The game manual claims that tipping point is meant to be offensively played, but I can’t help but notice that it seems significantly easier to deny points rather than to score points. First, as has been discussed to death already, possessing neutral mogos as early into the game as possible is going…

I feel like some of this has been discussed in this thread, just phrased a different way. [image] How Important are Rings? VRC > Tipping Point (21/22) There’s been a noticeable lack of discussion around what sort of strategies will be the most competitive this year, namel…

I completely agree that some of this has been addressed in other threads, but I haven’t seen many people discussing the viability of taking opponent mobile goals, or the viability of hoarding 4+ mobile goals without elevating which is one of the main points of creating this topic.

I think you will have to elevate all your goals.

Also I really don’t see much descoring happening this year. I don’t plan on stacking any rings on neutral goals that I am not in firm possession of, an…

The only issue with holding 4+ goals is that unless the black base or colored “bowl” is not touching the field tiles, no points are scored.

I have three problems with mass mogo possession. if you can even grab 4 mogos with the other teams needing to grab at least one and there only being two for only your team and three to share between both alliances. once you have possession of that many goals the added weight could be enough that …
