I'd love to hear from you or anyone else who has. Out of respect please do not disclose the team used if u have, I am just more interested to hear if it's possible!

I know for a fact it's possible - a friend messaged me. I've done it in my testing too. Lots of variables - sometimes Nav goes first - sometimes DM uses power instead of Wrath -
Sometimes explosives don't trigger at all - sometimes Wrath doesn't remove enough buffs - etc

R1ck also mentioned in this thread he beat it once going second...

yeah it'S possible but it's tough and requires normal rng. and no way you can do this 100%, even 80%+ would be quite impressive but maybe doable.
i think there is no way to beat it going 2nd AND being somewhat unlucky...but maybe someone has figured out something better, so that's at least my experience so far.

Yeah, good memories :)

But did not lose to Nicko yet... Others I have, eight times so far. Best one? Buttons gone missing of course, four times, impressive! (Devs, could you look into this?).

Glad I'm enjoying Shaolin x Carlos battle from the sidelines. Hope Kamuz, Nicko and others will join.

I remember doing lots of testing on that and when it finally came together my eyes about popped out of my head! Yes - that was truly crazy - because it was truly broken!

Yup - GMAC of course tells the truth - every time I see his name it's not a Hold. And also the gentleman he didn't post his secrets - but that's part of the fun of a defense like this - figuring out how it works and then breaking it...

And this weeks race is all Carlos and Shaolin unless someone else jumps on board - I'm joining GMAC with the popcorn - and from the looks of things - Shaolin won't stop until he breaks 10,000...

I'm either REALLY lucky - or one of the toons on the team is helping with that ;)

LMAO :D you luckbox...

I'm 3-0 against it so far, sure it's not going to stay that way. Went 1st once and went 2nd the other two times. If you can win against this one I don't think you will have to worry much about the copycats because it's most likely they don't have the skill shards for both of them. Damn Nicko, How do you stay close to 20% hold rate? I haven't been above 16% since tauntfest. Every thing that presents a challenge gets nerfed into oblivion. I wouldn't even care about hold rates if they would just fix this dumbass points system to where it actually makes since to clear a list again. There is no point in taking a battle that gives 12 points, then lose 13 ... until Saturday

It was then lights out.

My Hold percentage in its best week was 60% :p

Oh! I remember the good old days, with endless revenges we were battling back & forth literraly all week long :)
