The Forum Draft series!

[holepercent]

(to the beta forum drafters: take note that this is simplifed.. there is no tier pick anymore. just pick the element, each element no more than 3 times)

ELEMENT DRAFT PHRASE

Draft order:

1st pick: lesher

2nd pick: soyamilks

3rd pick: moves

4th pick: jolin012

5th pick: jolin012

6th pick: moves

7th pick: soyamilks

8th pick: lesher

9th pick: lesher

10th pick: soyamilks

11th pick: moves

12th pick: jolin012

For your pick, pick a element. The same element can be picked no more than 3 times. Extra pures must also be drafted if you wish to have extra pure available for summoning. The draft host will be adding $$$ into the pool at the end.

3 picks only per player. 12 picks in TOTAL by all 4 players. Each player contributes 3 to make the final 12.

lesher: 1st, 8th and 9th pick.

soyamilks: 2nd, 7th and 10th pick

moves: 3rd, 6th and 11th pick

jolin012: 4th, 5th, 12th pick

please wait for your turn. ensure that the drafter who is before you has made his choice before you make yours. keep to the order above. to help others, include the pick number when making your choice. therefore, the first post by lesher should be something ike

1st pick: fire

second post by soyamilks would be something like

2nd pick: water

and so on...

First drafter can take some time to think through before starting. Consider what towers have been removed.

[dvdlesher]

Okay, my turn!

1st pick : Nature

[Guest soyamilks]

2^ndpick : Light

The first element I play is light,

The first element I like is light,

the little winking light shows its power in range,

light is my pick.

[holepercent]

So the first dual is life towers.. which is removed from the pool...

[Guest soyamilks]

yes

I am sure

that's what I want

[Guest Sancdar]

So, I was getting tired of trying to figure out what was still allowed and possible with the current draft picks, so I made a crappy little spreadsheet to keep track of things. I've already entered the current removals and first 2 element picks. I might have messed up on some of the required elements or towers, so tell me if you see something that's wrong.

Edit: Storm requirements are listed as Fire/Light/Nature by accident, cell D35 should have an I7 instead of an I6 in the formula.

$$$NLFDDFLWW

5-elements without earth..

@sancdar. thanks for the sheet.. would be very useful for all drafters..

[Cisz]

Question: Why is the 6 ele build not allowed? And why remove periodics? Is is because in another version this was overpowered?

[holepercent]

6-ele is allowed.. it was just an advise.. (edited to make it clearer)

to ensure some possible variety and not every game ending the same using periodics...

[Guest soyamilks]

before I come back home, I was thinking to pick earth or light in my last pick

But after seeing lesher's pick, I need to think again

But I have made up my mind when I am bathing

10^th pick : light 3

[dvdlesher]

TBH, I've still got to agree with Cisz, becuase IMO periodics isn't imba anymore... And I'm quite sure that not everyone will use it because current 6-ele build is very hard to accomplish

But if you insist to remove it, that's fine

[jolin012]

IMO it is fine if someone adds Earth - since with worse combinations the interest picks become viable, and this offers for more variety since there are only 12 normal picks to choose from all would use basicly the asme elements, not same towers maybe.

Anyway, water 3 would make ice, nature 2 would make supernova and earth would make for some new combinations, If I would add an earth 2 that is. We'll see.

[Guest Moves]
