Jsut a few more notes and tips for those pushing on the top 100 border. Just based on the probabilities, when you send out a help request, it is far more likely to go to someone lower ranked than you that it is to someone higher ranked. I was able to receive a good amount of requests from Masa and Bomber345, but I hardly ever saw my requests go up to them.

However there were 2 really good runs I had where it seems the ally request greatly favors ally's withing 10 spots of you.

The first was on Saturday night when myself and Oblagon kept boosting each other. I would get his help requests and he would get mine. This happened again yesterday afternoon when myself and Gojuanes had a run where we kept boosting each other.

The boosting works due to the behavioral trends I saw in the game. If you open up on a level 6 boss with 1 cube for anywhere from 25M-60M damage, people will be slow to jump on that request, they will wait to see movement... however if 2 people within the first minute each smack the boss for 30M+ damage, there is greater buy in from the other people on the list as there are now 2 heavy hitters in play.

Likewise, if you just decide to open up on a boss with a 3 cube hit for over 100M you signal to the help request list that you have the cubes to spend and that it will not escape, which leads to a quick frenzy of people who want to jump on the point piñata.

If anyone else wants to add to this - feel free!
