Hi all,

Once this event is over, would anyone want to spare some time to create some useful tools (I'm thinking in Excel as it's all I know) for the good of everyone here? Some of the things I'm considering are listed below. If you'd like to help make them or would like some of them, do say so.

'1. Episode logbook': I use this to keep track of my daily cube usage and cube efficiency. Also help me spot patterns in my behaviour or trends of several episodes and experiment with strategies and note their effects.

' 2.  Space bridge probability calculator': Before you splurge on the space bridge, know the odds. What’s the % chance you’ll get a matched pair of cards to MTM if you buy only the first 2 tiers? 3? 5? 10 tiers? 20? Match this with the cost of each tier and you can see how many MTMed raid sets you can reasonably (50 th percentile), pessimistically (25 th percentile) and optimistically (75 th percentile) expect when spending X amount of dollars on the space bridge. (Will probably use Monte Carlo simulations of a few thousand iterations for this.) (This one may have to be updated for each episode based on the R4 probability and tier structure for that event)



'3.  Team simulator': See what the stats of each member of your team would be in the Team screen. Useful if you want to see if you should MTM your new reward card, or if you want to know where to place your various cards in the x3 or x2 slots. (This file would need to be regularly updated with the stats of the latest bots with each episode)



' 4.  BOSS BATTLE simulator': Given your team line-up, and the observed damage dealt to and received from a boss, how much predicted damage will your team do at the 25 th, 50 th and 75 th percentile? This will show you how swing-y your deck is for damage as you tweak it. Will probably use Monte Carlo simulations of a few thousand iterations for this. However, simulating a battle, with the probability for critical hits, is probably a TOTAL pain to do. I’m not optimistic this will get done as it’s a total pain to make, and I’m not smart enough to make this one alone.
