Many top rankers and experienced players talk about how they perceive mixed patterns of 2-1 to 2-6 (e.g., win -> lose -> win -> lose) and what kind of decisions they make, which is very helpful for beginners to intermediate level players!

You can’t win or lose five in a row every time, can you? So what do people do when they alternate between winning and losing?”

→ In this situation where the optimal economy cannot be set up, we asked for opinions on whether we should sacrifice HP and aim for a losing streak, or whether we should earn even 1 gold in a win.

Advice from those who have been there.

• We should not worry about alternating winners and losers, but choose the best solution according to the configuration.
  • Alternate wins and losses happen frequently and are not fatal.
  • If you are using a reroll configuration, prioritize consecutive defeats even if you have to cut HP, and if you are aiming for Fast 8/9, continue to create the strongest board.
  • If you took the combat system with 2-1 augments, aim to collect money through a winning streak.

• Understanding the correct value of HP and board and “if you can win, you win” is the correct answer.
  • In the higher ranks, ” accumulate small wins ” is the mainstream play, without being particular about streaks.
  • Don’t force 20/30G, but aim for a strong board, even if you have to cut interest if necessary.

• The value of 1 gold and HP is heavier than you might imagine.
  • We should not underestimate the importance of ” getting 1 gold + HP just for winning.”
  • A difference of only 1G between a 2-3 win and a 3-2 loss, even a difference of a few HP, could even be the difference between 3rd and 6th place in the final standings.

• It is in the “less than ideal early stages” that player skill is tested.
  • Too few guides assume that ” not everyone can win or lose in a row.”
  • In reality, there are many mixed patterns, which is why board reinforcement and flexibility to change plans are so important.

Excerpts of Impressive Comments.

• 3 losses in a row -> +1G for 2 wins, HP preservation is more valuable in many situations.
• If the board can’t win two or three games, quickly create a five game losing streak. Halfway is the worst.
• Mixed streaks narrow the “grace period for mistakes. That is why “flexibility” is important.
• Negative win-win-win is my favorite start (laughs)

(e.g. news) roundup

In response to this discussion, a person named PM_ME_ANIME_THIGHS-summarized the theoretical conclusions:

Comparison of developments after losing 2-3: Winning streak vs. losing streak

• If you lose consecutive games as it is (2-5, 2-6 also lost)
  • At 2-3, there is no bonus for consecutive losses, so gold is 0
  • In 2-5 and 2-6, +1G each as “2~3 consecutive loss bonus
  • Total: +3G (including bonus for consecutive losses on creep rounds)
  • However, HP loses about 10

　　　➡️ Gain is +3G, with HP loss

• If they continue to win consecutively (2-5, 2-6 wins)
  • Wins 2-5: +1G
  • If you also win 2-6, you will enter the 2-straight win bonus, +2G
  • Total +4G (including win streak bonus at Creep Round)
  • Plus, you don’t lose any HP.

　　　➡️ gain +4G, no HP loss

In other words, the conclusion is that ” if it’s not five losses in a row, it’s hardly worth aiming for a losing streak.

Also, as a practical observation of high rankers:

• In stages 2-3, the basic idea is to achieve the “strongest board” without streaks.
• Top players prioritize HP preservation even at the cost of interest.
• On the other hand, he noted that mid-level players tend to be too fixated on acquiring interest

In the end, he says, “The really strong players have the flexibility to cut interest rates and roll if necessary,” which can make the difference between winning and losing.

This opinion was one of the clearest theoretical answers to the question, “What do you do in an alternate win-lose situation?” was one of the clearest theoretical answers to the question, “What do you do in a win-lose situation?

impression

The ” ideal early game ” in TFT is certainly a series of wins and losses, but in the real world, things don’t always work out that well.

In this thread, “how to recover from a mixed bag of wins and losses” was discussed from a truly multifaceted perspective, and was full of practical knowledge!

You give a lot of important advice and remind us of the importance of Stage 2.
