Fordekash Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hey does anyone regularly hit rank 2 in the arena without the L-M resistance modules (Ultrahot, supercharge and mighty)? I was around day one of the reboot and still have not received any of these L-M resistance modules. I have formed the opinion that I'll be stuck in Rank 3 until I get them. Do you top rankers agree or am I just making excuses for myself? would be nice if i would trade five of the eight rolling beast i have for one resistance module.. or five or the eight deleriums OKI DOKI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 You could probably hit rank 2 with max protector, I see you didn't mention that one. Also, it's dependent on your builds and who you are playing against. Many factors contribute to what rank you are capable of. OKI DOKI 1 I'm the real Turtle, simple as that.

Androphonia Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 No, probably not because epic protectors aren't enough SC2A, Fordekash, Sparks and 2 others 5 I polish rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.H.I.T.E.O.U.T Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It's possible but it's extremely difficult if you think you can get there without premiums in general. You can thank the Combined Storage Unit for being E-M and the Combined Engine Unit (and friends) for being L-M-ly powerful. If you fail and don't succeed at something, you simply haven't failed enough. Through failures, one can pave a path to eventual success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoultz262 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I don't think it's possible, unless you have a lot of platinum platings on a tanky mech like a dual deso or energy free physical. Resistances is a must for top ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunboy Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I got to rank 1 awhile ago with only an epic phys protector but it was very aggravating and i dont think its possible anymore due to the current state of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lord Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I reached rank 2 by only energy fortress with energy free heat mech and no platinum plate Also if I had plate instead of fortress it would be easier for me I agree that's almost impossible without 1 LM HP-res mod at least Edited January 7, 2021 by TheLord (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordekash Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I did get the max protector earlier this year when it was on sell. I used it a few times on energy free but find the monkey toros works better with zero resistance. I also agree with the other comment about a lot of platinum plates. If I had like 9-10 I think I could make something work for 3v3 but I only have three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoultz262 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Nevermind, you can in fact reach rank 2 without premium resistance modules, but only as a energy mech since both meta heat and physical mechs need resistances. My energy build was able to get rank 2 this season, without using resistances or platings. This might not be possible though unless you can make a very good energy mech.

trophy345OBLITERATED Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 you have to be extremely lucky in the matchups to even get to r2 without the big res mods, or be doing pvp at slow hours rc 1 resident shelf sitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firewater789 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I didn’t have res for the longest time so I saved my tokens and brought res offer or new res mods. If you can’t save your tokens I suggest you try to get level 250 for the max prot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordekash Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I do have one max protector that I bought but it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
