All alts...
*weeps*
Even Rilla...
Which would effectively make me the Arena Mod.

Any one could have exploited it (he literally had a self destruct button any character could have made us of). Sand Wraith was the one that could only be harmed by Magical weapons.
Also that was probably Rilla's goal, or it was shear luck. Thing with fire arms, if you have them only a certain kind of set characters have a chance. Without them gives ppl a little more leeway in what they can throw in.
From what I remember there wasn't a single formidable ranged character in that tournament, except maybe Cassana. (probably spelled wrong, memory fails me) Lyzan was the best swordfighter and he couldn't even get close to destroying the Necroloth's core with his ability to spontaneously defend himself with bones, so what chance did anyone else have at melee?

Be nice not to be the only one. And Lyzan and I have only ever been in one match, in which i shockly did better than I thought I would XD. And despite being here from oldguild. I have not once been in any short of match with Rilla, Skallagrim, or yoshua171... come to think of it I don't recall even fighting ImportantNobody either... except kind of one time.
Starting to feel like Melon head is the only person in the arena some times.
Sometimes my hands get tired, typing from all my alt accounts.
I mean what, no, there's plenty of people in the Arena.

Still, my instinct was screaming at it. Not to mention using only a few non original pcs and not listing actual ability example like what you stated doesn't give me an accurate image of the tiers. Part of the issue I have with tiers is they don't provide max or minimal stat deceptions to go off of for a player to ensure they aren't in the next tier.
Yeah, tier is a pain to work with, that's why we've gone with a more general system for this re-iteration and we're allowing people to balance fights themselves. Only tournament hosts have to work on balancing out more than two/four players, I pray for them. Metaphorically.
The issue with the Necroloth is it had very specific weaknesses that none of its opponents could exploit. That WOTW tournament was strange in that everyone brought in characters roughly around the T3 mark, with a few odd powers thrown in to mix things up, but for the most part everyone was from a sword-and-sorcery style background that gave the characters a good mesh. I suspect it was because Rilla hardcore nerfed firearms and other similar ranged attacks, essentially causing a really good balance of similar characters.
By accident I suspect, but I'll give Rilla props regardless.

Yes. I can see how intangible regeneration could be problematic.
You had to bare in mind that the hands weren't actually the target, but ignoring the hands inevitably left you outflanked, it was a hard situation for any character to be in. Though a speedster of his tier level could probably defeat Solomon.

Sure, I'd be cool with that. Lemme take a look, and we can start working on a basic concept.
Check that post for my edited in question on your character's powered form.
<Snipped quote by MelonHead>
Were they armored hands? It seems odd that something like that would be OP.
They could become intangible, my character manipulated them like magical puppets and they drained the life and energy from anything they touched, on top of being incredibly strong and durable, and quickly regenerated if they became inoperable.
The issue is that an opponent couldn't really tangle with the hands, but one could easily be used to defend the fairly weak puppet-master while the other could throw an opponent about. Once you're grabbed by something like that your options are ultimately limited.
Oh, by the way, anyone up for a non-ranked sparring match? I got Athinar up, so if anyone wants to battle, I'm game.
I've been looking for a fun fight as my current fights are fairly high-octane, which aren't the best places for silly experimentation. Would you be alright with fighting me? I can find a character to match you and you can take a look.
Quick issue though, your CS isn't very specific. For example, he is able to increase his physical stats by double, but as far as I could tell you never actually said what they are at a base rate in his powered form.

They'll hunt your dreams!
I made a character pretty much completely based around two giant floating hands used as weapons, I deemed him too OP for further use after one fight.
