It's true.

..all of it.

I've been straight up strapped to my chair playing vassal for two days. I haven't won many. But daaaaammnn have there been some good games.

Some real nail biters with my silly lists. It's a net gain. Two days of good times.

Yeah, focus it down. You can't figure out a list in one game, you need practice and repetition and varied opponents with varying levels of insight.

This one speaks truth. I've been maining Defenders since I won mine at Imdaar Alpha. I've gotten good with them, I like them. I have my favorite builds (see Brath Salts) and the ones I avoid (Vessery, mostly because I don't like forming a squad to fit a ship). But I didn't realize how well I knew them until I faced other people who were just hopping on the new Defender Hotness wagon thinking their x7 or D would give them the auto win.

It really pays to know your ship inside and out.
