The AI in Invasions is shameful

[Rikimaru]

- Always tries to hit you first at the start of every round. No other strat

- Doesn't dash

- Slowly and obviously walks backwards when trying to use a ranged move.

- Same when going in for a grab or combo

- If you interrupt certain moves or it can't reach you, it will try over and over until it hits. Or in Nitara's case, will fly all around the screen like a dope trying to find you.

And then the absolute worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sin in a fighting game:

- It successfully combos you then...waits 5 seconds for you to have a turn???

This just feels so cheap and you're expected to play hundreds of matches against glorified punching bags.

It almost feels like modifiers and armor are their excuse for difficulty. Is it going to be like that in every game now?

If you've played for a while, there's no unpredictability and no pressure.

I honestly wish I could play it on the hardest difficulty like in Story because at least that was difficult and more engaging.

True and that makes invasion for me so boring, grindy and easy

[Jaguaruna]

I preffer this way, I just grind faster as I can to go to KL

[Necropants]

What do you expect they only just now upgraded to unreal engine 4. In 2023 NRS are living in the past... again.

[M4N]

It behaves like a typical KL player.

I just dont apply any of my stat points, unless I need some for an interesting relic. It makes it more interesting

The seasonal tower is way too stressful since level 40. Other towers are simple, as you usally play em for grinding I prefer to win fast and not to fight for the last blood drop.

I heard that seasonal tower XP has been nerfed you know.
Someone on reddit posted they've grinding it and realised now there's a cap they put on it so you only get a regular amount.

I did post it on here in the rewards thread well before it was mentioned on Reddit... it doesnt scale up at all but only scales down.

Ah ok
I was going to do it this season because I missed out last, but I ended up doing something weird instead:

I jumped on that tower asap at level 5 when I noticed the middle mesa had unlocked.
And kept quitting on the last battle, so I could grind the XP and coins and not level up my Invasions level.

Eventually I forgot and finished the last fight, ranked up to Invasions 14 in one go and kinda ruined Invasions for myself because I've been a higher level in every fight all the way up to the last mesa. I imagine that ruins the rewards too right?

But I did get my main and a few other characters up quite a few ranks and had a stack of koins to spend after doing it half a dozen times.
Perhaps I stumbled upon a good strat for starting seasons?

You will not get more than 300 XP for fighter and 80 for kameo. Add to that extra for finisher and flawless.. maximum is probably around 850 XP for fighter and 230 XP for kameo (if u flawless and brutal). This is even worse than what I was getting farming lvl 1 opponents in season 1.

[Rikimaru]

big ouch

really want that grind to last / playerbase not to drop dont they

[Shoah Kahn]

"Invasions" is simply a game mode there to gate the game's laughably meagre [free] content, and explicitly designed to sap players' time as such -- so as to keep them playing until the next, garish colour pallet "skins" arrive.

As such, the mode in question is doing e x a c t l y what it was intended to do; evidenced by the fact that people are actually wasting their time with it. 😏

Invasions is so boring, and Kameos are so stupid.
