Week 80 and we’re just over a year and a half of the theme teams. This time we had all the ceratopsians in the game plus a couple big bad’s for damage support.
This was a very slow week to start with and I didn’t climb much even with the help of Indominus and Indoraptor. By the end of the week though I had begun flying back up and ended the week in the top end of Jurassic Ruins where I appear to have plateaued out.
The swap, dig in, slow and swap format for this team worked very well. Nasutoceratops and Triceratops G2 were the only let downs in this regard and they ended up being the sacrificial goats when I needed one. Shame really. I was pleased though that often this would still net me wins and I didn’t need to rely on the big bad’s for my death dealing. Ceratopsians made for a good team although with some opponent’s I felt bad because it didn’t really give them a game.
My weaknesses this week were an abundance of Sarcorixis (joy…) and creatures capable of throwing out shields. Sarcorixis was just about everywhere yet again. Those were basically the games I lost if I didn’t draw the Indominus or Indoraptor.
Creature of the week was without a doubt Sinoceratops. She is one of my favourites and did me proud out there this week.
Weakest link was Nasutoceratops. She doesn’t really fit the ceratopsian theme and has no means of healing (although Triceratops G2 doesn’t either I find her rampage worthwhile). For a creature which was a hard to come by exclusive for such a long time, Nasutoceratops feels underwhelming.
Next week is Stegosaur week plus the same big bad’s. Should be more of a challenge but hopefully not too bad.
Antarctopelta and Europlocephalus are doing much much better overall.
