Welcome to anybody coming here as a result of Reddit, VGG, or the Steam community forums!

Rook City comes out for Sentinels Digital on Tuesday. The people who participated in teh first app battle had a lot of fun (I was one of them), so I figure I'll get the ball rolling for the next round.

Overview

This is a team based event, where you try to score the most points. During each round, you will have to make 3 teams to go after the three villains. Each villain you defeat will score you a point. Whichever team has the most points at the end of three rounds wins.

Teams

Each team will consist of 3 players, and each player must face a different villain in each round. Each player will only play 1 match a round. Submit your team compositions through the form here.

Villains

I will randomize the villain and environment matches for each round. All villains must be played on advance. Villain variants will be added to the randomization. If a variant is rolled, you must play the variant version.

Hero Teams

In order to face the villains, you will form 3 teams of heroes from the 13 available in the app for each round. At the start of the new round, you can rearrange your teams. You can select your teams after seeing the villain/environment matches, and you can select which team will fight which villain.

Each hero can only be selected once per round, and all heroes must be used. You can either spread out the heroes in 3-5-5 or 4-4-5. This is your choice, and it can be changed from round to round. You can select the order of the heroes for each game in each round.

While players are discussing team composition, partial games of up to 3 complete rounds may be played. If such a "discussion" game goes past the 4th villain turn, it must be completed and will count as one of the games for that round. Once a single team has been completely selected, or a game completed and logged, no more "discussion" games may be started. (Those who were in the first app battle - would you consider this to be a fair ruling based on the kerfuffle last time?)

Promo Heroes

At the beginning of each round, I will randomize which variant of a hero is available. Assuming that you have unlocked that variant hero, you may only use that hero for that round. If and only if nobody on your team has unlocked that variant, then the standard version of that hero can be used instead, at a score penalty of 1 incapacitated hero (even if the battle is a victory). You can know which variant is available before selecting your teams.

Timeline

You will have until Wednesday, 29 April at 1:00 PM CST to submit your teams. (Note extended sign-up due to Apple-induced delay.)

For each round, you will have approximately 72 hours to create your teams and play your games. Any games not done by then will be considered a loss, and all heroes incapped.

Results

All results should be submitted through a form that will be provided. You will need to submit your team, the player on the team, the heroes used, number of incaps, and a link to a screenshot of your results (if you can). Any loss, not just being incapped, is considered a loss, and all heroes are considered incapped. Please do not post your results to the forum, so other teams can’t see your hero selection before playing.

Your team scores 1 point for each victory you had. You do not lose anything for being defeated.

At the beginning of a new round, I will post the results of the last round. At that point, you may post any session reports of the previous round.

Rounds, Winner, and Tiebreaker

The game will last for 5 rounds. The team with the most points is the winner.

In the case of a tie, whichever team had the least amount of incaps will be the winner.

Questions? Ask away.

Edit on 4/14: Team sign-up form is live. Go register your team here, the sooner the better. :)
