Welcome to the 20 / 20 Rewind! One year ago, I embarked on a grand effort to showcase FIFTY different Level 50 builds from my stable of Heroes, Vigilantes, Rogues and Villains I play on the Excelsior Shard. After wrapping up that series last week, I felt hollow and rudderless. So what's a poor altoholic to do? Start up another series of course! I therefore present to you the 20 / 20 Rewind! A look back at the level 50s I could've showcased, but never did. So the plan is, an additional 2 Level 50s from each of the main ATs I play: everything EXCEPT scrappers and stalkers... and I don't have any more Epics to show, either. For each character, I will present 3 videos. The first is the Build Discussion where I present my 'on paper' character using the awesomeness of Mids Reborn (thanks to the developers of that tool!). The second is the Solo Strategy where I run a pair of Council paper / radio missions set first to +2 x6 and then to +3 x8 and show my tips and strategies of how to use the build in a 'typical' scenario. Finally, the third video showcases the build on a set of 3-4 team missions set at +4 x8 against a variety of foes that appear on tips and radios/paper missions. The idea here is to progress from a theoretical discussion of a build to how it works in reality in both solo and team scenarios. Is the build as good in practice as it is on paper??? Watch the series of videos and decide for yourself! First up (because I can't remember alphabetical order), are 2 more Brutes!

Thanks for the looks. I spend a good deal of time on costumes when I make a new character. I'm no pro at it, but I like unique looks and try to tie them in with the character's theme. Luckily this game's costume creator is unmatched still even after all these years. And the screenshots probably are the hardest part of this whole series - getting the right angle, some sort of action pose, moving the camera, editing the pic. The screenies aren't are good as the real things, but they get the idea across for what the character looks like. Spore King is a hodge-podge of parts from different sets with a lot of the fire/ice elemental pieces. Included a lot of asynchronous pairings. It's hard to make a mushroom looking guy, so I went with this amorphous combo that suggests different types of fungi all fused together.
