Re: Importance of Climbing

I agree with 45Auto. Points are points. Ultimate Ascent is a high-scoring game, with alliance scores of 140 or more not uncommon. A good shooter can easily outscore a dedicated climber.

On the other hand, a balanced design combining a good shooter with a quick climb (30 s) can contribute significantly to its alliance's score.
