I got an iron-clad box once in w13 and it contained black knee-breaches $5K. I did 5,3K damage in that battle and dodged 1 shot lol. I´m dueler there too and I think I was one of the top in damage that´s maybe why I got one.
I'm not saying there are no performance based boxes! I'm saying performance has no effect on
contents of boxes.
As I've said 100 times, some boxes are performance-based, but a lot of boxes are completely random. I'm not speculating on this, I'm stating a fact. Guaranteed boxes in a "real" battle, i.e. not a 10-round turkey shoot:
1. Top damage
2. Top dodges
And from my and other people's experience with duelers it also seems like:
3. Top average damage
And there's no question that KOs do not get boxes. I've had too many "real" battles with top KOs and no box.
There's also no question that there are random boxes, which seem to me to be the majority of boxes dropped. I've seen too many people with crappy battles without a single bright spot who have gotten boxes. I've seen a couple of first round KOs get a doctor's bag and a box. Any suggestion that things like top misses gets a box is just wrong. If they got a box, it was probably random, unless they were top dodges too, or led some other category that we don't know of.
There
may be other stats that earn boxes, but the fact that KOs don't makes me doubt it. You also don't have to be #1 overall or on your side to get a performance box. The better the battle with the more overall damage and the more people who get boxes for damage.
