so, played in lowell’s game today and again i’m having concerns about how to build positive heat between wrestlers. I got lucky tonight in that i was thrown into a royal rumble with the character i wanted to build positive heat with, allowing me to use my face move to gain heat, but apart from this it seems like the only reliable way to build heat (to the point you can get tag teamed) is through promo.
It does seem strange that you can’t use face moves to build positive heat as it only lets you gain heat with your opponent.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Maybe house rules to make it easier, such as if wrestler A is getting beat up by wrestler(s) B, you can use the interrupt action to come to their aid (assuming creative said you weren’t around in the first place), and as long as you don’t botch, you gain positive heat with wrestler A.
You can always cut a promo, and say good things about them.
Have a respect match.
Don’t get hung up on the word “opponent” – that’s what it says on the reference sheets, but you gain heat with the subject of a promo or other Move, as long as it makes sense in context
