What's the limit of L8 resos on a portal by a single player?
in General
I've just gotten back into Ingress after a ~7 year hiatus, and lots has changed. I had to start a new account because my old was lost, so I'm slowly trying to grind my way up again. In my area there's a player that has at least one portal where they have stacked the portal with all L8 resos. All the material I can find on this (though most of it is at least a few years old) says one player can have 1-2 L8 resos on a portal, but I haven't found anywhere that confirms one player can put down 8...

The current limit is one L8. What you are seeing can happen through the use of ADA & Jarvis viruses. They are used to change the faction of a portal and whoever does it ends up owning all the resonators. Two people working together can repeatedly flip and bump a portal and raise it to L8 but this is far easier with more than 2. There are a lot of permutations with the use of viruses, you may run across portals with all resonators owned by ADA or Jarvis as well. Be aware there is also a cool down period of an hour between use of viruses if you start experimenting with them.
Thanks! There's so much to learn in Ingress. I'll have to look around on YT for some good guides!
