  • I saw DareDevil and my first thought was "Well, I'm trying to get Hawkeye covers. Maybe that's the 2* for this." Then I saw the 2* is Bagman

    Hopefully the Daredevil PvP has better reward covers.
  • Dare Devil and Bag-Man! Bwahahahhahaha!!!!

    Seriously are these the worst possible rewards ever? I you gut with the healing changes they were trying to make me stop playing...now I'm sure of it. Guess I'll get a couple days off at least.

    First team my maxed 2* faced, they nearly get wiped by CStorm.

    In the New Health Economy, I've decided to skip any team with her, and leave her as a defensive team member when I finish a session. It should at least discourage the other 2* teams.

    I opened it up right away and got seeds. Just gotta be quick I guess?
    I got the "Comm Link Disrupted" immediately after Hotshot ended, which probably also forced through the healing data/patch update so when it came back a minute later the seed teams were already gone. It's probably what happened to you since I find as long as the app is even open the seed teams will populate whether you open it up immediately or wait a little while.

    Yeah, I've had LRs populate with seeds even though I was doing a pve clear for a good 15 minutes, whereas if the app is closed and I'm even a single minute late, no dice

    Yeah she's definitely taken a big leap forward again. Her and Hulk are going to need even more careful handling now.

    Not in my bracket it won't - I've got 2* teams filling my top 10 and there's already sitting on 500-600 points.

    Hopefully I can hit a few later icon_twisted.gif
  • With all the health changes I figured my best defensive team might be 77 GSBW/85 Wolv/87 Hulk.

    The only problem though is that I'd look at that team and think I could beat it so I'm not sure if I should use it or not

    You'd be surprised - I'd be wary taking on Hulk at L87. He's still got a load of health but you can trigger anger with basic matches.

    Depends on the build, really. Anything less than 5 Black is a green generating punching bag.

    That's my thought exactly. He's 5/2/2. I wish he had 5 black but I haven't got any of those since my first two covers

    There is that icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I've thrown my L83 5/3/2 to the wolves with his good buddy Patch as backup. I get beat down constantly by 141s anyway and that's not going to change anytime soon, I'm just hoping they'll persuade the L85 crowd to move along and someone squishier to take on.

    Sidenote: I'm seeing a whole lot of CStorm/MNMags teams - a lot more than I thought I would.

    Yeah the whole poin of using hulk is to hopefully ward off the 85's but i'll see how that goes.

    In the meantime everytime i look for a match i can only find people with less then 100 points so can only get 10 max points a battle. Gonna be a long graft if i want to get any points i think.

    With the changes to healing, unless the person is running a Storm (Classic) or is very careful in the use of Black Widow (Modern) or (Original) in the 2* range, they should be wary of what Hulk can do to their team if he gets off a hit. Healing changes may edge out a win or just force them to pass if their team isn't healthy enough for that fight. Hulk not being stunned is like asking for hurt.

    Saw a lot of MMags/CStorm this morning. Not sure,is that the backup team to OBW/Thor? Easy wins for me if thats the case.

    True. Im thinking field a scary enough team and you should see less retal attacks - but I always check the teams' rosters to make sure that the 10pt team you're facing is not their B team.
  • After I got 4 3* from my 10-pack last night, I might try a few new team ups and to see what happens for this event.

    I am so pumped!! I need those bagman covers so bad..finally he's a PvP reward. This is like Xmas morning!
  • I've been having more fun with this than I expected. I finally have 5 pts in green (and 4 in purple), and it's gone off more times than I would have thought. Currently paired with my 141s (IM40 and Punisher) but I might switch to a GSBW/Hulk/Spidey team soon.
  • So, I tried using 92LT/77Hulk/45GSBW... it isn't too bad. It all depends on the game though. If I can't get purple matches, then I have to rely on Hulk to provide LT with greens. I am still considering different teams though. Just not sure who else to use other than my max 2*. (Damn this diversity stuff)

    I did get my final green cover for GSBW from the last tourney but I don't really have any spare iso to spend on her. Still I have used daken/thor/GSWB team quite successfully even though she is only level 60 unbuffed. Her levels doesn't really matter on offence as I use widow just for her purple and on defence she useless no matter how high level she has. I used to think she was quite bad but I have changed my opinion of her as deceptive tactics along with thunder strike has enabled me to use double call of storms in this tournament.

    So I joined today and managed to get myself up to Top 5 (over 500 points) before I decided to break with no shield. Still holding it. Gonna go in and blitz my way to 700-800 tomorrow and pop an 8 hr shield in the afternoon and expect to edge out a top 5 run still. These 8 hour shields have been the only thing allowing me to reach 3* rewards for the last couple of weeks and has worked well with my schedule.
