    At least with a fully covered (and nearly maxed) BunnyPunPun I can take it easy this event and aim for 800 or so and just finish wherever. Hopefully the next PvP will be Sentry covers and they'll rotate the yellow to the top 100. That'd do me nicely.

    With the Spidey/OBW healing nerf and magneto looking to be absolutely demolished in the name of fun balancing, perhaps now is when DD becomes a viable option?
    His color palette is pretty good though if you take Mjolnir out of the mix yellow is hard to boost to 12.

    Pretty much no reason to use DD still while I have a 128 Magneto. But who knows how hard he will be nerfed.

    As long as UDaken converts DD's traps, he won't become a viable option, ever.

    Hate to break it to you, pal, but no amount of oBW/Magneto nerfing will make Daredevil viable. All Magneto overnerf would do is rid us of another playable character.

    Seems my CMags/Patch and Punny/Betsy combos still work plenty well with OBW around. I think I've only really been hammered once so far as a result of not having her around (AI cascaded enough yellow for Ares to Sunder and I had enough purple at the time to AR if she'd been there) and switching between the combos as one or more get beat up let me get over 200 without using more than one healthpack. I am using the loaner bagdevil a lot so that probably helps.

    But I mean oh noes, the game is broken!

    I agree that switching between a variety of team combos has been fun and affective. Got to over 300 with a couple of switch ups and almost no health pack usage. A varied/deep strong roster will be a boon moving forward.

    The funny thing about this tourney is that I'm actually winning half my defensive wins. Running a really basic squad but I'm of the mind that Daredevil is just blowing people up considering he's the only Damager on my squad.

    Fun fact: Daken does not overwrite your own red traps.

    Color changes don't either.

    I noticed that for the 1st time today. A red trap turned green after thunderstorm then got matched by AI for 7.5k damage. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    My traps are doing almost 9k damage, and I"ve been able to set one off almost every match so far. I've said it before: Daredevil is incredibly unreliable, but he's a ton of fun to play.

    I gotta agree with this. Few things are more satisfying than downing a character at full health with a crotch-kick.

    Grr. Enemy trap overwrote mine. Not that it would resolve anytime this millennium, but still. Go Daredevil!

    I can't bring myself to use a 24hr shield in this one.
    I'll push around the 8 hour mark and end up wherever I'll end up. Always wanted to see how that goes, anyway.

    I wasn't paying attention and ended up using a 24hr shield 20 minutes before I was supposed to... Currently rank 3. :/

    I've been doing that for the last couple tourneys since I don't need the rewards and the rest of the alliance has been awesome. Thought I would end up in the upper 600s, but have ended up in the 800s both times (one top 10 and one top 5)

    I was able to pull top five last time on a 3-hour, but that's usually difficult. I'll probably try the same thing this time; my DD's 9000 hit point crotch-kick of doom seems to be scaring off challengers; I've been attacked two or three times so far, and won all of them. If I needed the covers, I'd probably at least use an 8-hour, but that's becoming rarer and rarer as I get more 3*s cover complete (11 so far).

    I must say, I'm surprised that so many people have a maxed or well-leveled Bagdevil.
    How useful is a maxed Daredevil? Let me show you.

    Had a retal against oBW/maxed LT/maxed DD. Although I usually run Hood or Magneto alongside LT, I decided to take my own Widow 'cause what the heck. My LT was hurt from the previous fights (about 3-4k health) and I didn't bother healing him.
    Cue the enemy getting some red cascades early and using Mjolnir on my Thor; then enemy Bagdevil even had enough red to deploy Ambush. I saw an available 5-of-a-kind red match and proceeded to take it, despite knowing full well that it probably contained a trap. So it did and my almost-dead LT dropped like a potato sack. I hit enemy LT with an Ambush of my own but got lucky because they got a cascade that triggered the trap. He was far from being dead, however, and even got 14 green to which I sacrificed my Bagdevil, of course. Badly hurt Widow proceeded to finish off LT with Espionaged matches and then it was oBW against a fully healthy maxed Daredevil with buffed match damage and some traps deployed.
    And so it began!
    I was simply matching purple, blue and black, sometime yellow and green if there were no favourable matches, and was careful about matching red or even making 4-matches that could wipe a red tile. Of Radar Sense, I couldn't be afraid very much. I used AGD and Recon every other turn while Bagdevil was spamming traps and Latverian Terrain and matching his own traps to hit me with some damage or steal 1 purple.

    End of the match. Espionage trumped traps, and when DD dropped, there were like 5-6 notifications of 'Trap disarmed'. Yes, the orange mark shows how weak my oBW was at one point during the match (right when I killed everyone except DD).

    tl:dr: Daredevil is a princess.

    Maybe so but it's still fun booting someone in the face when one of his traps actually go off icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Earlier in the tournament, I was expecting to lose a match where I just had a < 50% health Daredevil left against a near-full health 141 Hulk. Completely forgot that Ambush would be more damaging with the boosted levels. It's extremely satisfying to pull out a 11380 damage move.
