Win pvp attacks, lose when I'm not "playing"

Unknown

Newbie q: I keep losing in pvp, when someone attacks me. But I win all the time when I attack. How can I best avoid dying when someone attacks me?
Related question: when someone attacks me, which roster characters defend me? My most recently used ones, or random, or what?

The most recent used winning attack team you used in the PvP event is your defense team. so if you (somehow) win with 2 level 1 cards, those will be your defenders.

the AI for defense is generally poor, unless you have overwhelmingly better covers than your attacker you will usually lose. Attackers can also use items to buff themselves on attack for situations where you do have overwhelmingly better cards.

PvP is a pay to rank game, you almost have to use shields to have a chance at top rewards, because you will (as you experience) get attacked and lose almost every time.

To the first, it's bloody difficult to win on defence because the AI generally cack-handed at using any of the available abilities so any human player can usually just wipe the floor with your team. That said, simple moves like Thors Thunderstrike + Call of the Storm are pretty easy for the AI to pull off.

To the second, it depends. Anyone you attack will see the team who defeated them, everyone else will see the team you last won with.

it's based on what team you used last. I wish there was a permanent def team setup. so no matter what team you are using; it would still play them. buying shields avoids damage from attacks. having your "A" team is only way to win attacks, not much more you can control about that.

That honestly sounds terrible. Hulk/Thor is probably the least fun team to fight in the whole game, and that's the one everyone would choose on D. I'd stop playing pretty fast.

With the changes to healing, do you honestly want to sit there and watch every team turn into OBW/Ares on defense or Sentry/Hood? Setting your own defense team has more problems with it than solutions. You can't honestly say you don't see that happening, can you?

with how small my roster is i don't want to lose points cause of stupid def cause i'm stuck using my 2* daken and modern hawkeye cause everyone is tapped out and no more heath packs or use my **** "D" team 1st so i can end my session with my "A" team. before "true healing" i could play with my "A" team till either i got tired of playing or i finally hit that wall of 212/141/141 at about 850 points in pvp or when i got attacked 3x and lose (80+ points) before i can finish 1 match. if your superior rosters doesn't need "true healing" you can deal with set teams on def of patch /gold daken, sentry/hood, Cmags/patch, gold daken/sentry, put on your big boy/girl pants and play.

Haha, I don't know if you had to worry about me very much anyway.

How is that an unfun team to fight? Hulk's a big, slow punching bag like IM40.
