    BAGHULK.. I laughed. Thanks for that. She is pretty terrible. Blue should at least spit out strike tiles whether or not there are other special tiles on the board.

    You want your abilities to do something when you use them? Please.

    Well I just ate the worst cascade I've ever seen...

    L166 Mostorm, L135 CMags and L110ish Doom didn't look like they'd be that hard - until Mostorm and CMags joined forces to do unspeakable things to Punisher. Mag Projectiles cascaded into a red crit which was enough red to fire off Mistress which cascaded into enough purple - including a crit again! - to launch Translocation. Net result, dead Punisher by turn four. Damn near 7000 damage in one turn icon_eek.gif

    Doom had somehow managed to scrape up enough black to throw Demons down after all that so I took it as a sign and ran away.
  • Would really appreciate not getting hit by gipsy or armand 3 times in a row... also... please take them out of my queue because I keep cycling through them every other match...
  • I'm sure this isn't news to many of you, but I'm finding Doom to be a nice anti-OBW since I don't have a usable CMags. Even though Doom can't do anything with the purple, he can do decent damage and his blue changes all the other blue to black, which she can't use. Of course, the opposing Doom can use black, but I only use that move when it won't help my opponent.

    More importantly, his blue is a nice UDaken killer.
    Use it, watch Udaken slowly die in a corner.

    Of course that doesn't make Doom viable in normal PVP, but it's a nice bonus in his own tourney.

    But then CMags is all sad he's got nothing to play with icon_cry.gif
  • I wonder if there's a team I could put together on my roster with Doom to not be doing the same old stuff. I'm sure it'll end up just being cStorm/mnMags and OBW/Thor or Ares or Wolvie, but it'd be nice.

    If what's in your signature is up to date, I don't think you've many other options. If you had more green covers on Patch I'd definitely suggest throwing him in but he might be worth a try as he is.

    Demons + Strike Tiles + Hulk = Bad Times

    So naturally I've got nothing in my nodes but Hulk-flavoured teams icon_lol.gif
  • I have found a oddly different yet fun and moderately effective team to run in this tournament.

    Doom + mnMags + hood

    gather purple to make blue to turn the blue black to summon the demons
    passive steals and red and yellow ap generation abilities

    Yes I know not a power team by any means but it adds a new layer onto using MnMags purple in that you want to leave some blue in strategic places so when it becomes black it matches and cascades. All three of mine are a bit underleveled but they went out and had fun today so I thought I would share.

    I tried the MNM combo but not with Hood. Was so so effective but could see the potential.
    What are your levels? My Doom is 5/2 117(with PVP buff), MNM is 5/4/4 94, and Hood is 3/1/2 78... I'm not sure if that would be enough put together?
  • doom is also 5/2 ~ 120 in the tourney, mag is cover maxed but only level 70 or so, hood is 4/3/2 at 102.

    would love for hood to have 5 in yellow and blue. More doom blue might be helpful but not overwhelmingly so.

    I only try to collect purple/blue/black which typically leaves enough of the others on the board for hood to be working denial and the red pile for Mags adds up over time.

    As it is now, mags covers red, hood yellow and doom everything else.

    and just to reiterate, not a power combo, just something I found fun to play with. Doom still gets knocked around a bit but the other two not so bad. It does get challenging to lay the blues once there are attack tiles all over the board, but I appreciated the extra layer of thought that running this combo injected into each match.
  • I see that there's nowhere near the activity in this PvP as there was 1.5 days prior to end as in Punisher. There was a lot going on that day... Not so much today. Totally dead out there.

    People were concentrating on PVP.
    I can't even remember when I was below 300 so far into an event icon_lol.gif

    Does seem that once over 850 or so...there's no one out there. Most node matches are lower point total teams. Definitely seems a bit slower than usual, even though the pve is still in process.

    Hehe, yeah. So were you, though icon_e_smile.gif
    So I guess S.H.I.E.L.D is better at multitasking icon_lol.gif

    Not at all, lol... just had some extra time between pve refreshes icon_e_smile.gif. Besides, I haven't been grinding pve to grab first, just trying to maintain t10 mainly.

    Yes. I was actually thinking of taking my max pun out of certain battles in favor of hulk just a deterrent. Doom will place demons, then I use my falcon to increase them just a bit more and watch the magic happen. Hulk will just sit there with his insanely high health.

    The only drawback is that hulks anger could cause you to lose some of those demons... guess it would be worth it if I won quick enough
