Hello everyone,

I started this game 2 days ago and as a big MARVEL fan i immediately liked it! But as more as i play i start facing some problems...
For start, i didnt knew those Hero Points are so rare and i accidently bought first skill up for my Iron man with them (dammit!)

Well, now i miss those 100+ HP but i moved on... Next thing i realized i have very small roster capacity, so i bought 2 slots with HP i got from first 2 missions HAMMER and Juggernaut (another 100 HP gone)

Now i'm here with 6 roster slots, my problem is who to put in roster since its already full and i still have 3 heroes waiting to be claimed. Could you help me with any advice with those?
My current roster is:
Modern Black Widow lvl 16 - 4/5
Bag Man Spiderman lvl 15 - 1
Classic Hawkeye lvl 12 - 2/4
Iron Man M35 lvl11 - 2/3/1
Modern Storm lvl10 - 1/2/4
Dark Avengers SpiderMan Venom - lvl1 - 0/2

Heroes to claim: Classic Juggernaut, Marvel Now Magneto, Classic SpiderMan and Original Black Widow.

Thanks for any assistance,
Sale

    1) Get rid of Bagman and Venom. They're limited characters (especially BagMan) and are easy to re-attain.
    2) Add Original Black Widow (OBW). She's the most important character you'll have for a while. Add Spidey also. All covers with 3* should be retained.
    3) If you don't have the roster spot right now, don't worry about Juggernaut, you'll get him back soon enough through tokens and such.
    4) Try to get the HP to get another spot for Magneto, if you can't in time and don't want to buy the HP, dump Hawkeye. Hawkeye is good early, but his usefulness diminishes quickly as you get more characters.

    Then read this: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3939

    Your goal right now is to get through Stage 2 (the 1->2* transition). After that, check back in to the forums, as the strategy after that changes with every change they make to the game.

    Enjoy!
  • I would sell off Bag-Man (He is bloody awful and nearly useless), Venom and Hawkeye to claim Original Black Widow, Magneto, and Spidey.

    Getting your first OBW cover this early in the game is very nice. She will help you in the long run once you get more covers of her. Marvel Now Magneto is also a decent character once you get more covers of him. Spidey is Spidey. No longer super OP as he used to be, but still something you might want to hold on to. Juggernaut is a 1* common character so you can easily get many covers of him later and easily on the game if you realy want to.

    Thanks for your quick replies!
    Yeah i realised bag man is really **** so i have no problem selling him.
    Managed to get another roster space so now i an claim both Magneto and Black widow.
    So all my HP should go into roster slots?
    What is with those lightning events and loki event? I started good against bad teams but now i face teams 10x stronger than me... icon_e_sad.gif

    Yes, all HP early on should be devoted to roster spots.

    The events under the "versus" tab are known as PvP (player vs player) matches. And yes, you'll probably run into a wall of teams you can't beat right now. They have rewards in place for winning matches, and are not a bad source for ISO to level your characters. You won't really be competitive in them for a while, but no harm in getting a feel for them, and even last place gets a reward.

    As for Juggernaut, your roster is still (understandably) light on power. Replay some of the already defeated nodes (if they don't have a green check mark, there are still 'big' rewards to be acquired). That should get you the ISO/tokens to get stronger.

    Ok i managed to beat Juggs down... Added that 3* Spidey and OBW, it was a bit easier. Now off to Venom!
    I'm usualy replaying nodes that have specific coverto get, HP or even token (even tho i'm full now - 7/7).

    Story Simulator is giving me Normal and Hard battle. When i check Normal one it is green (easy) but opponent are lvl 40 x2 and lvl 15 - which is too big for me... Guess i should stick with normal story for now. *sigh* 400HP for 3 slots now

    You need all your HP for slots initially. Unfortunately they changed it so you have to buy them more than one at a time at the stage you're at. Tokens don't expire so you can choose when you open them which is important if your roster is already full.

    In the early 1 star phase then your go to team is Iron Man 35, Modern Black Widow and Modern Storm so you want to concentrate any iso you get on those characters. You have quite a bit of levelling up you can do on them with the covers you already have.

    Polarity's guide is invaluable.
