    Scaling between the * are not the same. This isn't balance. This is flipping the script.

    The idea is that 270 is the normal 4* max, so they have scaled ALL characters to a 270 max, based off the percentage of levels used.

    About 6850 damage.

    Of all the 'experimental' types of games they could have run, they've picked an incredibly lame one. But hey, it's friendly to new players, so it seems to be in line with the current strategy for MPQ.

    I'm glad I don't need Psylocke. I'll put in a token effort for my alliance and that's it.

    He's saying that because 1*'s were designed to stop at level 50, they scale differently when taking them to 270 than 2* or 3* characters.

    For example, in this tourney:
    Juggernaut: 21920 health
    Hulk: 18445 health

    I must say I giggled like a schoolgirl when my first action was to Juggernaut headbutt Nick Fury into the next dimension.

    It's "experimental" in that this is basically a test environment to see how viable each hero is when sufficiently powered up.


    Bullseye sucks at level 79. Level 270 though? Pair him with TinyDaken and things get interesting.

    Yeah it seems like they just gave everyone levels without changing scaling, so 1* and 2* scale better (eg my obw has better match dmg that LThor).

    However I really like this tourney since it is FINALLY a change of pace from the featured + 2 character pvps. And we can experiment with different teams, since 2* and 1*s got a bigger buff than 3*s.

    For instance 1* hawkeye can be taken as a crit tile specialist without fear of his lackluster stats icon_e_wink.gif

    2* Wolvie, TinyDaken, and Modern Storm is definitely viable, as Storm is completely covered by those two if in the third slot.

    Time to see how viable a run through the jungle is with Modern Storm and OBW.

    I'd need to check again, but I think the main difference is that She-Hulk is included here while she isn't in Heroic tokens yet as far as I know.

    Yes but cheaper and more expensive at the same time.

    My 244 5/4 venom has 14k health, stuns for four purple, and deals 4650 single target for 12 black.

    Definitely nasty, but I'm still not 100% sure about running him. If I did, it would mainly be for rainbow coverage and building team "You will never actually finish killing us".

    I wish I hadn't dropped all my maxed 1* covers to create space for 3*covers...

    I think this event will be fun and crazy. A nice change of pace from the norm. Kudos to the devs for actually trying something different.

    Now to try and figure out the team combos! This will be interesting!
