  • Who are you looking to add? At sub 20 roster, the new spots should still be fairly cheap.
  • Keep everything. Add any new 3*. I'd consider Thor to be worthwhile as well, and a 2* HT. Maybe MHawkeye, post-buff.
  • I am looking to add beast when he comes, human torch2 or 3*, black panther and punisher once I get slots for all of them
  • My top priority for slots right now is beast, human torch 2 or 3* and black panther and if I get a nick fury he is going in immediately
  • Greetings, guys!
    Playing MPQ nearly a month and I'm kinda stuck now. No progress and no way to reach it. My curent roster is:

    CStorm lv.70\86 - 5\2\5
    Patch lv.66 - 0\1\3
    MNThor lv.54\62 - 3\4\2
    CHT lv.53 - 1\0\2
    Psylocke lv.45 - 1\1\1
    Punisher lv.43 - 1\1\0
    MNMags lv.40\47 - 1\2\4
    OBW lv.40\46 - 2\3\2
    CDaken lv.40 - 0\0\1
    DrDoom lv.40 - 1\0
    CSpider lv.40 - 0\0\1
    Hulk lv.40 - 1\0\0
    HT lv.39 - 4\1\0
    MBW lv.25\40 - 5\5
    Jugger lv.25\40 - 5\5
    MCapt lv.25 - 1\1\2
    Ares lv.23 - 2\0\1
    DAWDaken lv.15\38 - 2\3 (and no covers from campaign yet)
    AWolvie lv.15\17 - 0\1\1 (and no covers from campaign yet)
    IM35 lv.1\50 - 3\5\5 (too many of his covers was near to expire so i returned him in)

    I've also got one purple Daredevil cover, two black Moonstone and one black Storm Mohawk. All that remains is a 1-star trash.

    I dunno what to really do with this team and how to improve it at all! Versus events are very hard for my roster and I never playing more then a 300points hero token in one run cause it is useless to go further. I even cannot hold enough points to get a 2-star cover from the PVP (<300 rank) and my alliance gives no help.
    Some story modes bringin in new covers for my team, but it is based on luck and how many time I've got. So, I'll highly appreciate any advices on where to go and what to do next, cause this is really bringin pain!

    P.S.: Sorry for interrupting the other topic, I somehow cannot create a new one!

    aelkoa, go read this: Polarity's Guide on Going From 1* to 3*

    Basically what you want to do right now is focus on your 2* characters. Keep collecting covers for them and leveling them. Collect the 3* characters when you can but don't bother leveling them for now. The guide will have tips on who to level, but I'd say OBW, Thor, and probably cStorm (since she's already at a pretty high level for you) would be what to focus on.

    Play as much PvP as you can to collect ISO and more 2* character covers. Don't focus so much on the placement right now; once you have some 2* characters maxed then that will come. It's going to take time so just be patient and hang in there.
  • mags1587, thank You! I've read this guide a couple of times but still don't get it how to get all needed ** covers! What I see that the only way is to play PvP till getting 300 points to have a ** token, but it takes a lot of time (nearly two to three hours of non-stop play) and at some point I am loosing more then achieving being attacked. And when I finally receive a token, I'm opening something such as a Daredevil, Moonstone or Hawkeye. Guess I'm just being out of luck! icon_e_smile.gif

    Yeah, rewards might be out of reach right now (and tokens are never reliable), but the best way to collect 2* covers now is the random drops you get from playing PvP matches. Since it is random, you can go awhile without seeing any 2* covers at all. Eventually your luck will change, though. icon_e_smile.gif Don't forget the lightning rounds, either. Playing a lightning round exactly when it starts will get you a few easy matches against seed teams for about 15 minutes of play.
  • mags1587, I am playing Lightnings just to get a recruit token for 50 points. Further is nearly unreal to pass. Didn't knew that You can get a ** cover just for beating enemy in PvP! Never seen it yet, but sure will hope to be lucky in future! icon_e_smile.gif
  • Hi everyone,
    Been playing for about a week now, just finished up the DP event, wanted to know of my current roster/recruits I should keep or toss.
    Here's what I have-
    7/7 Roster Slots
    -Iron Man Model 35: 2/3/3 Lvl 23
    -Ares ** Lvl 15: Rampage 1
    -Daken ** Lvl 15: Healing and Heat 1
    -Hawkeye (Modern) ** Lvl 15: Eletric Arrow 1
    -Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men) Lvl 15: Healing Factor 1
    -Black Widow (Modern) Lvl 13: 1/4
    -Storm (Modern) Lvl 11: 2/-/3

    6 Recruit Covers Available:
    -Colossus (Classic) Lvl 40: 1 Fastball Special
    -The Punisher (Dark Reign) Lvl 40: 1 Retribution
    -(2)Storm (Classic) Lvl 15: 1 Lightning Storm
    -Wolverine (X-Force) Lvl 70: 1 X-Force
    -Moonstone (Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel) ** Lvl 15: 1 Gravity Warp

    I'm wanting to get more roster slots, but for some reason it jumped from buying individual slots to now the only option is 3 slots for 400 HP. Not sure if it's supposed to do that...?

    From what I see, all the characters you have are needed. Especially in your 2* transition you will use all of these. If I was you I would dump Moonstone for sure and maybe Hawkeye (But not sure about him as I have not played him since the changes. Some say he is very good if matched with specific chars). Also Black Widow could go, but you might want her until you get at least one usefull 2* char to replace her (A usefull 2* is around levels 50+. It is when he overpasses your 1* max level and he becomes stronger than them).

    The slot costs will be like this up to your 24th slot. Costs up to then will vary from 400-600 for 2-3 slots. I don't remember specifically the prices but this is the range. I would recommend you get more slots. If you do not have HP and you don't think you can get it by the time the covers expire, consider pumping in $5 or 10$ for the extra slots. Although don't get used to spending money on the game. Other than roster slots, every other HP expense is pure rip off considering the value you get for it (Except shields but much later in PVP when you can get in top 100 and you have an alliance that does the same. Cause then you get back the HP you spend on shields or at least 70% of it).

    And a last piece of advice. If you have spent HP on ANY other thing than slots, well... do NOT do it again in the future. If you don't want to spend actual money on the game, save HP strictly for slots. After you have 20 slots, you will hopefully have a decent roster to start competing in the top 100 in PVP. Then you can spend a little on shields in order to gain some 3* (But this is another story).

    Notes to F2P new players:
    - Never buy covers with HP
    - Never buy daily discounted tokens or any tokens with HP
    - Never buy Health Packs with HP
    - Use HP only for roster slots and NOTHING ELSE.

    You will understand why in the long run icon_e_biggrin.gif
  • Thankfully I've only spent HP on roster slots so no worries there. Generally with tablet/phone games I only spend money if absolutely needed, otherwise I just do the usual f2p that's available.

    Thanks for the info. Most of the characters I have already I've gathered are pretty decent from reading various threads on here. The main couple of things I'm wondering are:

    -Storm (Modern) vs Storm (Classic). It seems like Storm (M) is generally good at everything she does for low cost, while Storm (C) can do high damage for high AP. Which would be better to keep? I've put some work into Storm (M) and aside from low health she does the job. Storm (C) would start with a 2 in Lightning, but nothing else, which kind of seems like a bad tradeoff.

    -Colossus I'm planning on keeping, Moonstone I was going to sell, but what about Punisher or Wolverine (X-Force)? X-Logan is the first 4 star I've pulled, and reports on him seem all over the place. Punisher on the other hand I've seen very little about, so I was wanting to get more info on him.

    Thoughts?

    MStorm and CStorm are both very good characters. Although CStorm may seem a bit expensive and fragile for what she offers, if you combine her with MNMags you will have a divine combo. I literally walked through the current PVE (All the gauntlets) with Stormneto. All I needed is just some ISO boosts on the last nodes of The Finale.

    So if you are wondering if CStorm is the transition of MStorm, yes she is. As long as you can get hands on MNMags, then you will have some sustainable competitive team. And one of the best in 2* land. Not to mention you will enjoy so much putting down 5 blue with mags creating 1-2 crit strike tiles and then have a full Wind Storm to nuke your opponents. Max level windstorm is a game over in most cases. However, even if you don't have MNMags you can still use CStorm for some games. But her sustainability is very bad, especially if she tanks blue.

    Colossus I have kept for the fun of it and because he is required in the events (At least for now). Not sure what he can actually do because I have not played him unless he was requested.

    Punisher is some tough SOB. He can do some pretty good AOE and put down strike tiles with his black. Red fires a single shot that is devastating (Similar to AWolvie). The third color I don't remember because I don't have it yet, but he is a MUST keep.

    XForce has not much to be said. Of course you should NOT delete his covers. After the patch this guy is just brutal. I've faced him in PVE with high levels and I have to say, if he uses 1 skill, at least one guy is going down instantly. And the yellow skill, let him heal and he is full HP again. If you disrupt his heal you will get tons of damage and you might even die. I think he is probably one of the best in both offense and defense. Definitely worth keeping.
  • So after several missions, including most of the Gauntlet, I have the following:
    -Iron Man Model 35: 5/3/5 Lvl 31
    -Ares ** Lvl 15: Rampage 1
    -Daken ** Lvl 15: Healing and Heat 1
    -Hawkeye (Modern) ** Lvl 15: Eletric Arrow 1
    -Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men) Lvl 15: Healing Factor 1
    -Black Widow (Modern) Lvl 20: 2/4
    -Storm (Modern) Lvl 26: 4/1/4
    -Colossus (Classic) Lvl 40: 1 Fastball Special
    -The Punisher (Dark Reign) Lvl 40: 1 Retribution
    -Storm (Classic) Lvl 15: 1 Wind Storm
    -Wolverine (X-Force) Lvl 70: 1 X-Force
    -Thor (Marvel NOW!) Lvl 17 1/-/1
    -Magneto (Marvel NOW!) Lvl 17 -/1/1

    Punisher is a beast! I've been using him on teams since I saw what his Red does. I've tried the MNMags/CStorm and I think I need to get them up higher to get the combos you're talking about. They're great, as well as XWolverine, but they're not quite there yet.

    I'm coming up on the end of The Gauntlet like I mentioned earlier, and it looks like I'll be getting Black Panther. Considering he's one I've had problems with in this event, if I were to swap him for someone out of say MStorm, MWidow or MHawkeye, who would it be? Or is he worth getting?
    EDIT:Also Human Torch (Classic) looks like a possible pick-up as well, Thoughts?

    Black Panther is worth getting, however, you won't be able to get him from the Gauntlet. There's one essential node in Heroes that requires Black Panther so unless you already have him in your roster, you won't be able to get the points needed to get the cover.
  • I've tried the MNMags/CStorm and I think I need to get them up higher to get the combos you're talking about. They're great, as well as XWolverine, but they're not quite there yet.

    Yes, you need 4-5 covers in Wind Storm and 4-5 covers in Purple Mags. If not maxed these two abilities can work, but they are not as fast and they are still vulnerable. At max covers you are guaranteed 99% that if you use Mags purple you will have a full Wind Storm waiting for you. Mags purple power need 3 purple matches to get going. So you can most probably end the game in 4-5 turns for easier games. Or you can get the upper hand as with the cascades and the 4 turn stun from Wind Storm you will generate much AP to make these two skills run in a loop until it's game over.

    BP is out of reach because you need to have BP in your roster to be able to finish the essential node to get him (I missed him too because of this).

    With your roster, I would try to go as high as I can. You don't really have a solid combo that will take you higher. Just keep trying the nodes with w/e you can to beat them. Farm the Second Gauntlet up until you get the HP, if you can. Then, since you don't have BP on you, go to the Finale and try to clear as many nodes as you can. HT is reachable, but you might feel a bit intimidated from the enemies you face. Just try them icon_e_smile.gif
