    Nice! I only need the one yellow cover to respec my Falcon to 5/5/3, so that should be pretty easy.

    Question is, who do I run in the Top Gun event? I used to go with Patchneto,but that won't work nearly as well anymore. Maybe I'll try Patch and Psylocke, seeing as how I just got her cover maxed after pulling a red from a Simulator token.
    That's if they even do a Top Gun event. Last time they ran Falcon, they did not do it surprisingly. >.> I think that was the first time we had Balance of Power as well.

    Yeah, I'm basically crossing my fingers and hoping they won't skip Falcon twice in one season. I always enjoy his event, so it would be kind of a bummer if we didn't get one. What did the poor guy do to deserve that kind of shabby treatment anyhow? icon_razz.gif

    He kicked Capt. America out on the street and took his costume.

    LDaken and a green nuke works well with Falcon as Falcon yellow significantly boosts Daken's strike tiles. Also Sentry hopping will be extreme as Sentry will have no need for his strike tiles with Daken and Falcon on the board.

    Falcon + Daken + Thor is the best team early on, no question. You want a strong yellow user to take advantage of all those Inspiration matches.

    After a certain point, you'll eventually need to swap Thor out for Sentry. Throw in Hood for Daken if that's your thing.

    And welcome to why they skip Falcon.

    Sentry+Hood+featured? What a unique concept!

    No.

    Anyone else noticing that when you use Trickery against AI Magneto's Coercive Field, it only changes three or four of his shields to friendly strike tiles. But when the AI uses Trickery against your Magneto's Coercive Field, it changes them all?

    Some people noticed last time with Loki versus Falcon, it appears the bug still lives on in R60:

    It'd be nice to get a Falcon cover, but I have to use the loaner since I've never cared to add a spot on my roster for Loki and all I see in my que are 166's. So it might be a rough road.

    If you also have 166s you'll be fine. I have a fully covered Loki who's still lvl 40 and have done well each time his event comes up. I wouldn't worry too much, people will ignore what level Loki is, and I wouldn't be surprised to see people using the loaner anyway just to save health packs

    I got a 153 Hulk and a 140 Punisher. They don't seem to pair well with a 1 cover Loki and so I'm guess I'm just not very optimistic when I see a 166 Patch or 150 LCap show up in my que. Especially if they have more then the loaner.

    At 450 I'm 70 in my bracket so if I hang in there I might be able to sneak out with a cover.

    Sadly, my Hood and Lazy Daken don't have enough covers to be usable yet. But I do have a maxed Lazy Thor and a capped 4/5/2 Sentry, so I may try running them with my ** Daken. With Falcon boosting the strike tiles it should still work pretty well.

    Not for nothing but there should be a separate tournament for based on players rosters.

    apparently i've underestimated loki. or at least loki combined with the ai's seemingly recent penchant for ridiculous cascades. so i was in the mid 800s sitting at #3, ready to push to 900 with full health packs and in tow. i use a max patch and panther and occasionally swap patch with sentry. anyways, 3 matches later, 3 losses in a row, my heavy hitters all wiped and no more health packs. i went up against all unmaxed teams that i should have no problem defeating. but my mistake was underestimating fully covered, though nonmaxed lokis. or more specifically, his purple ability at 5 cost combined with the cascade-mad ai. the ai has really abusing loki's purple against me to match multiple match 4s and 5s. cascade. more purples and extra turn. cascade. more purples. illusions again. again. and again. i'm gonna start keeping loki covers now instead of selling them like i've done in the past

    I'm using my 4/5 loki at lvl 93 and I can assure you loki is useless unless is the AI who uses it. I've been doing illusions (lokis my only char that uses purple on this event) non stop and I hardly ever get a cascade or an extra attack, when I'm lucky I get a 3-4 match, and I'm usually happy with that. My first focus is always loki, no matter what other characters I'm against I kill loki first.

    This morning I was against a magneto+patchy+loki (at 60), I ignored loki to kill magneto trying to deny magnetos colors. I was obliterated by insane illusion cascades -_-'

    Agree w/above. Never seem to get the cascades from Loki the AI gets. Although I do notice that I'd have a bunch of match 5/6/7''s if he would stop, but they keep shifting once or twice more and I get a match 3 at best.

    Another post confirming the insane Loki illusions cascading. I've played enough matches where Loki banks enough purple from a cascade to perform illusions the next four turns in a row, each generating more cascades then not. I don't know how many more times I can watch the drawn out illusions animation before I snap.

    I went to ge ta couple plays in and got killed twice by hood Sentry. Now I am not complaing becuase it is Hood and Sentry, i knew what I was getting into i am complaining becuase my Android phone sucks big time. I came back and won 2 matches and then my phone starting shutting down the app. I could not get MPQ to start for 1/2 hour and I got attacked twice in that time becuase I could not shield. SO I lost 4 health packs, and broke my shield for just a couple of points icon_mad.gif I really now hate my android phone
