Which cover had gotten you out of tight situations?

Every1 knows about them crazy cascades and those tough spots even the top players can occasionally get in. Who has been your saving grace in MPQ?

For me it's been Storm C. I have her as a 5/3/5 (3 blue) my fav team is rag Thor storm C though I mix it up quite often especially in Pve. Those times when I take Thor and rag in 50% health and the cascades take em out, storm C with her 5 yellow is always there to save the day. Her increased damage when all 3 team members are below 50% has many times taken out an entire team of enemy baddies in 1-2 turns.

Which is your favorite covers to get you out of a sticky situation and why?

  • Great question. My vote is for Spidey. Even if I don't have enough blue for a full-on stunlock, a well placed stun has bought me the time I needed to get back in a match more times than I can count. I can't imagine a team I'd field that wouldn't have room on it for Spidey.
  • BWGS purple ability and being able to make 5match extra turn crit tiles have helped multiple times.
  • Modern Black Widows stun has saved me more times than I can count...
  • Wolverine. Heals + strike tiles = slow and steady win as long as I can absorb the special attacks. If I ever pull a yellow Spidey cover, he'll be a big help.
  • Have to go with Spidey as well. Stuns and heals? Thank you. I've even had him knocked down to under 100 health, my other two characters at half health, and finished the match with all three at full health.

    I've only managed to get Classic Storm's <50% damage once, and her yellow is only at 3, but she made the AI really regret that Ballistic Salvo. A triple-shot of >700 damage to all three enemies evened things up very nicely.

    I've also had a couple of times that Captain America pulled off repeated blue strikes with his carefully placed countdown tiles to run out a *long* battle as the sole survivor. I wish I'd leveled his red to 5 instead of yellow before I knew better. I almost never get to the 19 AP that skill needs before using it on someone else's power instead or just ending the match in the unlikely event he has the only yellow ability.

    But overall? 2* Wolverine and Thor are my go-to guys.
  • Spidey for me as well. Stun....wait a few turns while they're stunned to do some damage and AP gathering, stun again, heal up...rinse and repeat.

    The same thing with my cap. He's red 4 yellow 4 and I really wished he had been red 5 yellow 3.

    If I can get past 1 blue cover, Spidey might join my top ranks. For now, he's still "only when buffed" or "3* only" material.
  • Spidey for sure.
    Rag's both skills have saved me multiple times as well, for creating cascades and eliminating countdowns.
  • 2 star wolverine.Im loving him so much.I only have him at level 40, but he really pulled through, sometimes even being the last one standing to finish the fight.I just finished my fourth battle against lvl 80 hammer soldiers for the Hulk event (bolivia or something), and I can even battle up to lvl 60 villain due to his boost. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Hopefully I can keep my rank for heroic recruits + isos.
