    PVP isn't for favorite characters; it's supposed to be a grim, joyless slog using the same six people everyone else is using.

    I don't like lazy Thor, myself. None of my favourite characters is buffed this event sans Spidey (ugh). But the false god is the star once again. I can play my little quirky teams in PvE/Shield simulator if I want to icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Out of curiosity, who is your fave char?

    I like my Lcap; he has been my pillar for pve when I was in transition, but when I'm in pvp 3* land, he has been fairly useless...

    So I was quite happy when I could dust off my lcap for this pvp, acting as the perfect hulk buster. icon_e_smile.gif

    Well at least for this pvp it's 6 people. In most other pvp, it has only been sentry, sentry and sentry. This pvp has been way more fun for me.

    In case it's not obvious, OTERSEY does not speak for Ace of Blades. We love women and fat men if all nationalities/immortalities.

    In case it's not obvious, OTERSEY speak about his preferences in roster of game characters. If someone start look racism in what I don't like any skills of any Storms, then I have very bad new for these persons, lol. icon_lol.gif

    it depends on what I need:

    Top25 — any
    Top10 — 1
    Top5 — 2
    1300 reward — maximum 4

    I end S5 with 14718 points: 11th in overal bracket, 1st in my alliance

    And if I wanted, I may collect points and for top5

    For you — maybe. For me — already not. If my favorite characters buffed or I may create competitive combo from them — I don't see any reasons, why I must don't use them.

    Maybe I missed this question being asked earlier but, why does the buff to level 94 2*s only take them to 187 when everyone else's buff seems to be a strict 2x?

    Because technically they are only level 93.5.

    I'm gonna go with because their "true" level is actually 93.5 but decimals freak ppl out so they rounded it up? icon_e_wink.gif

    My favourite Marvel characters that are in MPQ are Magneto, Spider-Man, Storm, Human Torch, Loki and the Hood (that last one happened entirely thanks to MPQ).
    My favourite characters in the mechanics sense are oBW, classic Magneto, especially the old one, but hey, the new one is also decent, the Hood (I love playing any 2 of these 3 together and now Magneto/oBW don't even overlap as much, and his blue is a nice offensive alternative), characters that can place/overwrite tiles such as classic Hawkeye, Magneto MN, for example, but obviously those aren't very competitive in PvP.

    I like LC on offense, but since I can already field 2 big AoE nukes in 2 different colours and can use Marvel's cheaper stun... Not much reason to run LC unless he's subbing for someone.

    Do you tank a lot, OTERSEY?

    Nope. Plus I learned what is tanking not so long, lol. In middle of S3.
  • Running LT, Hulk, and Fury. Fury my most underlevelled but needed active bluetile.png / purpletile.png so pumped some ISO into him. If it was the dev's secret plan with this event to get us to spend our iso8.png hoards on the rest of our roster , they just may have succeeded.

    Oh, and I finally got the experience the wrath of a icon_nickfury.png one-two Demolition/Escape Plan taking out my Hulk for over 18,000 HP in one turn. icon_eek.gif Still won the fight, but it was def crazy to watch and will definitely be hunting for more Fury covers ASAP. Not sure if the 1,300 this event is attainable with slower battle times/shield hopping exposure, but I'll be going for greenflag.png XF (1st) so may end up hitting 1,300 in that quest anyways.

    My Fury/XForce/Thor team got killed by Spidey/Hulk icon_redface.gif . I made the mistake of not killing Spidey when I got him down to 500 health. Suddenly, he and Hulk had a lot of health again.

    LCap is my favorite guy. 7000 point shield toss. I haven't lost yet with Cap. My other teams have been less successful.

    What is the point threshold where your mmr no longer matters? I'm at 841 and can only find targets in the low 20s
  • I've been running maxed icon_blackpanther.pngicon_falcon.pngicon_thor.png (BP got that final 27k ISO for this event), and it's been slow, but a blast. Falcon doesn't do a ton, but eating a spidey protect tile, or sometimes spitting out his own, or boosting a BP protect/strike is nice. Rainbow coverage for match damage, blacktile.pnggreentile.png AOE nukes, 2 heavy damage skills in redtile.pngyellowtile.png , and marginal bluetile.pngpurpletile.png skills which can at least allow the bigger skills time to gather AP if you've gotten a bad board.

    Didn't go very high yet but I've only been hit twice, both for wins. Since I just need icon_storm.pngblackflag.png , this is a joy.

    Can't envision we'll see a ton of icon_hood.pngicon_sentry.pngicon_daken.png teams since a 20k icon_thor.png is a lot of meat to eat.

    Fun so far.
  • My main team: icon_shehulk.pngicon_caroldanvers.pngicon_blackpanther.png
    sidekicks: icon_spiderman.pngicon_thor.pngicon_blackwidow.png or icon_ironman.pngicon_hulk.pngicon_captainamerica.png (but I use all of them only few times — main team really rocks)

    Is it just me, or does Black Panther have the coolest icon?
  • Got my 1300 and I'm shielded 24 hours. So if any of you sniping jerks have me, rest assured you can't take my points. Will accept donations however icon_e_smile.gif

    As one of the aforementioned 'sniping jerks', I care. icon_evil.gif
  • So far holding strong with this team:
    166 icon_hulk.png, 146 icon_blackwidow.png GS, 146 icon_spiderman.png

    Suprised my self by getting and holding #1 early last night.

    The greenflag.pngicon_wolverine.png x-Force will be mine, for a full set icon_razz.gif
  • Ive been using 280Lthor/260hulk/187mhawk. Only max lvl I have so far is rags. icon_e_sad.gif

    Between 5cover anger and 3cover (need more yellow Lthor rewards mpq) I usually get at least one speedshot per match if not multiples and a 5cover cots ends it. Have had several defensive wins so far.
