And what is generally the best strategies you've found for these guys before they hit max levels? My mags is at 0/2/2 and my Rags will soon be at 3/2 (When i get the daily reward in a week or so). Just curious whether i should start trying to use either. I was thinking i might be able to use rags a little to feed GSBW since i have all her covers.

For rags 4 ap reds is really the inflection point, and 3 is where he is the destroyer of worlds (honestly he should probably max out at 3 ap casts). For mags, the 6 ap blue is huge, since it lets you get it off right away with boosts

Bingo, And not an answer to the original question but I just want to put it here for those who don't know: With no buff Mags purple does 8268 damage at max level with 13 blue tiles on the board.

the moose wrote: So Mags is good for a huge chunk of damage on one enemy? Probably downing them in 1st or 2nd turn with boosts. Good for taking out a boosted Rags before he can do anything. Then you have to build up the purple ap again, Right? Rags can deal lots of little damage and get green matches/cascades to fuel green for someone else(GSBW) who can then hopefully end the game. Right? So a max rags builds up 10 red ap or something and then its unleash Thundercalp over and over until you have enough green for GSBW to end it all. Is that the general strategy to this guy?

Magneto is strong, but not broken. Killing in one shot in the first turn is way too powerful and breaks the game. Ideally you stunlock the opponent with a high level Spiderman (I do not have one) as you gather purple tiles.

Good thing you couldn't use blue to create 4 and 5 matches, scooping up purple in the process... I've said too much.

Other than lightning rounds - he is only in the heroic covers, right? Thanks for all the help! He's in the standard covers too. But best chance is a top 25 finish in Mags' LR. After that a Diabolical token (won or bought), heroic, and finally standard.

Mine is 1/1/2 right now.
the moose wrote: I've gotten 2 from just standard tokens. So the formula for that is patience and beating the odds. But if you can't hit top scores in Mag lightning rounds, play the Loki and Hood rounds and aim for the diabolical token. They are much less contested than the other 3 rounds. You have decent odds of getting Rag or Mags, which will help you compete in the tournament for real eventually. Slow process but in the last week ive tried this with only a 2-3 rounds a week and my rag is now 2/2 (from 0/0)
