    Will someone run Spiderman, Venom in order to use Devour??

    I did this a bunch in Combined Arms, still couldn't pull it off. I got up to 5 web tiles a few times but they kept getting popped before I could get out a 6th. Still, not a terrible combo. Good defense and lots of stunning.

    It would be truly choice if it showed a different graphic, but I suspect that just plain isn't the case.

    4 cover snare or 5 cover snare? If devouring 4 is the way to go.

    So what nonstandard teams are people running?

    I'm going with LazyCap, Ares, Venom -- I wanted a team with decent abilities on every color, and all having 13K+ on health. Seems to work fairly well so far -- deny red/green against most other teams, then start getting some stuns in while dishing out massive damage.

    Spidy, OBW, and Juggy.

    I'll be rotating, rotating, rotating. I'll probably run a lot of Patch/Daken/whoever for sustainability, though.

    I'm gonna give Juggs, Hood, OBW a try just for kicks, but will probably abandon it quickly for lack of healthpacks.

    I was thinking that Juggernaut/Deadpool/Colossus might be fun. Basically, this team merges into one giant Juggernaut.

    I already hit the 10 pack, and while I'd like to get T5 for the redflag.pngicon_magneto.png, I plan on fooling around in this one until it's time for the bomb squad ( icon_sentry.pngicon_daken.pngicon_hood.png ).

    I'll likely experiment with things like icon_hood.png xf icon_wolverine.pngicon_daken.png, icon_daken.pngicon_falcon.pngicon_spiderman.png, icon_captainamerica.pngicon_thor.pngicon_blackpanther.png (all big meatbags with hard hitting skills), and just whatever else I feel like. I'm missing a few covers for C icon_magneto.png , a purpleflag.png for icon_nickfury.png, a handful for icon_colossus.pngicon_beast.pngicon_doctoroctopus.png (and of course icon_devildino.png ). But other than that, everyone in the game (aside from some missing 1 & 2 star.png) is fully covered, so I'm just going to try stuff and keep my score somewhat low for a while. This is going to be a blast.

    I will try OBW, Hood, mStorm a few times. Go the intense AP denial/generation + some healing route. Have to work bullseye in somewhere for personal pride too.

    Initially my main team is Juggernaut, Hood, Spider-Man.

    I've tried 553 Dino, 553 X-Force and Spider-Man, and have come to the conclusion that Dino sucks.

    Bullseye belongs in a team with Falcon and Daken icon_e_smile.gif


    Or maybe with Colossus and Hawkeye Classic for quad-crit fun!

    Word. I'll be throwing just about my entire roster at BoP. Should be fun, though likely not extremely win-prone.

    Especially looking forward to running Colossus, Marv, Dino, Shulk, Mororo, and Psy in various arbitrary team comps. Beast & Daredevil might even stretch their legs a bit. icon_lol.gif

    So does this event make anyone else want to have a level one jugg so he heals from dead in like 20 mins

    have you not seen their animations? Beast and Daredevil have stretched their legs and revealed way more than I wanna see. Though I do prefer the constipated yoga pose over crotchshot.

    I have a fully covered lvl 1 Juggy for just this very event. It's magnificent.

    I did my initial climb with Patch, Dakenette, and Bullseye. Very sustainable team. Set up Juggernaut, Black Panther, OBW as my defensive/occasional match team, plus I've used a few other combos. Right now around 340; not enough decent matches to keep going for the time being.

    Need about 430 more points for my ten-pack. That's all I really care about here.

    So yeah....this tourney is difficult to figure out a good climb team. I had a good time with Patch, OBW, and mStorm in CA. Might have to try that again...but I don't think Patch will tank enough colors. Right now having fun mixing and matching super random teams! Just did one with icon_colossus_new.pngicon_daken.png and icon_ragnarok.png. Hahaha..that was a random one for me! Love the Colossal Punch tho.

    I'll put this out there as a Public Service Announcement: an undercovered devil Dino is terrible for your team in this one, especially if you pair him with juggernaut.

    I've seen multiple thor/jug/dino teams - they are awful on defense. I've had cascades go against me, and if the other team had any reasonable partner for jugs I would be picking up my team's headbutted remains. Instead, the dino jumps in with a prehistoric bite that does 600 damage. If you run a dino team, you will be targeted.

    The only red that I'd consider letting interfere with jugg's on D is sentry's, which is like headbutt's big brother.
