    As someone who had to sell all my one stars for roster space for required characters, man do I hate this event now. The only teams worth more than 20 points are all one-stars, and my team gets ran over by match damage. Not a huge deal, since it lets players with bad rosters compete, but really really frustrating.

    Match damage? Um, what teams are you bringing in to fights?

    If you compare the Lazy Characters, the 3*'s have the edge in special move power. Try to focus on specials. And despite their overall devalued nature in the game, defensive protect tiles can help if you are feeling that pressured by the match damage.

    I pushed the last 10 mins for a top 25 with what has to be the best team made for quick matches


    MNMags, ModernHawkeye and cStorm

    WOW! I was boosting blue and purple (all you need for these three) and I have Magnetos purple at 5, Storms blue at 5 and Hawkeye speed shot at 5. If, by luck, you end up getting a second critical during Magnetos Blue cascade, that's around 8 countdown tiles for Speed Shot. That will put to sleep any of the major tanks without difficulty!

    And this is over for europe turn
    congrats to every one
    I finally get an another cover for 4*Thor

    and for the second i'll say nice try (for killing me) it was just bad luck that an nother guy hit you at the sametime you lose against me, we where so close at score.

    God I hate Balance of Power. Luckily, it's not a season event, so I'm just going to abandon it. It's not worth wasting health packs on.

    Here's hoping I tagged a top 25 for the end time coming up in just a little over an hour. Wouldn't have been likely to even try if people hadn't fed me points through the day. Ares/Juggy/OBW held down the fort pretty good today.

    I just don't get how I got some 35 pts def wins tho. I guess if I was one of the higher point teams to hit... but otherwise its hard to imagine someone seeing that team and going, yeah, totally worth me hitting him for 14.

    Sometime you don't have many choices, not all pick gives you 45 points.

    i spend like almost 2.5k iso in total for "pass" the team who gaves me 3-4-5 points, so then when you have the chance to match with 20 pts you take the risk.
    and sometime you lose against lucky cascade gem match (example: ennemy cascading black green and blue when you face icon_blackpanther.png , lazy icon_thor.png and icon_magneto.png it's traumatik xD i can said for had living this)
    that's why i take the tanky team icon_juggernaut.pngicon_hulk.pngicon_sentry.png.

    So for next BoP, guys.

    For climbing, OBW Hood Juggs. (Leave this over night, wake up with +150 to +200 points)

    For hopping, OBW Juggs BP (use all 3 boosts).

    Got to 1k easily, and I barely ever reach that.

    People using 4thor and xforce me me crack up. 4thor just feeds charged reds to juggs and xforce is only impressive against 166s.

    My opponent was obw falcon 2* daken and just got a cascade with so many yellow matches that the single strike tile they had on the board (in the corner, where I couldn't do anything about it ) was over 1000 by the time the cascade finished. Yeesh.

    I just got a Bag-man cover from this event. I won!

    I'm #10, really weird bracket(duh!) and no one's really playing. Hoping for at least top 25...

    Built myself a second icon_juggernaut.png off of cracking about 100 standards (very few golds in there) and that proved to be helpful at the end, as I was planning on playing without shielding.

    Such a swingy event overall. Lots of + victories, my own share of wipes on attack, and ultimately after a period of sitting around 800, came in to -223. Worked back up and finished up at with 975 unshielded and in 7th place. Didn't need the rewards just wanted to see how high I could climb. That was how high apparently. Net of 300 imcoin.png and a nice chunk of iso8.png

    Ran the same team almost exclusively up until the end, star.pngstar.pngstar.pngicon_daken.pngicon_juggernaut.png OBW icon_blackwidow.png - Then when I was out of health packs ran a few fights with icon_hood.png XF icon_wolverine.png and GoT icon_thor.png

    I'm glad when this has rewards I don't need and isn't tied to season scores. I got my final icon_mystique.png cover today to go 3/5/5, so I didn't feel obligated to push to 1100, and just generally enjoyed the brokenness that is Anti-Grav making Headbutt free.

    Free? Are you having a flashback to the times of proper healing?

    If he's already damaged (did one headbutt already or what have you), then using anti-grav makes the next headbutt free since they are essentially equal amounts of health gained/lost at level 270.

    As Mohio said, after the first one, Anti-Grav makes the next one free. Add to that alternating two level 1 fully covered juggs, and the one you just used is usually ready to go again after you use the second one for the next fight.

    I have to give mad respect to TheDirewolf from NJustice League. You gave me a really good run for my money this event and your alliance mates deserve a big hand too for smashing in to me (along with you) every time I broke my shield to hop. Even though you kept me from getting the Fury cover I needed at 1300, I'm not mad because there will be other chances to get him and this was an epic battle.

    Well fought.
