Hi All
There is a comprehensive list of teams by yogi here: http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17105 But I wrote the below for my alliance, and when I recently posted about Blade, a lot of peeps said that they liked the explanation as to why the team works and a bit on the strategy for it, so thought I would share this. I'm happy to add to it, if it helps people out. I have added this first part here so that you can copy and paste and add a team that you know of that might help people decide which road to spend their Iso on. GL all, see you in game.
Team:
Why it's good
Why it's bad:
Tips:
2 Star
Team: Ares/ OBW/ Daken
Why it's good almost rainbow, OBW fuels and heals Ares.
Why it's bad: kind of long matches
Tips: can use OBW heal before sunder for true heal on Ares.
Team: Wolverine/ Daken/ OBW
Why it's good continuous push
Why it's bad: Limited damage, games take a long time
Tips: Don't be scared to start a fight with Wolverine on low health, the third character is for flavour, you can try different combos.
Team: Magneto/ Hawkeye/ Storm
Why it's good Magneto makes blue 5 matches, Hawkeye's passive makes massive damage off those 5 matches. Use the Blue to fuel storm.
Why it's bad: You can't sustain push for long.
Tips: Don't forget L shape 5 matches.
3 Star
Team: Sentry/ Daken/ Hood
Why it's good Fast wins, is probably still the highest you can shield hop with a 3 star team.
Why it's bad: Self damage means no sustain push, you probably get 2 matches before you need to shield.
Tips: You need to use boosts. Use sacrifice the turn before World rupture goes off or the AI will match it away and you lose. You need to gauge how long the first match went on before entering second or third, too long and you will get sniped/ retaliated.
Team: Sentry/ Daken/ Blade
Why it's good as above, also good against above as blades black will steal their green, more rainbow than above.
Why it's bad: Self damage means no sustain push, if they have hood you need to go with hood or get outraced.
Tips: As above, after green/ yellow prioritize black for blade.
Team: Magneto/ Daken/ Falcon
Why it's good Falcon increases Daken's strikes and 2 X defence tiles, making heaps of match damage and defence,
Why it's bad: No green user can really hurt
Tips: get 5 blue early so falcons passive starts working, remember to keep 5 blue in the tank till the end if they have any special tile generator.
Team: Lazy Cap/ Hood/ OBW
Why it's good PVE, the two AP generators power up Lcap, Cap can overwrite countdowns, OBW increases countdowns, one pf the best PVE teams versus goons.
Why it's bad: Can take time to wind up Caps red.
Tips: Use caps red and blue to overwrite those hard to get to tiles.
Team: Thor/ Daken/ GSBW
Why it's good 3 X green generators & Dakens passive off green = loads of strikes and damage, green generates off: green, blue, yellow and purple!
Why it's bad: Thor and GSBW clear all your strikes off
Tips: GSBW is kinda flimsy try to keep her at the back.
Team: Patch/ Daken/ BP
Why it's good sustain push, 3 strike tile generation
Why it's bad: Really hard to deal with Hulk or retaliate characters
Tips: berserkers into rage of the panther wins most 3 star games, learn when to put patch strikes down, too early will lose, right timing will be super fast win, wait for a couple of purple matches on the board so you can easily deal with the purple strikes that berserkers generates. Really good transition team, you will get good value for money as you can get a lot of wins without health packs, later in 3 star land this doesn't have enough firepower. Patch/ Daken are the best for early lightning rounds too.
Team: Spidey/ OBW/ Hood
Why it's good Defensive wins, Shield hoppers will skip, double AP steal, Double heal, board clear and passive defence tiles are too much of a headache.
Why it's bad: crazy slow, if one character dies you will lose. As a group it is very strong, as any two you just have squishy bait.
Tips: Focus purple/ blue early to get OBW working, once you get off one Aggressive recon your chances of winning go way up. This is a really unusual team that shouldn't work but seems to.
Team: She Hulk/ OBW/ Hood
Why it's good Similar to spidey/ hood/ OBW but a little more offence and less defence, 3 X AP deny, 2 AP generator, 2 Heal, 1 big AOE damage
Why it's bad: really slow, if one character dies you will lose.
Tips: focus red and purple for damage and aggressive recon.
Team: Hulk/ Capt marvel/ 2 Star Storm (Daken is a good option too)
Why it's good Avoid Sentry bomb/ defence, retaliate on anyone you attack.
Why it's bad: too slow to be an effective attack, an unfavourable board will slow you way down.
Tips: Really only used if you can't afford shields, this is basically only saying to your opponent, yes you can beat me but the price is 3 health packs. But you will get defensive wins.
Team: Patch/ Daken/ Blade
Why it's good All those strikes, really good early PVP push or PVE, Blade hides at the back
Why it's bad: not good on defence, lacking in big damage or AOE. Really bad versus retaliate characters like Hulk,
Tips: Try to focus black and purple for blade, I've had blades purple rocking out 4K damage a turn.
Team: Thor3/ Daken/ Blade
Why it's good Rainbow, loads of synergy, 2 green generators, 3 if their strongest color is Green, This is a strong synergy team
Why it's bad: Like all 3 star teams the 4 stars will eat you.
Tips: Put Daken middle, thor left, Blade right at start. Try to ignore red, its good for blade and your weakest damage.
Patch
5 
3 
5 middle
Thor4 5 5 
3 Left, I think I built this wrong as 5 into 5 is crazy amounts of damage but for this team it is the correct build
Loki
5 
3 5 Right. honestly there is no other build with Loki, as a side note Loki is unique in that he is just as good at 40 with max cover as 166 (except health)
Pros: team synergy is crazy. You could substitute Thor4 for Cap and be nearly as good.
- Rainbow Team, actives on all abilities.
-Deliberately leave all 4 match on the board, you have rainbow, Loki's green is 8AP, I had 3 of these in one turn = 24 free AP in one turn, who needs hood!
-We all know that Patch green then Loki black is a game winner, but Thor4 built with 5 is nearly as good, changing 5/6 purple strikes to power tiles.
- the strategy is basically get all your black and Thor's colors early when there is little damage flying around, (if you use three each of the iso boosts this will cost you nothing and almost guarantee your win). Once you have
and all of Thor's abilities you win. Their team size, make up etc is basically irrelevant, It's like Magic the Gathering Control deck. You take control and they have no options. Stun hulk, unleash Berserkers into Trickery, followed by Thors Yellow then Red you are thumping out 5K to each opponent and up to 10K to the primary target. That's a goodbye Hulk level 300+.
-Thor4's yellow changes up to 5 goon countdowns to power up tiles.
Downside: not good against goon only teams as Loki's green doesn't work. Substitute Hood, for nearly as good times. (another great team is Thor4/ Loki/ Hood) for mega AP gains and Thor4 wins.
Anyway it is crazy good, go try it out.
4 Star
Team: Xforce/ Hood/ Deadpool
Why it's good hood powers Xforce and Deadpool protects hood, loads of fast damage, Xforce tanks for hood
Why it's bad: Xforce costs loads of iso to level up
Tips: With Deadpool you need to make an early decision if you are going for whales, keep Deadpools health higher than hood.
Team: Xforce/ Daken/ Deadpool,
Why it's good rainbow, 3 true heal, loads of damage, Deadpool needs to be focused before Xforce which gives the old knucklehead time to wake up, have his coffee and do what he does best. Which aint pretty.
Why it's bad: umm...
Tips: You don't need tips on this do you?
Team: Thor4/ Patch/ Blade (maybe the new loki instead?)
Why it's good Rainbow, Thor's yellow kills Patches purple strike tiles, Thor's stun lets you bash away with Patches strikes if they are down to one character. You can stun hulk before unleashing the dogs of war on him etc.
Why it's bad: Relies on combos to be really effective, which can stall.
Tips: Don't use Thor's red until you have Power tiles on the board or it is wasted. Don't use Berserkers unless you have Thors yellow to follow up, or a really favourable board. Blade is really squishy to be messing with 4 stars, you will probably get retaliates. If you use Loki in stead of blade you have two ways to get rid of patches purple strikes.
Team: Xforce/ Nick Fury/ Magneto
Why it's good Rainbow of fast cheap powers, good board shake to help generate AP
Why it's bad: No real tank, no sustain like strikes,
Tips:
