loki and hood, how do you guys think which is most annoying hero as opponent?

And sell hood(86k & 1500HP) for leveling up loki.

I know It sounds like a madness but he is so easy to be eleminated by XF(in 2 or 3 turns) in PvP

I rarely use his yellow and I don't think he is no longer good supporter in new pve mode.

Do you guys think this is a good choice ? I don't want to buy ISO.

about 90k left to max loki. I usually pair loki with XF or LadyThor

    No. Do not sell Hood. Hood is awesome.


    You're right, Hood is pretty easy for XF to take out on defense. But he ramps up your offense so quickly.
    And I've gotten his yellow off quite often as a finisher just by incidental yellow collection. It seems like that would only be easier if you're running him with 4Thor.
  • Please please sell your Hood. **** your roster for a couple of months to remove yourself from competition. Iso is so hard to come by! It's not like you can earn up to 100-150k Iso in every week's Lightning Rounds, after all.

    Uh...no.

    There are others you can sell off if you want to level Loki quick. Hood's just not one of them. I admit that Loki does command a little more respect than before with the revision, but he's still not in the same tier of characters that Hood is.

    Don't sell Hood. He's still the only reliable counter to himself. Loki is someone you should keep now but definitely don't get rid of Hood.

    If you need to earn ISO, hit the seed teams in the lightning rounds. (See Colog's guide in this forum.)

    You should under no cirumstance sell any hero provided that you have the roster slots available to keep all of them. Never know when you might need them for a featured PvP or PvE.
  • I've decided to not to sell him. Thanks everyone.

    And just to add to the reasons for not selling hood, leveling loki isn't necessary at all. He is a supporting character and his skills do not get better with extra levels, only with extra covers. Once he s optimally built (5/3/5 I think), he should be left below level max so he never tanks any colors. He only needs enough health to survive the odd aoe attack.

    Also, hood is awesome, good choice not selling him. If I had managed to get a blue hood cover, I would seriously consider buying it up to 5 covers immediately. AP steal from any/all colors is that powerful.

    Seconded. I made the mistake of bringing Loki up to 140, which made it impossible to use my favorite trick of hiding him behind Hulk and Patch since he now tanks Black for Hulk and Captain Marvel. He has 5000 HP at that level, so I don't see much reason bringing him past 130-135 or so.
