Best 2* teams for Deadpool Third Time's the Charm

tonypq

Hey all,

I haven't been completed the DD daily Third Times the Charm due to being a bit intimidated by the 3 star teams, and not knowing which of my 2 stars to use for my best shot. I am sick of leaving all that ISO on the table every day, so I'm hoping to get some advice which team to use.

For my 2*s the highest are Daken 94, Storm 80, OBW 80, Thor 60, Magneto 56, Captain 57, Ares 54, Wolverine 52, Captain Marvel 45, Moonstone 40, Hawkeye 47, Bullseye 19.

I had thought about Daken, then maybe Ares for high damage green which I'd match anyways for Daken striked tiles and Ares red to attack whole team, the yellow packs a punch also. I wasn't sure who to add as a 3rd character.

Then I thought maybe I should aim for team damage and go Ares for red, Storm blue, Thor green, or Captain Marvel black, and hope to just cut through the 3* team asap.

Who would you guys suggest I use or what strategy should I go with for Third Times the Charm ?

Thanks for any replies!

I'm using OBW 94 , Thor 94 and Blade 80 only for his black ap steal. Just try to get as much ap as possible in goons nodes and do your end move with thor or 5 match, that will get u first move in next wave. By this time you should be able to nuke all heroes with Thor, same goes for wave 3 and 4. People say Cap is cool to, but I dont have him, so I dont know. Hope it helps
EDIT: nevermind, as for that node I think u need a little higher lvl heroes than enemy's, cause 3* chars are same power as maxed 2* only when they are above 100 lvl afaik

I'm only talking about the Third Time is the Charm node, where you can only use your 1&2 star characters. Curious what 1&2* teams you guys think would work best or has worked for some of you.

No doubt: OBW & *Ares + Daken.

*depends on the covers, Thor or A.Wolve can also do it.

You need to level your Black Widow and Ares up, RIGHT AWAY. lol. They will save you. Maybe not in this particular section of the game, but in general.

DO NOT level CapA, CapM, Moonstone, or Bullseye anymore. Ever. Unless you're rich.

The rest are all up for debate, but Mags and Roro and Hawk are getting nerfed, soon.

I always run that one with OBW, Thor, and Hawkguy, although I can definitely see the case for Ares as well, he is definitely a solid choice. Granted all of mine are at 94 so my numbers are a bit different. A lucky starting board can get speed shots out, which isn't something to rely on but it is nice when it comes up. Depending on the red, yellow, and green situation of the board, I sometimes favor using blast arrow over Mjolnir since it does team damage with only a 2 turn countdown (5 cover), if yours has less than 3 red covers, blast arrow is a 4 turn countdown, which doesn't seem worth the 9 AP when you can bring the hammer down with only 8 AP using Thor. Aiming for yellow matches and/or stealing it with OBW and using thunder strike generally gets a crit match that'll trigger a speed shot. At that point you'll probably have enough green to call the storm, target the enemy with the highest health ( to maximize damage), or target whomever you see as the biggest threat (based on abilities and enemy AP stock).
Given your team, Daken is probably a better bet over Hawkeye, but he may be worth a shot, after leveling your big hitters and OBW first. This is just what works for me. I a bit biased because really liked the comic series that modern Hawkeye comes from, hence my use of him over statistically better characters and calling him "Hawkguy", along with not having a 2* Daken. Good luck, hopefully you'll find a team that works for you.

Does your OBW have at least 4 covers in Black? The added damage stacks with strike tiles, so her and Daken combo really well. They don't make that very clear in the description, but she can regularly deal 800+ damage with a single match.

The 3 stars are only good if they can get abilities off. So keeping OBW stealing their AP while doing a ton of damage is really useful. If you keep her purple at only 3 covers, she can steal after 2 matches b/c it costs 8AP and she can steal one purple each match if the enemy already has some.

For the RGY character... ares or wolverine are both great. Wolvie puts down more strike tiles for OBW's black which is nice, but Ares has the yellow ability that can down an enemy immediately.

I always run OBW/AWolvie/Storm as my 2* team and never have an issue.

Since your Wolvie is under leveled, I could see replacing him with Daken for strike tiles to feed OBW's black (if you have 5 covers in it).

I agree with OBW, Ares, Daken with your roster.

For the 3rd node, I generally use one of
Wolverine + Daken + MNMags/MStorm,
OBW + Ares + Torch/Daken,
CStorm+MNMags+Ares
depending on who the opponents are. Will probably use more of the first combo once MNMags change comes in.

I usually use Ares, OBW and Classic Storm for those nodes, but my 2* Daken is only level 50-something and I don't see much need to level him. Really, the formula should be OBW + whatever red/green/yellow user you prefer + someone who rounds out the team nicely. Ares, Thor and Wolvie all work well. Same thing for Daken, Storm and Human Torch...

Unknown

I've used Ares/OBW/CStorm for the 2nd and third nodes just about every time and they work very well. With Ares/OBW, you've got all colors covered, and I could see using someone else in place of CStorm (Daken, for example, or even someone like Human Torch or Ms. Marvel to give you an active black power).

For the 2 star portions of Daily Deadpool my team of choice is Ares/OBW/Dakken.

Ares powers are fast, and with Dakken's strike tiles I can do a lot of damage with his red, and in the 2 star survival I can almost always kill the one non-goon with a single green hit

OBW's espionage works with Dakken's strikes, making her blue/purple matches do extra damage, to again increase speed.

Then worst case if I need another quick attack, I can use Dakken's blue, but most of the time I want the strike tiles to stay out.

Unknown

I use 2* Magneto, Wolverine and Thor, I just hoard ap and make sure and use my powerups to finish rounds so I always get 1st attack. In most cases I have enough saved up going into the last round where the opponent wont even get one turn.

Everyone's covered the roster questions. I just want to add that if you're reaching for a big prize (which for me, at the moment, is the 3* cover and completing the whole sub for the 2000 iso bonus), consider spending your stronger team-ups and boosts. They're replaceable and worth spending on things that will benefit your team in the long run.

Long-time lurker (well.. 30'ish days maybe), first-time poster. Hi all!

I'm 120 days into the game and have an effectively complete 2* roster. I run the DDQ with (left to right) 2* OBW, Thor, CStorm. That way OBW tanks the blue for CStorm, meaning 4 AP on a match instead of 3. All optimal builds (3/5/5, 3/5/5, 5/5/3), all level 94. It's almost a breeze some days, because you have so many abilities fueling AP:

Fuels everybody, and denies enemy AP.
Fuels his yellow, albeit minor.
Fuels his or Storm's green.
Fuels everybody.

Then you have for bursts of health and to delay enemy CD, or to wipe out the enemies. is just a finisher if you really need it.

It's a blast playing this team in the Big Enchilada. By wave 3 it's almost infinite (in fact you really want to be in infinite-mode before wave 4 starts; if 4* Thor comes out with enough to hit you right away, you're in for a world of hurt. I made that mistake a few days ago, and nearly lost the fight because of it).

I just yesterday finally drew my two covers to get her to 5/5/3 (she had been stuck at 3/5/5); I'm looking forward to run the Enchilada today and see the lightshow of a 30AP lightning storm!

Anyway, for Third Time's the Charm, you could easily sub Ares in place of Thor. The fight will be a lot shorter since it's a straight 3-on-3 fight, and Ares dishes out the damage faster than Thor.

for the single, non-survival nodes, I use ares/obw/daken - fast and lethal. for the survival nodes I use thor/mags/storm. similar to the previous poster except I use mags for his purple feeding storm (for a few more days anyway, then we'll see how it goes) and his red gathering loads of ap when you get it off. I think mags, for now, is slightly better than obw at generating blue/general ap over longer matches but doesn't deny ap like obw nor does he heal the team or extend CDs. But once you get the synergy of thor yellow to storm green and mags red going, you are constantly generating ap and then add on purple/blue and my guess is that team can take down a very high end team if you can survive the beginning of the match. I has worked flawlessly for me on the big enchilada and I don't see myself using any other team for any survival node moving forward (we'll see after the mags nerf kicks in, but his red is very useful too and he'll be feeding that to himself as well). I haven't tried the team with OBW because mags works so well.

optimus2861

I ran Mag / Thor / Storm for an Enchilada once too. It did work but you're more vulnerable to unmatchable CD tiles in the first wave, or a wave 2 enemy having a fully-loaded AP store in his/her strongest color.

I think that's why I stopped using Mag and went back to OBW; as long as she survives to use her blue, you're OK, and her purple keeps enemy AP below the danger threshold.

I prefer OBW too, at least for The Big Enchilada. I'm going to shamelessly plug my video club submission, since it's actually relevant to the discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaCjkmXF-pY

Only problem with this combo is that daken uses blue, and obw blue is pretty important when preventing taking damage from goons. I like obw, Thor, Ares. Use obw blue and purple, use Thor yellow and green, and Ares red. If you do it right you should gather ap during goon modes, using obw blue will help with not being necessary to use ap for taking down goons. Then steal all ap with obw before going into battle with real heros.

Ares/oBW/Storm does both nodes for me without needing health packs. I do the survival node first and prioritize blue/red most of the time.
