Need Help With PvP
I jumped into the Army of One event on the first day and pushed to 510 before running out of health packs. I am using the following heroes:
166 Pun 5/3/5
166 LThor 3/5/5
154 BP 5/3/5
145 GSBW 5/4/4
For the first few matches I used 50's leveled heroes as they were seed matches. Once the opponents got to 94 I went to the heroes listed above. Once I hit 510 I shielded for 24 hours. Upon logging back in last night , every node contained opponents 166+ and every match had at least one 250+ hero in it. I tried two nodes - won one and lost one - and needed three healing packs. Am I supposed to be able to beat those nodes with my roster?
It feels like I can no longer advance in this event. I would think with my heroes (esp a fully leveled Pun) I should be able to get higher. Should I be going at the early part of the event differently? Different time slice?
Any help would be most appreciated...

I have a similar roster to yours, and I only start seeing level 200 plus opponents at around 600 points. They'll show up, but I just skip them. Everyone seems to have different experiences with this. What I do differently from you is join the event much later. I push to 600, sit unshielded, then push again and shield at three hours (eight if I know real life is going to keep me away from the game). I'm no elite PvPer, but I'm happy to be able to get T50 and occasional T25 rewards without a lot of effort and a net HP gain.0

Wow, all the way to 500-600 before seeing maxed 3 and 4 stars? My wall starts way lower than that... (like, 300), and my roster is way worse than the OP's.0

I don't know what to tell you OP. You should not have problems beating the **** MPQ AI with that roster. My highest level character is 130 and I regularly take down teams that you seem to be struggling with (although I do try to avoid 166 -> 249 featured character rosters such as yours). This event should be a walk in the park for you.0 -
When do you join events? Is it right away, or do you hold off? I've long felt like I got an advantage out of joining in the last 24 hours. I think it's just a more populated field at that point. There's certainly no disadvantage, since I wasn't going to shield-hop anyway.
Like I said, I do see maxed 3*s. But I don't hit the "wall" until around 575 to 600. You hear stories about people getting it at 300. I have no idea what the factors are.0 -

I would have thought so - maybe I am doing something wrong. With Pun - LThor - GSBW, I have all but Blue covered. I will prioritize Pink, Yellow, Green, Red - basically driving towards multiple "Call Of The Storm" attacks - I do tend to ignore denying the CPU colors as instead I drive for my own. Maybe I need to focus a touch more defensive. I will say it is amazing how often the CPU draws multiple matches and cascades vs how often I do, and it seems to need less in a color than i do to kick off an attack (second turn using its team up power has happened to me numerous times). More often than not, I will have no matches to help me on a board (only match is a color I don't need) so I take it and the CPU runs a cascade into another move for me with colors I don't need. The longer I play in a session, the more consistently it happens.
In the end I guess maybe I need to play more defensively.
When it comes to choosing opponents, should I be willing to choose groups with a pair of 166's and a 60 of the features hero? Is that a matchup I should be able to win? Are there 4* that are still very beatable even if they are in the 200's?
I love the game - most enjoyable - just hate the VERY SLOW grind through 3* so trying to get better and make it easier. Thanks again for any help you can offer...0 -

PeterGibbons316 wrote:Try picking teams that are very similar to yours, that way building your AP denies them theirs. Adjust your priority based on the enemy roster - very few enemies have effective cheap purple powers, so you probably shouldn't be prioritizing it. You can go up against a 200ish X-Force as long as his black isn't fully covered. Because you will be focusing on killing him first and denying him green. Just make sure he isn't teamed up with a Hood or something that will feed him.
So it is the way I am approaching it - the thought on Pink priority is 4 matches sets up GSBW's power that will generate a lot of green - which feeds into "Call of the Storm" by turn 5 or 6 which can decimate a team quickly. So again - I am thinking offensive - and not necessarily thinking about my opponents and how I match up - very good to know...0
