At what point...

Arimis_Thorn

do you feel it's relatively safe to fight above your weight class in PVP? That is, if I'm consistently running into teams of Boosted Character + 166 +166, at what level do you think a given 3* team can take that team on and have a good chance of winning?

I realize there are a lot of factors to take into account. Team composition for each player, what covers you have on your team, etc. But right now I've got a handful of 3* in the 140 - 150 range, but they're not top tier characters. And then I've got a handful of top tier 3*'s in the 100-ish level range. Right now in the Punisher event, my Punisher is boosted to lvl 146, though he's not optimally covered.

Just wondering if I'm skipping opponents more than necessary.

Just find one worth lots of points and give it a try with boosts. Even if you lose, you shouldn't lose too many points. At least then you will know if it is doable.

Fair enough

It really depends on your team. I've been having success using a lvl 130 Hulk (5/1/5) with a lvl 102 Patch (5/1/4) against 166 teams. I also have a 130 Luke Cage (5/5/3) or 130 XFW (5/4/3) that I use with a 120 Hood (5/5/3). I've used winfinite but I can really only use it early in a PvP because it is too slow and weak on defense to try to use near the end of an event when better players are grinding.

I know that I'm leaps and bounds better at matching than the AI, so I can be confident attacking much higher level teams. There are some teams that I have to avoid though - almost any team with a 166 Daken or Patch is not something I'm interested in trying to deal with, because no matter how well I match I will struggle to damage them faster than they can heal themselves.

Yeah basically I'm trying to fight my way back into the top 100 for the Punisher event. I've got a lvl 153 Hulk 5/2/5, a 150 Hood 5/5/3, a 124 XF 3/1/2, and a 104 Patch 3/1/5. I feel like I'm able to fight my way up a bit, but inevitably in that time, I'm losing vs other people with their lvl 250's.

This one may be a lost cause, but I'm willing to experiment. I'm currently sitting at rank 138 with 3 1/2 hours to go. If I can fight my way into the low 70's, I'll shield up and hope for the best, but it's slow going. The Cyke Red would be nice, but not going to kill myself over it.

Annnd this is hopeless. All my hitters are dead. No health packs. Consistently losing ground. I may be due for one of those MPQ vacations I've been hearing about.

Eff it, if I don't have a prayer of cracking the top 100, I'm tanking this biz.

Beast! Squirrel Girl! You're up!

Arimis_Thorn

What the flip?!!

I came back to see how many points I'd lost, and saw a +26 You Were Attacked message. The attacker largely has 2*'s save for a lvl 140 Storm and 102 Daken, but really?!

I suppose having lvl 55 Beast and lvl 40 Squirrel girl are tempting bait to lower level teams and then my boosted Punisher drops them. I may have found a new meta game

This Punisher pvp has been hard for me. My Punisher is only lvl 68 (3-1-1 covered) and boosted to 102. I'm hanging in shielded with 620 points and 76th with 33 minutes to go. I was shielded and done at 596 but found a 140ish Hood/Patch team and threw Punisher/Ares/Classic Storm out there for one quick win. Got it (with triple boosts...) and shielded without damage. I was hit 5 times in the next three minutes but didn't lose the points. I don't even want to look at my phone now because I just want this to end. I'm not even that keen on Cyclops (only have 2 covers for him anyway, but I have no idea what to expect out of the next pvp with Prof X to win a Torch I don't really want (also only two covers)), so I figured what the hell, show them that a ** roster can do it and get top 100 with two shields.

Might work some on that silly heroic for the two tokens and the storm cover.

Yeah I finished just above rank 200. I'm in a similar, but sort of opposite boat re: the next tournament. I don't have HT fully covered, but I do have 5 already. So unless I can crack the Top 25, it's not that interesting to me. And to be really valuable, I'd have to be in the top 5 which seem extraordinarily unlikely given my past performance.

Having said that, I did play up to 300 points to get the Gold token and pulled a Prof. X from it
