Lightning Rounds 1/28/14

yeah, without tanking there's no way for me to compete for the 'înteresting' rewards...maybe a heroic token if I'm lucky, but that's it..oh well.

Unknown

It's not completely impossible to tank. Just nowhere near as effective as it was.

Unknown

Epic fail: I just used Dooms blue before Mags purple

I think all these events are getting to me

Unknown

Hm I only need covers for:

Mag (3/2/5)
Hood (5/3/2)
Rag (2/3)

I don't know whether it's worth competing for a Diabolical or just getting some ISO and waiting for those specific character rounds.

Unknown

It's hard enough to get exactly in that Diabolical slot, let alone pull the exact cover you need.

Either seem like good options. Each diabolical you prolly have around a 40-45% chance of getting a cover you need (guesstimating the math) if my strategy works for you , you have a chance of getting 2 covers you need for whichever villain if you do really good. Tokens you could anywhere from 0-4 of covers you need compared to a 1-2 guaranteed if tanking effectively.

Tell me about it. And they still place a 1100 price tag on it.

I've gotten too many Purple Lokis and Green Rags from those tokens.

I'm jealous of your Hood. You already maxed his hardest cover to get. Finishing him off 5/5/3 really only needs one top8 finish which should be easy.

Yeah. It's just borderline too easy to move up sometimes. I'm still getting seed teams in Doom right now, and I'm sitting about 20th. So I'll take a break and see what happens if I drop out a bit, maybe shoot for a Diabolical.

I'll probably compete in the rounds where I need the covers.

Yeah I got lucky. Pulled most of those from tokens. I think maybe one, possibly two came from LRs.

Yeah I been waiting on yellow forever haha! I have almost oj use for a good without 5 yellow. That's why mines still lvl 18

Unknown

I'm not bothering to get covers for Rag because I have him at 3/3 right now. If the third power they eventually add is worth it, then I want room to level it to 4 or 5.

NorthernPolarity

I guess i cant farm diabolicals every round now, sigh. Time to start doing what you guys have been doing: tank 2-3 rounds, and play 1.

Unknown

Thats all well and good, but if you randomly get one, I hope you use it, since there's a fair chance that respec may be in before Rag's third power.

Just confirming what everyone probably already knows: the old method of putting in a tank team, retreating, and yielding definitely does not work: it's been an hour and so far not a single hit on my 15-Doom / 6-Bag Man / 4-CHawkeye team.

Will try actually winning a fight with my tank team next round and see how that goes.

Bring in a strong team to whittle an opponent down to nothing, yield, then bring in your tank team to finish that opponent off.

See if that works.

mischiefmaker

Will do. For science!

Unknown

Crappp. Got out of a fight just after it ended to see that I had been hit for 32 as I was fighting. Gah, there goes my Diabolical. Oh well.

Unknown

I fought to 250 and then just stopped. Looks like it got me a heroic. Retaliations seem way down today.

Edit: Forgot that #32 was actually diabolical range. Got one of those instead.

Edit 2: R. Rag. Decisions, decisions.

Did this for Loki, am currently at 110-ish. Anyone who sees me, let us know what my team looks like.
