What is your post-patch team?

If my calculations are correct after Spidey nerf I will go

140 Hulk
140 Punisher
141 Patch

Thanks to that Patch will have 5 color matches (all axcept black). Slaughter will begin

But now I think Spidey, Hood , Patch is crazy team on defense after nerf of boosts

That team would be like a different fight each time on defense because of 3 very different green skills that are all very close to each other in cost (8/9/10) and two out of three are quite powerful. I can see some games where you just tear people up with Berserker Rage + Molotov, and other games it'd just be Thunderous Clap. Smash and The Best There Is has the same cost. I wonder how the AI decides which one to use?

Correct but you know ... defense is not that important. Everybody could win with everybody. Just ask yourself a question when you last time lost a fight? I don't remember.
I am only thinking on offense. When Spidey healing ability will be nerfed patch will be great at taking punches and regenerating.

All of that is just speculation. Until Spidey nerf we will have more decent characters which could change some tactics

But now I think Spidey, Hood , Patch is crazy team on defense after nerf of boosts... Rainbow team, Hood steals from begining , very annoying, Spidey stun annoying and you must leave Patch alone until you kill other two bcos of regeneration.

Defense is important some times you get points if your team beat the attacking.

Defense is now actually possible with opponent only having one shot and AP+3 all effectively removed from the game. Sure, your team will still lose the majority of their games, but if your team has 20% chance of winning, that'd usually be enough for an opponent to look for someone else instead. Even if not, 20% chance to win on defense, assuming you're attacked by someone who hits you for 25, reduces your expected loss to 15 points per attack, which is a nontrivial improvement.

I have tried the following team ups with limited success but some fun was had along the way, even though I got wiped out because of one mistake:

Iron Man 40 lvl 45
Black Widow Original lvl 47
Storm Modern lvl 32

Using that team takes a long time to win but IM powers up Widow's blue and Storm's black and green eventually gets lots of AP for the rest, so it's just a case of managing the countdown timers in Thieves.

Other team I'm testing is:

Iron Man 40 lvl 45
Spider Man lvl 45
Venom lvl 40 (He can't go any higher so it's not my fault, and I only recently decided to upgrade the last purple to lvl 5).

So again, IM powers up Spidey's blue, Spidey matches purple which Venom can use to stun the whole team with, plus a protect tile gets thrown down. I need to test whether Venom can devour one Maggia Don with 9999 health if I have 6 web tiles present. Will be nice if it works, right??

Then if all else fails heal, if I have any yellow left, then chest cannon from IM to do paltry damage before I get blatted, again!!

I'm only going to be using Wolverine (Ast) and Thor (Asg) in very limited capacities from now on. It's too expensive to heal, and too long to wait (4 - 5 hours) if I run out of the base health packs.

My darling combo right now is Spidey, patches and hulk. It's not a sure thing, but the blue spam with patches throwing tiles + anger makes for crazyness. I just lost the entire team to a 2* all cast, so it can go both ways. It's fun so i think im going to push this team past 100. If spidey gets super nerfed I will switch him for someone, maybe punisher, although I lack covers for him to be legit.

I'm currently running Patch/Daken/OBW, but would like for that to be MStorm instead of OBW eventually (currently rebuilding her). Bad for defense, for sure, but in principle MStorm would never get touched, even at lvl 50. You can also mitigate Patch's red with Daken's passive, ensuring that you only use it when two red tiles are available since Daken would take all the rest of them. Your tiles get made before the enemy tiles, so it essentially becomes an all-upside skill. Patch would also take blues and Storm can nuke environment tiles, ensuring that red is even more powerful. Green can be used situationally then, either by getting AP or by bursting for a ton of damage. Even Hailstorm can help out with Green if you get lucky and occupy all of the purples with attack tiles. Those also stack with strike tiles, making Storm do some damage even from the back line.

Mine is the same it was before the recent updates:

105 Spidey
85 Thor

3rd rotates between:

79 grey suit black widow
77 hulk
66 IM40

TheVulture

My team is shaping up as:

Original Black Widow L85
The Hood L85 (because he is 3* at L85 his tile strength is just low enough to let OBW perform the matches)
&
Whichever red & green powerhouse is currently buffed

+ It's a fun trio to play.
+ There're no useless AP, which is ideal with The Hood stealing everything.
+ Tons of ammo for the powerhouse.
- Not especially intimidating (though do seem to win a fair few defenses).
- May as well resign if the big hitter goes down, as the support characters can't win short of a whole board of strike tiles.

Running the Hood, punisher and classic magneto

I don't really have one yet since I'm missing covers on some characters that I want on my team, but it is currently:

3* Wolverine
3* Iron Man
3* Doctor Doom

Patch has made this game fun for me again. I love the fear that people have for Berserker Rage; personally, I think it rocks. You just have to save up the greens until the moment is right - usually once you've downed the best character on the opposing team - and then drop it. Maybe even drop it twice. By that time you've probably got enough reds saved up for a Best There Is, which basically means game over. If not, with Patch out in front regenerating with a maxed Healing Factor, you can usually still soak up enough hits to last it out.

And this is completely ignoring what happens if you have our favourite trickster god on your team!

Not missing Astonishing Wolvie at all tbh, Patch is The Man as far as I'm concerned 5/3/5 all the way!

I've been running two different teams around Patch.

Patch Wolverine (3/5/3)
The Hood (1/4/0)
Original Black Widow (3/5/5)

This was fun, but a little sketchy as my Hood is lacking covers and levels. Regardless, I was able to finish most fights at full health.

Patch Wolverine (3/5/3)
Hulk (5/1/2)
IM40 (3/3/1)

This was my defense team, but I found that I can usually clear teams just as fast as my AP Thief team above. Recharge feeds red for Best There Is but importantly stuns IM and gives Patch icons on all except black.

Unknown

No team for me as I cashed in Thorverine and none of my other characters are are enough.

I noticed that Widow and Storm dominate again, endless cycle of stuns and tiles stolen

You have to try Patch/Hulk/C.Storm if you have anything like the covers for it. I don't, even, but I'm definitely more interested in leveling Hulk and getting more blacks than I was before trying my gimpy version of this. It's suicidally stupid, but the carnage is glorious and you'll more or less always win, and fast, just never tidily. I find it oddly refreshing when everyone's so set on having OBW or Spider-Man (or even both!) in every team because of the need to preserve uptime.

Unknown

I run hulk, spidey and OBW for fast non-power bases destruction. The point Being to deny the enemy, stun, and win the fight at full health.

Patch 93 5/3/5
Hulk 93 4/1/5
Punisher 74 5/3/3

Patch tanks early match damage. I try to deny ap until I can get patches six strikes, and two MRE abilities off. Try to line up pink tiles so you have shot to erase some. If you can get the patch green off then two consecutive punisher blacks you will do 3200 damage to primary target plus 2100 to the other two. Plus at least a thousand match damage. At this point hopefully you can just get hit once and win. It is really hard to line everything up perfectly' but if you screw it up anger pretty much always saves the win, with lots of damage taken. Its not ideal, but when it works its awesome.

I'm currently running

Patch 5/3/5 Lvl 115ish
OBW 3/5/5 Lvl 85
Ares 4/4/5 Lvl 85

Ares is mostly there since I don't have the covers or ISO for someone better. At least he has a nice AOE attack which works great after popping 6 strike tiles. My alternatives for an AoE attack are a punisher whose covers limit him to Lvl77 at best and a classic storm who is also severely underlevelled, at lvl 50ish. During the TaT event Storm's passive worked great with the strike tiles, so she could be an alternative to Ares, but right now I'd rather put all my ISO into levelling Patch.

The key is not using Berserker Rage until the time is right, which means ideally having 10 red AP for Ares and a purple match available to destroy some enemy strike tiles.

Unknown

I'm not really the type of player this post was directed at but I'm using Mags/Spidey/Punisher as much as possible before the fun starts on the first two.

I love the color rainbow and this team can actually utilize the color from the only passive involved too so I love it.

Unknown

I play with maxed classic storm, maxed out obw, and since I sold Thor I've been using moonstone (level 80) and Hulk (level 70) as replacements. Moonstone powers are pretty good when on a team of ap generators. You get black ap for moonstone a little quicker with obw espionage. I still have my 2* wolverine but I'm trying to craft a team without him.
