I am having an awesome time with SG, Captain Marvel, and She Hulk. It's pretty fun to have useful moves after three matches of almost any color.
SG is at 120 (210 boosted) Carol is at 140 (200), and Shulk is at 120 (169).

I don't need anything in this PVP, so I'm not as invested as I would be otherwise.

I agree with both of you, I feel that Cpt Marvel + SheHulk is the more interesting combo with weekly buffed characters, in terms of balance of fun and efficiency: good synergy, damage and a stun for wandering Hulks...

apart of that
Buffed Hulk is very efficient... but consumes too much healthpacks
Invisible Woman may be pretty effective (above 300 with the buff), in particular she can nullify anger tiles from all these buffed Hulk ... but fights with IW still tend to last and to be boring

My problem is that my Cpt Marvel and She-Hulk are only lvl 110 that means a buffed 153 level. Enough to be usable but certainly not enough to be feared by my opponents... and I hesitate to spend iso on her, decisions, decisions...

Ive been using SH/Marvel this week also, they are only getting better with more levels. Started the week with both of them at 120, 3 days later they are both at 136 boosted to 194. If Im going to use them all week I may as well level them up

Thanks, I have to think about it...

I've been using Cmags with Captain Marvel to cover the rainbow instead of Fury. His red is great for creating cascades to get more AP and if SG creates protect tiles, you can wipe em out with Marvel.

If you're dropping iso on anyone, so she hulk before captain marvel. I don't think everyone fully realizes how much more useful she is now compared to before. But with Daken strike tiles coming up, it'll be nice to steal and boost 2 tiles.

Mystique and Hulk have actually gotten me some defensive wins! That's new.

I actually love She Hulk, especially in that event

I luckily just got her 13th cover, but she's now a 3/5/5 and I'm not completely satisfied with that. I'm thinking 4/4/5 but I'd be happy to have some experienced users' opinion about that

Thx !

Argh.

I was sitting shielded at 890 points last night in the last slice.

I get ready to do a couple of quick hops before shielding the 8 hours for bed.

I made my 35 point hit (the economy in this slice is seriously lacking) and got sniped for 55 points in the 5 minutes or less that it took me to win. I looked at the retaliation and it was going to be 3 points. He was using a maxed Hulkbuster and Iron Fist.

Seriously.... can we do something about these snipers? It is like he was just waiting for me to drop my shield. There's no way that someone with that good of a roster should be able to camp in the 200s and still target someone in the 800s.

I too have been using SG/Shulk/Marvel and it's been fun. They cover the rainbow, most of their abilities are useful, and for the mean time, it's a trio I would never have used before.

Marvel was already at lvl 140 so I had to put ISO into Shulk and SG to get them both there. I look forward to pushing a little bit more with them before my inevitable Hulkbombing begins.

Maxed Cap Marvel/ 4* Thor have served me well plus I pulled my last purple Scarlet Witch with one of the tokens so overall a pretty good pvp!

I've had been putting everyone to 127, now most to 140. That's where my Marvel/She-Hulk sit: I used them for the first push. She-Hulk has the AoE that might scarecrow better than Hulk, his green just doesn't do enough damage. Marvel is a nice hulk counter with her stun. They are certainly more fun/varied to play than my main team.

After 300 points or so it's been all Hulk buffed to 240/Hulkbuster buffed to 240/Squirrel Girl buffed to 245. That's what I used in Groot as well, figuring the health points would perhaps be a deterrent. HB is a nice way to one-shot hulks and marvels, Hulk can slap away SG tiles.

Pushed that to 600 yesterday and had no attacks (~725 is where I've seen it somewhat stabilize), to 900 this morning, then hopped twice to get to 1K (3/8/3). Wasn't planning on shielding at the top but I did, three hits in and quick shield before the eight counters came back. Two D wins somehow, that's been a downside with these - while it's a long/annoying match, it's not necessarily the most dangerous/damaging match (one-trick pony that the AI won't play well); never had a D win in the Groot event.

Got to 1k for the first time ever in this event. I have a fully covered 127 SG (3-5-5), and ran her w/ some combination of IF/HB, Daken/Blade, and Luke Cage/Mags or Cap to get to 650 last night and decided to go to bed unshieled. I woke up to only one hit, pushed to 917 where I ran out of health packs and put up an 8 hour shield which would hold til the end of the event while in 18th place. I fell to 22nd, decided to break as I was only getting like one attack every 30 minutes, and found a 40 and 50 point match which got me over at which point I threw up a 3 hour shield. I was surprised my teams were able to scarecrow so well as only HB is boosted and he's at 6 covers, and everyone else is between 104 and 127, with only Dak/IF fully covered.

Last night, I jumped over 900, since I didn't need the IW, and figured I'd get the token. Didn't shield (I don't need any of the covers except #1, which I'm not getting). Woke up this morning, bracing myself for a 250-300 point loss.

I had been hit once, for 43 points.

Didn't do any more matches until about the 20 minutes left mark. Figured I'd been hit more by then, but this time, I hadn't even been hit once. Still at 869. Hit a few matches, got to 1055 and #5 with about a minute left, finished #6, wasn't hit again.

I've put more effort into PVPs where I finished with 600 points and was barely in the top 100. I don't think I've ever been hit less.

I've been doing fairly well with She-Hulk, SG and Cage. Cage is my only fully maxed out of the three, but up until just now I've gotten defensive wins on most of my attacks.

Hit the 1k progression just now (yay) and then was quickly attacked by two for over 100 points loss, and out of top 10. Don't mind too much since I still got that IW cover

wish I could find those holding spots. all I wanted to do was start my push today at ~600, but every time I won 1-2 matches to leave it at 600, within minutes someone would knock me down to 550. happened ~6-8 times yesterday. so, started my push at 550.

have a fully covered squirrel at 104, boosted to 182. for ** teams, been using cmags or Lcap with hood or marvel or Cyclops. for *** teams my only options are Lthor/loki (I can win with other teams, but they at least give me a chance at defending the retal.).

Posting this here, hoping someone will see it..

The Cover Squirrel PVP which i had been grinding for blade covers was going fine, then i lost connection.. which has happened to much since the last patch, i don't even care anymore.. it finally comes back up, all events are gone, been there done that many times over this past week as well, restarted phone, all events are back.. nothing unusual about any of this.. this entire week since the patch, this has been a multiple times a day thing.


The new thing... I open it up, and get the screen showing i had been attacked in the Cover Squirrel PVP, no biggie, was only around 7 hours left in the event, was going to make a final push for my 1k progression (was waiting to see how many points i lost while sleeping, to see if it was worth it).. it showed i had lost 55 points.. good, time to make my push and shield.

I open up Cover Squirrel, and it appears to have rolled me back an entire day.. 500 points of progression lost (no idea if i lost covers, as i sold the SG yellow, and both tokens gave me something to sell) and my retal subs.. are the people that were there 24 hours ago..NOT the people who had hit me while sleeping.

ISO 8 Brotherhood not effected, but my season score is down (was close to my 10 pack) and i am wonderfully #327 in a PVP i was sitting nicely in the top 25 in.

It looks like i am able to earn the progression rewards for the pvp again??? So that means it definitely discarded my entire day of grinding and shielding from yesterday.

I can handle the connection issues (please fix them though), but this is ridiculous.. Finally a PVP with rewards i want, DID spend loads of HP on health packs and shields to make sure i got what i wanted.. and it all went away.

Side note, all the HP i spent on health packs and shields are back, like it never happened... What gives?

First time hitting 1,000 points was in this event. SG

must be nice, i had to start over from scratch losing 2 days of progression.. (see above post).. i will say, out of the 4 tokens from the event, i did get ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from them.. so there is that.

****...I'm really frustrated. I can't use Patch/Daken because characters are so beefy(Hulk), yet when I used my powered up characters(Level 240, that's MAX POWERED UP SHULKIE) she gets shredded by Patch in 1 match dying, and my thor gets half his health eaten by 3*mag in 1 match

So I can't use good defensive characters because they'll instantly die, and I can't use my climbers(Daken/Patch) because I'll get effed for not using powered up characters

catch 22

WHEN ARE THEY INCREASING HEALTH PACKS

ended up shielding for the first time in months, I'm not gonna kill all my 166 characters just to get kicked out of top 100, no siree/ma'amee

This event felt like a PVE grind, because literally every single team (except 2) I faced after the seeds were SG + 150 2*Daken/2*Wolverine (for what it's worth, the two exceptions were SG + 150 Wolverine + maxed 2*Thor/2*Captain Marvel). There was literally no roster diversity whatsoever for 2*'s and the only 3* rosters I saw were all boosted over 200/300 and I didn't like my chances). Fortunately, SG was an absolute beast against so many tile generators...even with mine "only" being 4/3/3. Even more fortunately, all-but skipping PVP last season apparently helped put me in a pretty tame bracket, so 500 points netted me a Top 25...my best finish ever. Considering none of my other PVP brackets were anywhere near this simple, I'm not sure what's going on...although I guess something this bizarre is oddly appropriate for a SG feature

Oh well, I'm assuming things will get back to normal for Blade's feature, so here's hoping I can at least net another green Bullseye...
