    A featured that actually does something? That doesn't stall fights to a soul-crushing crawl and a point where featured vs featured becomes a losing proposition even if the human does have a shot at the victory? Is it even possible?
    Yeah I'm still scarred from Falcon's event which hasn't even ended for me yet.

    I think everyone is scarred from Falcon's event which crashed the krutacking game.

    So.....will it be possible to get to 1300 points? I barely got to 1000 in Falcon PVP....

    I'm pushing for 1300 in slice 5 if anyone wants to join.

    I'd be willing to join slice 5 but I join pretty late.

    And honestly, I was more worried about getting attacked than there being a deficit of points to not get to 1,300. I haven't had any low point matches in a longgggg time(would love higher point matches ofc, but meh)

    I think it will, but you'll have to shield hop to get there, which means you're going to need to start your run at 1300 early-ish, and time your shield refreshes right too.

    Cap Marvel feeding red/black to the Fistbuster teams above 1K is going to be ugly.

    Good thing Falcon scared everyone off.

    I'm top 25 and I have one of the most poorly advised rosters of all-time. Winging it to the extreme. Though this seems to be the calm before the storm.

    Good news is that both her red and black powers are cheaper, so the AI will likely fire those over IMHB's, although her black is fairly potent.

    Three people in my bracket have made it to 1300, including myself. There are at least another three people who look likely to make it, with another one or two maybes.

    Took me five hops to get there (210 Cap Marvel/240 BP/293 Thing), including one failed attempt. If that attempt had been successful, probably would have made it in three. The failed hop was a disastrous second match against a 350 PX, where a cascade of death produced three Master Plans in a row, downing Thing from near full health. Things just got worse after that, so I aborted the hop at about the same point score where I broke shields.

    Total expenditure was 750HP (2x 3 hour shields, 2x 8 hour shields, 1x 24 hour shield). I probably could have gotten away with 600HP by using an 8 hour instead of the 24 hour shield, but I really wanted to get a decent night's sleep, and not worry about grabbing my phone as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning.

    As mentioned by hex, Cap's energy absorption tends to feed her own red and black, rather than Hulkbuster's, but you need to be a tad careful that she doesn't feed red when she has 4+ red AP in the bank, or 8+ black in the bank, or you're going eat a big repulsor boosted fist in the face.

    Thanks for this detailed post. Tells me I won't be ready to attempt 1300 for a few months probably icon_e_biggrin.gif Congratulations!

    Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but when did the loaner become 1/1/1?

    They announced it in the last Q&A, I think. Might have only just gone live with R79, I'm not sure either.

    tried to get to at least 800 pts last night, but i noticed anyone who went to 800 would be destroyed so could only get to 700, lost 200 points. Will try and shield hop to 1300 but it lookslike I missed my train while sleeping icon_e_sad.gif

    Any thoughts on good teams to push with? I used 12 health packs getting from 400 to 700, including a few hits taken and retaliations. I'm in the Alliance "Alliance" if you want to check out my roster, but I've also listed the relevant characters below. The thing that hurts is Marvel is tanking yellowflag.png and redflag.png for Wolverine, and also doesn't generate any blackflag.png. Storm seems useless because attack tiles are bad against Marvel without a stun. My best matches seemed to be Wolverine + Hood, storing up AP, then using it all during a single Hypersonic Punch + Berserker Rage + Twin Pistols combo to remove enemy strike tiles. I don't think that team's scary enough on defense though.

    Marvel is 210 5/3/4 (120 boosted)
    The top of my roster is:
    240 Storm 5/3/5 (166 boosted)
    240 Wolverine 5/4/4 (166 boosted)
    169 Magneto 5/4/3 (120 boosted)
    166 GSBW 5/5/3
    166 Daken 5/5/3
    166 Doctor Doom 5/3/5
    166 The Hood 5/5/3
    166 Thor 3/5/5
    140 Luke Cage 5/3/4
    Could level my Squirrel Girl 3/1/5 to 117 which would be ~164 boosted I think.
