    Because it's still one of the fastest teams you can throw out there.

    and with so many loaners out there, a 1 cover JB blue is more of a tiny annoyance than a deterrent. Found myself making the match 5+s anyway.. until i saw lvl 200+ JG's

    I see Fistbusters for every PvP event. Not just this one. Get ready for Fistclops though.

    Boosted Human Torch+Loki was doing very well in this event. Was winning defense half the time from people who have better rosters including 270 levels. I'm use to 92% losses. That all changes now. Starting to get Fistbuster and other boosted hits.

    This event has proven quite annoying. imhb/if has been basically mandatory over 700 (every other decently fast team I can try just gets clobbered immediately). and there is a bunch more action late on a thursday evening (US time) that is typical.

    Imbh/if isn't very sustainable without someone like cage to produce protect tiles. especially in mirror matches.


    And just to irritate me even further, I have just had a run of "bad" luck where every ifokl I use creates at least 1 match 5, setting me back even further.

    Never reach 1k that easily... made a 1st push to 700 yesterday... I lost about 200 points and today I made it straight from 500 to 1000 without being attacked and without too much trouble finding opponents giving more than 40points.

    Met a lot of team with xforce... amazing how this guy have become not scary anymore. You can take him down easily with 3 star.png .

    Even in sim I faced a maxed xforce/thoress/fist and it was an easy win with cage/hood/cmag icon_question.gificon_question.gif

    still can't upvote you...

    This pvp is a mess.. people over 2k in my sub, everyone else beating each other up at 500 pts.. going to be a mad dash at the end i am guessing.

    Well, friday morning (us east coast time) was a bit better than late Thursday night (very unusual), and scores are very high relative to sticks and stones (not as high as fist bump). 1k wasn't too hard. Not sure about 1300.

    Grey/imhb/if was not a great team, especially against imhb/if. Grey's blue almost never fires, and undercovered it didn't do much damage. And her purple is great, but not better than ifokl without many covers. So she really isn't bringing anything to the table except annoying me slightly whenever I cascade into a match 5. And by themselves, imhb/if are quite solid. . .unless the board gives red, black or purple to the ai and not to you. Those matches can get ugly.

    It's probably more noticeable coming so soon after two relatively fun pvps with top tier featureds. Even psylocke was more fun! I wonder how she will be when more covers are in the system. Purple is probably going to end up looking very powerful.

    I don't understand why I saw so many Loki and base Jean Gray 1/1/1 Levle 100. Take out whomever is third, fight over.

    New milestone for me, went to 1300 on the first push. Shielded just in time as another forumite used me as a launching pad.

    Apologies to CaptainAmurika in XMen2, pretty sure I sniped him in my last match, I gave it as much time as I could.

    Jeez. How many healthpacks to go from 0 to 1300?

    Impressive, 1300 with no hop. Who are you pairing with Jean ?

    I made my push to 1k and I'm done with mine. Kinda slow in my shard actually. I'm seeing the real Xmen trying to make a statement for this event. Anyone want popcorn? icon_cool.gif

    tough event...no points available, everyone attacking me, sheepy powered up characters.

    Don't know if I'll get to 1,000. Always on stream of course.

    Sorry, 1st push meant from where I was hanging out, so went from 550 to 1311.

    To the question: 18 healthpacks thanks to team self-immolation, Carnage-IMHB. I opened a bunch of Vault tokens looking for either HP (for the Deadpool slot) or for the last blue Fury I need.

    So of course I got 30 health packs and a bunch of Iso. At least the health came in handy.

    For PvP yeah, he eats health packs. You can run sustainable teams with him in PvE like Carnage-Groot-Wolverine (3 or 4) and it's much less destructive.

    Knowing I had 40 health packs in reserve, I also didn't take any chances like I normally would. Was healing both with 60% health left, and just climbed with them from the start rather than using FistForce or something to get to 900.

    kept getting attacked from 800 to 1000, ended up just saying "krutack it" and hulkbombed my way to 1000. Was the fastest way I could think of to actually win these bleep bleep tinykitty bleeping matches

    feel free to hit me if you're in my bracket BTW...not gonna pop 300g on a shield for 10th place or worse...
