Advice for the LRs

MarvelMan

What is the "best" team for these lightning rounds? When I say best Im meaning mostly speed of kill, but not so squishy to invite attacks (looking at OBW).

With that as a start, where would 100k ISO be best spent:

BWGS: 5/3/5 at lvl 66
Hulk: 5/2/3 at lvl 15
IM40: 5/4/3 at lvl 90
Frank: 3/5/5 at lvl 30
Spidey: 3/4/5 at lvl 66
Patch: 1/1/0 at lvl 15

With Astonishing Wolvie nerfed, the Strike Tiles of Punisher is infinitely more useful now. I recommend getting him to a decent level at least.

Unknown

Patch woulda been my answer had you covers for him. Else, Punisher or gsbw, unless you really love Hulk.

While Spidey is very good, he gets very lesser benefit from levels or the LR buff.

Unknown

I don't recommend BOTH Hulk and Punisher, since they both have same colors.

My spidey works fine @ lvl 70. He never even comes close to dying even.vs. 3 141 unboosted. So don't bother leveling him up. Frank is a beast with the boost and in general is the only "easy" strike tiles you will get. I'm not a fan of patches atm but at least part if that is due to saving ISI and waiting on info about the wolvie change (xforce). You do only have 30 ISO worth in him vs 90 in im...but I prefer a team of gsbw, castle, spidey to one with im instead of gsbw.

Side note: grey suit MAY be needed at some point while punisher really has no chance of that. Probably worth leveling up grey suit regardless as the ISO is worth what she can let you win even.if in a month she is nerfed unconscious. Personally I would put it into punisher and grey suit. If you REAAALLY want a high lvl then put it into mostly grey suit and go spidey gsbw im.

Problem with grey widow is that I find the match already over by the time I have 19 Green.

Punisher for sure, especially since you have him at 3/5/5, the execute is really helpful. I also like IM40 since he has a huge health pool and his red deals insane damage when buffed. Round it out with Spidey, the stunlock/protect tiles are too good to give up and you can keep playing without health packs. Plus with this team you've got rainbow and good variety.

Unknown

Hulk is the best deterrent to attackers, but only if you have him at high level with black at 5.

Spider-Man is a natural fit since he works with any team and he's the only boosted character who can use blue (realistically).

Punisher is really good in general, and his red works wonders for clearing out Hulks/IM40s. Patch can kill a little faster, but I think kill speed is less important in these LRs than usual because so many teams have tons of HP, and you'll be stunned/stunlocking a good amount of the time, so you just want to be making quick matches under strike tiles without being too picky.

So all in all, I'd say Punisher/Spidey/Hulk or Punisher/Spidey/IM40 is probably the most consistent team, but you could do some crazy things too like GSBW/Patch/Hulk with Hulk at a higher level than Patch, so you end up with 9-18 green instantly and wipe the enemy team with Anger.

The thing is, all of the boosted characters' damage comes from green and red, so overlap is inevitable. Punisher is the only character with an additional damage ability. Beyond that, you're just looking at IM40/GSBW for their battery skills (but GSBW is too squishy), or Hulk who has a perma Repel aura, which I believe is more useful.

Her Deceptive Tactics is really good as a green generator for Punisher or Hulk, and gives you an excuse to get up Spidey's protect tiles.

And that's if you don't use it to snipe. 19 Green is really easy with DT. If you're running Mag, then the green probably won't be as useful.
