Today's 4* DDQ Match (4hor vs Rags) Success Rates

rainkingucd

I'll kick off: how's everyone doing for today's 4* match?

My 166 4/3/2 4hor won on the first attempt, with +2 B/P boost and +2 R/Y boost

Rags never even got off a power.

Wiped three times with my 168 4/2/2 4hor using ap boosts. Rags got off plenty of powers

My 78 1/1/1 never had a chance.

But I had assumed that going in. Still a better fight than Galactus.

First go with my lvl 192 3/1/5, same boosts as Rainking. Rags did get one shot off at me before the stuns locked him down.

No problems here, but my Thor is 5/3/5 and level 270, so it's hardly surprising.
Did have a tough board with little blue, but once I got enough to Power Surge it was over.

Level 131, 1/3/2. Lost once. Have a hard time seeing how I am supposed to do enough damage to win. Maybe if I had 3 instead of 3

And that was my last hope of winning another DDQ4 (lucked out with XF and won easily with IW). After Galactus I'm not keen on playing more and just wishing for luck. Maybe we should replace the P in MPQ with L for luck?

(yeah, I'm a little bitter right now )

CrookedKnight

Level 152, 1/3/3. Ran myself out of rainbow match damage boosts and gave up. I can get him as low as 4000 health (with boosted match damage) but once he gets enough AP for either of his low-cost powers I'm basically screwed, and Thor at low covers is not only amazingly weak but the charged tiles from her blue are more likely to help him than me.

With a 5\3\5 lvl 270 as expected very easy. Makes up for last one with xpool that after too many tries to count didn't succeed.

3-1-5 192, first try with +ry ap boost

kilgarin

5/2/4 Lv. 210. Got it on the first try but Rags put up a hard fight! I was under 2k health left.

TazFTW

Level 135 4/1/1. Tried about 7 times and have given up. I figure that I would need to get blue to at least 3 covers to pull it off.

ZeiramMR

My Thor is level 190 with 5/2/3. Didn't even have to use boosts, though it was an even fight. I got him down to low enough health before he used Godlike Power that it killed him and left me with 2000 or so hit points. Pulled an Ant-Man Blue from the Legendary.

Hahaha!

No.

It's taken me a long time to get 4* Thor up to 3/3/3. I still can't really use her for PvP yet, so I was really happy to play this match.

Won on the first try, but those charged tiles were starting to add up...

action711

Mines at 125/524 and struggling. 4 tries, 4 losses, though was within 1000 once.

Think I'll do it. 4 very dry boards with minimal cascades. Just need to get lucky once.

Don't want to spend any more ISO on her, saving it for HB

0/7so far.

I feel like my 3/2/4 (now @155, @145 when the event started) thor should be doable, but nothing closer than 3k health so far.

Clearly my best strategy is to save up 18 blue and 20 red and hope that I can get a double smite down. But to date I have had terrible board luck in most of my matches.

Got it on my 9th or 10th try.

All it took was some solid board luck so I could chain together 3 stuns and collect enough red for 2 attacks. With all the charged tiles on the board, I almost dropped with with the two reds, and some nicely placed charged red tiles let me smite him one last time for victory. Pretty tough overall, since rags has tons of health and is self-healing on only 3 matches.

Playing against rags at 270, you can really the intent of his design. But at 166, with only burst healing, he is still really weak. Red and green don't do enough damage until overleveled significantly.

Raised mine up to 150s to get 10k health on her. Got it on 4th try, with three power surges. The key is to collect blue to chain stun Rag, and deny gr (b/c that takes off a LOT of your health).

Unknown

2/4/5, lvl 120

First try, using only +2B/P, I got him down to 600.
Second try I also boosted +R/Y and +50% R/Y damage but failed pretty spectactularly, only getting him to 8000.
Third try, I used the same boosts as on try 2, and won with 200 HP left.

Reward: Carnage green that I didn't need

azmadu

My 2/4/2 lvl 151 put in a good fight and I won on my 4th attempt.

Deny his green and collect red and blue as stated and you can get enough charged tiles out. Throw yellow at him when you have some to drop his health.

I used +2 r/y and r/y +10% x 5 and all colour match x 5.

I took a few licks especially one from his green but I survived and went on to claim my first legendary token since Fury vs CMags or was it Invisible Woman vs (can't remember).

2nd try, 140 5/3/5, 2 r/y, 2 b/p, 5 r/y damage. I usually pair her with IM40 and his absence is very noticeable. Collecting the AP she needs takes a long time. I had enough for 1 stun and 2 smites. I knew 1st smite wouldn't take him down, but I thought there'd be more damage. Luckily, 2nd took him down b/c 1st added more charged tiles.

Pulled an OML red. Now have to weigh the pro's and con's of his effects on the initial levels in PVE and possibly getting dumped into a different MMR bucket in PVP. If I had his yellow, I could use him as a tank in PVE and hide red/yellow/black users behind him. Since I have his red, if Daken or Blade aren't out there to create strike tiles, he can't even be a sustainable tank b/c he creates strike tiles for self damage if I fire any abilities.

Bryan Lambert

4/3/3, L176, first try using r/y boost, b/b boost, all AP boost.

It was close, but only because the board was totally red-starved between my first two Smites (4K each, back to back) and my last one dozens of turns later. In the interim, I ate a lot of damage, watched Rags heal 5K HP, and might have been dead in another turn if a charged red match hadn't lined up for me.
