Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

Unknown

Question for all the low-mid level players. High level's can answer too just so i can get the bigger picture

But does a fully leveled up 2* wolverine scare alot of people from playing? To me i dont usually get attacked when he is in my team and i know if i come across one maxed out i avoid him unless i have my wolverine healed. If you dont skip people with him then what tactics do you use to take him down? leave him for last or get him first now his healing has gone to ****.

Not really no.

The only truly effective deterrent is a max Hulk because it's annoying to deal with. Even then, the only thing stops me from attacking is point value.

Nemek

Not in the slightest. He has SUPER low health, it's like a free character to me, since Sniper + 1 match kills him.

The boredom of slaying yet another level 85 ** Wolvie can be a deterant. Same can be said of Thor, C Storm and now OBW. 95% of the ** teams use 3 of those 4 characters. 100% uses at least 1 of them.

NorthernPolarity

He used to be incredibly annoying with healing triggering every turn. With it nerfed to on yellow matches, not so much.

Kikujiro

Two weeks ago maybe. Since the funbalance wand touched him, not so much.

He has morph from big bad wolf into pussycat, however he can scratch if you cuddle up with him enough time.

Wolverine's health is 'normal' for 2*, but nobody that isn't a 'tank' classification is especially durable in the current meta game that tends to feature Patch who can dish out about 3000 damage in one round with Berserker Rage (just wait until you've a good cascade or a match 5 before doing Berserker Rage).

Since the AI does not try to hold red AP nor prioritize it, you usually don't have much to fear from Feral Claws. This is true even prior to the nerf, and without Feral Claws, Wolverine isn't really that strong.

I avoid The Hood and that's about it. I do take some precautions on Magneto classic (he's not as good on defense compared to offense, but he's still incredibly overpowered), and I prefer not to take chances against Storm + OBW.

Only one is 4**** wolvie..and then only if his buffs make him formidable offensively. Hulk lvl hp with a heal and strike tiles is brutal if his abilities weren't all horrible as they currently are. Hulk might be more of an issue without spidey and magneto..but at the moment he isn't that big a deterrent. I could see a hulk, xforce, spidey team being pretty f-in irritating to play against after all the patches come through.

Eddiemon

Only two combinations deter me.

The evil Spidey-Hood if you get a bad board this will take the lives of your grandchildren combo.

And the even more obnoxious M.Storm M.Widow combo.
-I stunned one of your characters for 5 and your whole team. I scoured the board with green
-I used Icestorm so that every iteration of this **** will be drawn out with a pause and animation while I do 12 damage to you.
-I stunned another character for 5 and locked up your team. I scoured the board with green
-I drained any AP you have left with purple just to rub sand in the wound.
-I stunned another character for 5 and locked up your team. I scoured the board with green
Repeat until you throw your mobile device.

100 is a pretty big number

Nope, the only maxed 2** character I find somewhat troublesome, is oBW with 8 purple Aggressive Recon, because while mine has 8 purple AR as well, she's only at level 69 and has slightly fewer hit points.
Ares is annoying; Thor is very annoying in Desert; and c.Storm can be dangerous if you take an AoE damage dealing character against her team, but ol' Wolvie? He's still good, but not a deterrent in the slightest. But don't worry, many people don't find Patch a deterrent either, for example. I have yet to lose to a Patch team, I think. At least I never lost specifically because of enemy Patch. oBW, modern Storm, the new Thor - sure.

And wouldn't you know as soon as I posted that I ran into a team with M Hawkeye and Aries! So... 99.9%?

What do you expect the 2* teams to use? These days it's hard for them to get into 3* teams and all of the other 2* suck.

Kill him when I get around to it. You're always denying and using red, so it's not like he's getting an Adamantium Slash off, and if he looks close you can always switch focus to spike him down. Feral Claws for the AI is just a way to get rid of green that someone else might've done something useful with.

Didn't you say you put your entire roster through the beef grinder at the start of any event you enter? You're not getting attacked because only the seed teams are allowed to attack you, and B4C0N_M4G1C has but one victory to his name and fears worsening his W/L even further by taking anyone else on.

By the time you have anything people would prefer not to attack, so does everyone else, unless you devote quite a lot of effort to tanking in order to faceroll people you shouldn't be matched against, so if you have a decent rating they're going to hit you, anyway.

NOPE AT ALL. one i avoid the most is hood max. or at least have all blue cover. that team is annoying. u can do nothing if ur ap depleted every turn. also watchout for obw/wolvie, spidey at high level too. maeks battle feel so loooong. hulk max? not even afraid of him. bu punisher max is scarier
