Last time this was run, in between seasons 16 and 17, the reward for #1 was Ant-Man purple, this time it's Ant-Man blue. Small world.

Your 1k color is wrong. My 4 black xfw got a lil excited, but it's actually green.

Thank you. I was rushing to get it done during my lunch break, which is long over and I shouldn't be on here now. But I don't get rep points for writing SQL queries, just a salary, and rep points are much more important.

This week shall henceforth be known as the Offseason of Juggs.

Moon Roach

I'm trying Juggs, OBW and Cyclops. at least at first.

I wonder what an all 1* team of Juggs, Spider-Man and Venom would be like. I don't have Venom, alas.

SnagglePuss

Gah, having to shield hop for a green Wolvie cover because the boosted this week don't scare anyone.... although Vision makes taking out Jeanbuster easier.

I have my lvl 1 Jugs, 5/4 Venom and Spidey ready

Boosted characters are fairly irrelevant this time around... Everyone is boosted!

Moon Roach

Now I have a Venom, and tried the 1* jugs of webs team, and it's quite good fun. I even managed to have Venom devour a Colossus, taking a few chances with saving up the AP until I could spam webs.

Now I have a mission; have Venom devour a 5*. I don't think I'm a good enough player for that, but maybe our D3 brethren could put up a prize for the first player to succeed, with screen shots as proof. Time for a suggestion in the forum less travelled.

Now I'm starting to regret selling off my Original Gangster Spider-man... maybe I can build another before the event ends?
Of course, I'd have to pay 1000 HP for a slot for him, so it may not be worth it...

I might just level my Original Spidey for this. Jugs/Spidey/3* Cyclops seems a very scary trio

They work better underleveled as they heal quicker.. hence people having a bunch of lvl 1/15/40s

Obvious question: What is supposed to be the best team to play? I'm in my 2* - 3* transition so I don't really know the high-end tactics. I see a lot of ppl talking about Jeanbusters, what would be the better 3rd character to go with them?

My point is, given a full roster of 3's and 4's, what would be the best team ?

Juggernaut, Juggernaut and Juggernaut. He's crazy good in this format.

So far, for me, no team is unbeatable unless I start playing with less than full health or suffer from bad cascades. Some team might deter attacks than others, but as long as we're worth some points someone will attack us.

Even a 2* team of Wolverine, Daken and Bullseye or OBW can beat 4* teams. Thor, Magneto and Storm can still beat anyone stun-able.

The most important is knowing when to shield and hop.

Also, since all characters start out fully leveled covers are incredibly important. Make sure to check your opponent's roster to see how well covered the characters are...

OneLastGambit

It seems like for this event the best tactic is to actually use 1/2* characters anyway since their abilities often cost way less and they scale up much better than the tiers above.

OBW/Juggs/Ares will be my team I think... very annoying at lvl270

stryke

I'm going with OBW, Juggs, and Colossus as he should be able to keep the other two alive for longer theoretically.

Malcrof

Switch/AntMan/Psylocke is pretty fun, as is IF/Cage/3BE, and Kings.. looking for fun in BoP.. try out weird combos.. and not the same old ****.. get creative, i want to see some crazy stuff on defense!

Moon Roach

Wolveroach is using Juggs, OBW, Cyclops, and overnight had 3 defensive wins, no losses.

Moon Roach is using the Jug of Webs (TM), but lots of defensive losses. Who cares, this one should be fun.

OneLastGambit

Just faced a super annoying KK/OBW/Juggs team. 2 healers + headbutts of doom made it very frustrating.

I had quite a bit of fun messing about with a BP/LCap/LThor combo, it's pretty slow but when it gets going its destructive.

EDIT: My team of LCap/Hulk/2*Daken has scored 5 defensive wins and no defeats so far!

Blahahah

I'm running a LThor/Daken/Jugs team.

Considered running Hulk in there instead and maybe Luke Cage, but the lack of tanking on purple and blue turned me off to the idea

OneLastGambit

I'm glad gauntlet is on and I don't have to grind on it because I really need these LCap covers...
