Dr. Doom is just guerrilla stomping my **** in Canada. tried the magneto mission twice now and didn't even down one person before being knocked out

Think there is a glitch in one of the doom fights. He gets the tempanic strike off in the second turn and there is no way he has 9 blue ap without a cascade. I made sure of it, I matched four blue and the rest of board had blues sparatic around the board not enough for 9 blue ap, maybe one blue match at most. Then he summons demons, I'm screwed right off the bat. I got hammered 3 times in row.

Next time you play check on a few things:

Does the enemy team have any ap before you make your first move.

How much ap do the goons generate on the first turn.

Each doombots generate 1 blue AP a turn for being alive.

You need to watch where all the blues/blacks are make sure that if you can't get the blues, at least he can't get all the blacks after doing a Technopathic Strike. This means you probably need to match some blacks early even if you have no use for them.

I haven't tracked how much AP per turn, but I'm pretty sure Doom's wingmen are feeding blue automatically.

Well of course they all start with zero I checked. From what I've read the doombots shouldn't automatically generate blue ap unless it's a secret passive ability. They do have "dominance" which converts blue tiles to black tiles with a count down of 3. I swear I don't recall one going off in the first couple turns in game. Maybe I'm missing something... I just don't ever remember getting beat so quick in 3 matches in any pve event.

...ALL goons generate ap. So yes, all goons including doombots have a "secret passive"

Edit/addition: think of it Luke this. How do they drop thier tiles when its just 3 goons otherwise?

2 hours until resets start to roll in a bit. I wish the people in my main bracket were more competitive so my subs would generate more points.

All goons generate AP for simply being alive (stunning stops this generation), but it doesn't kick in on the first turn. Usually it's 2 AP if they have only one color of ability, and 1 AP per color if they've more than one ability, though there are enough goons that also do 2 of each color.

I'm pretty sure the doombots in question do 1 green 1 blue AP per turn, and there are two of them, so you have about 5 turns before a Technopathic Strike kicks in.

Just made it over 100k in main. 100026 from 84900 and after 3 hours of fighting I am exhausted. I was crazy lucky today, but I also boosted like crazy. Easily 3-4k spent on boosts. The game decided to make it up to me for the bad luck I had yesterday with the cascades and bad setup boards. I got exactly what I needed when I needed it. I used only 3 healing packs from the 8, but I had to study every move I was making since a single mistake was enough to doom the team. The only match I did only once is the Doom+Bots in Canada. It wasn't worth the 230 points that are left. I still haven't tried the Hood+Maggia match. I may do that after I shield in the Mayhem tourney.

For now, #2 in main is at 94k but I can see him climbing since he is still playing and #10 at 79k, so at least the top 10 and the red Punisher is certain. Not sure I will get to the 8k ISO though.

The Maggia fight isn't too bad because The Hood will hog the yellow tiles, so the goons will never use Threaten, which is basically instant kill if it ever resolved. That means you only have to worry about Tommy Gun, which has been nerfed some since TaT so it's actually survivebale. Sure Twin Pistols will do like 2000 damage because the Muscles have 103 in all tile strength but it's still far more manageable than a Threaten.

My 'play once a day' strategy is working out really well still. I joined this daily bracket about 4 hours ago, been slowly workin' off missions since I got home, just hit 100k without touching one of the character-required missions in both brackets, and back in first in my main bracket (and top 5 overall in both subs). Going to smack those last missions 2-3 times in the last hour and then snooze.

Unknown

Hmm just did The Hood battle again, he doesn't use his minion's tile strength for Twin Pistols so it's actually pretty harmless. Of course his AP steal still sucks as always, but having very few Threatens makes the fight way easier than it'd appear to be.

Unknown

Welp, almost time for my daily Cap tokens.

Unknown

Sigh with probably over 20 token no Psylocke.

windfallstar

Amazing luck, no Captain America covers for once and I got black and green Punisher covers which brings him to 4/3/3! Psylocke would be great too, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Unknown

My alarm clock didn't go off

Woke up in one hour before the subs ended. Only had time to do a few missions. Ended in top 50 for one sub, top 100 for another.

Fortunately, I did Magneto's tourney last night and shielded.

I just hate it when my clocks don't go off. Will make me miss the tourneys. And make me late for work. Yeah, that's bad too I suppose.

His bots were generating blues

Unknown

Any one else get standard tokens instead of assault team? Took first in Canada and got 2 standard when they should have been assault team ones. Ticket sent, but wondering if I'm the only one.
