Last time, I only had a purple cover. Now, he's 1/2/1. Heard it was an easy fight against JG, so I'm keeping my hopes up.

Also hoping I gather some premium boosts. I used up my last ones when I forgot to clear them in the match after the last Crash mission.

    This is, indeed, one of the easiest 4*DDQ, IF you have at least 0/3/0. When this came around last time, I had a 0/2/1 level 90 iceman, and it was one of the rare occasions I spent money for a cover, to get him to 0/3/1. Very slow win, but a win regardless.

    The idea is to keep your opponent stunlocked, casting blue only when there are no blue countdown tiles present. At 3 covers, he stuns for 4 turns, which makes a world of difference, as the countdown tile would have expired by then, and hopefully within that four turns you'd have collected enough blue to keep casting it every 4 turns. Just need to be very careful not to double-cast it in case you don't have enough blue to stun your opponent again.

    This is one of the few occasions where as long as you have the right covers, you can in fact do it at level 70 (I did it at 90). Save your premium boosts.

    Last time this fight ran my icon_iceman.png was 1/0/2 so it wasn't even funny. Just lots of sadness. Now he is up to 5/2/5 which isn't optimal but I think I will be able to pull it off.

    I never pull his covers, and my 1/0/1 Iceman isn't going to cut it. I'll give it one or two goes for giggles. Oh well, there's always the next one.

    I have a lvl 120 2/4/4 Bobby. I'm looking forward to phoning this one in and not using any boosts. We shall see.

    pulled a blue with my first taco token to get to 0/2/2, but I'm still not holding out too much hope! Will give it a try I guess

    I have him at 4/3/1 158, so this is going to be the first Crash that I seriously try.

    I'm at 0/3/2, with a Green coming in Daily Rewards the next day. But based on comments here, it sounds like I will be fine.

    Pulled a green a couple weeks back. Bumped my 90 4/2/2 to 167 today, hoping that works.

    Last time, at 5/0/2@168 (or whatever the limit is with those covers), it was just ugly. Now, 5/5/3@285, I'm expecting a snoozer. I can use a snoozer. icon_e_smile.gif Should be nice to remove the taste in my mouth from trying to win with Mr F.

    Mine is approaching respectability @ 1/1/3 level 70. I've got 20k iso as I just championed Loki yesterday. I've got 9 days left on 2 punisher covers (level 100), I'm looking at Cyclops 6 days from now. I've had a great run of 4clops covers in the last 45 days. Mine is now 4/1/5 level 104. With some iso I can win his. I don't know if I can spare any for Bobby tomorrow. I just don't know what to do here.

    I've had a green Bobby in my last two pve vaults and between blowing 100 hp a day on daily "deals" trying desperately to get one and the 1k I spent rostering quake, I'm tapped.

    Is 1/1/3 enough or should I pass and save the iso?

    First time AI got 10 purple -and- 12 green by turn five. Cascades yeesh!

    2nd time got her easy.

    Green Thing - at least 4th thrown away while needing either of the other colors, including last time it was rewarded. Red Hulk is the exact same for me, except it is the reward next time. icon_e_sad.gif

    HATE HATE HATE RNG SYSTEM.

    Missed this last time as my phone was on service. This time Ice Ice Baby is level 250 with a 3/5/4 build. Had it a bit diffuclt due to Little blue on the board, but I was able to freeze Jean a few times until I could finally Punch a Snowman.

    What a difference a cover makes. Last time I had only 1 blue cover, and it just wasn't enough to keep her locked down long enough. This time around I tried my 2/2/2 unboosted at level 93 just to get a feel for things. Three turns of stun works much better, and I felt like I had a good chance. I threw 19k ISO at him to level him up to 127 and boosted b/p and all ap plus all match damage. I had a very favorable board that was sparse in purple and green. After stunning her once, I was able to take away any matches in her colors and slowly build up purple and green. I only needed a couple of uses of Whiteout and CaI, before a match-5 into a match-4 blue finished her off.

    I like this kind of match up. Playing carefully to keep the opponent locked down, sacrificing short term gains for long term board control, it makes it into more of a thinking game.

    Took a couple of tries but got there with my 1/2/2 , you need to keep the blue stun going for as long as you can, I took the +1 all boosts and +2 b/p & 50% damage on b/p, my reward, a 5* spidey (my first)

    Been feeding him ISO and he is now at level 200. Beat her on my first go with no boosts.

    She got off one power. Fighting a max JG was nice because I didn't need to look at her powers to see how much she would hit for.

    LT banked for after I finish Ice in the off-season PVP where his final blue will come around.

    Last time my Iceman was terrible, but this time he was 3/3/5 level 189. I boosted all AP and blue/purple because I could. I matched blue right away and I think Jean got 3 non-stunned turns the whole match.

    Got a useless XFW black with the token. Oh well, 1000 ISO.
