the scAvengers - [20/20] - You have Hulk. We have Phantron.

Hm, there is crazy difference between 2 and 3 count (Ares taught me the lesson for good), so the 5th blue is huge improvement. But only for those who actually use that skill, and there I'm not sure, as we have some really kickass blue abilities around .

The last red 30%+ looks impressive but IIRC it is applied to quite tiny base. So I will consider 4/5/4 along with 5/3/5. Will watch out.

In the isolated environments I used her (recent jugs PVE and the one she was uberbuffed) all abilities were good, but defnintely the black ruled, both as direct dmg and the immediate tile placement. In jugs I saw that even without strikes it made a deal of damage with the tile alone.

Blue I used seldom (mostly because forgot about it and sometimes it stole good stuff. But it is pretty random, the biggest store is often the one with the waste, then the story depends whether I can use it or not. It was much better on the second steal.

I wonder if we get another run of No Man's Land... Instead of repeats of DC everyone seems equivocally hating. (Though they want it for LazyThor obviously)

The red one I recall using the least as at base price it's way too expensive (at the given level) and I had better red along -- but in jugs helped to kill the last points of someone before I had 12 for Wolvie, and has some synergy with the tiles. Not creating tiles look like major setback. Though I should compare damage on similar level (or her target level) to be fair.

Sorry to butt in, and I see that recruiting is closed, so this is just in case it opens up again. Im unattached and looking for an alliance. I have a decent roster but mostly just play too much. I have several top finishes (XFW is 1/2/1 and Bagwoman is at 3/0/3) plus even won The Hunt the first time through. If space opens up please let me know. Thanks!

Psylocke is one of the few characters that goes well with lazy Thor because she does not have a cheaper yellow or green (or a yellow or green ability at all, for that matter). I'd want 5 blue when paired with lazy Thor, since lazy Thor will be doin the vast majority of the work there anyway. When forming a team with lazy Thor, the most important part is just to find guys who don't get in his way with a cheaper yellow/green, and that actually eliminates a ton of characters (Patch, Hulk, Black Panther, Spiderman, The Punisher).

Unknown

As for recruitment, IMO topmost criteria should be enthusiasm and community-sense. So forum activity rulez.
Roster closely follows from enthusiasm so it is not extra, and raw count is not a factor again. But approach to tournaments is. And buying slot would be an extremely poor criteria as we are not a buy-in group hopefully. (Though anyone who can put together HP for extension is more than welcome.)

I looked at MarvelMan's posts and he looks pretty much aligned.

Unknown

Ok, let's MarvelMan apply, we'll check His roster.

the scAvengers managed to get 3 members into top10, which I consider a great success!

Got me a shiny BWGS red power (and another Green Patch from Standard Token. Never enough ISO)

Problem with Psylocke is that she is somewhat lackluster in the damage department. Both her red and her black only deliver a very minor hit, less than 1k when maxed. You get a 200 points strike/attack tile on top, still not sure if that's really worth it.

That's fine because lazy Thor is pretty much a one man team that has 2 colors that can potentially be a game ender even on defense (Thunder Strike and Call the Storm), so Psylocke's shortcomings offensively isn't as important as opposed to not getting into the big guy's way (which is a problem for most strong character that have a cheaper green attack).

By herself she's fairly average and can't compete against The Punisher and up tier of characters.

Patch+Psylocke worked wonders, with the strikes out the black punch for 6 is really cheap and the attack tile starts working right on as you pass the turn

Guys, what are we gonna do with the free slot?

Active recruiting is a good idea. Strong roster & tourney placement are pretty solid barometers of what kind of player we're looking for. As long as we can get them into the forums here to communicate we should be alright.

Unknown

As far as recruitment goes I would say the number one priority would be communication. We can all play the game and do well independently but I think having fun should be most important. In my opinion, within the context of an alliance, that means taking part in our channel...thus promoting accountability...discussing strategies...and colorfully sharing our battle stories.

...oh, that and kicking all the other alliances ****.

I prefer Patch + Punisher due to having Best There Is at level 5. Maxed Psylocke would match red, maxed Punisher doesn't interfere. Downside is that attack tiles take longer to get on board, the initial Molotov hit a pretty decent group damage though, especially with a few strike around.

I'm toying with the idea of Lazy Thor + Daredevil. Anybody know if you get to see that "Trap disarmed" floating text in case the AI destroys it's own traps with a Lazy Thor tile overwrite skill?

You should get the text any time it's disarmed.

I left the jugs event after just grabbing the 50HP with minimum games played (most at 1000 pts really low count). I overlooked where it ends and will not be there, so no chance at position in any case and the thing bored me out in R1 already. Could have used some more LT covers but will do without until more sensible ways appear to get him.

The forum now has the rating feature, as I talked way too much already will try to just use the +1 button more times.
Also bumping people writing sensible posts.

I'm not even sure it will disarm. Need to do some testing, it might just change the color and leave the trap intact, nothing gets added onto the tile after all. Scary thought, lots of green tiles around, some of them containing any of the three traps.

Unknown

IIRC all tile manipulation (Daken, Hulk, etc) just overwrote the traps without any trace. I expect the same for LT.
I recall messages only when the trap got matched.

Unknown

Pure color change abilities do not overwrite traps, though a lot of color change abilities simply replaces the existing tile with a new one, and that will get rid of the trap.

Indeed I recall BWGS changed some tiles to green and they still had the red trap. Though I recall Hulk killed the traps though his text also has "change" at lest in the compendium. Meanwhile LT "adds" new tiles as IIRC desert does too.

Possibly Hulk is just misphrased.

And You're in. Please welcome MarvelMan among the scAvengers!

3hrs left in the Heroic Jugger. I entered about 15hrs before the end and right now I'm #100, before I even started second grinding. This promises a decent spot . Just for the sake of complecity (and possible future events with "Lazy Thor required" battles) I need at least 1 cover of him.

i'm 19 but getting low on available points. i'm 9 rewards from getting all rewards. SHOCKING!!!

This is not going to end well for you.
