  • I use Doom/Patch/CMags. I just need a green match available. Berserker Rage followed by CMags blue spam does the rest, assuming the board has enough blue.

    I still need to use boosts though, so it's not a node I grind a lot.
  • I've been having no luck with the event today. Every time I get nearly to the end, one of them strikes up a combo and wipes my team. I mean, I have BP cornered down to less than 1000 health, Mags and Wolverine dead, and he manages to combo enough black to go from 4 to 13 in one move and swipes my whole team.

    Today is a discouraging day.

  • We're kind of slacking in the Simulator. Last time I checked, we were outside the Top50 in Normal, but doing a bit better in Hard. Come on guys, try to get in another run so we can rise into the Top25 again.

    At least we're doing well in the 1* PVP, where top 50 seems all but guaranteed.

    Won't do much in the first round personnally. My Black Panther is very low level and between that and annoying characters teams (and still we are forced to use that cursed daredevil which is as good as having a hole in the team). And it is the same for Thor for PvP. Well i'll do what I can anyway. And this event has been cursed bad for me, every highly trained has been a two stars only, while I only need three stars (apart from a couple of Ares).

    By the way, what three stars character would you suggest to level in priority? For those I can level presently above level 40, I have
    Punisher 86=>128
    Doom 62=>89
    Hulk 55=79
    IM40 50=>92
    Hood 40=>102
  • Leveling Punisher is always a safe bet. He's a very well rounded character that works in every team. He may not seem that impressive, but he's very effective.

    Hood is a good support character with very low HP. His best skill is his blue. If you have 5 blue, I'd say go for it. If not, wait for more blue.

    My Doom is in a similar level range as yours. In the previous round where he was buffed, he was great, but I'm not sold on him. His 115 cap makes me reluctant to train him further.

    IM40 is usually considered underwhelming. I don't have a lot of experience with him as I only recently got enough covers to make him worthwhile. His yellow is good and he gets a lot of HP. Might work as a support character for the rest of your team.

    Hulk sucks without a lot of black covers. I'm assuming yours is mostly green. I'd avoid him.


    So basically, go all-in on Punisher and avoid Hulk. The others are worthwhile investments if the excessive cost of the later Pun levels annoy you too much. Keep in mind that those characters are all buffed during their respective LRs, where a decent level will help you gain more covers for them
  • Punisher is fairly tanky and his sckills are pretty good, especially his red at 5 covers for silly overlevelled PvE. When you're up against a 13k health bad guy 8 red to do the last 40% is pretty good icon_e_smile.gif. Molotov is also awesome if you can make strike tiles, both because it's a VERY cheap AoE and because of the attack tile it makes. I know he can make his own strike tiles but the random nature of his green means he often nukes your own strike/attack/CD tiles.

    Aside from that Hood is pretty awesome BUT his yellow is bad unless you have 5 covers and his blue is ok at less than 5 but only ok. So he needs a lot of covers AND levels (his health is TERRIBLE) but once you have them he is good in PvE AND PvP.

    Doom is a bit meh because of the large cost to his black (which is good admittedly) and his blue both uses blues (obviously) and converts them away which is an issue since you generally hav at least 1 hero who wants those blue for a healing/stunning skill.
    Hulk needs a lot of black covers to be good. Once you have them he is great though but I would wait til I have them to level him.
    IM40 is a funny one. His yellow is pretty awesome and his red and blue, whilst expensive, do good damage. The trouble is they also use up 2-3ap of every other colour. Best used as an AP battery but probably one of the weaker 3 colour 3*s.

    I'd work on punisher first. Punisher + OBW +1 is pretty good
  • Okay that last round didn't go too well but I am hoping this round would be better since my BP is decent and with buffs he its at 141. The problem is I cant figure out a good pair to go with him. I don't have Spidey for a healer which leaves me widow. My to choices for the third are Ares or Wolverine. Which is better, or should I pick Storm for AP generating? Works real well in the desert.

    I've been using BP with Widow and Wolverine just cause he hits for so much. I like Ares yellow, but sometimes he doesn't make it out with a full heal, which I prefer. I didn't get anything from my tokens, but that extra hood cover really helped out. Banner is coming along so I should have something to show you guys soon.

    Thanks for the advices, I levelled Punisher 82 to 100 (25k ISO) for the moment. I think I will level him to 110 then begin to level up another.
  • ...but that extra hood cover really helped out.
    Did we get Hood from alliance rewards? I mean...I didn't get one and really would need it.
  • Yep, we finished Top 50:
    Yellow Hood, 100 HP and 2000 iso (I think)

    If you didn't get yours, you should contact support.
  • Is no one participating in the pvp rounds? I've gotten to 300 yesterday and I haven't been attacked once overnight. icon_eek.gif That's a tiny miracle right there. I could use the Patch covers since I'm still developing my 3... Gah, where is the astrix on Swype?

    BP's main problem is his black is about his only good skill. It benefits from strike tiles, which he can make himself if you get enough environmental AP but if you pair him with OBW and Storm say, then you lack damaging abilities and colour variety plus storm doubles up on BP's black colour. From your options i'd go with OBW and wolverine. Wolvie makes strike tiles and his red does decent damage. Ares works pretty well too but a touch risky if the enemy can use greens well since you have no stun.

    Personally I am using him with Spidey and Patch against my ever so fun 3x230 enemy groups icon_e_smile.gif.

    If you mean the Thor event i'm 600 and something atm but I did a load of tanking in the LRs so i'm bullying really weak teams..... icon_twisted.gif
  • My only concern for Wolvie is his low health compared to Ares. They're at the same level, but his health is only about 60% of Ares. Though yeah, using Storm means I can only use her two abilities instead of 3, which is just as well. I rarely last down attack tiles when I use her since my combo storms pretty much wipes them all out.

    Rather, I'm considering taking out the healer to put in two attackers since I find I keep getting held back because Widow is first to go down. At least that way I can use her to heal in prologue instead of waiting for her revive and then heal in prologue.

    Yay, I found the * !

    I tanked a bunch with lightning rounds yesterday, so hopefully this means I'll be getting easy teams. I spent only half an hour yesterday in the Thor tournament, by I'll be aiming for 700 for the purple Mags.

    I don't want to bother them, since I can't be 100% sure as I was pretty drunk monday and wednesday nights. I might have got the rewards and just not remember it...but you know it's playoffs season...

    I've got about 650 atm.
  • I got up to 500, which puts me at 2nd in my bracket. Best thing though was I actually got a yellow lazy Thor at 300. Maybe I should start entering the lottery.
  • I'm sitting at 703 right now in the Thor tournament... #2, and the first place has 898. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to try to overrun them. Very unlikely I'll drop out of top 10, which is all I really need for the Patch covers.

    The next progress reward that interests me is the HP at 1000, and the Thor at 1200, which, frankly, I doubt anyone ever reached in a tournament. :\

    Anyway, that aside, how is our banner going?

    Only around 460 for the moment. It is hard with only one LazyThor cover, as I have to get by with a two guys team really. Thankfully I am far from the only one. I will aim to 600+ to get as many Patch as I can, I only have 4 covers right now (1/1/2).

    We are doing far better in the simulator this round than the previous one: 12 normal and 17 hard. Personnally I am far better ranked in the hard as I feel it is easier to rank there.
