  • I've been beating them with my lazycap, thor, and OBW combo. Cap and Thor take most of the hits which I can heal. I just get rid of Bullseye first so I can start getting some purples. It's a mess dealing with the strike tiles, but I haven't lost it yet. I'm over 50k but there is no way I'm getting that cap cover. Definitely bad maths.

    Lokitty, you know that you don't have to manage covers like you used to? If you're maxed covers you can still level up one by choosing another to take a point out of. I'm training anything I get just so I can keep leveling and then I'll adjust covers to what I want when I get them.
  • Yeah, my Patch and Hood aren't high enough, so that method's out. I managed to beat them once or twice with lucky tile falls that let me pull off enough Storm combos to clear strike tiles and countdown. My problem with OBW healing is I only have 4 blue covers (sad kitten in snow) so I can't heal unless I clear off all countdowns. That's really killing me.

    Yeah, I know, why no matter what covers I get, I throw them onto my characters and I'll switch them out when I get better. I know they say levels don't affect PvP, but does anyone know if it'll affect PvE and scaling?

    WHOO HOO!! There are now ingame chats!!
  • I hadn't even thought about PVE scaling. I just assumed it was an all around thing that hit everyone the same. And four blue covers is very sad icon_e_sad.gif

    Ingame chat? Really?! I didn't see it before work this morning so I'm super excited to get home now.
  • Yeah, the update happened less than an hour ago. We can now see the progress of people in alliances and there's an in game chat. This is really exciting! Only drawback is that I can't use swype while typing in them for some reason. It doesn't register the swiping motion, so I have to write messages letter by letter. Much slower. And there's no alerts that I know of.

    So.... which is easier, Rag/Venom or Bullseye/Daken? They're both at 230 right now, and I can't decide which one to attempt suicide on for the points. I need them. I can -maybe- make top 50 if I do without both nodes, but I don't like such risky things when there's two flaming covers on the line. XD
  • i make both use thor, obw and storm 2 star, both are ultra easy

    i m now rank 1 temporary but go to bed now good luck to all of you.

    hope i can stay top 50
  • Sounds like a good update! I can't wait to check it out.

    Yeah, I definitely want top 50 for those covers. I've been working hard and keep getting top 5 for the PVP tournaments. I just wanna get top 10 to get those covers! As for which node to run, maybe the Rags/Venom. You just need to take out the muscle real quick and keep venom from getting blacks. One devour can destroy any of your characters. OBW helps quite a bit with that. Rags is laughable at best. Daken/Bullseye take just as much management because of strike and protect tiles. You don't have to mess with skills there, but those things can quickly build up. Either takes careful management. Take OBW into either of them, she is a necessity.
  • I never thought about taking out the muscle first. I always tried to take out the two PCs first since those guys actually do damage. Maybe I should try that for my next attempt.

    I managed to get through the nodes again today with a stun lock and boosts, put me into #1 position for a short while. XD It didn't last, not that I expected it to.
  • Yeah the hard part is always figuring out who to kill first. I took him out first because of the tiles that he generates. I typically do Bullseye first because of those dang protect tiles. I focus heals, generation, and then protection depending on who the opponents are.

    The limited list for the Venom Heroic is going to force use to change our usual teams. No healer, limited stun ability (like IM35), and Bagman on the list icon_lol.gif (they had to put some variation of Spidey against Venom I guess).

    If the boost on Torch is +100 levels like on the previous one, I guess I will use him with Wolverine 85 and Psylocke 90 as they are my highest levelled on the list. No purple skill but there are not that much on that list. I get some Iso to spend so I may level Psylocke a little more or try to level BP to 50 to have more possiblities for rotation between heroes when wounded.
  • It's the Venom Heroic out already? I don't see it in my events...

    But I don't know if they will allow Psylock, they locked out a lot of characters last time. I ask hoping for boosted 2* Hawkeye. Lay time he worked miracles and never needed healing. Hide him behind Daken or Wolvie and I won't need a healer for most fights.

    I opened a ticket regarding my crashing problem. I'm surprised they replied in 24 hours.

    Bad if good PvP is going to be a real pain. Only Dark Avengers authorized. My highest is Ares 50 and most of the others are unleveled. I can level one or two but I am unsure it is worth the while.
  • Likewise... I have only three in total, Daken, Ares, and a Lvl 6 Bullseye. I kept him low for tanking purposes since I only have 4 covers for him. If I go into this tournament, I'll probably be going on two characters alone.
  • Hmmmm. What's the best build for Ares? Right now I have 3/5/5... and hold an extra green cover. I'm trying to decide to leave it as is, or boost it to 4/4/5.
  • My Ares is 4/4/5 and it's a great build. Does 4 green increase the damage? If so, I'd definitely apply that 4th cover. I'd rank his skills green>yellow>red in usefulness, but 5 green is pretty much pointless.

    I feel Daken is worth leveling, so if you have the covers, you might want to dump some iso into him.
  • I don't usaully browse the alliance forum but currently bored so thought I would stop by and say hi as I was part of this alliance once upon a time with breezer. I do keep a lookout for you guys to see how your doing. Ares is a unique character, all his skills can be useful given the circumstances or team. Mine is 4/5/4 rampage becomes useful when paired with patch and if ares has taken some damage and is at 30% it's basically a game ender. I wouldn't invest in daken however with the pending lazy version at 3*. Ares is a better investment as he is buffed in quite a few events and tournaments. Anyways Keep it up guys hope to see you in those top spots in the not to distant future.

    This event is strange. i lose 100 ranks or more during the night and climb up again in the top10 in 4 wins. There is too little difference between people; first time I see it happen so much. Maybe I just have a hard bracket.

    This **** with tokens is tarting to get on my nerves though. Only two 3 stars in more than 40 tokens, when you supposedly have around 15% chances to get one! And furthermore one of those one was a Ragnarok. ****.

    I haven't got any 3* in more than 50 tokens and only few 2* covers which all have been useless shait like bagman. So, my situation is that I don't have much that I could raise levels anymore. I guess they didn't get enough microtransactions so they changed the code more into P2W.

    ...and the very next cover I got, was 3* black panther! Mayby I should complain more often icon_e_smile.gif
  • IMO the best Ares build is 5 yellow 4 in the other 2. 5th Green just lets you use 5 as a minimum for onslaught rather than 6 which is rarely an issue since you generally get AP in 3s. As for 5th red it involves being pretty damned dead to get the boost and it doesn't increase the threshold by all that much.

    He's a good hero though. Arguably better than 2* Thor and if he had a 3* lazy version i'd put effort into getting and levelling him.

    EDIT: I should probably say why I think Ares is good icon_e_smile.gif.

    Basically his damage per AP is pretty amazing. Mine's 85 and his green is just over 200 per AP and pretty flexible in how you can use it, his yellow is just over 2k initial damage then just under 700 on the timer and his red is ok at 750 dmg to entire enemy team or 1.5k if you're nearly dead.

    Very few heroes can manage that kind of damage per AP and, while his yellow and green have down sides they aren't bad enough to be an issue IMO.

    He was actually just about the first hero I got to 85 (him and OBW)
