    Just got that reward myself, got his Blue ability 'Ballistic Salvo' which takes 20 blue to trigger (such a long process). Crazy thing is we won't be getting another free Model 40 token till 1200 which I will probably not be able to achieve during the rest of the tournament. Its nice to have a new model in the yard tho.

    How many people are sitting out of this tournament? I'm ranked top 10, and even after a full night's sleep, was still ranked top 10.

    Normally this would be exciting, but I want to finish 25-50 to get some more Thor covers.
  • For anyone reading this, now might be a good time to push for the 800 point progression award (100 Hero Points).

    I just came back to check out my status, had a pile of messages from earlier, managed to pick my way up to 800 using a mixture of retaliations and random matches, must have won 15 matches with only one hit taken. Can't push to 1000 yet as not enough people 800+ to take points from yet. So feel free to smack me while I bide my time icon_twisted.gif


    I managed to get to around 920 before being brought back down to 700.
  • I hope enough people play so that 1000 is reachable icon_neutral.gif

    I'm at around 480 right now and refuse to play more. I'm ranked around 15th in my bracket. This is a sad weekend tourney.

    Guessing we have to use the token before the tournament is over right?
  • WOOWEE, i claimed the 500 hero points at 1000, and literally right after i claimed it, it says, "YOU"VE BEEN ATTACKED BY RANZERA"

    thank you ranzera for taking one second longer to kill me.
  • Thank you to all the Americans for being asleep right now and letting me grab 1000 points!

    Alas, I don't think 1100 is going to be achievable yet, would have really liked another yellow Spidey.

    EDIT: I got smacked for 55 while I made this post, looks like some of you weren't asleep after all icon_e_smile.gif That's definitely the end of my push, time to sit in my cave and lick my wounds again.
  • I got to 1100 but won't be pushing for 1200, the retaliations have begun lol.
  • 1022......back to 900 now...
  • Just got to 1100, not enough health packs to make the next push. But happy to upgrade my spidey icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Apologies to anyone i took some points off, feel free to grab them back now, im done playing for the night.

    I got to 1000 last night, too. Then very much woke up to 200 lost points, but that was to be expected. I just hope everybody got their retaliations in now and aren't saving them for the end of the tourney.
  • Finally reached 900, hope to get to 1000 before it's time for bed and the 300+ rating drop until end of tournament
  • To be honest, I will miss playing with environmental tiles when the tournament is over icon_e_sad.gif Now that I mastered their use, they are so much fun icon_mrgreen.gif

    I think there could an a character that would have normally gain of 5 or 6 for environmental tiles with their skill revolving around them e.g. skill changing tiles into env tiles. Storm would be perfect for this spot, but we already have 2 versions of her and I sadly do not know any other appropriate characters for that.
    However, first some of environmental skill would need improvement, even as simple as scalability e.g. %HP healed instead of fixed amount, dmg based on average level of characters, etc.

    An example of super-gain of environmental AP (pity this one happened on last move):

    And my new favourite skill - 'Forest Fire' - in it's full beauty:

  • Shikao, that's hilarious.

    Just tried for 1100, got to 1080 and then started losing ground faster than I could make it. Still might be do-able with one last push later, but think it's going to get brutal soon. Well done to everyone that hit it already!
  • man, got to 1110 using a retaliation, come out of the screen, dropped to 1070 cuz i got retaliated by shuino (i'm sorry shuino, i had to use u for my push qq), then destroyed someone really quickly for 15, then used shuino's retaliation to vault over 1100 and pick up a spidey! i know shuino was playing so used him as my last needed and prayed no one else hit me.

    i know shuino's gonna push me down now haha
  • Should not be a problem I'm away for more than 8 hours you guys can't reach 1100 ?

    I've actually used Forest Fire and the Winter version before this tournament -- they're effectively game ending, between the huge chains they create and the AP they generate.

    What really peeves me off is the complete and utter brokenness of IM in the tournament right now. Because of whatever they broke in the buff I don't get the massive Environment buffs unless Wolverine dies. Even though Iron Man Mk40 has the highest environ match (with buff) and he's in the center (without buff he has the same as the others) he doesn't get selected for the match. If I use someone other than Wolverine then IM gets priority, but with my current characters the only real options I have are c Storm or 1* characters. And using c Storm is a great way to lose huge numbers of points in retaliation (and she's so much higher than my other characters she ends up tanking...)

    think a bunch of us made the push to 1100, the push to 1200 is rough tho, currently, i don't think unless u have a godlike team, you can make that push.

    i'd say later on it might be possible, but with everyone getting ready for the last push in <12 hours, it might be even harder

    I'm going to bomb my way thought in the last 7 hours, so I have gave my early notification first. Don't get a shock when you have point down rapidly. I do own a Godlike team XP
