Anyone using Hood, Hulk, OBW?

Unknown

Have some iso and thinking about who to level. I was playing with roster combinations and I started thinking about leveling Hood and Hulk. It seems to have all of the elements. Tank, support in healing, denial, and steal. I just don't remember seeing anyone run this team out. I'd think the only downside is long matches, but it seems like a hell of a defensive team. I do have a 141 Punisher too, so maybe I level Hood and wait on Hulk? Thoughts?

I'm currently running hood spidey and either punisher or modern Thor and it's quite a good team. With the longer matches hood really shines now. Only thing I would watch out for is obw deception will become pretty useless once hood passes her in 2 colours.

Hulk works best with patch combination. Quick battle and mostly guarantee win the match but need a lot of health pack for healing hulk. Now working on second hulk.

Yeah. I don't think I'd want any part of that either.

That makes no sense.

How would you guys feel about facing Hood/OBW/Punisher? I'm trying out the combination; liking them on offense so far, not sure how they'd fare on defense.

The Hood + OBW is vulnerable to OBW since you can just steal whatever AP The Hood stole with AR, though on the high end a lot of people are reluctant to use OBW due to she perceived as weak at the high end.

The easiest way to deal with the above combination is just use a match +50% to your 2 strongest colors and then you don't have to worry about whatever they're stealing. Unless they get incredibly lucky on blue tiles you can simply match 3 your way and kill both The Hood and OBW, and I suspect most people don't use match +50% boosts very often so this is a perfect time to put them to good use.

That said I probably wouldn't bother with The Hood + OBW either because there are plenty of teams I can win 100% of the time and come out with full health or nearly full health even without Spiderman so there's really no reason to take a chance. The difference in HP is pretty much cosmetic due to all the infinite combos you can pull. Patch and Magneto can often kill 3 level 230 guys in one turn once they hit a certain threshold of AP so this means you're actually not getting much by fighting low HP opponents, since you still need a critical mass of AP (9g for Berserker Rage + some amount of red/blue to ensure you can zap the other side enough times).

hood max blue is nightmare. so annoying and i want him max blue so bad. the only team i skipped is when hood max blue is present

My "A" team is a:

118 Hood - 5/5/3
141 Hulk - 5/5/3
141 Magneto(Classic) - 3/5/5

Placing my Hulk in the center means he matches green, black, red, purple, that's 4 out of the 6 colors. Magneto only gets in front for blue matches. Hood only gets in front for yellow matches

Basically my Hulk tanks the whole match so only one health pack is needed after the match.

All three characters can trigger cascades (Hulk green, Magneto red, Hood yellow), which helps get rid of those pesky Strike, Countdown, Attack, Web... tiles.
Cascades also generate HP when matches happen plus they help you shake up a **** board

Magneto's blue ability can override any tile
Hood's twin pistols can clear 18 tiles, plus generates AP, and the turn does not end
Hood's blue feeds the team, steal 2 red and Magneto's red is ready to cascade

Also with this team I have all colors covered, so all matches you make are always feeding someone:
Green - Hulk
Red - Magneto/Hulk
Blue - Magneto
Purple - Magneto
Black - Hood
Yellow - Hood

Granted this team is not the fastest by any means, but I'm certain it is faster than a Hood/Hulk/OBW team, the advantage of OBW is ending the match with a full health team if you can get some heals off

You can always swap out Hulk for Patch, I know I may do that on offense once I get more Patch covers and I'll keep Hulk on defense

Feel free to attack me and let me know if you find my team annoying, I don't get attacked that much for some reason and when I do it's usually a Spiderman team

I had some defensive success with Hood/Spidey/GSBW tonight. I'm assuming the opponents focused on Hood/Spidey which gave time for GSBW to fuel up for her sniper.
