Heroic Venom PvE Discussion Thread 4/10 - 4/17

I hate Heroic Mode. I will never ever enjoy it. It's like trying to slay a dragon with a butter knife and a spatula.

I mainly like the heroic events because I can join in the last day and get all the rewards and place well, with minimal effort. Especially since PAX is this weekend.

Hey! how did you rate a butter knife? ...I only have a spatula - with a hole in it....

I've stared at the team options for this event for far too long and the only way I can see anyone doing well is with a levelled Torch. With the massive buff he has, his red will be a one hit kill on pretty much anyone. Funny that! It's almost like Demiurge are encouraging people to purchase additional covers for Human Torch, because at the moment, no one really has more than 1 of each cover from the last PvE event... I have a BP 141, but even with him without a buff, it's going to be hard work. Also, the only way to really control the board and deal with countdown timers is with Storm, but she will wipe out BP's, Psylocke's, and HT's strike and attack tiles! There just isn't a team that fits from this bunch they given us!

I just wanted to throw this thought out there. What if Spider-man was a playable character in this event, BUT mid event they nerfed him. How would we feel about that?

Honestly, I just wanted an excuse to say.

We Riot.

This event is pooping all over me. And that's not a good feeling....for most people. But others like that, so the internet says.

Well look at that, the blue Cap colour is yet again an alliance only reward....
Lets hear it for rotations.

My contempt for Heroic events remains undiminished. What a terrible, terrible event.

Unknown

This is something I've never said before, but this event is so amazing stupid that I turned the game off. That may not sound like a big deal, but for someone who has endured almost every **** trial thrown out so far and STILL persisted, it is. I actually downloaded another puzzle game so I can enjoy my evening without being frustrated. I'm very disappointed at this cash grab.

Mission accomplished?

This Heroic Event focuses on the least heroic characters in my lineup.

My best team is a 'roided out Lvl 105 Human Torch (w/ green flame jet ability), Lvl 30 Bag-Man, and Lvl 30 Astonishing Wolverine.

The best i can hope for is that this event will keep the rest of you folks too occupied to attack me back while i muddle through the S.H.I.E.L.D. Simulator progression grind.

Also, I want to call **** on the Human Torch taking damage from a Flamethrower. Come on now.

My HT has been killed by flamethowers twice now. And nothing else! Venom has hurt him, but never killed him. It's just flamethrowers. They seem to be the main bane for Human Torch, making me think he might be vulnerable to fire.

The green ability on Human torch buffed is lots of fun. A bit wild. Sometimes useless. I like it. I wish he were a bit beefier.

You're mistaken. You'll need a levelled HT AND plenty of boosts. Remember those things that were increased in price so people wouldn't depend on them?

I have a 141 BP and a 107 HT and I still had to sit there and watch Venom & Co. keep me perma-stunned 95% of the round. Oh, I beat him -- barely -- but all I could think about is this same team at level 400, when boosting and a purchased HT was pretty much required at level 100. Left a foul taste in my mouth.

I'll try again tomorrow and see how I feel, but this has really made me question their motives. Its one thing to want to remain profitable, it's another thing altogether to take advantage of your customers.

man im at like 17 now and now i get called to work in the day ;-; if only i dont have to sub at a middle school tomorrow

now i might sneak my tablet into school and try to steal the school's wifi to try to work on keeping my rank up!!!

on the bright side i used three recruit tokens, and luckly enough, i can level iron man up 5 levels, and storm up to 45 now. i need an alternate way to grab iso while my team is healing from this event....

Venom + purple generator so far seems an entire tier above any other encounter in this event so far. For once, Daken is not the strongest guy out there. Defense Grid actually does a pretty good job at stopping Daken's strike tiles too.

It took me like 5 tries to finally beat the two Venom missions with purple generators and I don't think having a high level HT would've made that much of a difference, simply because most of the time you're still stunned. His green won't help much because even if you get it off you'll be stunned most of the time, so you'd need have a good fireball off very early. If you have 10 black for inferno you can just go for a Rage of the Panther, which ought to be more reliable overall.

Little-known fact: Torch is based on a child deity in Chinese mythology, Nezha. He's kind of a ****, has mad fighting skills, and rollerskates in the sky using magical fire wheels on his bare feet. In Journey to the West, the Monkey King, a wise-cracking trickster (Spiderman?), defeats Nezha by burning his feet with a conjured pair of fake fire wheels, literally fighting fire with fire.... and kung-fu with a magic staff, which clearly means Torch's other weakness is Daredevil.

Looks like this is the excuse to finally put those last few levels into MHawk and MStorm, since I don't have **** for Psy or BP covers...sigh.
