    Serious question: Any thoughts about powering up Bag-Man for one of these events?
    Given that he doesn't have any damaging or abilities, all that would do is boost his Color Strengths and HP, making him get hit more often. Bag-Man gets it enough as it is, do you *really* want him to be a magnet for every stray Sniper Rifle or Unskilled Pistol out there?

    Yes, actually, yes I do. Bag-Man deserves to suffer.

    Bagman's health is his best attribute. I'm not too proud to use him as a damage sink.

    They should up the Health Pack supply to about 20 for this event...They're gonna be needed.
  • If there's no healers/stunners/broken mana combos (Doubt there will be jungle and desert nodes) then the event will be playable as scaling will not be insane like ISO8.

    Will participate but not grind. Probably get somewhere in the process.

    Still hope Bagman is not in that list, and even if he is better not be required. He is one of the 5 covers I refuse to spend hp for to expand my slots. The other four are one stars.

    Maybe health packs can replace the obligatory crit boosts in every node?
  • I struggle with heroic events and I struggle with 1* events. I am going to struggle with this event.

    Yup, Rags gets to be beat on for a few days. I've had to switch from the Venom mission to the level 115 Rags mission to heal. I was downing Venom before I could heal my team, now Rags gets to be the health punching bag.
  • Anybody else rid themselves of bagman and are now kicking themselves for doing so?..... Yeah that's what I thought icon_e_smile.gif

    I, for one, do not regret selling every Bagman cover I've ever gotten and I never will. icon_e_smile.gif

    You cannot ask that with a straight face.

    Bag-Man: "Now who's got the 'Kick Me!' sign on their back, huh? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!"
  • Yay. I've got Astonishing Wolverine and BP at my current max level (81), and Psylocke is in the process of being raised to 79, so I'll have a decent team.

    So crazy idea, but is it possible that bagman is actually playable in this event? My roster for the event is
    Iron Man (Model 35) - level 30
    Storm (Modern) - level 30
    Wolverine (Astonishing) - level 85
    Hawkeye (Modern) - level 6
    Spider-Man (Bag-Man) - level 6
    Black Panther - level 141
    Psylocke - level 51
    Human Torch - Powered Up - level 10.

    BP should obviously be the main focus of my team, but who am I to pair up with him? Storm seems like an obvious choice to abuse battleplan, so I think she deserves a slot, but who would the third be? Hawkeye/Psylocke/IM35/HT are too low leveled to be useful and I'm not leveling them up since I need to save iso for lazythor's college food fund, so that leaves us with A. Wolvie / Bagman. A. Wolvie gives me a damage outlet for green/red when I don't need storms AP generation, but I'm sort of intrigued by bagman. He covers purple/blue and yellow if im desperate, and his abilities seem more relevant when dealing with goons.... I dunno, he might be put into the rotation.

    Well, I for one am looking forward to the comic packs for this event: BP, Psyke, AND HT in one grouping? I'll spend some HP!

    Hmmm...

    Yeah, if it only has the listed characters, I might spend some HP, since I don't have enough covers to do much of anything with any of those 3*s. At least last time they had IM40 (any maybe baglady? I forget)

    That poor goat... /NotOutYetDisclaimer The pack is currently 2*+ Featured Only with a Triple on Human Torch for the 10x and around 5% for a 3*.
  • so wait only human torch is powered up? shame i onl have flame jet at level one. And good thing I have IM 35 and Storm Modern in their early 20s. Should probably get iron man worked on.

    On the other hand, it might be better to just buy 2 torch covers
