    0_0 I dunno what happened but no one hit on me long enough for me to finally climb to 1100. Thanks everyone not hitting on me and thanks to the Ladder for juicy points (I presumed you were gonna shield so hopefully you were shielded for my final retal).

    That's my very first 1100 progression reward, yippie!
    Feel free to smack on me now but I'm gonna maintain my bracket ranking during the end of the tourney!

    Yes. I got past 1200 and shielded, so no danger. That Hood lineup was trickier than much meatier opponents, in fairness.

    I know, and it keeps encouraging everyone to smack me, so win-win I suppose.

    Edit: thanks Bee! How come we're not in the same bracket? xD

    Good, then I don't have to feel bad for those juicy 45 I got off the retal icon_e_smile.gif

    Never feel bad. There's no room for human emotions past 1000 lol.
  • well tried again, not happening, i give up. got 2 matches where the other guy got **** cascades on the first turn in a row. feel free to beat on me, though i got hit twice in 6 minutes being unshielded anyways, so it's whatever.
  • Lol locked I joined hotshot outside of my usual GMT time. Don't look like I have any usual suspects in my bracket but people are pushing.

    I know how you feel. My goal was 900 for the HP which I got to surprisingly quickly so I decided to keep going. Got to 1054 before the beatdown began, haha. So close.

    Congrats to locked!
  • Hit 900 last night and shielded for the rest. I'll end up actually losing HP on this one with the 24 hour shield, but won't have too much time to play during parts of the day today. That was good enough for second last night, hit a bunch overnight on retaliations but won a few, so with the shield I went up. Was nice.

    And damn - congrats Bee for breaking 1300.
  • man i think its going to be hard for me to get 1100 im going over to my cousins house later unles i can steal her wifi to get on. And now high level players are attacking me .-. can't believe how competitive this is. Stop picking on me just because my guys aren't in the 70s people i can't afford to pay to win all the time lol dont even have enough HP to shield myself
  • I've gotta get back into this event this afternoon. Been to distracted by the Falcon one. Hoping I can somehow get up to 1100 points, but I kinda doubt it. icon_lol.gif

    ^ Guys, you should be working on your 2*s, I am not sure why, but jumping from 1*s straight to 3* isn't very good. Something to do with missing a lot of game mechanics. Of course it doesn't mean that you shouldn't take 3* rewards if they are within adequate reach. 1000 pts and higher is by no means easily doable even for some more developed rosters. At this rank, you cannot sit without being attacked every few minutes, so you either spend some on shielding or have a roster scary enough to deter attacks/fast enough to do the necessary matches quick. I got lucky because my retals came just a few seconds too late after I grabbed the progression. Pretty sure 2* rosters can do that too but with heavy shielding.

    Bee, impressive score. To infinity and beyond!

    wel to be honest two of my two stars can only go up to level 38 and i only have 25 hero points so i can't shield myself so its pointless. My storm classic is stuck at level 16 and my thor marvel now will be stuck at level 17 once i get him there.

    LIke i said, I cant afford to keep buying hero points and isos.

    I'm not sure if this was directed at me singly or as part of a group, but I wanted to respond. Obviously I have to improve my 2* Characters since it'll be a while before I have fully covered 3* characters, but I guess I'm not sure exactly what you mean. I have to aim for the higher rewards so I can get more HP and Iso-8. It's not like I'm going to go into this event just aiming for a Green CStorm cover, especially since my CStorm is already 5/5/3. So not trying for the higher tier rewards would just end up in me getting a Cover I'd have to sell for not very much Iso-8.

    I don't want to seem rude or anything, I guess I'm just not sure if I'm understanding what you mean.

    Rich, you're perfectly alright then if your cStorm is complete.
    Pamizard on the other hand could get a cover she needs for her classic Storm which is going to be very useful starting from now rather than a 3* cover. If you only can make it to a single Punisher cover range, and 2 cover range is top 10, a single 2* cover you actually need might turn out more useful. You'll get a loaner Punisher in his tourney with the same single cover (colours may vary but it doesn't matter much for a single cover, it's simply another AP outlet).

    Congrats locked! I quit last night before I got to 1000 then had a lot of trouble sleeping. I puzzle quest bc I can't sleep and I can't sleep bc I puzzle quest! icon_e_sad.gif

    Anyways...woke up to a mix of wins and defeats but slapped down sub 800 again. Amd worst of all I overslept the end of Florida! So I missed out on those sweet modern hawkeye covers I was gonna get from the tokens (sarcasm)

    I'll keep playing for the ISO since I don't need red or black punisher but I doubt I'll get there in this tourney. Maybe next one, my punishers pretty strong. Maybe he can finally defeat mstorm in the desert! Wait no, no one can mstorm in desert. NO ONE

    ^ lol, but Punisher ain't too shabby himself in Desert with his high Environment strength. Add a crit maker and you're golden. Not Fathor golden, but pretty golden.

    It just breaks my hurt to see a lvl 50 character and not want to hit them bc they're in the bottom right and I know they'll just hit me back harder. Damn you math! Sorry I take it back. Love you math

    Now to sift through my retals to see if locked just saw me or hit me. You didn't specify young lady! icon_razz.gif
