Knowing when to climb, when to shield, who to hit, and who to fight are 3/4s of 5* success.The game morphs and changes at the 5* tier. its less about your team and roster and much more about your understanding on how the other 5* players in your shard will react to whatever move you make.I enjoy 5* pvp more than any other game mode precisely because your fighting with other meta savy players who also have access to the same tools you have.To get to T5 in competitive brackets with 1500+ scoring is really a statement on how well you leverage your allies to boost your score and how effectively you impede the process of your enemies.Sometimes you have to sacrifice your placements, points, resources, preferred play style to help your alliance partners with an eye towards long term success.
FokaiHI said: I am kind of shocked with how much you participate in the forums that this would have caught you off guard. Did you just decide "I'm going 5*"? I am grateful with your post though. It reminds me why I remain in the 4* tier. There is no rush.

Maybe I shouldn't feel so about my hawkeye as my lone 5* champion then 5-Hawk/Coulson is the fresh new hotness. It's incredibly frustrating to fight against. Strange makes mincemeat out of Hawkeye.Yes please, fire those arrows, multiples per round, please.

Wasn't it coded in way that each ability is only cast once per turn?

Rhycar said: As a 5* player, I can sympathize with your plight. If there's one way I can see that would be a positive for making the 5* jump in this phase of MPQ's life, it would be to hoard LT/CP until you have hundreds of pulls available, wait until the latest three 5* don't suck (hint: not right now) and make sure you have the 1.5 million or so ISO to immediate level them all. And I do recommend Line for any 5* player. The community, learned strategies and friendships are worth it. If you're already on the forums, you clearly care about the game enough to discuss it and generate ideas on gameplay. An active alliance that uses Line just accelerates that. Best of luck to you.

That sounds absolutely terrible. I installed MPQ because I wanted some match-3 goofiness combined with some superhero collecting, not time and opportunity-based chess matches. I guess all my 5* (and I think I've finally gotten at least 1 cover of all of them) will just stay at 255 forever.

Best of luck to you. fwiw, I'm here on the forums to figure out general how to use my characters best, talk about a game I like, and stuff like that. I'm relatively newer to the forum, but I only have so much of my life for this game to take up - posting here is pretty casual. So for me, it's a rather *large* jump from posting on the forum to the kind of investment you're talking about with using line and pre-planning matches for PVP, and 5-star land, etc. Which is pretty much to say, I agree with the poster directly above me, and being here in the forum is in no way an indicator of ever wanting more than... general info and community light.

Jarvind said: OJSP said: OP, which slice were you playing in? Perhaps it's a dry slice. Nah, I had the same thought. I used to play in 2 which I know is a weird one, so I tried 1 and 4 as well - not quite as bad but still pretty brutal once I get above 600 or so. I assume part of the issue is that I'm not using the cookie-cutter Thanos/Panther team that everyone else is using - I know I immediately hit anyone not using that team, both for variety and because I don't get slapped back every time Thanos's passive stuns Panther.
