Polarity's Comprehensive Guide on Going From 1* to 3* mentions some great teams.

Captain America (Steve Rogers) + The Hood (AP generation, stun, and speed in long games)
Patch + C. Mags (speed and strike tile spamming)
Punisher + C. Mags (speed and strike tile spamming)
LazyThor + Black Panther (tanks with high-level attacks)

MN Mags + C. Storm (AP generation and stun)
Thor + C. Storm

Spiderman + Venom (Stun and instant kill)

When you're forced to use a character that you don't like much, who are the other two that you bring in to really carry the battle? Who are your favorite duos? I like all of these teams.

    LT + Hood: expensive devastation made cheaper.

    LT + CMags: I'm running this instead of LT + BP, since CMags has a spammable cascade-friendly red, has no abilities on LT's yellow & green, and has a devastating purple which can sometimes creep up on people.

    Punisher + OBW: strike tile synergy - double-hit via Espionage, acceleration via Recon.
  • Before I had a 3* over 100 I played almost everything with OBW/Wolvie. Cheap repeatable strike tiles with espionage is devastating.

    Now I'm usually running 141 Lazyshield with OBW. Lose the strike tile synergy but most PVP matches I'll come out barely damage, and often full health.

    I have l'il punny foo foo up to his cover cap of 102 at 3/2/5, so once I've got more green I'll probably often run him and cap together. They were great together in the punisher tournament, especially with OBW.

    Loki + Patch! Getting out six vicious strike tiles, then creating six hefty protect tiles with Loki is a lot of fun. Even better if you can save up to use Patch Green then Patch Red, then Loki Black .
  • Right now, I'm going Patch/Mag all the way in PVP. I mostly try to avoid this combo in PVE, because I'm trying to avoid too much scaling.

    If it is a PvP with having to use a loan character my go to team is C.Mags and Thor. Mags blue is really spammable for constant use or just laying out protects for Thor to last longer while saving up the AP to use Mags purple. Fairly good colour coverage for just 2 members and between them enough health points to scare away the newer players.
  • Hulk fills up GSBW's sniper rifle. Then... BOOM!!!

    I've leveled up my Hulk, Punisher and CMags is 135 ATM, but I still can never get away from the simple beauty of Spidey + GSBW.

    Start by matching blue & purple, using match damage to get enemies to ~3100. With incidental green pickup or environmental tiles, one use of GSBW's purple us usually enough for a 10k+ damage sniper rifle.
  • Patch uses his green to create lots of strike tiles
    Loki converts all the given strike tiles to shields.

    Instant combo of huge strike and shield tiles.

    Thor and Modern storm is just as good if not better than thor and classic storm.

    Also Jonny Storm and Ben Grimm
  • Batman & Robin? icon_mrgreen.gif
  • Lazy Thor and Classic Mags for me. I don't spam Mags Red so I leave that for Thor to smash people with. Yellow and Green go to Thor, while Blue and Purple go to Mags. Really good coverage for a 2 man team, and both are capable of destroying opponents in double-quick time. Just 16 levels on C Mags to go until they're both 141 as well.

    I've been trying this team out, but I've been just wishing that LT was Punisher whenever I play them on offense. I do use the team occasionally so that I'm not as good of a retaliation target, but matches just feel a lot slower when you don't have 48 env AP crits.

    Yeah, it can be a little slow on occasions, but if you get a decent board with blues on it, I priortise them first, then use Mags blue to generate several match 4/5's which usually generate a fair amount of AP. With luck, I'm only a match or two away from a Thor Thunder Strike, which of course leads into a Call The Storm. That pretty much ends the match as a challenge, with 2 characters with marginal health left to clean up. I'd certainly not say it was a lot slower than the Patch/Mags team I used to use, and it's a lot safer as well.

    lately i enjoyed fielding a Lcap/LT team.. not the more conventionnal duo but its a lot of fun..so many options to go with.. red for cap (best red in the gm imho), green and yellow for thor and u can even use cap blue if you want.. the downside is you have to use obw if you want a rainbow team.. (u can go with 2 *daken but its not even an option as of now.. maybe with his lazy version)..

    Even OBW wouldn't give you the rainbow as you would still have nothing using the black. loki would be a better choice for the rainbow, oh no wait, he's **** icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Why isnt it an option to use 2* Daken any more? Have they removed him from the game? If you mean you cant use him because a newer version has been announced then I dont understand, he is still the same and very useful in a number of situations, seems churlish to write him off already.

    Also in response to DaveyPitch i dont care how much AP you generate with Magneto you will never get enough to get a Lightning Strike from Thor. C'mon man, even my 6 year old son can tell you what everybody's powers are and what colour they are lol

    If by dynamic duo you mean fast teams with good synergy to boot, that's Pun + oBW or Pun + cMags for me (my Patch lacks covers). The glory of Pun + cMags is also that they can take out absolutely anyone - LT, Hulk, BP, Patch, you name it. Not for long perhaps, but it was good while it lasted.

    I think it's painfully obvious I meant Thunder Strike, so thanks for being an **** about it.

    You're welcome icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I wasnt trying to be offensive, lighten up and take friendly ribbing in the spirit it was intended, you actually talk alot of sense in these forums and i would not insult you on purpose.
