    Hey wyp...If you feel like not going for first this time, it'd be much appreciated! icon_e_smile.gif

    Have a shield expiring in 15 min, so I'm doing one more match to put me over 1100, but after that I'm shielding out, so it's yours for the taking after that!

    Hulk is finally working as intented. During this tourney my lvl 186 Psy + maxed Patch and Hulk was only hit about 6 times. And I was unshielded for the first >2 days.

    Now I was shield hopping, but not one attack came for the last 4hrs.

    Sure, they made Spidey useless. But this way they fixed defence.

    Time to bed.

    Feel like thats more of a function of your high level Psy than Hulk: replace him with LazyThor and I think you'd see the same results icon_e_wink.gif
    Honestly - I skip Hulks. I never skip LThors. But it's because of my team composition.

    Anyway, I'm having fun - boost +3green/black, collect 6green + 3 black, launch Zerker, then Psy black, deal 2x >1k dmg per turn.

    Betsy's hp is enough for 2-3 fights, then Hulk tanks and the Anger extravaganza begins.

    Im so happy that im in an really easy bracket. I have one cover daken, only with healing. Got to get it better. Only one in my top ten is shielded, that is the first one, only with 687 points. For top ten you have to have 400 points. Crazy! Before I have been bracketed with guys with 141 heroes, and a really hard work to be even in top 50. But now everyone in top ten has only max 85heroes, just like me. And i havent even seen any bigger psylockes yet, only loanerss, mine is with boost over 90 icon_e_biggrin.gif So this time I think I have a chance to do really well! So happy. Got to go play more!

    I never got attacked when I dropped shield and reshielded a bunch in the last event and I definitely should have seen some attacks, I only used the starter daken. I'm pretty sure they have a chance to glitch out and not put you back in the pool when you break.

    I shielded at 1100. Apologies to Sucram for the doubletap, but I attack Über Daken on sight when I know that he can only produce one strike tile.

    Both Season 1 and Spider-nerf have taken their toll. Although Prologue healing is still possible, it takes a lot longer than previously and I think the change in behaviour now is the result of players realising/understanding that they just can't play the way they used to.
    I think a high level Psylocke is a much bigger deterrent in this tournament than a high level Hulk or Thor, at least, it is for me. Also, based purely on my own experience, I was getting sniped from people on much relatively lower points when I had Hulk in my team than when I had Punisher in my team (and the only defensive wins have been from the Punisher team as well).

    I'm currently rank #1 with 959 points. The cutoff for #10 in my bracket is 835 points. I'm shielded now, but I want that #1 placement, so I'll keep an eye on any movement.

    You only need to collect Yellow now to get the bulk of Spidey's healing power. Fighting the final Venom node usually lets you perform at least one full heal. Venom's web tiles still work in place of Spidey's and you do not have to waste a slot with him in your roster.

    2* players are hosed.

    EDIT: Buffed Psylocke and Lazy Thor completely tank for C. Mags at max level.. I look forward to fighting these three EVERY TIME when they run this again.

    Prologue healing is still tedious though. I just did this one in bursts to let health packs regenerate and it seems to have worked well enough. Once you get to the point where you're shielding, attacking, and reshielding it might be worth it to work in some prologue healing.

    I find the Call Him Ragnarok node in Dark Avengers far more effective for prologue healing now - with obw of course. I can get 1-2 solid heals in even when running max level characters

    Tinykitty miracle cascades!

    Hood and OBW are annoying at the best of times but when they just keep cascading stuff they're almost impossible to stop. Passive theft and AR every second turn? I never had a chance icon_evil.gif

    (I think it annoyed me more than normal because I'd just fought my way up to 5th and this was going to be the last before I shielded to the end - now I'll have to recharge and break out for some more points.)

    ok i give up

    im getting my butt handed to me at the end and now i have no chance getting daken's covers. I am out of health packs. I have only 25 HP

    I give up. The only way I can get top ranks is if i have two 85s. I give up im going to end up with a cover I dont need. d3 is a pain in my butt right now

    Had to shield @800 cuz o ran out of heals and kept getting ticky tacky -40s. That's what I get for waiting so long. Mhee. I could buy hp for hp... ...... But I don't want to play into thier hands. So ill just stay put and get a single cover (my alliance is all messed the heck up right now between inactives, a commander not playing.for a week and we don't know the deal, ndend of seasons quits, etc). I won't be using dakan anyway, so ill prob just stay where I am. I have a feeling we see him 1-2 more times this season as a reward anyway.

    On the other side I only spent a total of an hour, maybe hour 1/2 on the game total the last 3 days. Progress?

    Side note....I feel there is a lot more hp on enemy teams this time. Are there just a lot of maxed psy out there that we never see because she isn't worth putting on a 3 man team usually?

    I raised Psylocke to level 100 for this. I think she's one of those character who isn't a first pick but doesn't hurt to raise to level 141 (or at least highish levels). She's not a powerhouse by any means, but she's decent and D3 seems to love her as a recurring member of a limited roster or boosted hero. Now, the next event is IM40, and I'm really weary about raising his levels but I don't want to have a giant target on my back too.
