I just wish - as a general rule - they were better at rotating them. I had my Lazy Thor at 0/4/5 before I pulled my first red from a heroic.

Yeah, my LazyCap has been sitting at 5/5/2 for weeks, and both his blue covers came from token pulls. It's sad. Speaking of which, I've been running BP/LCap/Hulk for this event, but I'm wondering if it's worth subbing in Patch for Hulk. Neither one of them has a great build -- my Hulk is lvl 115 with 5/4/2, and Patch is lvl 102 with 4/4/2. What do you guys think?

He's 535 now at lvl115 (got 35lvl recently), will probably get another 5-15lvls till the end of Predator and Prey. ...and I still don't understand the phenomenon of Black Panther. Sure, he's awesome in the comics. Sure, this motion comic drawn by my favourite John Romita JR was amazing and I watch it once a month. But in the game? 1 strong power which costs quite a lot. good hp. anything else? Oh yeah, the animations. I realized today that he's trying to scratch me. Before that I was all "why the hell he keeps on throwing some discs at me?" :? I'll stick to Patch + CMags/Hulk.

And well, Mags blue. I'll probably replace Mags with Steve after the Nerf. Patch/CMags/Hulk is quite possibly my favorite team to pound in PvP.

That said, in the limited games I encountered this combination The Hood didn't use Intimidation for a few turns. I cannot say if the AI has been tweaked or if this is just bad luck (there's always a chance the AI saves up for Rage, just not often) but I've noticed some different behavior on same color ability selection in the Simulator Basic too. If there's some secret tweaks to make the AI better at saving up, then BP/The Hood/LT is strictly a better defensive team than BP/Mag/LT. Of course Magneto is still way better on offense, but The Hood is probably good enough to win on offense for you. I might switch to that team if I continue to see AI skipping Intimidation.
Phantron wrote: Black Panther's Battleplan is 9 AP, versus 8 AP for Sacrifice, so there's an extremely high chance that a team cannot pull off the Sacrifice + World Rupture combo on defense even if they happen to have the AP for it, because the only way this is possible is if the other team have exactly 8 yellow AP and 8+ green AP. Yes Daken strike tile hurts too, but you're obviously still hoping the AI would drop a Sacrifice to augment World Rupture for the sure kill. In fact this combination of AP would almost be like playing without ever being able to Sacrifice at all, which greatly hinders Sentry.
