New Character - Toni Ho (Rescue) 5*

Borstock

I would love to put a whole bunch of levels on her......just to get wiped by a non-boosted Sam-Jugg with Eros, Leapfrog, and Copter. Or perhaps the Sam-Jugg team with Leapfrog, AI, and Copter. It's a real pickle deciding which one to attack. So many options.

If she's in the 650+ range she probably has enough health to survive one of their crazy cascades. I've had a million HP cascaded away before, but it's pretty rare. I'd rather cut off my left arm than run some boring "meta" team though, so I'll take what I can get.

Of course they'll all trivially destroy you when they're on offense, but that's what everyone wants -- the good characters should be 100-150 levels better than the medium characters, and 200+ levels better than the bad ones.

Could someone remind me what the retro rewards are for ascended Red Hulk for the next couple of days, and what level is recommended for the second Red Hulk before ascending?

I'd suggest a minimum 286 for the 2nd RHulk if you can. You need to get to 302 for an extra cover but that's borderline not worth it if you're in the low 290s.

Thanks @Scofie
Stopping at 286

My red hulk is 452 so it is actually a loss. Amazing.
If I kept a max and a champed 280 I would be ahead.

And I'm sure your roster progress is devastated as a result.

I will never recover

I didn’t get her to 13 covers yet but I have her at 3/4/5. In PVE with the right team she is fairly strong. I was trying to do her quests and running Her and it is wiping out teams fairly quickly. It’s not aunt may teams fast but it works fairly quickly. There are a lot more repeater options than I remembered and she is fun. Not top tier, but surprisingly good

I usually use darkveil to away-stall and get a lot of AP for new character quests. DV works surprisingly well with Toni, even at just 1/1/1. Not that I'd ever ascend DV, but it was still a fun interaction to have Toni zero out DV's repeater and bump up all my AP. Wasn't exactly infinite but was still a nice pile of AP I needed to fire her other powers.

Just tried out Toni with Okoye/Gorr, and it works well. Six procs of Okoye's passive per turn at the start. Also her yellow can reactivate Gorr's repeaters.

Wouldn‘t it be even better with Apoc?

Toni is legit but does need the right partners. Mine was boosted to lvl583. I ran 672 Magik/500 unboosted Gorr, and I ended up using a yellow support. One cast of Toni yellow just decimated all the unboosted teams.

Even Leapfrog didn't matter too much. Each Leapfrog mode can only fire once per turn, so target the guy in front of the guy with Leapfrog, let him go invisible or whatever, then watch as the guy with Leapfrog ends up in front, eats like 200k damage and dies.

And even if they go invisible, Magik still hits them and Toni will still stun them due to the random effect.

The 5 star version of Magik I presume?

Toni definitely has sauce. Absolutely melted my Juggernaut when I wasn't paying attention.

Yeah. Magik3 doesn't hit team or random unfortunately. Magik5's repeaters trigger on random enemies (same with Toni's stun), and any time abilities claim that, it can still hit invisible. This is another reason Namor3 is so crazy, he will still take someone else's insane match damage and slap a random (invisible included) enemy. Making Frog much less valuable for those teams.

It's also good at killing Darkveil, as it will hit him in the back (but not the person in front) and not send them away.

Boom! Got my 25 wins in fairly record time. My Magik isn't as high as yours but still did the job. Crazy. Still have no idea how the damage was calculated but dang was this a fun team.
