What does your ascension list look like?

WhiteBomber

Just curious what everyone's 4star priorities are / were. OR, if you were fortunate enough to ascend most of them early on, which are your favorites?

My example top 20:

Favorited and ascended ASAP - Complete
1. Karnak - slight ascenders remorse
2. Deathlok
3. Beast
4. Coulson
5. Multiman
6. Mbaku
7. Juggernaut (happened without favoriting)
8. Blob
9. Black King - slight ascenders remorse
10. NorthStar
11. Ikaris

Next to Favor
1. Moondragon
2. Magik
3. Avon
4. Betsy
5. SpiderIndia
6. Silk
7. Moonstone
8. Aikku
9. Luna

Question 1 will take me awhile to answer but I'll try to do something. I can maybe contribute something actually useful here instead of just starting fights.

Next to favorite:
1. Maker (he's actually ready now, just not eligible to be ascended yet)
2. Zola

Yeah, you are one of the few reasons I had to put the "OR". Hopefully this one is so engrained in personal preference it won't spin in to an argument/debate, but be damn sure we will try!

I've got most tiers fully ascended now, my 3 stars need the most work. I'm working on Magik now.

Multiple Man is with iron may on my never ascend list since he gets nerfed after ascension.

Thanks for the heads up on Multiple Man!

Luckily he only asked about 4*, or I'd never be able to answer!

If you only use him for the instawin yes -- at 5* the threshold goes up.

He actually sorta turns into a nightmare at 5* though. The dupes are all pretty nasty effects, he heals, creates dupes passively, and resists damage.

Yeah, I don't even know what he does aside from fire yellow repeatedly- win game.

This is lvl480 no boost, and remember the special tiles all count as SAP for buffing etc, and can't be matched unless a match-4.

Plus every time he takes damage he creates a dupe (prioritizing enemy SAP).

The instawin is still good obviously, but this is a different good character.

MM is amazing at 5 star, easily one of my favorite ascended thus far. He is one of the most versatile characters in the game, and does it while being a top tier character. If anyone cares enough, we can start another thread on him and his value and or do videos. I understand the win condition mindset, but I enjoy using him for too many other teams.

My current list of favorited/to ascend:

Close to ascending Polaris. Next up is:
Juggernaut
Coulson
M'Baku
Rocket & Groot
America

For 3*s, I'm going for
Namor (because he and 4Moonstone are my PVP team)
May up to 4 but not to 5

Anybody good I'm forgetting?

DAZ0273

Ascended 4a5:

America Chavez
Cyclops
Rocket/Groot
Polaris
Deathlok
Mordo
Juggernaut
Captain Marvel
Deadpool
Karnak
Gamora
Nick Fury
Sabretooth
Medusa
Rogue
Wolverine

Working on:

Coulson dupe.

Available to ascend with fully covered dupe if I had the iso:

Valkyrie
Shuri

Can't really see me using those two much but as can see from my random list above I will consider ascending anybody.

My highest ascended 3a4 is Deadpool at 321
My highest ascended 2a4 is Hawkeye at 363
My highest ascended 1a4 is Spider-Man at 363

I can't wait to see how many ascended characters get nerfed because they could steamroll new SCL 10.

Like Multiple Man and asc Coulson win on turn 2, every time. Will that stand?

Such suspense!

Coulson can't now because of the max damage per turn limit. So all bonus damage will just be wasted.

TBH my main focus is getting 3-star Magneto ascended to 5-star because he hits like a freight train in villain Lightning Rounds. I have the vast majority of the 4-stars ascended; my favorites are...

• Juggernaut (highest level 4a5 because he was targeted for a long while)
• Agent Coulson
• Polaris
• America Chavez
• Deadpool
• Wolverine
• Ikaris

My dupe Wolfsbane is at 271, and I have her targeted so I can get Sunspot covers. I'll ascend her once she's max/max.

Highest level 4a5 is Juggernaut at 510
Highest level 3a5 is Deadpool at 491. I had three copies when ascension started, so I got him to 5-star quick.
Highest 2a5 is Electro at 521
Highest 1a5s are Juggernaut and Spider-Man at 550

DAZ0273

See this is exactly the sort of thing that happens to me - as soon as I get Coulson ascended something will happen to make him immediately useless like he is only allowed to fight 6* or they are nerfing all countdown tiles or he only works with ascended Puck!

MM and Coulson isn't about damage, it's the insta win. bring ap boosts in all colors. Fire MM yellow on every color. There are now a ton of CD tiles from Coulson and Coulson generates ap every time a CD expires.

Let the enemy take a turn and wait for your CD's to resolve. You now have a giant pile of ap and can fire MM yellow until you have enough MM tiles to insta win the match.

DAZ0273

I have to admit that Multiple Man is one of those characters I have never seemed able to get to work.

Ah, yeah, I never use him for that win condition because like Daz I can never get it to work (probably because my characters are still 4 stars and can't survive much damage).

All these (MM and other such wins) could be trivially fixed by just putting a simple clause on the insta-win that says it can't trigger before turn X (could be turn 5, turn 10 etc). No need to nerf anything else about either character other than delaying the auto-win to a specified turn count.

For MM you want to keep him at 4 star because the threshold for his insta win goes up when he is ascended. Coulson doesn't have to be ascended, but it will be much easier if he is as he will create 5 CD tiles per ally power fired instead of just 1. Add 5* hawkeye or kang as a third to generate even more ap on CD's resolving.
