    But HailMary, I never even mean goon battles or battles with only one villain. Those are almost always trivial to beat, especially when you have oBW. It's the 3 villains battles that might cause problems. And isn't it the purpose of strike tiles to let them out as early as possible? Berserker Rage is not supposed to be a late game nuke.

    2kalirion - I don't like overlap much, be it offense or defense, on offense you always have to make choices, and often suboptimal ones, on defense the AI will make all the suboptimal choices happily as well. Marvel was mentioned outside of the Patch discussion. Sure, 5 g Patch is often the strongest build; it is also the most risky and self-damaging, so I sacrifice extra power to have a safer damage option with more versatility and a great nuke.

    Lost one of my matches tonight, because apparently the computer controlling the computer actions decided that using environment to create a critical tile should be placed to over- write ares sunder countdown. I was gonna see it go off next turn, damage the enemy just enough to to collect one green match in the corner, then onslaught for the win.

    Instead I end up glaring at the phone grumbling, 'are you tinykitty kidding me?'

    I got a shake my head and laugh tho. At least I know that is a thing now...
    This has happened to me on two separate occasions before, with Steve Rogers' star spangled avenger countdown tile. The enemy used the environment power to turn my countdown tile into a critical tile. I was like come on, really?

    Its the weirdest tourney i ve ever had.. As sharding is back.. I decided the last events to enter very early.. I know vets want to avoid xmen but you cant have so many of them.. Having 1 xmen and plenty of noobs will always be better than 0 xmen and plenty of vets (QED in bracketology.. icon_e_biggrin.gif ).. I climbed early as i just want a top5 and prepared myself for the only real thing for me in this game aka LR.. by going high early im sure to be a xmen fav.. As usual they obliged, what gave me juicy retals (as they gang attacked.. I ve at least 10-15 xmen retals worth 25-40 Pts each).. I stay unshielded to let the patchneto ate the remaining points i m still worth and have my mmr really low.. I should have known better..+150 overnight!!! Im even higher than when i was hit.. And i keep piling up def wins.. I cant even change my team as i dont want to lose x retals.. So.. Hopefully some xmen want to down me again.. Weirdly enough i have to say you re welcome.. icon_mrgreen.gif
    Edit 1: thank you guys (it was greatly needed).. Especially you terr (a xmen it seems).. Keep coming please
    Edit 2: sometimes i wonder if im not an xmen as they just seem to feed me with juicy points (i got even one of them hitting me as he is 150 Pts above me.. Be my guest please.. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Enter early = death bracket

    Enter later = death bracket

    Somewhere in between = death bracket (Polarity, AB and at least three X-Men that I know of)

    I should be flattered I guess. At least top 25 hasn't been too much of a fight so far.

    I seem to have an ok bracket for now and I keep creeping further and further up. 4th with 750 and 1st is 100 but I'm just waiting for those 166's to come along and knock me back 80-150 points in the next few hours now!!!

    Yep.....only ONE hour after getting up to 750 I've already been hit for 150 points!!!

    If you can safely drop rage early then no problem, if you are going to take punishment for doing so, save up, let Patch regen match damage for a few and then unleash a game ending flurry of abilities starting with rage. Nothing wrong with saving the pain for the best possible moment.

    Generally, 0/1-villain fights probably comprise the majority of all PVE nodes. 5/3/5 Patch simply mulches them, especially when paired with OBW Espionage. Taking down a couple 10K+ HP Muscles/Dons or big Hitmen in half the time (and half the random-CD-proc/mid-game bad board risk) is still quite an improvement. You originally said "the current PVE," not "specifically the three-villain missions in the current PVE, in which you use BRage in the standard manner." Against goons, 5G BRage is an early-game move.

    Up to 1100 without even one attack on me... well that's something brand new...
    Anyway - done with this event icon_e_wink.gif

    I suspect it's someone who bought Worldrunners account after he threw in the towel last week. I'm surprised he's not already an X-Man icon_lol.gif

    I don't understand how all these people get name changes so fast, when actual gameplay tickets take a week to even be looked at. minimum

    I think it's really him bc there was an appearance of bag mania at the end of last pvp. Team ups can take it in the face

    I thought it was Worldrunner using the former Magickdonut account. I thought he rescinded his resignation when they changed his name.

    I got to 1075 without shielding, it was glorious. Then I came out of a match for -110. You're all horrible horrible people icon_e_biggrin.gif I don't even want that cover anymore now

    Good fight, good night

    Death brackets really truely suck. I'm shielding out for now at 1000 and I still don't know if I'll be top ten. Hit me if you got me. Also, thanks to whomever it was griping about patch/magneto teams for the idea. This is way faster than punisher/mags. icon_lol.gif

    Yeah my bracket's already shaping up to be a doozy. Ghast, MonCagz, Nazerith, sietlas. And that's just the top 15 or so that I can see (and some of the others in top 10 are no slouches either). I might just take this one easy.

    Alright, got my cover, done with this.

    Would have made it unshielded to 1100 too, if not for the fact that I wasn't able to make _one_ single green match against jonny1punch's team, so I wiped for -16 instead of getting 40 icon_lol.gif
    So you owe me 75HP, jonny icon_lol.gif

    Hit me if you got me icon_e_smile.gif
