Patch event - Broke 1k using Patch/Laken/Hood. Cost 225HP in shields, but I screwed it up at the end and got knocked back down after getting Thor. Gamora event - Dumped a ton of ISO into her to make her viable, and paired her with Laken and Hood again. No boosts til 850. Used up my 3 in all boots to get the rest of the way. 300 HP spent. I most likely will save resources until the next time those two come up, and hitting 1K every time, would be difficult. Yasuru of Thunderkittens

As plenty have already said, it was really refreshing to see different lineups in the mix, even if a high controlling percentage were 4or + someone. Variety is good! More Wolverine events, please!

Patch is always fun to play no matter the event.

Patch is always fun to play no matter the event. I cannot say I have fallen for Patch... his red is just **** unless he's the top level character in your roster tanking more than 2 colors. His green is sort of fun, but requires a bit of luck or support of characters that enable quick elimination of pink strike tiles the other team gets. Yellow is passive, strong healing - yes, but passive; and unless you have in your team other members with true healing generally team equipped by patch suffers from health packs limit... and that also applies for patch hulk combo (such combo makes patch red even less attractive)

During cage match I used patch, daken and an underlevelled HT for the first 700 points until a bad cascade ended Torch's reign of fiery terror, zero health packs used. Then I switched around a few different characters for fun - BP, Blade, Lazy Cap, LThor, and for the final hops I used Deadpool and Hood to put a quick, messy end to Thorina with only iso boosts.

Pile up green AP and AP needed for those cheap damaging or aoe moves, then go berserker and finish enemies of within the single turn given?
dr tinykittylove wrote: Exactly. Firing berserker off without a finish plan is just asking for a cascade to kill off your entire team. Patch is funny like that. I also fire berserker early if there are a few purple matches available that I can match away, or if I see a way to cause a multiple cascade or match 5 for even more no-risk fun.
