I'll probably just shoot for the 50 HP reward at 500 unless there turns out to be a really easy up to the Loki covers (wishful thinking here), since I don't have a level 85 Thor or Storm (don't want to spend the Iso 8s on Thor with his future status uncertain and Storm is just not that good in general). This tournament is likely to have a very low ceiling is terms of competitive teams because I have a hard time seeing a significantly stronger team than those 3 buffed character. There just aren't that many high level Ragnaroks out there, and while the ability to pump green would normally be considered an asset, this is not the case here as this tournament features the two strongest characters on yellow (Thor and Ares) so you'd use your red to pump yellow for sure.

It's not the easiest thing to manipulate with how clustered everyone is away from the top 10, but aim for the middle of the tier you want, not the top. Don't forget your rank can go up as well as down from other people's scores shuffling about. I made the same error once and was briefly in line for 3* booby prize instead of 3x2*. Did you do alright in Ares 2? Saw you spanking my sorry-**** Hulk around the closing minutes. Unless I had Widow in by then, I forget. I do still need Punishers (and I want 5/5/3, stuff his red), but I kinda want OBW blacks more, honestly. Already dumped 500HP on her, and would rather not use another 1000. So I guess I'll see you around rank 80.

Not really sure what my team is going to be. Well green is generally a stronger color than yellow, so I understand why Ragnarok's green pump is weaker than Thor's yellow pump. However, this tournament features the two gods of yellow (Thor/Ares), so I see no reason you'd ever pump green instead of yellow for this tournament.

Is he boosted less than the last tournament?

While Onslaught is instant kill on Ares's sidekicks, Ares himself can take them quite well (and usually retaliate). In this tournament I imagine you'll often face a team with all 3 characters that are boosted, so they'd actually be able to withstand Onslaught most of the time and make you pay for it.
