Use her red first, maybe always, because boosted her fort matching damage is quite high.Odin was nearly the other have of whatever Heimdall is doing, but his fort spam mechanism isn’t on purpose enough and doesn’t work beyond the first hit he takes on a jump in front.

It was my worst gaming week here in 3 years . Boring , monotonous victories over all teams in 3 to 6 moves . Play time cut by over 50%. Why would you spend 8 years in something with zero challenge or thought needed to succeed ? To me that game would be a living hell. On a different topic of Ultron, I’m finding the Valtronaris ( can I coin that ?) team can stun lock usually in 4 moves . ( Unless I ever saw a Surfer some day ). I mean nobody is forcing you to use meta characters. Use more characters on your roster that aren't meta or boosted if you want more of a challenge from the game. Yes because in an entire year of 5* tier PvP NOT ONCE did I ever face a team without at least 1 meta character. (average 2.2 metas per opponent). It’s a shame every other player hasn’t had this idea . Or maybe I’m just the only player that enjoys challenges.

I disagree.If you want good rewards for placement in PVP and PVE, you have to use meta teams. They are faster and more efficient than non meta teams. Hence being Meta. --Back on topic. Knul is very fun when boosted. Now have an excuse to use my kitty. Hela... haven't even tried when boosted. iirc the green or red don't scale well? Hela's passive tile strengthening is what you want her for. The green is okay, the black can be brutal depending on how many blues are in play. at 5 covers, boosted, mine is strengthening ALL friendly specials on the board by 851 each whenever you down an enemy, so you want a high volume of them in play when you drop somebody if possible.

dianetics said: She is my fourth choice for partners for Heimdall, they do work well together but she does not really help what he does. Lizard is better at it actually with his purple and stun. Throg is great for his landing AP generation. Even Be4ast generates blue charged tiles to increase his healing and generate AP reduction.
entrailbucket said: Don't misunderstand -- their customer service is pretty good as far as these things go, and when you put in a ticket, they'll respond to you in a reasonable amount of time and do their best to resolve your issue. The "white glove" service I was talking about is CS doing cover swaps.If the swap policy is meant to help players catch up, why does it only apply under such limited and outdated conditions? When it was put in place, it was meant to be an incentive for high spending players to continue to be high spending players, not to be used once or twice in a players' career. If it's intended to do what people think, wouldn't it also apply to the other 25cp stores? Why can't lower tier players make use of it?If you've read hundreds of my posts without putting me on your ignore list...my condolences. Sometimes I forget people are reading this stuff. But I've been pretty clear about what I want, I think! I want balance, or something approximating balance. There's always going to be a best team, but the best characters should not be +200 levels ahead of the worst characters. New players should be able to succeed with any 5*, not just the best of the best. They shouldn't have to hoard and wait for a good set of 3, they should all be good enough. If someone's favorite character is Iron Man or Magneto, they should be able to champion that guy and do well.

Use her red first, maybe always, because boosted her fort matching damage is quite high.Odin was nearly the other have of whatever Heimdall is doing, but his fort spam mechanism isn’t on purpose enough and doesn’t work beyond the first hit he takes on a jump in front. The fact that the three of them overlap so much is what kills them most for me. I will say (to go off topic but in a different direction), I used Odin unboosted in shield sim with Wanda/Colossus and imagine it can be pretty annoying to face. Even though Odin only tanks red for me, he was still able to put fortified tiles down most matches. Having to chew through his health with the Wanda/Colossus damage nullifies had to be annoying, especially once he starts healing. And you can’t take out his protectors lest he keep jumping in front. I had plenty of defensive losses so it was far from a free shield, but I think I may have rated him too low (I think he just isn’t fun to play on offense, but his defense really is top notch if you have two other threats).
Ares76 said:Why is there so much discussion going on about 550 cover swaps? Who needs those? When I play SCL10 I always earn at least 1,500 shards. Always apply them AFTER pulling for a character when he's about to leave Latest!Or if you want pull right away when he enters stop at 550 and wait a few weeks for the shards coming in.
