Curse my need to get all the prizes from the missions. I spend far too long on repeating them even if the prize is something poo poo like 100 ISO. Or Juggernaut, who is effectively 100 ISO.

Still, Thor is becoming ridiculously strong now and I've maxed out the powers on Iron Man. Five blue, four red, four yellow is what I ended up with. Thor uses all the red and yellow AP anyway. Sometimes I get a lucky break and his red attack will give me yellows in the right places and charge the green attack, so he goes flying round the screen dropping lightning on people and bonking them in the head with Mjolnir.

And I picked up a Spider-Man from somewhere, he usually goes in the third spot if there's no guest, but I'll just stick whoever in there mostly, because it's rare that they'll be stronger than Thor or Iron Man so they won't be attacking much either.

Really enjoying this game now after the updates. Seemed very cash-grabby at first, and while there's still a bit of a pay-to-win feeling with the IAP, it definitely doesn't seem to need it.

Finally, this new Red ISO campaign thing seems to be the Stark Sarcasm Zone so far, and I quite like it.

I was all pissed off at this game at release, but the recent updates and event are really impressing me with what seems to be the start of a PAD-style dedication to making a good ongoing experience. As a result of my appreciation, I whaled out with a 20 dollar gift card I had hanging around, and ended up getting all 3 skills for classic Spiderman to level 2, and getting Cap to almost his skill limit. A team of classic storm, Thor, and classic spiderman is amazing. A lot of AoE, quick or heavy stuns, low cost nukes, and strong AoE healing on top of everything. It's fantastic. If you play carefully, you can play indefinitely by healing up in low risk situations.

What's the upper level classic Spider-Man blue like? I'm still dreaming of a venom / Spider-Man maximum carnage eat the team party.

I got lucky this new event with a Spidey blue pull from a heroic token. The next level up is AP reducing to make a web tile. I'm wondering if it's like venom and the web tile move upgrades just keep reducing the cost until I can shot web with the greatest of ease? To keep the cost low for venom webbing, maybe it's best to cut it short at 4/5 purple training.

I'm wondering if Bag-Man's Switcharoo could be used at all since it creates two web tiles. Use it 4 times and it's eat the entire loving team time. Anyone have a clue if the cost keeps going down?

Looks like it just adds more types of tiles?

Switcheroo - Purple 13 AP
Spider-Man pulls the old switcheroo, swapping 2 basic colored tiles and turning them to Web tiles.
Level Upgrades
Level 2: Also swaps Strike and Protect tiles.
Level 3: Also swaps Web and Attack tiles.
Level 4: Swaps all tiles that have a color.
Level 5: Swaps 2 pairs of tiles. Costs 18 AP.

I tried to use the devour move earlier with Bag-Man's switcheroo and it only did damage. I guess Bag-Man Switcheroo doesn't count as web tile poo poo and just freezes it.

Yup I cocooned it instead, misunderstood. Goddamn. Bagman you son of a bitch.

Oh god, that level 5. Two pairs of tiles. FOUR WEB TILES. Time to get in Venom's mouth.

edit: Are you sure you didnt mix up cocoon and switcheroo? Cocoon freezes timers, switcheroo swaps and webs stuff.

Remember to use your boost. You can only have 10 of a single boost, so you gotta use them somewhere.

I started using them last night. The only way to get more than single-digit points was to try and go after the people that beat me. Most of the time I barely survived after one fight and would have to go run to the Venom level and try to heal but it becomes such a chore. On paper my team should be just as good as my opponents, but it their Iron Man Repulsor Blasts you or they get some crazy Hawkeye combo early on, you may as well just quit the fight.

Logged in this morning and had three tokens waiting: two Standard, one Heroic.

Wolverine: Feral Claws. That'll help.
Venom: Symbiote Snare. Already maxed, thanks for the 100 ISO.
Wolverine X-Force: Enraged Slash?

:getin:

800 points after being plinked at all evening. Time to see if I can crack 1000 for that Spidey Classic.

EDIT: Burned a lot of heals but I got it. At 1004 - #18 and really don't care how far I fall now, and the hero points from the tourney will let me actually claim Spidey and level mine up. After that come the very hard choices as to whom to sell (probably Bullseye, I'm not ditching Magneto or Wolverine X-Force and I might as well level up Hawkeye Modern now.)

At least two were Facebook buddy rewards, yes. I didn't stop to see which were which.

IIRC the red ISO quests update every other day. If the existing ones reset they should do it in about 40 minutes, as noon EST yesterday was when they popped up in the first place.

Awesome! Also you guys are awesome. I woke with an extra 700 iso and 2 standard tokens. I got another yelena and modern storm,

I have been trying to compare wolverine to daken lately. Daken has much better colors (black and purple) but wolverine blows him out of the water. Both at level 13 daken makes 7 strength tiles for every green match. Wolverine makes 17 strength tile for minimum 3 green ap but makes an extra 17 strength tile every 5 red ap you have.

It is really easy for my wolverine and Thor to combo together and being 130 on normal tile matches.

I feel like I'm still getting started with this game - I'm just now starting to get covers other than iron man and storm classic. I have Thor, hawkeye modern, venom, capt america and magneto. How easy is it going to be to get new skills/levels for them? Are covers available in the oscorp/dark avengers storylines? (I haven't unlocked them yet). Should I just play the events and hope for hero coins? Pre patch the path to leveling/getting skills was clearer because covers dropped everywhere. Now I barely see any. Any suggestions?

Thor and Venom will be easier to level up. I haven't seen any other covers, other than the iso mission.

There are covers in the dark avengers missions. Wolverine every color if you can beat daken, yolena, and venom at the same time. I haven't unlock the last mission on the Maggie side yet.

Oscorp has yolena both colors, venom both colors, and daken.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
This weekends tournament is a free-for-all with no restrictions in playing characters that I can see. It'll be interesting to see some other teams than Iron Man, Thor and Cap. America.

Of course, I had to sell my lvl 20 Black Widow thinking she would not be useful after I ran out of cover space.

When they first integrated it, it was super obnoxious: trying to share would just offer 3 friends from your friend list, regardless of if they played.

Now it appears to only offer people who have the game linked to their account, so it's great.

It seems non-intrusive, best as I can tell. I've gotten and sent quite a bit of help and not seen walls filling up with stuff.

The Arena is the new event:
* Bracketed in 200s
* Either Captain America (buffed 150%) or Black Widow (buffed 200%) is forced onto your team. You can use your own version if you have one.
* Moonstone (Dark Ms. Marvel) is the top prize for each bracket. Progression prizes include Captain America Red pretty early, Captain America Blue and Black Widow Grey Suit for the superambitious.

Man, am I glad the only limit on your cover cache seems to be time. Mine is in double digits 'til I get one more batch of Hero Points.

EDIT: And it gets even worse because I got a Heroic token at 250 and got Magneto... the OTHER Magneto. So I need to wait 'til after midnight when I get my Hero Points reward, use that to expand my collection, clear the first 13 in my cache (sell 10 crap 1*s, skill up Cap twice and Spidey Classic once), collect Magneto Classic and then either figure out where ELSE I'm going to get Hero Points from or sell Bullseye.

High level Classic Storm vs Classic Storm is hilariously broken. When one team autohits, the autohits continue until one Storm is dead.

You sell them under Train; pick a cover there, select Raise Level, and there should be a Sell icon at lower left. It's unintuitive.

If you want to have a backup Iron Man ready to go, you could hang on to it and develop it. But raising other characters is more interesting.

Randomly got Marvel Now Magneto a couple of days ago, and he's rapidly turned into a favourite of mine: cheap to upgrade, good strength and a pretty useful blue skill (punches a 13-tile hole in the board for 9 blue). My team mostly consists of him, Iron Man and Modern Black Widow/Storm depending on who's not dead right now.
