New Leaf posted:It also has some of the best luck I've ever seen in some rare cases. On mine it cleared a vertical row of 4 to the top of the screen and left a single yellow tile open below, and it just so happened that the next 4 tiles to spawn were also yellow and it demolished me. Why can't I ever be that lucky? You are but you don't remember it when it happens to you.

If I have a 2 level purple Venom, and I win the black/purple Venom from the Red event, how will that transfer if I train the new one with the old one? One level? Both levels?

You will win two Venoms, one black and one purple, not one with both equipped. To train a cover with a mixed-power cover, you'll have to build the latter yourself. Doing so is left as an exercise for the reader with too many Hawkeye Classics in the cache.

I said it a while ago and I'm sticking with my belief: Grey Magneto and Storm Classic are a loving powerhouse together; Magneto's countdown tile is a small timer for a big amount of damage and his purple ability folds so neatly into Storm's blue ability. I want to build up a heavy hitter that does black damage to finish my team, but I sold the venom I'd pumped about twenty covers into before the big update that changed how skills work hit and since then I've seen a total of two Venoms

I think for storm modern 5/5/3 might be the way to go but mine is 4/5/4 and I am building another one up to 3/3/3 to decide what I want to do with her. But 3/5/5 also will have uses for get rid of all the location tiles get some matches pop the black and make a match and do an additional 100+ damage while also preventing the enemy from making them special tiles because they are already your strike tiles. Also the 5 red to do 18 damage per location tile at lvl 24 is pretty sweet. That and the extra damage from cascading. My lvl 34 iron man with 5 in the blaster only deal 665 damage for 10 red.

Fallorn posted:You are but you don't remember it when it happens to you. Yeah, once or twice the game has just let me demolish the enemy team without them even getting a turn. And then sometimes it gives me enough Reds to have Thor hit everyone in the head, charge his lightning, and charge his other lightning. Always nice when that happens. So am I right in thinking I don't want to train Venom's Snare to level 5? Seems it'd be better to just stun one enemy for less AP. One day he'll devour somebody. Almost had a baddy with it yesterday but Venom still doesn't have enough health right now so he got whacked. Also, managed to get Iron Man to level 50, and found another Red Thor, so he can start levelling up again.

Thundercracker posted:How well do you have to place in the Dark Avengers tournament to get a prize once it's done? I'm about 9-10 place in my bracket right now. Is it just a Moonstone prize? Top 1-2 get a Classic Spiderman, below that you're getting Bag-Man. Ranks 3-10 get all three skills of Bag-Man. If you drop to 51-100 you'll get a Purple + Black Venom. The trend seems to be the rewards are useful in the next arena, so I'd guess next week is a Spider-Man themed one and Bag-Man may be useful.

Just had another realization as to how Captain America is sneaky-powerful. His damage numbers aren't spectacular when not event-buffed, but his utility... Red and Blue are both directly placeable, cancel out any other tile at Level 5, and return most of their AP three turns later, making them ideal tools for lockdown + damage/stun. Or you can drop them in a gap in a line / L / T, get the damage/stun and an instant critical. Yellow? Three protect tiles for 19 AP doesn't seem that great. Until the little light goes on -- three _directly placeable_ yellow protect tiles. Which means just about anywhere that there are two yellows close to each other, wham! instant Critical and board churn.

The problem with sneaky-powerful Captain America is that he's really only sneaky-powerful when you hit L5 Red/Blue, and 19 yellow AP take a long time to gather and are generally better spent elsewhere (like say, doing 1000 damage with Thor). Maybe I'm just bitter that I'm stuck at 2-2-2 with no sign of maxing R/B.

Oh hey! New feature, Lightning Rounds. These are 90 - 120 minute PvP tournaments where players have a specific villain shoved onto their teams (first time around, The Hood) and that villain gets pushed hard in the Recruit bin for the duration.

Whalley posted:Grey Magneto, at level 3 in his purple skill, only takes ten purple to be able to directly place four blue squares. Which is enough to set up any move you want, really, and when I get him to level 5, it'll only take 9 purple to place 5 tiles. He also has a blue ability that, at level 1, costs 6 and makes a one turn countdown on a random blue that destroys the surrounding nine squares, and his red currently for me at level 2, costs 9 to create a 2 turn countdown timer that deals 495 to a target. He fucks with boards like nobody's business. True enough. I'd dearly love a Grey Magneto but have but one blue cover and no ready way of getting any more. Cap I got and leveled pretty much for free. EDIT: Aw YES. Speaking of "pretty much for free":

Well this company also does the marvel Facebook game. It was always doing events. The problem was you always needed the newest hero to be able to get all the rewards. And you have to spend red ISO to do missions. The way to get red ISO was to have friends gift it to you or spend money. They went too fast for me. If you didn't finish the mission in a week, then you didn't get the newest hero, so then you need to spend money in order to be the next week's mission.

They're throwing in extra currency when you buy stuff in the cash shop, too. I've been pretty happy with this, might toss them some cash.

I would recommend buy more slots until you got at least 20 slots. Rolling for more heroes is tempting and I wasted my money on it. But if you don't have slot then you just end up selling heroes. I have be getting heroic tokens pretty regularly but I have unfortunately had to sell some 2 stars heroes because I don't got room.

Argh, 2nd place with <1 minute left in hood lightning, take a 14 point fight to close out, and finish top 8. Wish you could see final leaderboards, cause when I looked at it with 2 minutes left, the guy in 3rd was 15 points behind me. At least I got the two hood skills that matter.

That's pretty much all I want from lightning. Despite Unstable ISO grind heroics I'm not a big player, so I want ISO, Token, ISO, Token, lots of ISO from fighting small fries, ISO at the end and I'm a happy guy. Though if they do a Magneto lightning round it WILL be tempting to take a crack at the machine to try to skill mine up.

He's really nice. He's got abilities to mix up a board and set up ridiculous blue combos. I dont really use his red much because it's a 3 turn timer and I usually have heavier red hitters anyway, but his blue and purple powers are super fun. He's also reasonably beefy unlike other board changers. (Storm I'm looking at you!)

His Blue can be upgraded to the point where it destroys literally the entire board, the Purple at level 1 regularly gets you a free move/critical combination and at level 5 gives you enough tiles to make one yourself, and his Red goes from a 3-turn countdown damager to a 1-turn miniature blue with direct damage component. He's pretty sweet.

I have a maxxed out Doom, and his attack squares maxed out hit for like 1.2 k each round, and his blue ability helps make sure you can use it over and over. It's not cheap, but it packs a wallop once you get it working.

The trick is to massage it just right so that I land where I want to -- in the 26 - 50 range for the two Heroic tokens. Those got me a Bag-Man Switcheroo (whoopee) and a Magneto Now! Purple, so yay!

Does Classic Storm's green block breaking skill factor in the 12 green AP it costs to activate it when calculating how many random blocks to blow up?
