I couldn't tank my rating down to Thor territory so I decided to go for #1-2, ended up in first place with 825 points roughly 100 points ahead of #2. Everyone else in the bracket was in the 600 range. Getting into a weak bracket makes such a huge difference.

Holy poo poo, Thor tournament. Rewards are quite Thor and Stormy.

This is going to be rough, given the number of levelled Thors out there.

Buffed Thor? Jeez, you have got to be kidding me. I chose to max Storm first then Thor. I'm in for a world of pain this week. My Thor is only 4/3/2 right now. :sigh:

Man, the way tournaments are setup is intense. Trying to attack just enough to stay in the double Thor reward without getting too close to 25 and potentially getting bumped up if someone gets attacked made for a crazy last half hour.

I'm not seeing the flurry of activity I expect in the last 15 minutes of a tournament. Maybe everyone exhausted all their heals.

Yeah, I think the retreat changes and lack of level healing really cut back the end-of-tournament flurry. Its actually kind of nice, though you can still get randomly dogpiled!

E: Okay, I see what Shwqa is talking about with boosts. I had no idea that you could buy boosts with ISO, because I'd never actually run out before. That changes everything!

I think I finished 30th so how long until I get my Thor cover? This next tournament is going to be absolutely retarded and I need my guy max level for the ugliest tournament yet!

EDIT: WHOA, 1000 ISP for Thor and Storm covers! Time to finish of Classic Storm as well.

Nice of them to put Classic Storm in the premium currency Thor sale and both Modern and Classic Storm in the purple crystals one. Kind of makes that Lightning token reward worthless.

In the meantime my second Lightning cover was a blue Classic Storm, putting her up to 3/4/3. :bubblewoop:

I didn't go for the Thor reward, because I only need one more cover to max him out. I'm glad that I didn't, since it should be easy to get this tournament (I need yellow, which is the 800 reward, if I don't get him first). It does kind of suck that the rewards are so Thor/C. Storm heavy since I already have all their covers (I do need to level Thor up, he is only 56). I finished top 10, I'm ok with that.

I just need one more yellow for Perfect Thor and a fuckton of ISO to level him up. With all the Thor and Storm rewards, this is going to truly break the game by the end. Either you started playing before the Great Tournament and maxed out Thor and the Storms, or you'll probably never win again.

This is actually the second time the Thor tournament has run. So far they seem to be looping.

I just realized this Thor tournament should be comedy gold. The damage buff should be enough to trigger Storm's passive off normal matches. Just shove babby Thor out front and watch the triggers fly.

Thor tourney?!

Get. The gently caress. IN!

Looks like another 200 person bracket event, those are always the most successful/profitable. The progression rewards look drat good too! I think I may finally max my last three Thor covers out thanks to this event and these "lightning" tokens.

Edit: Yes! Went for it and got top 2 in my bracket AND managed to break 1000 points for a few seconds. :woop:

If that's the case, perhaps keeping Model 40 Iron Man around for his yellow skill in the third slot may be a good idea.

I can't even attempt to start the next tournament because trying to retreat from 5th place down to 30 killed the majority of my collection. A really bad time for that new retreat damage feature to go in effect.

Because no one has anything else. I wish they would stop being to stingy with 2* that aren't Cstorm, Thor, and too a less degree wolverine and daken. I want to use hawkeye modern, magneto now, bullseye, etc. The game will be a lot more fun when people have different parties and you need to adjust strategies.

Edit: I'm going to take it easy this Thornament, I don't need any more Thor and Loki and x-force wolverine as rare enough I might never get to use them. I'll probably try for 900 points for that sweet sweet iso and try to get some more cstorms but if I don't in rank I don't care.

So far I've found it most useful to use two stockpile buffs and just one shot something on my first turn. I don't think stuff would live long enough for the countdowns to pop.

I was hoping you could get C-Storm's blue and yellow covers from tokens but it doesn't look like it. I did the campaign before the big patch, so is hero coins the only way to get them? She's at 5/4/3, I just need the one :/

Yeah I desperately wish I had more Magneto Now covers. Even capped at level 16 with only two abilities he's insane paired with Classic Storm. Three Blue tiles anywhere I want on the board? Hell yes.

Crap, I just noticed how high you can level some of the cards with more stars. X-force wolverine can go to 230

Also it's nice that those covers also give you gold. So I at least got 25 gold back from that black widow I didn't want to keep.

Not the ONLY one. Mine was capped at 30 before the end of the Iron Man tourney, which is what, only 2 more covers than you? I never levelled him because I didn't have the covers. This is going to be rough.

One fight in, already having to skip the lvl 85 Thors...

Edit: There was another Thornament earlier? Must have been before I started playing. Is THAT where every bastard got their Thor covers from?
Also does this mean that there'll likely be another one star tournament soon? That was my first one, I got in one fight before the deadline, only just beating a lvl 8 Iron Man with my lvl 3 IM/Storm/Widow. Made top 25 and got a Cap. Ah, memories...
