Patience. Think of this as seeding the field. You want the unwashed masses to have 1000 points instead of 800 so that when you retaliate en masse you're gaining points instead of losing them. Three and a half days to go.

drat, I'm about 50 points of 800, which I want for that last yellow Thor to max mine out. Only problem is I'm out of health packs and my Thor is low, so I don't want to be idle with weaker characters up. Oh well, I'm sure I can make up the difference+losses later today.

triplexpac posted:Thanks! I actually did get to 50 and got that token, maybe I'll attempt the 150 one as well and call it a day. Get as many Classic Storm/Thor covers as you can from this tourney, and then grab the rest of her covers from the PvE chapters. Don't spend hero points on anything other than collection slots (spending it on covers is pretty much a complete waste) and for now don't sell any covers unless you absolutely have to because it seems like nearly every dog gets its day with a boost tourney at some point. If you absolutely have to sell covers for ISO, Hawkeye Classic and Juggernaut are pretty surefire sell-bait. Also get friended up with the goon list in the OP so that you can pick up sweet, sweet ISO rewards from the rest of us playing.

One of the best newbie team is Iron with 5 red and yellow covers and 3 blue Modern storm with 5 green and red with 3 black Black widow with 5 of both her covers. Storm has a lot of board control. She can destroy 16 tiles with 10 green ap. and you gain ap for each tile she breaks and any matches that happen afterwards. You can easily gain 20 ap for 10 green ap which is as great as it sounds. Enemies can't make their attack tiles over storm's black ability. So if you fill the board with her black ability you won against normal baddies. Her red moves deals decent damage and gains you more ap. it quite possible for storm to generate enough ap so you can chain her moves a few times. Iron man is iron man. He the brawler and tank and he does that role well until you replace him with Thor or wolverine. Black widow is amazing. You likely never use her purple, but her blue move is just that good. A 5 turn stun and stuns the other enemies for 1 turn. And it is decently cheap. With storm generating ap you can probably use this move a few times. Makes boss fight really easy and does pretty well with PVP. She is likely to be the hero you will replace last. Shwqa fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Nov 12, 2013 |

Shwqa posted:One of the best newbie team is Eh I like 5 black for storm but 5 red is a lot easier to obtain in my experience. I think max level the attack tiles do 7 damage per hit (Mine is 32 but enemy ones have done 7 damage to me) and with 32 of them that's 224 extra damage per round. As opposed to the 112 damage from 16 tiles. The big draw for me for swapping 32 tiles to attack tiles is blocking countdown tiles, strike tiles and protect tiles from being able to appear if you have all of that color covered and with environment tiles on the board you have more than 50% of the board covered, feels closer to 80%. e: I would be interested if anyone could tell me what kinda damage max level 5 red/3 red does per tile if anyone has one there.

Slowly, slowly progress is made. Got to about 1075 this time before two guys in the 600s decided I was a nice target and yanked me backwards. I'm really not impressed by this tournament but there's nothing better to do in the game right now.

Isn't there some thing about having crabs in a bucket, and if any of the crabs start climbing out the other crabs drag them back in? That's what the tournaments always make me think of. fake edit: found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality actual edit: are there any crab superheroes in Marvel? Let's have one of those next.

So when I get a recruit token, is it only ever good for a Standard cover? Or should I save it for another time? Not sure if this game has the equivalent of a "godfest" in Puzzle & Dragons.

Standards are for standards, Heroics are for Heroics, and there are occasionally special tokens (like this week's Thunder/Lightning) for lotto draws that favor certain heroes.

PAD has some units that are just head-and-shoulders better than everyone else; this game doesn't, or at least not at first. You can draw an amazing rare but unless you either draw him in multiples for skillups or spend a fortune, he likely won't be as useful to you as an uncommon. There are occasional specials where certain units are more likely, but nothing to make anyone want to drop bucks PAD-style.

Only reason I would want to drop money on the game is so I could have more cover slots. I have two max skilled modern storms one 5/4/4 one 5/5/3 and 5 3* heroes with 1 or more covers in them, my 4* Woalverine with 0/2/0 and 9 2* heroes with one more more covers in them I love draken and need 2 more gray covers to max him and when they add a 3rd ability be sad because I can only get it to 3. How are you guys building Marvel now Thor I am 1/3/3 and don't want to screw him up since he owns bones.

Ugh sometimes the computer get such bullshit cascades. 4 of a kind horizontal of a off color, leads to a 5 of a kind red, to a 4 of kind red, to critical 4 kind of blue (they had black widows). Daken died like a champ and my level 85 Thor went from full health to 200. Still won though. Edit: best Thor is 5/5/3. His green ability is very meh compare to other green abilities.

Getting Thor's red up to 5 will let you throw out his red attack for 6ap. The rest is up to you, since levelling only reduces ap cost, the damage comes purely from his level.

I got to 500 3 times since last night. I am busy at work and can't sit there and play all day. But I am also spending more time going back and doing missions to get covers to upgrade.

EDIT: Yeah, I should probably put that in context a little, for every three-star i've gotten, i've probably gotten 15-20 @$%@#ing Classic Hawkeyes.

Yeah, three stars are really rare out of the 500 iso draw. I'd say 75% of my draws were 1-stars, 20% are 2, and 5% are the three star heroes.

I know, I occasionally go on 500 iso draw binges myself when I've not been paying attention to my iso income. I'm not advising against it, just be ready for a lot of hawkeyes, storms, venoms and juggernauts.

I'm not the only one with a level 85 Thor. I started out with a level 53 Thor with no covers to proceed. Now I have all the covers I needed and am at level 83. Once he's maxed, it's onto Classic Storm, whom I also got two covers for. I just got the 1k ISO prize by breaking 1000 for the first time. Tournaments definitely are where the real progress comes from and this one is probably helping out the majority of players in the end.

 Not that Black Widow was doing much damage, but I was quite pleased with managing to win this one despite Thor firing all 3 abilities in succession. Heals for 172 health per turn and does 253 damage for 3 AP with Feral Claws at level 77, 5/3/4 for the moment.

A blue spider man with the 2ap stun is murderous. If there's a storm in there I HAVE to take her down before dealing with him. A lucky AI match can mean doom for me. I got to 1097 points, then YOU WERE ATTACKED -40 points.

Yeah I think I saw the same guy maybe, level 59 or 69 spidey with only blue covers, storm with enough health to be a pain for my level 58 Thor and a Thor with about 4-5k hp D: Managed to beat him with no stuns due to sheer luck, yay for 2 red crits being beastly.
