 Marvel Puzzle Quest.jpg Then I had a fight where turn one the enemy cascaded into a five match that made their Storm crit my Thor for over 3k triggering a Storm passive battle.  Edit: Oh and for the record that took place over a 3 minute break I took.

Well, I said I'd had enough of the Widow Tournament and that I was done. Turns out that was a lie. Got up to 1000 anyway just now.

I ran out of heals with 20 minutes left to go, so now I just have to coast on what I've got. I keep bouncing between rank 10 and 12 as everyone else fights it out around me.

Well, roll on Thursday for the lightning rounds, I guess. I know if I enter the 3* tournament I'll become easy prey, I think the best I can muster is a lvl 25 IM40 and a lvl 18 Spider-man

New event this week is a 3-star only tourney. 500 person brackets, Spidey for the winners, good ol' juggs for the not so winners. I'm looking forward to this, even though all my ISO has gone to Thor CStorm and Daken. I say this because according to the recent events, mostly everyone else is in the same boat. Should make for some varied teams in the future, and shake things up a little bit. Maybe this will be a good time to gamble hero points if they provide a 3-star only machine this week.

Yeah that's pretty much a gimme for everyone with exploited or huge spending 100+ Ragnaroks. Doubt I'll be able to make much of a dent with unlevelled 3/1/3 Iron Man 40, 1/0/1 Magneto Classic and hopefully tomorrow 2/2/3 Black Widow Grey. I guess I could try 1/1 Ragnarok instead.

Got a purple Original Widow cover. Seems like her blue skill would be really good for PvE and little else. How are we supposed to level her up?

Everyone seems to have terrible dudes though. Except those spidey ragnarok assholes.  Also I came out in the top 2 bracket! Woop!  Ahahahaha I love it! Gave me 1 purp, 2 blues.

Now that the widow stomping is over, I have the big decision - raise IM 40's yellow for the levels, or just sell the cover and shoot for 5-5-1 (someday)? I can't imagine ever using his yellow ability if it cost more than 6 AP, but selling a 3-star is just painful (especially after pulling 6 purple spiders before a single blue).

 Got #1 in Black Widow, had to play it super casual with how lazy my bracket was, I spent 20 of the last 25 minutes just waiting to make my move while sitting on 850 points. Was #1 with 915.

What sort of defensive setups were you guys with 800+ points running? Any time I got even close to 800 points I'd take a beatdown like above where I'd lose 100-150 points. I probably lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 700-800 points in the last day alone. My team was the pretty standard 85 Thor/85 Classic Storm/Suicide Widow.

SynthOrange posted:Up next: 3 star tournament. I found a new favorite combo. Iron Man 40's Recharge for up to 9 red AP. Ragnarok's Thunderclap for 6 red AP for damage and to change 5 tiles to green. Grey Suit Black Widow's Deceptive Tactics for more green tiles. If that doesn't cause a cascade or generate crits and extra turns, Level 4 Sniper Rifle at 18 green AP for a finisher. Oh and my Grey Widow is lv 50.

No Thors or Classic Storms? Goodness, how novel. Luckily I've ended up with quite a few 3 Stars. None of them are levelled much though, better rectify that I guess. IM40 definitely, dunno who else. Magneto and Grey Widow I'm leaning towards, mainly because they've got the most skills so have the most room for levels. Rewards came through. Top 25. New Widow seems kind of mediocre, but hey, another new cover for the collection. Think I might just start keeping at least one of everything now I've got more room.

I've got a few viable dudes to run with. Grey Widow is a monster with her ability to place 4 green tiles anywhere. She can target 3 points on the board which is great for shooting out Iron Man's recharges. And her sniper ability to nail everyone dead. Second spot is Dr Doom who can convert vast swatches of the board into black cascades and attack tiles. Third spot I keep switching it out. IM40 or Loki seem to work well.

OG Black Widow is a 2-star, and according to that iceX dev guy on their forum, she has a black ability they have to still implement. I'm guessing once they hash out what her black move will be, she'll be all over the drat place. I finished first in my bracket and only being able to level her slightly, her blue will heal like 150. I'm definitely going to level her as a cheap way to heal (reduced cost to 9 blues is her third blue cover perk, probably gets cooler from there), especially once she becomes more readily available. The IceX guy also said her blue heal is going to be patched to work even when there ARE countdown tiles on the board (at a 50% strength of a normal heal). Keep her on your watch list, for sure.

All my three stars are only one cover, but I'm going to try to grind to 100 points to finish off my Daken at least.

This may not be the most useful answer to your question but here was my experience: My bracket's top 1 oscillated between 700 and 800 points from Friday on. Seemed like anything above 700 would be crabbed down quickly. I hovered stably around 650, but I attribute that to having a lv 49 Grey Widow along with the typical maxed Thor/Classic Storm core. I figure most were like me and saw the leveled Widow then just hit skip. Personally if I came across someone with a 30+ Modern Storm I automatically skipped it because on average I would take more damage than the match was worth from obnoxious Hailstorm spams.

There are so many black widow characters now, but that costume is by far the best of all. Her Black/Blue/Purple strengths are pretty nifty, I could use more purple and black characters. So far the only thing I'm not impressed with is her signature low HP again. All these 85 Thors bouncing around are going to have her for breakfast.

I have 48 Points in the 3* as soon as I hit 50 for the gatcha machine I'm done. I got in top 10 for widow but the fact I only have two 3* with more than 1 cover is limiting also that only one of them can get to be over lvl 18. To win matches in the 3* use widow to make a crit tile that will fall between enviroment tiles so that you get enough to do their ult and kill the other team. It is the fastest way to win I have found.

Leveled widow teams were probably the shortest matches! The only teams I had trouble against were spideynoks, because gently caress that noise and anyone who lucked/cheated/bought there way into one! I actually didn't find the Spidey/Ragnarok teams a problem. Focus the Spidey and deny blue/red matches for a pretty easy win. If they score a Blue match Widow did an excellent job of eating the one stun they'd get off, often triggering Storm's passive right after. Usually the teams with both I encountered only had Spidey to around 70-80 and Rag around 100. If I was up to 10 of them I'd burn a +3 Blue/Purple boost to start the match and usually by the time I whittled Spidey down with Storm passives and straight matches I could use Storm's blue ability to lock down the sole remaining Rag. Winning matches was never really a problem though. I had little trouble chaining wins to get up to 1k on my first batch of health packs. It was losing 100+ points to losses often during the duration of a single match that took less than a minute and earned me 15-25 points if I was lucky. I guess the other way of looking at it is that I barely slipped into third place after the event was finished. A ten point swing the other direction would have probably kept me in top two.

I think I'll be sitting this tournament out. I have a level 25 The Hood, an Iron Man 40 that I could level up to about 25 or whatever, and a bunch of One Cover Wonders. I got a Ragnarok on my first day playing the game, when I spent some coins on a Heroic cover before realizing cover space was better. I still haven't found a 2nd Ragnarok cover though... fart simpson fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Nov 18, 2013 |

Holy poo poo, I hadn't looked at the prize structure till just now but whomever said "rich getting richer" earlier was dead on. Spider-Man covers galore for the top 25 (all likely running Spiderman/Ragnarok), while the scrubs get Juggernaut covers and Dakens. If you're really lucky you can grind your way up to a Red Captain America cover you'll never use.
