If I normally play this game on my phone, and download and play it on my ipad and sign in with the same facebook account as on my phone, will it sync up with my phone, or will it start from scratch?

What's the best skill distribution for Thor?

5 red / 5 yellow / 3 green is the most popular and probably overall best. 5 red / 4 yellow / 4 green is mostly as good, though. Anything other than these two choices will be much worse.

Yeah, that. I ended up with 5/4/4 because of the skill/cover changes a few weeks back, and it's not bad. But there are a lot of times that I needed 1 less yellow AP to beat a dude down, and very rarely do I wish my green skill were cheaper.

Kind of. Red is just really good at rank 5 because it means that you can use his red ability for 6 AP (two matches).

I got more coins than I thought I would from the Heroic Event. Now I'm sitting on 2200 coins and I'm just not sure what to do with them. I already have 30 slots in the roster, and it's a staggering 400 coins per slot right now. I guess I could get up to 35 (assuming the cost stays constant until then - if it's consistent with earlier tiers, I expect it to increase again at 35).

With the new roster changes there's no reason to have more slots than the number of characters you want. I think there's currently only 26 characters, so there's really no point going over that. With the rate of free heroic tokens, you're probably better off saving to spend on 3* powers, or the expensive packs to unlock 3* powers, or sitting on them until more characters are released.

The phone and the tablet will share one server-side save, and you'll get a slight load time each time you switch because the save game is downloading.

It's about the update, and the new look I think. If you force close and re-open it should be there again.

Weird, I just got a popup "Nice work, you were a top 75 finisher in the Thor tournament" and got a daken cover and some ISO. Maybe it's to do with that bugged Juggernaut event that I got to play a few matches in.

Keep in mind that many of us have a shitload of buddies now. Even when it's generous and decides to send to 25 people instead of three when I get a reward, you might have a 1-in-3 or 1-in-4 chance of being selected. When it sends to three people, good luck.

I like 5/3/5 because I really only try to get a lot of environment tiles in events with boosted characters and Storm isn't very helpful there anyway, but I could be way off base.

I prefer 5/5/3 because I don't find the extra Hailstorm tiles all that worth it, especially when they tend to disappear fast. Storm's great strength is in clearing the board, and level 5 green and red lets her clear more of it and more often. It also tends to set up a lot of cascades which lead to more colors for other characters' powers which leads to dead enemies faster.

I'm actually enjoying the 3* tournament. Of course, it helps that I have some 3*s to use, but none of them are over level 60 yet, so it's not like I'm King poo poo of Whale Mountain.

My top four (Spider-Man, Doom, Widow, IM40 in varying combinations) are making me think about board combinations instead of just racing to red and yellow and splattering everything (or red-and-green when Wolverine's available). Given a board of gems, should I push purple and use Deceptive Tactics to set up criticals and then Sniper Rifle? Should I pump blue into Spider-Man for lockdown, or Technopath it into lots of black to spawn daemons? Have I got enough yellow cleared to throw some Web Bandages if I need them? If I'm clearing all this red to play keep-away from Ragnaroks and IM40s, is a Unibeam worth it or should I save it for Pistols to pop enemy Recharge tiles?

I'm trying not to get my hopes too high. I'm #2 in my bracket right now and don't see the Usual Gang of Overachievers on my bracket, but it's way too early to even think about placing. I only have to hit top 25 to put Spidey Blue at level 4, which is a major breakpoint for it, but are my mid-level guys going to stand half a chance even with boosts come Friday?

I find it odd that Grey Widow has two powers involving green gems but her gem strengths are purple blue black. She's the only 3 power character I'm aware of whose gem strengths don't match the power colors.

What's really, more than anything else, really depressing about the 3-star tourney is that the reward for 90% of the participants is loving Juggie. So basically, the guys with either no 3-stars or total scrubs get the 1-star sellbait.

edit: I take it back. Clawed to 275 for the heroic with scrub single covers, and got Bag Man. Shook it off to climb up to 500 for the second heroic cover. Bag Man again.

I don't know where I finished but I put in a ticket earlier in the week about not getting a prize pop up, and I got this email an hour ago -

Hello!

We have implemented a fix that should have just sent out the missing rewards for the Thor tournament.
If you don't receive them the next time you boot up the game please let us know!
So I'd say it was a wide-spread problem.

triplexpac posted:

5 Green. Everything else is personal choice - 5R is good if you're not saving those reds for direct damage like 90% of teams are set up to do, 4R gets the cost down to two matches only, but 3R has the exact same effect and does the exact same damage as the others for 1 more AP. 3B-5B does more damage and ties up more tiles for each point and doesn't conflict with the majority of your direct damage.
I personally went 5/3/5 because if I'm spending red to clear out environment tiles for a fixed damage per tile I want lots of environment tiles at once so it's timing that matters more than cost, and most of the time - outside of triggering an exceptionally heavy cascade - it's more damage to just spend that cost directly on a Mjolnir or Repulsor Blast.

I figured holding onto hose Thors and making a second one will save on Health Kits somewhere down the road. I think I did sell off one or two in the past, but I should have decent cover space now.

I cannot get any more three star covers for the life of me, even after two Heroic tokens. I maxed Wolverine's skills and got another Grey Magneto, but that does gently caress-all for this tournament. I have a tricolor Spidey and Model 40 Iron man that are barley worth a drat. The rest are one skill wonders. I used all my luck on the Thor Tournament, I guess. I still need another green and yellow Classic Storm, though.

I also noticed today that I got a completely new batch of 25 people to send rewards to, so hopefully it randomizes every time.

Someday the Bag-God will crush you all. You will tremble before his ridiculous might in the Bag-Man/Hawkeye/Yelena Belova only tournament.

I need to figure out what to sink ISOs into now that I have Classic Storm and Thor maxed. I've got a 5/5 Daken so that's a possibility. All my 3*s are many covers away from the cap, so throwing ISOs at a 3/1/3 Iron Man 40 or 2/2/3 Black Widow Grey seems ill advised till I get more covers. (cap on my current Widow is only 64) Currently up to 18385 ISOs and itching to burn some.

5/5 Daken is a very handy utility option for a third slot behind Thor/CStorm, another good alternative is a 5/4 Venom (5 in Snare isn't the end of the world, but arguably the cheaper single stun is more useful, particularly if you're ever aiming for a team devour)

Yeah I have both Daken and Venom in the high 20s, may finish off Daken for now and stockpile ISOs hoping to get a few more 3* covers down the road. I've just been a little reluctant to invest in Daken considering how I jump on any Daken/Wolverine teams I see as they tend to be easy pickings for Thor/CStorm.

The same could be said with the lowbie on a stick and CStorm+Thor (most of the time), but that may happen less in coming tournaments with the boost working on HP too.

No, I've done both and it's not really the same. In these tournaments I usually find Thor will get hit at least once a battle, and after just a few battles his health is significantly lower.

I've been a Thor - Wolvie guy for a while because that way I have both staying power (focus on green, Feral Claw everything to death) and home run power via the hammer, and three solid colors for doing damage.

One of my 3* teams (IM40 / Grey Widow / Doom) is perfectly color balanced, maybe too well.
