I have had the one for a while. Ideally they would release chapter 1 of the game so we can use any of the boost. As much fun as PVP is, nearly everyone has high level heroes and starting to have decent 3* heroes. Chapter 1 either has to be much tougher than the prologue or be too easy for everyone that has been playing.

You know what's a really fun team?

Thor, Grey Widow, and Wolverine.

If you start with all color boost, red/yellow boost, and green/black boost, a maxed green Wolverine can begin the round by creating 4 strike tiles. If you have a maxed red Thor you can then nuke the enemy to create yellow, and potentially nuke them again with the yellow skill. If nothing's on the board start matching purple so you can set up a green critical with Grey Widow's skill to let Wolverine make more strike tiles.

I've only been able to get purple covers for Grey Widow and I was wondering about how crazy that would be to funnel all those greens into Wolverine. As it is, I'm just happy to get any use out of her in the 3 star tournament right now. For the longest time it was Iron Man 40, Spider Man, and whatever single cover characters were left.

I didn't start using Wolverine for anything until recently, now that he's over level 50. He's on meat shield duty now. With a maxed Thor and level 52 Captain America, this Avengers weekend may be quite profitable. I'm using Cap more because I'm sick of my Widow getting Thor-hammered before she can get 9 blue together!

That is my avengers team as well. I have been holding off in using the green/black boost until the last hour. Right now I can still curb stomp every team as it is right now. Grey widow's purple move is deadly with +200-300 strike tiles behind it.


Also aim for teams with iron man model 35 or 40 on them. The ai will use the first ability it has ap for, so you never have to worry about Thor's yellow ability. Then just grab all the reds for yourself and watch the other team flounder.

And only now does it occur to me that the bonus damage to Avengers would be really helpful for this tournament. It was even better than I thought.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, even though I only need to hang onto top 25 for a Spidey Blue. It's bunched tightly enough that it'll only take a couple of "hi I have 100 points on the last day but I'll attack you because nyahh"s to crab me.

Just gotta keep punching above my weight class and burning boosts like a mad Spaniard.

Definitely 500 for Avengers. I wish people in my bracket would hurry up and get their poo poo together and earn some more points so that I can push ahead and get that 600-point Wolverine cover.

It doesn't matter who is in your bracket because you actually fight everyone, so you can fight people from other brackets. So everyone competes for like the same pool of points or whatever, but you get compared against your bracket to see how many you have vs. how many they have.

Even with muliple boosts, my 3 star retards got cleaned out two matches in a row. So much for getting another blue Spider Man. I think I'd rather have to use Classic Bullseye right now than him. I guess when your only real damage dealer is Iron Man 40, you're destined to lose.

And Jonny Aces just HAS to be one of you guys.

Tis the way of the thing. A couple of weeks ago I was jealous of all those people with their maxed Thors, now mine's maxed and I can't stop getting them.

I was tempted to pay for Wolverine's last covers with HP, but I just know what will happen if I do...

Earlier I mentioned getting a red thor from a standard token after working towards the red thor in this tournament, which finished him off skillwise. Just fought tooth and nail for (2nd place in my bracket, and) the 500 avengers prize, an avengers token. I got another red thor, for a total of three today. :v:

Welp, stayed in the 50-100 as planned.

Dumped all that Jugg Iso into IM 40 to prep for the Avenger bracket.

Pulled a Heroic pack like a fool because I had decent luck from it this week.

Heroic pulls:

-Modern Hawkeye (Red); Useful. Hawk is now 4/3/3

-Classic Magneto (Red); Didn't have one

-Modern Hawkeye (Purple); That's 150 HP sent to the Iso woodchipper. :(

Just saw this. I guess they are trying to curtail the ridiculous amount of free ISO that we get.

New players are only minorly affected - those attacks still don't do much damage when they go off, though they add up pretty quickly.

I honestly think it makes PvE more interesting since you now see more than one countdown tile every 2-3 turns.

I got up to the 500 point range for avengers and got another IM40 red. So that was nice. Then I decided to push my luck and used 300 hp and got wolverine red :sigh:

And on a side note I can't win a single match on the 1* tournament.

Is there any activity during this Avengers tourney at all? I'm a bit above 600 right now and all the opponents I've skipped past would've only given me 1-3pts. After skipping like the 20th dude the game simply ran out and closed the tourney for me. I can open it again if I wait a bit but the opponent selection is still pretty bad.

You lucky SOB. I only stayed in the Top 50 with my garbage team.

I's so much more refreshing to be back eviscerating people in the Avengers Tournament after that week of hell. I really can't live without Wolverine's green ability now. You get some greens, get six reds for Thor, activate Feral Claws for two strike tiles, then Mjolnir's Might and let the combos roll in. I call that game "remember when you had a maxed Thor?".
