It's a bad idea to take the IM40 yellow skill past level 3, right?

Got my PC and Mobile accounts linked, had some confusion. I gave up on waiting for my ticket and sent an email to mobilesupport@d3p.us and got a response next day to the tune of "we were only doing this for beta, game is now live" but I responded saying I was in beta and they hooked me up. In celebration here's a screenshot of the amazing UI for the train/info page for a hero on PC. Best hero ever for the example ofcourse. http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/685968273224309653/CBE6967C28A0E2519705717D675697B8270DBCE4/

I still get a lot of use out of him. At level 40, his headbutt does 1100 damage, which is enough to one shot a lot of middle level support characters, like Storm and Black Widow. +3 All AP and +3 Red/Yellow AP, and you're set to do it right from turn 1. Bring in a +3 Green/Black, and you can follow up with an unstoppable crash if you want.

Since IM40 appears to be a favorite of the developers, I hope we'll see a revision of his yellow sometime down the line (like Spidey's purple), so that it'll be more balanced. I want to go 5/3/5 because at 20AP I don't think I'll ever get to fire off his blue power.

Okay, gently caress the Punisher. Give us the dinosaur. Sure, he's rubbish, but he's a loving dinosaur. Time to check what slacker bracket I can end up in for Double Shot, I'll be asleep when it ends probably, so not going to put too much effort in there. And another Thornament, that should be fun. Might just jump straight into that one and try for the 1400 point Invisible Woman. No chance at getting the top rank I don't think, slacker bracket or not. May as well go harpoon a few whales.

Ghostlight posted:It gets increasingly expensive which slows down how often you can use it - like at level 1 it was just funnelling straight into Thor, but at level 3 you're basically choosing between Thunderstrike and Recharge. Taking Recharge to 4 just means IM40's blue doesn't stun, which is no biggy since there's cheaper and longer stuns and cheaper team attacks, so if you're pairing with a Widow to use that purple to steal more AP then it's perfect. Yeah IM40 with 3 in yellow just sits there looking like a big stupid dummy on the repeatable IM40 mission for me with 85 wolvie and 82 thor. That mission stopped giving me any points for some reason though. The top one gave 579 so I decided to give it a try (with boosts) came out the first time with Thor down 50% and everyone else fine, next time was a wipe but won consistently since then. I always kill Yelena first because Payback mission makes those strike tiles risky as hell. Venom next because 4k devour is ouch and then Daken. I found a potential (not really worth it) use for IW's blue in that for example if Daken has a strike tile in a match 3 that contains two of your strike tiles you can bubble some of your strike tiles, make the match and kill his strike tile. Ofcourse she only gets tiles allocated to her if Thor is dead and I lost that round because I bubbled his strike tiles instead of mine but hey, learning experience. The different brackets for the different Hunt events is doing some interesting things. I find I can catch up easily each time I go to play - in both brackets too, I think the catch up rubber banding mechanic is based on your position in the main event so I get thousands of points of lead in my Alaska event bracket. Ofcourse the same seems to apply to everyone else. Every time I pick up the game I'm at ~200-400 in the main event and every time I stop playing I'm in the top 5.

Started playing this on Steam yesterday and I guess I got lucky getting Iron Man Model 40 out of the 150 gold lottery. Is it worth upgrading the starting Iron Man still or should I not worry about him since I have the upgraded version?

Stick with the basics til you've got a stronger team, it will be a while before you get more IM40 covers probably. That said, until your IM35 is level 12 or so you probably want to use IM40 just because of his tile match damage. IM35 is a strong character though and should form the backbone of your IM35, Modern Storm and Black Widow team for PvE and early PvP. I always kept my IM35 ahead of the rest in terms of priority for levelups and I think it worked out well.

IM40 is really more of a later game character. As your heros become stronger, they have much more hit points, so you can actually build up the AP needed to fire off their abilities. In the early game, this is a detriment, because most matches will be over before you fill up a 3 star hero's abilities. Core characters: Thor 2*, Wolverine 2*, Iron Man 1* Iron Man is a solid tank and being 1*, you'll quickly max out his abilities. Thor 2* has one of the cheapest red abilities and hits pretty hard. Pairs up well with Wolverine who has healing and ridiculously cheap green strikes. Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Dec 7, 2013 |

His skill is nice, but I guess nobody really measures up well against buffed Thor and IM40. Who were the other two members of the team. He should have been buffed as well. Looking at him a bit closer, he's actually pretty great. Poor dinosaur. Can I take the opportunity to ask how Nick Fury is friends with a dinosaur, and why the hell hasn't he had a film yet?

Unless you're fine spending money, use the gold on increasing the number of cover slots. You'll get tokens to pull from the lotto at a decent pace, but you'll never get free slots on their own. 2. Keep upgrading the starter until you have a better replacement (probably Thor). The hero levels are capped based on the ability levels of that hero, so until you get more covers for IM40, he's stuck at level 15.

The one at Avengers Tower? That's just to unlock the other missions, no repeats. The points come from completing the other hunt missions.

But the points from the other missions aren't going into that pool. At least they don't seem to be for me. Edit: or they are and I am dumb. Cousin Todd fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Dec 7, 2013 |

Putting a guaranteed IM40 in that tournament was pretty nice. I've got 3 IM40 reds now, and had all that ISO saved up to instantly bring him into 'Don't bother attacking this guy' range.

Is grey widow any good? I'm sitting at #19 in my Iron Man bracket and trying to decide if to try and keep it to get her started or just get the two powers for Thor which I can both use at my current level. Edit: Also about 100 ranks out of top ten so probably not getting up there in the next 30 minutes. take me you ANIMAL fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Dec 7, 2013 |

Yay more Widow covers. Waited till 24 minutes left in the Iron Man tournament, jumped in, ended up top ten. Probably could have made a push for top two, but I'm busy mining in FFXIV.

I think she could be a beast if she had all her powers and was leveled up. Her purple power can set up some absurd cascades with a few levels but unfortunately I don't have her green cover so I can't really do anything with all the green ap.

Her green power is actually quite terrible, it just destroys a bunch of tiles and then deals extra damage. No AP production at all. Her purple is her bread and butter. Also, if any of you are "Gestalt" I'm sorry for scooping you out of a comfortable second place (before I blasted through the difference between 2nd and 3rd was like 200 points) but that will teach you to sit around during the last 2 hours of the tournament

I got really lucky and rolled a Recharge IM40 so I just started saving up 12 yellow AP and pooping out unmatchable yellow tiles. Which was great because I got enough jungle tiles to use thorned rose like four times and then flooded the screen with yellows. At that point it didn't even matter if any got matched, I still maxed out my red and kept swinging that hammer.

Hunt: Alaska is closing soon. Here's a tip on trying to get that last mission: Criticals and the Environment bonus. That's the key to solving the mission if you dont have a ludicrous character. Jump in the mission with the bonus critical damage and damage to dark avengers boosts, and hope that you can line up the environment tiles to make a critical and use that critical to match more environment tiles and you should have enough environment AP to start making a self sustaining loop if you've got a boosted Hawkeye in the team. Crit + 2 env tiles = 400 environment ap, enough to make 10 more crit tiles, repeat. It's an all or nothing gamble with this method, either you make the crit matches or you dont, then your team gets wiped out when Venom eats you.
