During PvP tournaments, is there any reason to NOT just skip people until you can find someone you can just roll over?

Wait for someone you can roll and is worth a least 20-25 points. Otherwise they can retaliate and you will lose more points then you gained.

Good god, went to sleep at 1, woke up at 400ish and 5000 points down. Good thing rubberbanding was giving me 1000 points for the first mission to catch up.

Well, from that update I guess that wasn't intentional then, haha. I have no idea how they managed to break everything, but I'm glad they did.

Man, the PVE in this game gets really hard. Draken's giving me a tough time - I'm trying to grind the last Thor part and he tears me apart 1/3 of the time if I don't heal up.

At least the impossible fights against the soldiers are doable. But seriously!

Black Widow is good for those fights as he won't heal or place strike tiles while stunned and it'll slow down his minions as he won't be funnelling AP straight to their abilities.

Yelena's team in the repeatable Alaska mission has been replaced by 3 level 15 HAMMER grunts for me, still giving 80 pts too.

e: aaand the 230 230 230 team is 3 level 60 HAMMER guys, but none of my team are boosted. Still an assload easier.

Thornament is totally gone from my listings though, I thought it ends in 5h40m?

Grabbed a heroic token a 800 in the Thornament, now I'm in 2nd.

Jokes on them though. I don't want Doc Doom, I want moonstone. Crab away :smug:

Doom does seem more useful, but IW would unlock some missions for The Hunt.

Only one cover though, and Sue's missions are the highest level of the repeatables. Not sure how helpful that'd be, unless she's obscenely boosted.

I just need her to be conscious for the mission. Under a dozen hit points? Good enough, get back in there.

Uh oh. I got the option to send out the 140 iso reward to only three people. Is that the new cap now?

I wish I hadn't trained up Sue's powers. At lvl 38 her hit points are still terrible (like 200 hit points more maybe?) and she takes about 45 mins to revive. If I had kept them separate at least I could run her mission more often.

Isn't the send reward to 3 people option pretty common?

I've only seen send 70 to 3, or 140 to 10 (used to be 25) if you're not sharing mission special rewards, which are also to 3 people.

I'm wondering what their thinking with the Hunt was and if it's related. Have regular events that throw out tons of iso and reduce bonuses so people dont have to facebook scum as much.

10 days for the whole event feels like forever though. Wonder if there's more to come or if what we've seen is all we're getting.

Man, I'm going for Moonstone, and I've had to keep clawing my way back into the 11-25 range. Lots of turnover from the people going for Doom, I guess.

E: also since I started playing this weekend I hadn't thought of waiting for rating slingshot near the end of the time limit, so I got high early and have been a nice juicy target for everyone.

You can attack people, surrender, and then yield to drop points.

Dark Avengers tournament started, pretty weird, but huge rewards. First place is a bum IW cover, 2nd place gets one of each Spider-Man cover. Good luck shooting for the silver medal guys!

The new tournament looks fun! Also has moonstone rewards which meshes perfectly with my decision to nab all her covers. She's at 1 Purple, 3 black, 1 Red now.

They're really trying to trickle out invisible woman now. It's gonna be great when everybody wants those Spidey covers and somebody gets stuck with IW :allears:

Sweet, time to sit out a tournament because my only levelled Dark Avengers are a 50 Daken and 20 Bullseye.

Also I like this new thing they're doing where #1 is a booby prize for whales who have everything else.

Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
Things were all calm in my slacker top 2, and then 3 other people started climbing and we were all trading off with getting attacked and getting our own points. I have no idea if i'm going to get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. :ohdear:

My 2nd equal counted for top 2, wonder if it did for that other guy too. Doom 3/2 now, he's my best out of my Lightning Round characters now, maybe I can put in a better showing.

I got top 5 too, I'm not sure how. When the round ended I was in first (frantically trying to yield more matches, but I was still in first when it ended. Then someone yielded to me and I got even more points. I'm just glad that I got two dooms rather than 1 Sue Storm.

OK, I am not sure what to do for this tournament. I definitely want to pick up the two blue spideys I need this week though.

I have a Ragnarok at his max level for the covers I have (77) and a max level venom.

At basic levels (6 or 1) I have: Moonstone, Bullseye, Yelena. Level 37 Daken. All of these characters have max covers (except Moonstone, I still need two black for her).

Should I just level up Daken, because I won't be able to put anyone else up serious levels?
