I'm scared that I'm nearly done with Lightning Rounds now. My Magneto is missing one Red and I'm not straining for Top 2 to get it, my Doom is 5/5 and my Rag is 5/5. Loki rounds should be cake to get two covers from, so it's down to just The Hood and figuring out how I want him skilled.

delfin posted:That surprises me because it is contrary to how the purple skill is supposed to work (5 blue and 1 red SHOULD do 1 swap damage). I expect screaming and nerfing-to-how-it's-written at some point. I was definitely surprised to read that. I'm pretty sure I'll always have a better use for red, so having a potential 6k+ damage for 10 purple is going to win. iRend posted:Have lightning rounds stopped for now? Was that only a temporary thing? The lightning rounds are a weekly thing from mid day Tuesday to mid day Thursday. Times and length have varied a little but they've been going for over a month now I think.

Well it's good they're not on all the time. I have a ps4 which has been gathering dust since I opened this game, now I don't have a 3 star card to win every 2 hours I might finally finish some other games!

I'm pretty sure your final rank in The Hunt will be entirely determined by how much grinding you do in its final moments. Which is kind of dumb considering it's a 9 day event.

And people in the back can slingshot to the top thousands at a time. It's kinda insane. Though you do run out of grinding options. I literally can't compete anymore in the Savage Lands and got knocked out of the heroic token reward. I wouldn't be surprised if I get knocked out of 3 normal tokens either  I just hope that my bracket can make it to 15k so that I can earn a heroic token.

What's the typical build for IM40? I'm getting red covers out the rear end and still don't have blue or yellow.

5/5/3 seems to be the best 13-cover setup. However a lot of people don't like the yellow power past 1 (gets too expensive, yellow at 1 is easier to spam, etc.) so they like to go 5/5/1 at the cost of missing out on some levels. But I guess it's possible that IM40s powers will be revised in the future.

That one dude said he likes yellow at 4 so it doesn't gently caress with Thor using his yellow when it is played by AI and I liked that as far as ideas go. Not like you ever get to use blue anyway. That said it's not like you ever want to use IM40's red attack over 2x Thor red probably. I'd probably only use IM40 when he's super boosted or mandatory anyway I guess.

My Thor is currently 4/2/3 and I just got another red cover, is it worth throwing it in? Or should I be going for 5 in another color?

Evil Vin posted:My Thor is currently 4/2/3 and I just got another red cover, is it worth throwing it in? Or should I be going for 5 in another color? I like 5/5/3 since you can toss out the red instantly if you run with full color boosts and with some luck that could let you shoot out a yellow too for huge damage before the enemy even moves.

So this is pretty fun for a match three game and I'm really just getting started. Should I mostly just keep doing all the story missions and never buy packs except with tokens or buy packs as often as I can? Which pack should I buy I don't actually know the difference.

The one that costs iso will reliably fill out all your 1* characters, very very rarely giving anything above that. The heroic pack which costs hero points will give 2* characters at minimum. They will usually be 2* characters. They vary from essential (Thor, Wolverine), decent (Daken, Black Widow Original) to what the gently caress (Bag-Man). Spend iso on packs if you want, since there's always more iso, but use most of it to level your characters. Also buy as much cover space as you can with iso, then spend the hero points you earn in game on it til you've got about 20 or so slots. More if you're obsessive.

Only buy packs with tokens - the standard pack is chock-full of 1-star and 2-star characters you will get from the story missions, and the heroic pack costs HP which you'll need to buy cover slots as starting out you'll unlock way more characters through the story than you will have slots. Basically never buy the 1100 HP packs. Story missions are a pretty good idea until you have a good roster, but check out the Hunt missions and do what you can before they expire because it has good rewards even if you can't place highly at the end of it.

That said, they've replaced some of the ISO and Covers you got while progressing through the story when we did it in the good old days with Standard Recruitment Tokens so you're better off using mostly those.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I ended up with 18 standard covers from the last couple hunts and every single one of them was a 1-star. On the flipside, in the latest hunt every one-time mission I've done has given me 500 iso. So it's swings and roundabouts.

I need Gambit853 to win more matches!! I doubt if 200 lead is enough to secure 2nd in Bad is Good. I want more Spidey!! This one ends at 1:30am my time, I don't really want to have to stay up for it.

Black Widow Original is one of the best 2* support characters out there, and she's the only healer apart from Spidey.

His yellow at 5 will go down in to cost 15, as well as not end the turn at 5 covers letting you plug two 3x3 holes wherever you want in the board and collect the AP/damage from the tiles. Basically what we wish Grey Widow's red skill would do. Blue at 5 means whenever there are 9 tiles for the passive to work, you'll steal an AP every round which seems better to me than his last power which affects all your friendly countdown timers instead of just 3 at three covers. I rarely ever have that many friendly countdown timers to worry about so it seems like a waste to me maxing black compared to taking blue to five.

Fat-fingered a Standard token and burned Hero Points on a Hunt Heroic. Now I'm going to have to do some grinding to make a roster slot for whatever Punisher I end up getting.

omnibobb posted:My Original Black Widow is sitting at 1 Purp and 2 Grey. Should I be leveling her? I just have her sitting there... Yes yes yes yes. Her abilities are awesome. Purple you're not really going to use much. It's expensive but somewhat useful when you get a chance. At least it will boost your team's Purple match damage. Blue is, in my opinion, one of the best Blue abilities out there. She heals the whole team for over 1k at her level/skill cap. That sounds great and all, but it allows you to keep playing the same team over and over (without Wolverine) in events which is huge. It's also useful for PVE - pyros are a lot less scary when their countdown timer says 8. Black is also really great for fueling your AP fast which is super helpful no matter what team you have. Charge up those Purples and steal MORE AP, which means you can pop her healing multiple times every match. At max level, I believe her Blue/Purple/Black matches all do an extra 112 damage. I would recommend not skilling up Purple past 3 so you can max Blue/Black when the time comes.

Goddamnit, loving Thor. Thor Thor Thor. 4 of my last 6 2-star token pulls have been Thor. I've had him maxxed for weeks now. I'd almost rather have placed lower in my bracket to get multiple 1-star tokens.
