I tried out my lv50 maxed spidey in the SHIELD training and yeah... he's plenty good. Question: Are venom's and spidey's web tiles both interchangable/compatible with one another?

So if I'm faced with a difficult PVE mission (without Venom as enemy) I can make my team spidey, venom, and magneto now (purple power at 5), get the AP boosts, collect blue and purple, stunlock the enemy the entire round, and just devour the entire team?  Sounds too good to be true

I've finally gotten to a point where most missions can be won with an early iron man or moonstone kill and then spiderman lock down fueled by storm. I end with a big heal and then I'm good to go again. If I had another 2 blue covers it would be like 100%.

So just decided to give this a try and it's a great time waster so far. I read the OP but a lot of it kinda jumped over my head in areas, what should I be doing with my currency? Got like 1k plus iso and 225 hero points just sitting there not doing a lot because I don't wanna blow it on something dumb.

Got like 1k plus iso and 225 hero points just sitting there not doing a lot because I don't wanna blow it on something dumb. This thing from OP is reasonably good: For all you new folks: *Dont buy the 500 ISO lottery, save it *Always keep at least 1000 ISO on hand for boosts *Use boosts often, but only if they're giving you returns. Don't use them just to climb the ladders in tournaments, use them to get ISO and other rewards for progression *Use all your extra ISO (all the stuff above 1000-1500) for leveling up one character. That character should be Iron Man 35 or Thor. Everybody else can sit around at 12-15. *Spend all your Hero Points on Cover Slots. *Sell off your Hawkeye Classics, Venoms, Yelenas, and Juggernauts. Try to keep your 3-Star characters, but don't be shy about selling them for Hero Points if you need a slot for somebody like Storm Classic, Wolverine, or Thor. *IM35 is your early game tank, Thor is midgame, and Wolverine is endgame. Don't be shy about leveling any of these guys up, since IM will never to above 50 anyway. Mine never made it past 22 before i got a Thor *Play every PVP thing. Get through the first few ranks to nab yourself a couple recruit tokens and free ISO. Don't dig in too deep unless you're prepared to spend ISO. *Replay missions with HP rewards. Spend that HP on cover slots. Use recruit tokens to fill those slots. Repeat. *Dont use Bagman That about covers it

I'd go so far as to say not to sell Venom or Juggernaut for a starting player. I have a Venom at level 10, and he was crucial for winning the very last available mission with a level 115 Ragnarok. Venom and Juggernaut are also both tanky assholes; Venom even has a stun!

Yea I would say Juggernaut is a cheap mans Thor and fairly useful suicide bomb on harder enemies. Once you get Thor Juggernaut is kinda meh, but he's a good substitute until you can grab Thor

Also I was wondering why there's no Loki talk. For pink switch ability is amazing for only 5 AP and lets Thor or other chain attack teams get another shot at continuing the pain or chance at a crit tile for easily attainable AP

The loot explosion was also quite nice  The events tab feels a bit empty now, but I remember the craziness that was Lightning Round, Dark Avengers PVP and Hunt sub-events.

In the hunt I was able to score the Wolverine 3 pack, which was nice. I woke up at like 150th and quickly was able to climb back into top 50 but I didnt have the patience to keep running missions for like 20-30 pts to overcome the last 800 or so pts I needed to be #1. It would of cost me some $$ since I do not have a healer and needed revive tokens. All in all I got a ton of levels on a myriad of heroes, tons of covers, Iso and hero ponts so I cant complain. In the Dr Doom, I seem to have hit the slacker bracket right after the Hunt was over and I had no problem climbing the ranks to #1- #3. I too was going for #2 but I got edged out at the last seconds, literally, by #3 to overtake my 2nd place with 14 pts and not enough time to do anything about it. What hurt me as well, I got challenged and lost 20 pts at the last minute, so that 20 pts cost me the spidey 3 pack. I really needed the spidey yellow, because I didnt have it yet, but I was happy to score the blue and purp in 3rd place. It was a fine line to ride as well since #1 was within like 50 pts. So you couldnt just keep grinding and racking up the points. You had to ride that line just right but I ened up on the losing side of that one.

Normally I'd say not to sell any covers until you've maxed everyone out, assuming you're okay with chucking a buck or two into the game here and there. You never know who is going to be the next featured character in an event. That said, they haven't done a featured One Star character since the Juggernaut forever ago. I totally hosed up the Doom event. Went to a party yesterday, had some drinks, and left my phone somewhere so I couldn't play it. I could have used those easy Spider-Mans.

SynthOrange posted:Taking Blue to 5 means that instead of having healing OR timer increases, you'll always heal, even if timers are on the board. I thought I was going for a 3/5/5 build, but looking closer, the damage added at max level and skill for black matches is only 112, so 5/5/3 may be better, since that still takes 4 purple matches, but steals 4 purple back. Don't forget, black damage at 4 and 5 double dips on strike tiles.

Relentless posted:So, I'm being a complete cock and running Ragnarok/Storm** in the free for all tourney, but who's a good third for using all the spare yellow/black/purple AP? Thor is a great choice. I'm also partial to Daken (keeps red on the board during Thunderclap, plus bonus clap and combo damage) and Spider-man (lock-down, but no nuke). I imagine Loki, any of the Black Widows, Bullseye, and Hood, would also be solid choices if you've got them skilled/leveled more than I.

This no-buff thing isn't doing me any favors. My max level Thor and Wolverine keep limping out of battles barely alive with the third team member usually dead. I waited until about 10 this morning to start my first match. Match one was against a team of level 6's. After that, the usual parade of maxed Thors and Rags began. gently caress me.

I'm going to clean up that stuff in the OP a bit, so here goes nothing!
And here's the Average Early Team Progression for most players: Get a Black Widow Modern(5 Blue/3* Purple), Ironman 35 (5 Red, 5 Yellow, 3 Blue) and Storm Modern (5 Green, everything else can be whatever you like). Start a mission with +3 RY, +3BP, and +3All boosts. Make one blue match, stun the scariest guy, make two green matches, use Storm's lightning, spam abilities until dead. Over time, replace IM with Thor (5/5/3), Black Widow with Wolverine (5/3/5), and Storm Modern with Storm Classic (5/5/3). This is the most cookie cutter team, but it will work pretty much everywhere with everybody at or above Level 20. *Her purple ability gets really expensive and not all that useful as you level it up. 3 is the highest I would go, but since you aren't going to want he above level 20ish anyway (so she doesn't get priority for gems, and sits out front to be damaged) you can do even less than that if you want! Did I miss anything, excluding slacker bracket stuff? I didn't really want to dig too hard into PVP.

. This is why you want at least 1000-1500ISO—so you have a cushion in case you only get 210 a few times in a row.

What is everyone using for the NHB tournament? I haven't started yet but am trying to determine which team will give me the best chance of a decent run. I am definitely using Thor(78) and Spider-Man Classic(59) for lockdown, healing, and hammers to the face. My other options are Wolverine Astonishing(55) at 5/4/4 for added damage or Black Widow Original(42) at 5/3/2 for stealing tiles. I can't decide. I will probably take both teams to the Danger Room and see how they do. I am just curious what teams you other goons are using / planning on using.

I'm using a 1/5 66 Rag, a max level 5/5/3 Classic Storm, and a level 70 1/5/3 Spider-Man. I honestly don't care what my opponent's team is. If I start with 3 ALL and 3 red/yellow boosts, I try to make 1 or 2 red matches. Then Ragnarok can churn greens, Storm clears the board, and then I'm generally at a point where the opponent doesn't get to go again. Right before I finish off the last guy, I'll have Spider-Man heal up any incidental damage I took in the first couple of turns getting my red matches. When the opponent doesn't get to go, it doesn't matter who is on their team.

I just tried Thor/Spidey/Wolverine buffed with ALL/RY/PB and I definitely stomped a mudhole. Feral Claws -> Mjolnir's Might -> lucky yellow cascade -> Lightning Strike = Dead enemy Thor. I locked the other 2 down and leisurely beat them about the face and arms. I think I've found my team for this tournament. Thank you for your input, goons.

I'm rolling with my lvl 50 Iron Man 35, 40-ish Thor, and usually my 15 Classic Magneto or 40-something Modern Hawkeye. I'll skip until I can find someone who's 3 characters are all in the 30s (or lower) and I am using the All AP, Red/Yellow, Black/Green boosts. With a quick red match or two I can usually take out one guy right away with Iron Man and then with a couple of yellows, Thor can take out another one and while that's been going on I've been saving up blues and green for Mag/Hawk and Thor to put the hurt on the last guy. For where I am in the game it works pretty good. edit: I suck at games and this is probably a bad idea.

IM and Thor don't really work well together because they fight over red and yellow. If you have maxed IM yellow, you could theoretically funnel all that AP into IM and make a buttload of protect tiles, but that just elongates the match when you can thwack out 1000 damage with Thor and kill the dangerous guys outright. I think if you swapped out IM for somebody that can churn the board into something fresh, and MAYBE swap Hawkeye for a different stunner or a character with non-RYG priority, you could easily tackle teams above your level and win.
