Congrats big boy
What are good parings for a mid level group? I have my Thor almost maxed, but have trouble deciding who to use with him. I like Hawkeye modern as I got most of his covers from the event last week and he does decent damage with blues and purples but am not sure who to use as my third. All my three stars have at most three covers, so they are out for now and other than Storm Classic, have no one near full covers. Any suggestions?

Amen to that. I love my Thor/Wolverine/Modern Hawkeye group. Hawkeye withdraws back and pulls out Wolverine, and he'll heal up most of the damage anyway.

Hahahaha Ragsy now has 5 red covers. With +3 to all/+3 to red I can triple-Thunderclap, dealing 1,200 damage (at current level 70) and creating 15 green tiles. After a couple crits and the occasional cascade, these tiles will go straight to Grey Widow - which should get her fifth green cover tomorrow - so she can multi-shot everyone in the head for 3,000 damage. Then? I make my first move.

I like when you come across someone who is clearly trying to tank. I saw someone running a minimum leveled team of Bag-man, Yelena and Classic Hawkeye

The thing is, until I knew this was a strategy from posting here, I was just like :woop: free 15 points!

Now that I have a self-healing team, I'm seeing how many times I can slapfight someone until they give up. So far I'm up to three imaculate beatdowns in a row against a Thor/IM 40/Grey Widow team. Someone's probably down a phone after throwing it at a wall.

And a new terrain type - Desert!

50: A lush oasis appears on the horizon. 6 random tiles become basic Green tiles.

200: A sudden sand storm envelops the battlefield, creating 6 critical tiles.

Seems like it's a Hunt style unlock a bunch of areas to fight in thing as well. This should be fun.

Yeah, if they keep this up with other tournaments, it'll stop people loving around to make sure they don't get first place.

Looking at my game top 300 also gets all rewards from the next rank.

Personally I preferred the mixed nuts caper!
So, Punisher is my favorite comic book character and basically the whole reason I started playing this game is hoping I'd eventually get to play as the Punisher...but like hell I am paying for that 3600 HP guaranteed Punisher pack.

Yeah, but that's if you have at least 10 greens on the field at first rank. Later ranks will probably up the number.

I wonder if his Black passive will become instant with ranks.

It looks like it makes more green tiles actually. The enemy Hulk in one of the missions has a powered up black and it makes three greens for every black countdown. He's going to be hitting his allies a lot.

At least Wolverine is appreciating the storm of green AP.

There's a Steam sale going on, so its possible that we're going to get 50% off for the DLC packs. Also, apparently if you have a Ukrainian gifter, you can get an even bigger discount.

Probably, but I'm guessing the brackets are a lot bigger this time, so getting started sooner should be ok.

You should at least play the initial missions to unlock the Hulk Sightings, which only have like 24 hrs as opposed to the main event's 8 days.

The brackets are 50 million players. Good luck with that. :v:

And you need to be able to beat groups of level 100+ enemies to continue, which I'm sure would be fine if you play all the drat time but when my highest levelled character is 47 this is beedonk.

I could see the top 10 in my bracket for the main event before I completed a match, so you probably can't attempt to game it by waiting it out, anyway.

Looks like the main event is unbracketed, and the 50 million is how many points to unlock hulk. The side events are brackets of 2000, and I haven't noticed any rubberbanding point values yet.

The side 24 hour events are bracketed into 2000 players, only the main event has all the players.

Desirable rewards up to 50,000 points, after doing everything non-punisher I have 266. I can repeat them for 7 points though!

I hope scaling kicks in later.

I think a Hulk/Daken/Wolverine team could be amazing. It'd be Strike Tiles everywhere. Think the main problem would probably be running out of red tiles to Strikify.

I did everything in the main hulk event, the Nevada, and Canada ones... hulk just jumped away, and I don't see anything new to do.


Also, taking out boosted crit multipliers was a dick move. Good luck seeing the ultimate environmental ability now.
