What's the best build for Grey Magneto? I just pulled 4 purple covers on 5 standard tokens.

Earlier in the thread I asked about that and it was recommended to max out the purple skill not just for generating blue AP, but for making critical tiles and cascades. I have the similar skill on Grey Widow maxed out and it is fantastic for getting you out of tight spots when the board is stacked against you. Then since she only has one green cover, Wolverine uses all that green instead to leave strike tiles everywhere. I'd probably funnel all of Magneto's blues into my Spider-Man to insure the enemy never takes another turn.

Well, looks like we're off to Greenland and Romania today on the Hulk World Tour.

And three star rumble is back I guess.

I get a Punisher in last round's tokens and *naturally* this one doesn't have anything Punisher-locked. Bah.

Captain America is going to be this rounds Thor in terms of token rewards. Calling it now.

Although it would be nice if I could get that last green I need to finish Wolverine who I never use.

Wolverine is indeed amazing. At least until you have him maxed and then both HC's you get are Wolverine's :negative:

I keep getting red Wolvies when I only want yellow. At least he's my second one so I don't have to use him. I didn't max green first time around.

Question: Do the "20% red and yellow damage" boosts affect abilities as well as matches, or just the latter?

/\ /\ I'm pretty sure it's just matching those colors.

Got myself a wolvie/cap dud token reward combo as well (maxed). Then I thought how cool a blue Spidey or any punisher would be and did the powered up token daily deal like a dumb dildo and got another cap :downsgun:

Like Kravdraa said, they're two stars and the rest are three so it's weighted that your chances are you'll get those two, but drat. I felt like one of three would deliver. The luck isn't with me today.

I've gotten a green Thor reward and I don't think I can acquire enough HPs to expand my roster capacity in time. Which of my thus far unupgraded two–stars should I sell to make room for him: purple Magneto NOW!, black Moonstone, or yellow Classic Storm?

I'd say Moonstone, but they're giving so many of her covers that you'll probably max her before any of the other 2-stars; CStorm has been nerfed pretty bad but she's still strong, so I guess that leaves Magneto. Classic is the One True Magneto anyway.

Or you can sell Thor, he's just a dollar store Ragnarok.

I'm kind of curious to try him out with Ragnarok but his green ability doesn't generate me AP and/or cause cascades like CStorm or Grey Widow.

The last 20 minutes of the NHB was pretty crazy. 7 people were are fighting for the top spots. I'm hoping my last match put me in 2nd place but I'll take a top 5 spot.

EDIT: drat it, top 5 again.

So i placed 11th in NHB, and now have 2 black widow classic purple covers i'm not sure if I want to use - should I go 3/5/5 or 5/5/3? The extra AP use would suck, 8ap to steal 3 is amazing, but 11ap to steal 4 is a bit harder to get off. And Espionage is only used if she has control of the tile, so i'm not sure which way to go.

Grats on the 2nd place finishes! My bracket ended up being pretty crazy too - got top 10, but was aiming for top 5. My team was easy to attack, so I guess that contributed to it :)

Dropped from three to seven in the last two minutes. The top two hap it by at least a hundred points so it was hosed in the last bit.

Same :hfive:

I just tried the multi-shot on that lvl 175 Hulk mission and, disappointingly, Yelena and Venom didn't receive damage from tile destruction, just from the shot. In my case, that meant 3500+ for the main guy and only 2850 for the others. It's still a very powerful ability, of course, but I'll need like 80k ISO (currently at lvl 117) to deal 3000 damage.

The 3* tourney has that ruleset. NHB didn't. 3* also has 500 people bracket, so I seriously doubt there will be a slacker bracket.

The best time to jump in is (if you're US) whenever is an inopportune moment. Recently, jumping in at the last minute matchmakes me with other like minded people and a non-struggle turns into a struggle after all. Do it during work hours in the middle of the week and/or lovely hours to be awake during the weekend.

Oooooh Yeeeees!
The game (or my bad luck) sure is stingy with those Wolverine yellow covers. I've had mine at 5/3/1 FOREVER. Managed to dang near max out a Spider-Man and get 4 Ragnarok greens / 1 red, but I'll be damned if I can get Wolverine yellows! Would really like to start using him instead of Thor but Wolvie is sitting at max level of 54 right now and that's just not good enough!

Hulk event sure is wonky. Guy in mine is in first place and still gaining more points even though all my missions no longer give points. Mind boggled.

I can't wait that long. A few hours can be painful when there are no other events. I think I need counseling.

I remember when I was 2 red Thors and 1 yellow Wolvie short of having the full 5 covers. I had hoarded 2000HP so I said "screw it these 2 are like the best characters in the game I'll just level them up manually".

Next 3 heroic token drops: 2 red Thors, 1 yellow Wolvie.

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Nice, I was top 25 in No Holds Barred.

This game is really bad about giving you the same ability for a rare character over and over again. The Hood is 0/0/3. Spiderman is 1/0/3. Punisher is 0/1/3. Kind of annoying. Luckily, my Wolverine is done except the last red cover to fill out his points total, but that doesn't really matter since I rarely use the red power anyway. 5 green and 5 yellow are insane. Getting that awesome green power for one 3-tile match is insane, and he ends up at full health every fight, even if he didn't start that way.

Despite missing the last 7 hours of NHB2 I placed top 10. Would have preferred dropping to top 25.

Top 400 in Nevada for Wolvie yellow, top 800 in Canada for purple cMagneto.

3* tourney is going to be a struggle. Best I have is 2 red lvl 25 Ragnarok, 1/0/1 Magneto, and 1/0 Doom. Also have a 1/1/0 gBlack Widow, but don't think she is worth using without a purple.

Welp. Despite matching no purples the first turn computer Venom just chain snared my entire team down to no health. I didn't get a turn after my first one.

This is after computer Rag matches enviro tiles the first three turns and manages to cast both Godlike Power and his red ability every time.

Granted both missions are listed impossible for me but bullshit is bullshit.

So here's a question. I recently got a Doctor Doom and a Ragnarok cover. I'm trying to farm Hero Points so I can increase my roster size, but Doom expires in two days and Ragnarok in five, so I might not be able to make it. If it comes down to that, what would you advise I sell to make room? My current roster looks like this:

Critical
Aug 23, 2007

Moonstone is garbo at the moment so she's an easy pick. From there I would go with either Wolvie or Hawkeye Modern since they have nothing invested in them, and the game seems to throw HMs at you at the moment. You can easily level up Wolvie by playing one of the later prologue missions anyway.
