Do they specifically state who the boosts work for or against? I don't even know who the Brotherhood entails, and I hate the fact that there are still Doombot boosts in the game.

Cap and Castle clash pretty hard. During Civil War, The secret avengers were getting help from some villains for something or other. The Punisher goes into robot "BAD = KILL" mode and guns them down before they can help. Cap beats him half to death while Frank gives him a puppy dog "but I did good, why are you mad" look.



That and not everyone knows that Moon Knight is a dangerous psychopath with dissociative identity disorder.

That was actually one of the cooler moments in Civil War and I saw War Journal as Frank kind of mellowing from that specific experience. But really I was just kind of poking fun at the idea of Moon Knight who is more or less a murderous schizophrenic being a part of the (mostly) altruistic Avengers (just forget about Hulk and Ant-Man).

I just had two matches in a row during lightning rounds where the AI double crit enviroment tiles in jungle during a cascade on the third match and forest fired my boost ap away and killed my thor.

Okay, I beat a guy in the lightning round who was supposed to be worth 24 points, got 0 points, and the round's still going. Is this a bug or some "feature" I didn't know about? It may have cost me the top 25.

Ant-man is incredibly altruistic. Superheroism has just hosed with his brain more than most.

I'm not sure Juggy counts as brotherhood, given he's not even a mutant. It wouldn't surprise me if they had a team-up at some point, though.

XP really dried up today. I only made it to 28250 I think I typo'ed yesterday when I was at 25k and said 30. Well, 3 more days, so maybe we'll get another set of 4 maps or some more with 1k experience spots.

EDIT: Missions are currently bugged - so for those of you who were behind you get to catch up to everyone who ground out XP AGAIN! This is really loving annoying every 2 days when I close towards the top.

This usually means you were attacked during your round. It should have shown up a "YOU WERE ATTACKED" window when you were done. Sometimes it shows on your reward, usually it doesn't.

I had to throw two matches now so I didn't get yet another purple magneto, finished in 26th place, aww yeah green rag.


e: hahaha my level 38 lightning-round-souped-up Mag just got brought down from 5000hp by a level 1 storm / black widow / the hood group who got a combo which lasted SEVERAL MINUTES.

e2: funny how my rank went from #26 to #17 in a Hood lightning event without me playing any rounds. Nobody wants him!

I wish they'd make it so that you always get the 4 PvE rewards first. Getting 20 iso after beating three lv240 enemies is starting to feel painfully grindy. Especially when all I really want is that 500iso reward and recruit token.

Just be thankful you can handle the 240 missions at all. I just ran out of points at ~1500, and it is annoyingly grindy without being able to get the giant chunks attached to the 240 missions and the Punisher missions.

By the way, when are you able to take them on comfortably? I have a ~62 Wolverine and Thor and a 45 Spidey that I just got to 2/4/2 buying hero points (:().

I'm doing them fine with a 64 2/3/2 Spidey and an 85 Wolverine. Most of it is Wolverine regenerating 340 health a turn and adding 160+ damage to every attack every 3 green you get - Spidey is just there to heal up guests and buy a turn or two if the AI gets enough AP to wipe me.

I have a 85 Wolverine (5/3/5) and 70 Spidey (3/5/5). I've only played that mission twice without any boosts (More Than You Can Chew) and in both instances I was able to finish it with full health. Just takes a bit of time, and a bit of luck (just hope the AI doesn't get a crazy tile cascade!).

maybe true, but it still sucks loving poo poo to not focus them down first as they'll most likely heal faster than I can bring poo poo down.

I'm also guessing my problem is also because I'm still using one stars at this point.

So how does strike tiles affect abilities, namely AOE ones? Does Thor's green get buffed by strike tiles?

From what I can tell, any ability that directly causes damage does.

e: Even mStorm's hailstorm seems to get some bonus from them.

This is really handy for Punisher-required missions in the Hulk event. Even if you don't have him leveled at all, his molotov strike tiles will still get buffed by Wolverine's strike tiles. They went from doing 11 damage each turn to 600-some at one point.

edit: ^^^^Yeah, it helps with the initial teamwide attack too.

Man, I should've waited another 90 minutes to claw my way through the ranks of my bracket. Made it up to 5th and now I'm a big ol' sitting duck for everyone else.

A note for folks, at 85 Wolverine and 75-ish Thor getting boosts for 6 red/6 green at the start lets you nuke an enemy max Wolverine with 2 claws, a Mjolnir, and matching a yellow. After that everything else dies on turn 2.
