Don't make my mistake, don't buy the Widow pack. It'll just be a modern Widow.

Goddamn the rubber banding is random. So last night I cleared each stage of Greenland/Romania (except for 1) once, with the intent to let myself fall behind so I get more points for stuff today. In Greenland I have 41 points, putting me ~900, but I can only earn 3-5 points per levels and 14 for the 'boss', so it doesn't look like I can make very many big jumps in the standings. However, in Romania, where I started with ~30 points, I was able to grind the 'boss' level and the Demonlitionist level for 10+ points each time, putting me at 249 (until they capped), which is good for current #1 by 20 points. And I can still do the other levels for 5-7 points each.

I was trying to come up with a joke about how there's a cheaper version of the Widow pack for 50 HP if you keep going left on the shop screen, but it never came out right. I am absolutely loving my 4 blue Spiderman, and I can't imagine how bananas he'll get with yet another AP decrease. Who are some other 3-star characters that complement him? My team is entirely 2-star right now besides him, with my Thor and Wolverine at 65 and 70, and a handful of other 2-stars hovering around 20-30, who only get a few levels whenever there's a tournament they're featured in. I've only got 1 cover for Ragnarok and Magneto, but I have a 3/0/1 Hulk, an 0/1/1 Punisher, a 1/1/3 IM40, and an 0/3/1 Grey Widow. Obviously nothing close to maxed, but I need some idea of what to value in the tournament prizes. I also get a black Doom in a few days -- I've always really liked him.

Ahahah Spider-man with an espionage OBW is ridiculous! Match blue tiles, steal blue, use the blue tiles for more webs! Throw in a strike tile maker and the enemy team is in so much pain.

Kind of hate that I got rid of my Modern Widow now, but I have the other two in the 30's. I'll survive. Classic Black Widow needs to be nerfed. Like, really soon. She can single handedly hold off an entire team with her heal. It is goddamn ridiculous.

No luck with Powered Tokens, but picked up yellow IM40 from a standard token and blue cMagneto from daily heroic token deal. e: what's with all the mHawkeye covers as rewards from the Punisher missions? Largepotato fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Dec 30, 2013 |

What's the spiderman consensus? I'm at 3/4/2 and I just got a yellow cover. Do you go 5/5/3 or 3/5/5?

It used to be 5/5/3 because Spider-Sense was pretty awful. Then they changed it from occasionally removing enemy Countdown tiles to creating friendly Protect tiles and opinion flipped -- now 3/5/5 is considered the way to go. Adding to Purple improves it significantly now, while adding to Yellow just drops its AP cost.

To be honest, I think the main draw of the Punisher missions is probably the rude things he says to the Dark Avengers. That and the one where he says he'd kill Hulk if he had a big enough gun.  Anyway, two Powered Up Tokens, two more Wolverines for the Iso furnace. And the Spider-Man consensus is use Bag Man instead. not really hopefully some day he'll be usable

I was originally running IM40 alongside Spidey and Wolverine, to tank blue/yellow, but ever since I got Spidey up into the 100's that's no longer an option as he's way stronger. Now I've got Grey Widow instead and it's a pretty brutal trio. Spidey stuns every two blues, which strengthens his pink protect tiles, creating those feeds Widow who then pumps greens everywhere for Wolverine. She also has the strongest black, which helps fill out the attack. e: Best Spidey is 3/5/5, no doubt.

Does anyone know the highest I can take Thor and still let a lvl 85 Wolverine tank? I've got him in the mid 60s right now and he's high enough that he still hits like a truck, but low enough that I can keep him in the back and just regen tank with Wolverine for most colors and not have to worry about downtime or health packs.

You could just level Thor while watching the numbers on his stats screen and stop before they overtake. Level 85 Thor's yellow and red are 45 and 50 respectively while 85 Wolverine's are 39 and 45, so I'd guess you can probably take him to the high 70s. And even with both maxed, Wolverine will always beat Thor on greens.

Anyone have a good strategy for Hulk? It seems like if I don't kill him in one turn, i'll get like a three match cascade and the resulting anger/clap cascade mania take out my team in one turn.

Or keep him permastunned with spidey, or unload on him after you stun him with storm classic/hawkguy/black widow/etc.

That, and boosts. I'd just match until I had 21 green, 18 red, 12 yellow. Stun and then go to town. I found that was enough to wipe him out in one turn. He has so much health that your normal matches won't do enough to cause an anger, outside of a crazy cascade. Stun him and it'll prevent the entire board from going green and then getting Thunderclapped to death. GTO posted:I've got my Thor at level 74, which is where their yellow power is the same.

Dark Avengers, All Females, etc, were pretty awesome. Liking the new characters that are released. PVE needs some more variety in terms of cannon fodder. We've seen the same Dark Avengers again and again along with Hammer goons. The prologue is a bit overtuned - the game is great, but the newbies have a bit of a hump to get over in terms of the prologue content.

If you halved the cost for leveling up abilities you'd probably get a lot more people buying Hero Points.

I do kind of agree with Eddain on this one though - the daily deal is indeed enticing, but I keep getting loving Bag Man covers (why in gods name is he still in the game!?) and poo poo I already have, whereas paying HC to specifically level up a skill of your choice would absolutely get me to spend cash on HC if it was half the price.

I'm on my 4th I have to re-do because I went 5/5/3 instead of 5/3/5 or whatever. The most recent was because I wanted to start a 2nd Widow Classic and instead of moving out of my stash it trained a skill I didn't want on my existing one. gently caress. I'd even take a penalty like just delete the cover of that color and de-level if necessary. Just don't make me collect a full set of covers and sink 30k ISO into a new one.

You could spend 200 HP six times for six Wolverines or directly skill up a Hulk skill of your choice, that's how the daily deals have been working for me. Of course you get the rare lucky draw but without an explicit breakdown of draw percentages it's safe to assume the roulette is heavily rigged against you.

Is anyone else completely unmotivated to go through the Hulk event again, since there's absolutely no chance of getting that 50000 point Punisher cover? I know it doesn't make logical sense, but I just can't make myself bother doing a battle that only gives me 6 points the first time, let alone doing it dozens of times.

I like it though, it takes pressure off. I know I could have gotten that Punisher cover if I only did two-three more missions. I'll also experiment with skipping some subquests and see how that affects my score.

Each day of Hulk I just join with 8-10 hours to go and aim for top 100 for hp & iso. Last day I will try to maximize my points though.

If anybody has any big questions or good feedback I'd be willing to pass it along to him. I really think ISO costs, either to level a character or amounts available for cash, need to be revisited. As someone who doesn't mind spending money on the game, there's just no reason for me to buy ISO. My level 110 IM40 takes a little over 2K ISO to hit the next level. That's more than $5 in the cash shop, and even with the current sale, that's only a level and a half. That's redonk, and well beyond impulse buy territory. Speaking of buying, I've bought coins a few times when they were on sale, but even that is getting to the point where it's really not worth it. The "good" characters either require a $20 investment to guarantee 2 skill-ups, or $5 for... half a skill-up. Or I can poo poo my coins into the lottery and get a bunch of Bag-Men and then be super pissed. I'm guessing they have plenty of data from their shop, but I can say as a "regular" user who doesn't mind spending money on a game that I pour a ton of pooping hours into, the prices are just too high to encourage me to bother with the shop unless I'm drunk. That being said, I do like that rewards seem to have been increased after the Fakebook ISO extravaganza was put to a hold. I seem to get a decent chunk of ISO and coins from the constant events. Sometimes I think there are too many events going on, though - which I'm assuming is intentional. Have people involved in a bunch of tourneys and they're more likely to need health packs and ISO for leveling/boosts.

Does the game prevent you from getting too high of a score in the daily challenge? I got up to like 662 in black widow then every time I fought a match I got attacked and lost 20 points or so, effectively preventing me from getting a higher score.

I think they've got it about right with this event. The PvE events you can still keep hammering as much as you want, but the setup with the Hulk one reduces that last minute rush a lot. The payoff for the event isn't the one cover at the end of a week-long event, it's levelling your characters as you go with all the iso rewards. That makes the playing more fun for me as there is more incentive to not use boosters (to save iso), which makes it more of a balancing act around winning a round without losing too much health.
