Especially considering how many other people have awesome red abilities. The sniper rifle is insane at level 5 with her maxed out and her recon has amazing utility and should be able to get you really drat close to popping their whole team for 2k+ damage. E: I've gotten two Red Rags off of standard tokens. Well after I already maxed it out.  But a good chunk of my Spider-Man's growth has come from them as well.

Green does solid damage and major board churn, Purple is a green / critical factory, Red pops some tiles at high cost and doesn't do much damage or generate AP. 5/3/5. Hulk event: 62314, #28th. Love it when a plan comes together.

I beat all the missions this morning on my ipad, but on opening my phone up to quickly grab some more prizes the sync registered the last mission as a failure for some reason - I didn't lose the recruit pack I won from it, but icon lost the repeatable sign, I lost the points, the mission isn't worth any now, and I've dropped out of the top 300 because of it.

If they have their poo poo together this week, have fun stomping teams into the dirt during the lightning rounds. Once I got my fourth red rag and leveled that fucker, the rest of his covers were achievable through his lightning round. Don't forget to tank a round or two before his comes up. Rag + wolverine are just plain insane.

Once I got my fourth red rag and leveled that fucker, the rest of his covers were achievable through his lightning round. Don't forget to tank a round or two before his comes up. Really? I love having that red stockpiled to keep boosting wolvy's attack tiles, then unleashing hell when I know it'll guarantee victory. But I guess when you can make more greens so cheaply, it's not really necessary to build up the reds? I don't have a big enough Rags to play with it yet. I'm torn on what to do with Original Widow. Maxing her purple seems like a no-brainer, but anti-grav and espionage both don't really seem to be THAT much better at 5 as opposed to 3. I've got a decent Grey Widow already, so don't know if Original will see the light of day anyway. EDIT: Also, I'm liking my current team of Wolverine + Spidey + Grey Widow. Spidey matches purple to make defense tiles, while at the same time fueling Widow's purple, which then feeds Wolvy greens. Only problem is that black and yellow matches are mostly useless, at least until I get Spidey's yellow cover. Vice Zoomler Aestro fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Jan 5, 2014 |

The damage on Espionage at five can get totally out of hand if you've got some high level strike tiles on the board. The problem with leveling purple on OBW is the cost goes up, too. I actually like OBW a lot more than Grey Suit Widow. It's tough to end up on a board with bad matches with her and Wolverine, and if your third team member can do something with yellow tiles there pretty much are no bad matches.

I built Original Widow as 5/4/4. Espionage is absolutely a 4 or a 5 as although it's not good damage itself, it counts as a separate attack so it double-dips on strike tiles. The difference between a level 4 and a level 5 Espionage though is 56 damage per match, which (while it would add up) is basically nothing. Purple is either a 3 or a 5 in my opinion. There's effectively no match-cost difference between 4 and 5, but level 5 will 'refund' up to 4 purple and shutdown opposing Widows. It takes longer to start up a shutdown at level 5, but once you've started it it's pretty hard for them to break. I wouldn't mind actually having another Widow with 3/5/5 just for swapping in against teams that don't use purple themselves. Anti-grav is effectively a heal that can be blocked by countdown timers. Timers are pretty rare outside of NPCs who only have timer attacks, so the delay doesn't see a lot of use outside of PvE. I'd say this is easily the swing skill because adding 4 instead of 3 to timers is a decent boost with no additional cost, and healing regardless of timers is useful but mostly in PvE where there's always going to be a timer blocking your heal.

Black Widow Modern's blue stun at level 5 has a 5 turn stun + 1 turn stun for their teammates if you dont have any other stun capable guys. Bring along +all ap and +blue/purple ap to keep them stunned and drained of ap.

Looks like the point values are done inflating - unless someone at the top is waiting to make their play and push number 1 forward. It's going to be real interesting to see where I end up. I'm in the 800's now and I have all my missions left, so like 250 points. I'm about 850 points out of 1st place, so I could end top 300, but I might come up shy. At least I'll have Hulk up to 4/3/2 when this thing is done, which is pretty drat good. My Punisher is at 4/2/5. I started the first event with no Punisher, bought the guaranteed 10 pack so I could compete and I got 3 Punisher covers in that. I'm pretty happy with the pay out; it turned into a pretty good investment with 6 hulk covers and 2 Punisher's just in event rewards and 1 with potentially 2 4 star wolverines as bonus. EDIT: Looks like no one is going to pass thereck in 1st and he's done his missions, so I just banged mine out since rubberbanding is over. Currently 121, we'll see if that's good enough.

Spider-man didn't work for me since as soon as I ran out of blue the match was over. +3 All, R/Y and Green boosts. Deny red and use Thor 's redas often as possible to keep the board covered in yellow, since none of them can use it. Kill order of Rag, Juggs then Venom. Keep an eye on their AP. If they ever get above 6 Red, toss Punisher out front to eat the Headbutt.

I'm not going to get a red Hulk this time around, but having a social life is more important, so they say. At least I got emough ISO to get my Spider-Man up to level 116. I just started the NHB and tore my way to first through some crazy whale teams without boosts. Surprisingly enough, the only team I lost to was a Wolverine/Daken/Grey Widow team. They ripped my Spider-Man apart before I realized things were going that bad. There definitely is something to be said for that team combo.

Well, that's it for points for me. It's a bit frustrating to be squeezed out of the tier I was going for, but as long as I get a couple of hulk covers out of it, I'm good.

Currently 121, we'll see if that's good enough. I am at 31 somehow! I didn't really have trouble with the 240 mission using 5 blue Spidey and Wolverine, it just took a ton of grinding on those health bars. I used 3All, 3R+Y, and 3B+P boosts to start with 6 blue, and made two quick blue matches to keep them permastunned until I won. Once you start stunning for 5, it is way too easy to keep it going. I'm not sure if I wrung all the points out of the missions, though. I played the easiest ones first and noticed they still offered extra points for a replay, but after I beat the rest of the missions, nothing had points anymore.

That's just a UI issue that has persisted this whole event. They will show that they still give points if you go back to that mission immediately after beating it, but if you play it again you get nothing. You can generally force it to update points values by exiting the game completely.

Even if it still does have points, the listed amount is usually what it gave you last time, instead of what you get for that go. I usually just do a different fight and go check afterward and it usually updates. Sitting at #182 right now, dropped about 60 points in the last 4 hours. Fingers crossed I can hold on for the Wolverine. Don't even know what I'd do with it, except for my completionist OCD. At least my Hulk will be almost done.

My go to move with Rag is headhunt a couple red matches first, if I can, then dump 2 - 3 thunderclaps in a row and that usually generates enough for wolverine to feral claw a few times. If the first 'clap makes a green match I let wolverine make a strike tile ASAP so my next thunderclap gets the damage bonus (as well as the subsequent green matches). Using feral claws as soon as you can saves the red basic tiles from being turned into greens as well.

What are the best boosters/characters to use to beat The Final Showdown? For the life of me I cannot do it and I have a maxxed out Thor, Wolverine, a level 77 Hulk, level 30 Punisher, maxed out Captain America and lots of others. What did y'all use?

28 Punisher, 85 Wolverine and a 77 Spider-Man. I took +All, +Blue/Purple, and +20% to Dark Avengers. I can't imagine how punishing it must be to do it without a Spider-Man.

I followed zamin's setup and strategy outlined further up with Thor, Wolverine, Punisher (~30 2/2/2). All, R/Y, G/B boosts. Whatever you do hinges on a big scoop of luck, but I managed a few of the crazy level teams earlier in the tournament with the same setup. In the final round I made I through with only ~200 damage taken total, all tanked by Wolverine.

If you plan on pairing IM40 with any of the 3 widows (and they all have good synergy with IM40) then you definitely want that 4th yellow cover. If all you want to do is power spiderman then stop at 3 yellow.

I feel like I could fill Arlington national cemetary with the Captain America covers I've sold during these Hulk events. I have the feeling that the randomness of the covers is teaching the users to never ever spend money on the game because you'll just end up with another cover that you've sold eight of previously.
