Honestly? The people who need deep progression rewards still won't reach them, and the people who can get to them likely don't need them. I've got almost all the covers I need, the few I still need are either newbies that aren't in progression rewards yet (Hulk, Punisher) or Lightning Rounders, and they don't put large HP bundles in rewards any more. Look at Double Shot -- the high rewards are ISO, 100 HP, 25 HP (an IM40 I don't need), ISO, an IM40 I kinda need but not really because it's a power I've only ever used when fooling around, and The Wrong Wolverine.

Maybe with the whole shields thing they'll bring back the 500HP rewards! And revert the cover space to the original price and bring the facebook bonus back to 20! ...eeh not likely

Sorry if this has been answered already in the thread, but: If there's a countdown tile laid by a mook, and there's more than one of the same mook, is there a way to tell who that tile belongs to? How exactly do non-hero enemies (that is, ones that don't move the board themselves and only lay countdowns) fill up their AP? Is it just automatic and fixed? If so, is there a way to tell how much they'll gain in a given turn?

If theres like 2 soldiers and they lay down a green assault tile you can stunlock one of them and see if the countdown progresses to tell who it belongs to. Other than that no. They should really make it so you can tell who is who. All Nonheros automatically, if not stunned, automatically get AP each turn. You can see the number popups on the enemy side each turn. Or you can slide the screen over and manually count how many tiles they have and figure out their gain rate.

Not a particularly easy way. It's always the one 'next' in line (if you beat the current character he'll be the one who cycles into the front), which I think is the one before the character you're beating on in the cycle. Unless it isn't, which can happen if one of them can't act due to stuns then the other one will use their ability. Almost all of them generate AP at a rate of 2 AP of each colour they have an ability for automatically, but I don't know of any easy way to see how much without letting them have a turn. That AP comes and goes from the shared enemy pool, so heroes with the right colours can use it instead of the non-heroes (which becomes brutal in some cases) while matched tiles will increase the rate of non-hero ability use.

I would REALLY like to know how the freebie 15 IM40/40 M Black Widow/ 35 Thor team managed to take down my 38 IM40/65 Thor/65 Wolverine team.. My retaliation match took maybe 2 minutes. I got my first "AFK" victory notification today. Totally wiped out a challenger and netted me 19 points. I really wonder what he was coming at me with.

I'm not sure why or what's triggering it, but the new daily reward thing is a little glitchy. I've gotten three so far today and am hoping the fourth comes along soon 'cause that's a Heroic token. (Hah -- as I typed that, I quit the app and three seconds later got "Your daily resupply is ready to be claimed!" in my notifications. Right after finishing a mission to claim that, I got "Update downloaded, applying now," so presumably they're patching that.) I've gotten up to ~680 points or so in Double Shot before the crabs started pinching. Not going to spend HPs or bust my balls to get a 500 ISO reward. EDIT: Also, Lightning Rounds are still broken and won't let anyone in.

Better to have the Lightning Rounds broken than the loving game itself. Haven't been able to access MPQ ever since I updated. Installed it on a different phone and didn't work on that one either. Bugs section has plenty of people unable to play the game right now.

5 Green, 3 red, 5 black is the general idea, I think. Speaking of, the higher levels of Hulk's black skill does damage, right? Anyone know if this damage is increased by strike tiles?

Sherlock Bones posted:I'm at three green with Hulk and just got another green cover. What's the thinking build wise with Hulk? I asked this before and no one responded but over on the other forums the preferred build seems to be 5/3/5 because the red depletes up to 10 green AP as well as damaging your own team in bad circumstances. The truth is hulks purpose is a self sacrificing tanks green generator that doesn't actually spend his own green because it's not that good, so pair him up with storm or rags or wolverine.

Some people are going with 5/3/5 with the thinking there's already plenty of overlapping characters using red powers (who also don't damage your own team). The other popular build is 3/5/5 because 5 red nets you something like 1200 more damage when he's maxed I think? But again, you're going to be doing damage to your own dudes. Personally, I'm going 5 green because I can't see anyone else but Rag speaking for the red AP. Saving up 14 red is likely to happen only once during a battle and there are plenty of other ways to spend it with other characters. Something else to consider is when your team is being controlled by the AI against someone attacking you, if anyone else on your team uses red powers that cost less than 14 AP, Hulk will probably never get a smash. Edit: Rereading that, hulk never getting to smash sounds sad  Also lightning rounds are back up! Chuds McGreedy fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jan 7, 2014 |

Does anyone plan to actually use Hulk? I'm a little underwhelmed with him quite frankly. I'm 4/0/0 on him right now.. Maybe that has something to do with it.

messagemode1 posted:I asked this before and no one responded but over on the other forums the preferred build seems to be 5/3/5 because the red depletes up to 10 green AP as well as damaging your own team in bad circumstances. Maybe it wasn't your specific request, but many of us have suggested 5/3/5. Might've gotten lost in the shuffle. That said, it's not necessarily a no-brainer... Thunderous Clap is basically Storm's Lightning Storm / Lightning Strike, with one major difference -- while it hits a couple more tiles than Storm's, it does not generate AP. It's decent board churn but not overwhelming and doesn't improve all that much with higher levels. (L3 = 5 tiles + 1 / 2 AP, L4 = 6 tiles + 1 / 2 AP, L5 = 8 tiles + 1 / 2 AP). Smash is expensive (14 Red + 0-10 Green) and needs fiddly circumstances to be effective (tons of Green APs, < 10 Green tiles on the board). It DOES have the potential to be the hardest-hitting single attack in the game with a perfect setup; 14 Red + 30 Green will do upwards of 8000 damage at Smash L5, but the odds are pretty good that if you're accumulating that many APs you have more efficient ways of dispatching enemies, and other Red-users have more efficient Red AP-to-damage ratios. Anger should go to at least L4 for sure. L4 makes a countdown tile that turns 4 basic tiles to green, and can make multiple tiles from one turn. L5 makes a countdown tile that turns 5... but damages enemies for up to 148 AND allies for up to 74. Anyone who played through the Hulk missions knows that those tiles can add up quickly from cascades. So: None of the abilities are flat-out studs worthy of level 5. You can kinda mix and match. Anger needs at least 4. If you don't care about the damage to your own team -- and, truth to tell, it shouldn't add up to much -- take it to 5 and enjoy. It's not much of a deterrent, because one web from Spidey neutralizes Anger when Hulk's on defense, but it's one of two reactive abilities in the game and if someone does let multiple Anger tiles trigger, it can make a TON of Green tiles all at once. Note that you'll have to level Hulk to where he's up front and taking damage rather than damage-dealers like Wolverine or Grey Widow, though in Wolverine's case that shouldn't be too hard. Enemy attacks -> Hulk gets pissed -> Wolverine gets a full tank for clawing or Widow uses the distraction to head-pop the whole team. If you're rarely if ever going to use Smash, go 5/3/5. Most people won't. If you plan on leveling Hulk up to where he'll be your frontman, I can make a case for 3/5/5 or 4/4/5 simply because Thunderous Clap's upgrades add very little.

Not at this point. His shatter is more expensive than Juggernaut's and doesn't generate AP unlike Storms'. His nuke costs as much as Model 40's but does Astonishing Wolverine levels of damage unless you have over 14 green AP, at which point it will do as much as Unibeam. For Smash to do decent damage you need to not be using Thunderous Clap basically at all, and even then Smash will backfire on your team depending on the board. Anger is a really great ability but Hulk also has the highest HP in the game - at max level you need to be sucking up hits of 500+ for it to trigger, which makes it a decent way to turn the tables when you're in a bad situation but would keep it from reliably generating the AP you need to use his other abilities. As far as I can tell, all I'd want him for is to generate green for other people to use for AP generation/strike tiles, and at that point I may as well take Model 40 who can do it without relying on the enemy team to be beefed up and comes with a better nuke.

I learned two things recently: 1 - Don't kill someone if they have a 30+ Storm (Classic) with Raging Tempest (party wipe - 1000+ damage to each of my party) 1a - gently caress Storm 2 - You can skip opponents in the SHIELD simulator and events

Raging Tempest only hits like a truck if all team members are below 50% HP. Otherwise she hits for about 1/8 of her maximum. Things I love: Three minutes to go in a lightning round, closing in on top 8, and suddenly you see "You were attacked!" by someone random with 138 points. Who's obviously not going for the 250-point token, much less placing well at all, but who just wants to be a dickhead. Added to my 'enemies for life' list. Especially when, thanks to everyone else piling on, that was the difference between my ending up with a Villainous token (which would've at least given me a small shot at a Hood Yellow or Blue) and a Heroic (another loving Cap).
