The worst thing is setting up a bunch of boosts and then accidentally using them again the next round

Then some other team shows up for an easy victory and 15 points and you just mash through your options then the match starts and "+100% DAMAGE BOOST, + 3 STOCKPILE" and you realize you're an idiot.

What's up, boost-wasting bro? In other news, going after teams that have an identical composition and a massive amount of HP is less fun than expected. This tournament is going to be a huge grind. On the other hand, I'm currently 2 out of 2 successful defenses.

I'm going to try an unconventional 2/5 MBW with the theory that she will be able to steal AP faster than theirs can. It will probably just result in her dying in 3 turns on defense, more likely.

Modern Black Widow has no skills that scale with levels though, so leaving her low level isn't too bad on offense.

Jesus, Dr. Doom is a beast in this event. I don't even need to use boosts in half of Hard Mode, and my Doom is only natively around level 45. Who are good characters to pair with him? I've swapped him in with my Thor/OBW/CStorm team, but other than OBW working well with everyone, nothing seems like an obvious match.

You have blue, black and purple covered with Doom and OBW so Thor or Ares are not bad choices as they cover the other colours. Even if you don't shoot for red, green and yellow matches, you will still grab them from OBW stealing them so you will get to fire them off every now and then. Thor and Ares can also be used as tanks by matching thier colours just before you know you will get hit with a power. As Doom is your major hitter with his Demons, it doesn't matter if they die.

Bring someone who makes strike tiles, like Daken, that way the demons will hit even harder. Daken/Thor/Doom is my team and it works pretty well.

Magneto Now works really well with Doom as well because you can place blue tiles next to black ones and then flip them to create black cascades. It kind of pushes out OBW though as it's another one of her colours used by someone else.

So I just tried out Bullseye in the event and I'm pretty sure I never took more than 1 damage from any single attack in at least 3 matches. It was really liberating after the hell that was some of these missions restricting characters. EDIT: Aaaand the game just crashed on me mid mission for no reason.

I don't like Daken/Doom because you can fill up all the reds with strike tiles and have nowhere to put the demons.

Yeah Daken's a bad combo because he spams terrible strike tiles everywhere. Getting an AP generator in there would be great, i.e. Storm, BW or IM40, helping you get those demons up faster.

I've been doing Daken/Doom/Ares. I agree with the critique about no where yo put demons, but my Doom is pretty bad: level 25 with only 2 black covers. So Ares does the heavy lifting. I often have trouble generating enough black AP without Doom's blue anyways. Its been working well though. Against lazy Thor and the two AP generators I can usually down him quickly. He only gets off two of his green strikes. Ares just pumps out so much damage. Daken just speeds up the process. Of course all of this was from Midnight to about 3am (I work nights) so the difficulty was really low. I was able to clear all the missions at least once for a ton of iso-8. Ares went from level 6 to 50 from this event alone

There is a fight against Patch and two mooks that is a hilarious damage race once Patch uses berseker rage. 1500 damage hits become the norm. That one is actually fun, unlike Thor's bullshit, which can only be consistently beaten with spider-man, to be honest (or if your team is buffed to all hell, I guess0.

Has anyone figured out what the logic behind event encounter levels is? It seems to increase and decrease unpredictably throughout the day. Same question for rewards, which seem to generally decrease right up until they increase again. It confuses me  (Also, looking for an alliance, ZorbaTHut, let me know if you've got a space for a total freeloader who doesn't even have enough hero points for hero slots)

(On the other hand Patch was ripping the same team to shreds with no effort because he kept using BR then immediately making a 2-4 purple strike tile match leaving me massively disadvantaged  )Also, I've been intentionally entering fights with Ares at low-health and it's quite effective. Start with ~2k/2.5k health and just match reds. By the time you get 10 you're below 25% life and your team attack is now doing double damage - depending on what's left everyone hides behind Doom to heal up, continues matching, or Ares drops a Sunder to get himself back to low life for the next match.

That last Thor I fought was ~130. His damage shouldn't scale up that sharply that another 10 or 20 levels woudl one-shot people, but I was gaming his CTS so that Doom would suck up the primary attack and the weaklings only got hit by the half-strength part.

I'm the kind of idiot who didn't even realise Doom was good until reading the thread. I'm in alliance GoonSquad, any of the other members posting here? Don't know how to see how active we are. Edit: also how long have you been able to fight with injured characters because I have been medkiting every time some has been injured for the 50 days I've been playing

Get thee an original Black Widow with blues or a Spider-Man with yellows and you won't even use medkits anymore except for the most dire situations or a down-to-the-wire tournament.

OBW is amazing. She has 3 awesome skills and works well with almost any team, she seems to drop from tokens fairly regularly too. Spider Man is annoyingly hard to get unless you count bloody bag man. I really think this game would benefit from a couple more characters with team heals though. Almost every PvP fight has either Spider Man or OBW. A few more options to mix things up would be nice.

Huh, this might be a dumb gem matching game, but I did just have a pretty epic battle. Went to the hard Simulator match against Daken, Cap and CStorm with Doom, Wolverine and old Thor. After a bunch of green cascades the board was shat full of Daken's strike tiles, which wiped out Wolverine pretty quickly. I got their CStorm shortly afterwards. Daken and Thor pretty much wiped each other out, so it became a showdown between Cap and Doom. I had gotten a few demon tiles out, but at some point Cap completely stunlocked me. I couldn't do anything but watch for 15-20 turns as his attacks whittled down my Doom and Doom's strike tiles took hits at the Cap. It truly went down to the wire. As the battle was about to finish, my level ~110 Doom had 1 hp, their 80something Cap had 4. And since I was stunlocked, they got to deal the killing blow first. Gutted to lose, but it was incredibly

Since he's a "gold" version of the existing Cap (same skills, bigger level limit), he should be decently solid, though it'll probably be a while (without spending money) before you can kit him out to surpass the 2 star version. Plus, he'll probably be an essential character for the next PVE event or two, so having even one cover will be useful.

The point of getting the cover is not the character itself but that, without them, you get locked out of a shitload of missions in the next events. I don't give a crap about the new Cap but I'll definitely grab a few covers.

For the lone star tournament, Juggernaut is too good on offense if you can heal him up between fights. His only downside is not being able to tank with a level 50 storm. I am working on getting IM to level 50, and he's currently level 40. While using yellow AP would be nice, being able to dish out 1100 damage for 6 red is amazing. Not bad for defense either. I've had quite a few defensive victories.

The best team has to be Ironman/Juggs/Venom. It covers all colors and all of them have dangerous abilities and enough HP to be good on defense. Storm is really powerful, specially on the jungle, but she can be sniped by juggs quite easily.
