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.

Going through a second 1-star Tourney, I find myself sort of agreeing with this even though it's not the lineup I'm using. I find myself avoiding this team because they're all beefy enough that you can't reliably down one of them fast enough to make a difference early on like you can if you focus on Storm or Black Widow.

A lot of people I see with high points are using Iron Man/Storm/Black Widow, but they're the ones I tend to attack first. Widow takes so long to charge up her poo poo that you can usually stomp Storm before she gets annoying and then deal with Iron Man.

My gameplan is basically to focus on Storm while getting red, then headbutting her rear end, and then repeat the same with the next most fragile character. Basically, Juggs does 75% of all damage and I just feed him green and red as much as possible. Ironman drops a yellow here and there and the widow likes to use her blue but the Core is totally juggs.

My bracket was really quiet so I decided to gun for the Invisible Woman, since she's the only character I am missing. I luckily managed to find an unshielded dude with 650 points and I just proceeded to spend a shitload of ISO hunting him down (had to skip like 30 times to find him). By the end of it I was the one with 690 points and everybody else was just giving me 10-14 so I climbed to 704 and then shielded. I hope that's enough.

I got hosed. I had over 700 points from just aiming for progression rewards. Woke up to losing 225 points. From second to eleventh place.

The shields are a really stupid thing. If no one could shield, that would be great. Thanks.

I'd like to try a Venom /Juggernaut /Ironman combo, but my Venom is level 2.

You forgot to mention Ragnarok/CStorm/Spy. In a Desert map. Just doing it while the enemies are still at their weakest level was obnoxious, I can't imagine what it'll be like on max level heroic mode.

Also, two more random recruit tokens got me Black Panther and Psylocke. I've got no slots to spare but if I do, I suppose I should reserve it for Black Panther, considering he's such a beast on defense and is likely to be in more events soon, right?

Also, there's another Modern Thor event, although I don't see him anywhere in the rewards list despite the description.

Happened to me again too. I went to sleep in 1st with ~650 points, and woke up at #18. I got back up to #6, and missed out on a top 5 prize because of one of those guys that manages to go "teehee there's 12 minutes left time to score 120 points" right at the end who leapfrogged me with less than a minute to go.

5 green is the only way to Patch, I really want to be able to do that (besides, you can bring stuns, or wait until you have a favorable number of matchable pinks on the map).

My Patch is so unbalanced (1/1/5) that he's boring. Still, he was my first lvl3 and his tankiness was essential to get my first few event wins.


Managed to get the IW cover, so I had to kick Yelena out (again) to make space for her hideously drawn rear end. Seriously, what's wrong with her faaaaaace.

There was some rear end in a top hat who somehow managed to jump to 770 points from less than 500 in ten minutes but he didn't shield so he must have been hit really hard during the last five minutes of the tourney because my 707 gave me the cover.

Pair 5 green Patch with someone that has a skill that hits the enemy team.

Punisher works well if you save up at least 14 black for a couple or more molotovs.

Just farming the ISO with 2 Star Wolv, Ares and Bullseye but unless I get Black Panther my ranking is going to be severely hampered this time round :(

This happened to me a while back. It disappeared a day or two after, basically just had to play from memory until the game figured out Japan is on the other side of the world.

I usually don't join events until 12-36 hours before they end, depending on the length of the event. The past few have been the weird 2.5 days / 60 hours. So for the ones that end at noon, I'll start ~36 hours ahead, for the ones that end at midnight, I start ~24 hours ahead.

Osborn must have infiltrated the alliance (you pressed the big fat yellow "leave" button). Just re-apply, there is plenty of space.

I haven't had a Doom (until I got one from a standard token like five minutes after the event ended :argh:) or a Black Panther so I'm basically done with this event. I got like 30k points in the first round and maybe like 10k total since. Honestly, this games rich-get-richer attitude has gotten me pretty close to quitting on more than one occasion.

Honestly, if the in app currency was about 10 percent of its current pricing, I'd probably be buying it at least once per event. But paying 25 bucks for a single guaranteed hero cover is just absurd.

Ok. I may have to boot you momentarily when someone else wants to join so that they can get in and buy a shot for you to rejoin. It's gonna be kinda annoying for you until you manage to save the HP (post in the thread when that happens)

Since Thor's an AP hog, I figured I'd try a "No AP for anyone who's not me" team.

5-3-3 hood, 1-3-4 Lazy Thor, 3-5-5 OBW.

NO ONE GETS AP BUT ME.

It's frigging awesome. Get a hood as soon as possible.

Cheer up, emo kid.
Hm, that's interesting. Hood alone as an AP stealer seems very vulnerable to getting blasted down due to low hp until he's pretty high level, but adding OBW probably makes most folks risk averse.

It seems like the next tournament will be Hood also, so if the rewards aren't garbage I'll probably dump some ISO into him.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
Lost two back to back matches as an attacker because OBW got a stupid 9-blue and some pink cascades.

Why can't I use my own Thor in the Thor event? Am I being dense? How is G.O.O.N. doing? I may make the jump if it's getting regular alliance rewards: I've only had a few alliance rewards currently but I'm active enough to have over 100k in the Simulator and can buy in if needed. I don't want to just give up on my current goon alliance but I want covers dammit.

Until now it seems like G.O.O.N usually ends an event at around rank 100-120 or so. with 11-12 people on the alliance. It is almost certain that we will get a lazyCap cover from the PvE and, with a little luck, a Patch cover from the PvP one.

I should hop over to G.O.O.N. since the alliance that I'm in is small and only myself and another guy play. Would there be room for a friend of mine too if we both buy our spots?

I honestly think OBW needs to be removed from the game entirely, and the devs should issue everyone who has her above a certain level 5 bucks and a hand-written apology.
