I finally got Patch to over level 100 and he is amazing. At 4/2/5 he still needs some covers to finish him off but he is still awesome. Finishing a game with Berzerker rage followed by Best There Is, and then firing off M.Storm's black a couple of times if anyone is left ends poo poo real fast. All those strike tiles add up to a shitload of damage.

Wait, do all of M.Storm's strike tiles get the bonus damage from Berserker Rage? Because if so that sounds absolutely ridiculous.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
As far as I can tell, Hailstorm acts as a single attack at the end of the turn, so only the total damage each turn is modified by Strike/Shield tiles. Otherwise a single shield tile would render the power completely useless.

From the news pop-up, it looks like the next PvE is the first one again, with the red ISO. Only starring LazyCap this time, probably. Wonder who the reward will be.

Thar She Blows has a couple of free slots. But it's small so don't expect to be showered in rewards. We have been getting the extra 50 hp for pvp events, though.

Well if by pile in you mean take up the two slots we had left :banjo:
And technically it's not my alliance or anyone else's since the guy who made it left for gooner pastures. A generous donation of iso to us unfortunate not-whales.

In other news my first red iso event token got me a lazy cap :toot: I might actually be in this event! Now I just need the 25 hp to open up a slot for him or else I'll have to cut... Hawkeye, I guess, which wouldn't exactly break my heart. Considering how much the game loves giving me some Hawkeye covers, I could rebuild him pretty quick if I need to (which I won't).

Grey sounds like something that'd end up a GOLD character, but Red could be interesting if you gave him a bunch of Red manipulation abilities.

Whoever it was that recommended Punisher/OBW/Spiderman, holy poo poo thanks. I rocketed to the top of my bracket with like, zero effort using that team. Spiderman with 5 blue is what really makes it sing, natch. But drat is it good. Unfortunately I already have all the Hulk greens and reds that I need, and my alliance is probably too small to break into top 100 for the black cover.

That's a free 5000 ISO right there.

So, when exactly do 2 star characters start coming into their own? I got a level 50 Thor (5/2/4) and a level 42 Storm (2/3/3), and they both still feel kinda weak. I suppose C.Storm is gonna always stay ridiculously squishy though.

And jeez, I didn't think the first event was this tedious. I thought I had missed out by not doing it when it first happened but it seems like it's gonna be 6 days of beating up Mafia dons for me.

2 star characters? Around level 50-60 I guess but it's more about the number of covers you have than the levels. With a few exceptions they are all pretty squishy but their powers make up for it.

And the event sucks. I mean, since it is mostly maggia and OBW is boosted it is trivially easy. I just slap my lvl3 hawkeye (or mags now) and have someone who can do damage with green/black and chip them to death. Pretty loving boring.

OBW and Patch being boosted in this event makes them a hell of a team. Collect blue so you can delay thier countdowns and then throw out a ton of strike tiles. The strike tiles you generate for the enemies never do anything if the countdown never hits 0.

I've been making GBS threads out strike tiles and then having Loki turn them into defense tiles. I don't have any other use for black really.

OBW, M.Storm, and Cap/C.Mags is the ultimate safety vs mooks team, provided you can match anything other than environment tiles and yellow

That works but I prefer M.Storm just for generating AP early on and clearing out environment tiles to make decent matches possible. I only use her black if I happen to get enough AP for it, I never shoot for black on purpose though unless I need OBW's espionage to trigger.

As a general rule, they'll hit attack stat parity with a maxed 1 star in their early-mid 50s, but won't be substantially stronger until they're in their 70s.

That's assuming you have all the covers, which make a huge difference in power for most abilities.

Sorry for playing that teamup nonstop to get to 1st place myself then.
Although earlier on I did leave a team with Jugg and Daken and it seems to have scared off any potential aggressors for a good 15 hours.

Wow, this PvE event is a mess. I already have some maggios at 230, which doesn't matter since they cannot actually get a shot on me, it just makes it a slog to get my 125 points so that I can reach the prize at 160,000 :lol:

I guess I'll try to get a good spot in the defenders event tomorrow -just before it ends- those hulk cover seem nice. Hopefully the other guys at G.O.O.N. will also go for it because the black cover should be the most useful one.

While doing so just now I got an X-Force Wolverine out of a random token. What an absolute waste of 1000 ISO.

Also they should really make another image for 4 star rewards. Maybe make it platinum or something.

I got so close to breaking the Top 25 in a Magneto Lightning round last night, but the matchmaking blew it for me. It kept giving me low-level people and cycling the same four no mater how often I skipped. Par for the course.

At least I got a Diabolical Token which gave me a Magneto cover anyway. I would've rather had that 4th pink than a 2nd red, but it'll do.
