edit: And clawed my way up to #10 on hard mode by doing the torch missions before running out of heals. Looks like that's it for me.

Half of why I haven't done great in these events is that I've been going out to the prologue to heal between most fights if I took significant damage because I want to hold onto my healing buffer.

The other half is the crappy character selection.

Still, should get 4 covers tonight even if Pizza Dog doesn't come through- top 5 in PVP and top 100 in the PVEs.

Edit: though we're actually really close to the cover in Deadly and, particularly, in PVP if anyone who hasn't been playing joins in the next half hour.

Our best option is the PVP top 100. We're at like 103.

But it's all lazycap so I'm not worried about these prizes.

Yeah, I'm a lost cause in the Dark Avengers tournament. The fact that you're up against Dark Avengers in PvE which means you cant use them means that a lot of the time you cant use the characters you've levelled up, so you're discouraged from taking them far. As a result, my dark avengers are puny, underlevelled bozos.

America PVP has Hulk as a reward and no character restrictions, which is a welcome change. I don't have any hulk red and that's the rank 50 reward, so I should be able to get one.

I'd forgotten all about the Dark Avengers tournament after getting frustrated with the lovely Venom line-up. Cranked up to 350 points in the final 15 minutes, hopefully enough to get Pizza Dog some nice goodies.

We were in the 80s last I checked, up from 103 about a half hour out, so that worked!

I don't even know if I'm hoping for another lineup this time. If they had good characters this time it could make a big difference, but if it's another set of crap characters then it's just someone else I need to level into usefulness so I can get anywhere.

Just need Pizza Dog to hit top 100, which I imagine will be easier for us in this event.

Yeah, I'm full up on red LCaps (or will be once rewards finally finish processing) and the alliance didn't care enough to grab the cover reward last time. I'll probably still aim for the tokens, though.

Yep. It'll pick back up when flavor of the week kicks back in to get me to buy cover slots.

Cap is apparently one of the more popular characters.

But he's horrible.

Also I have to figure out what to do with this level 90 Black Panther because it's tougher than I thought to get 12 black.

I have to say that lazyCap is crazy strong and my first impressions are that he's gonna be part of my A-team roster. Fundamentally I hate how lazy and copy-paste the devs are, but stat-wise he's worth leveling up to 141. At that level his red does close to 3.5k damage every 3 turns. The AP-damage ratio doesn't get more efficient than this. And when you lay down blue shields in the corner they all stack up, and it can offer absurd protection.

I think my new favorite offensive team at the moment is Lazycap, Hood, and Patch. Patch blasts green, hood uses his yellow to blow up enemy attack tiles, lazycap uses his blue and red to overwrite enemy tiles, hood uses his black to speed up tile recovery, and while you're doing this all your attacks are being amplified by Patch's green attack tiles. The downsides are that there's no health regeneration, purple is wasted, and the computer won't be so smart with this defensively. But offensively I think it's a powerful build.

Future predictions: every team to beat will be composed of lv .141 lazythor, lazycap, and lazydaken.

There's a reason the MPQ forums changed his name to "Stormbeau" for April Fool's Day.
Yeah, she's a glass cannon, but for desert and jungle, she'll clear boards repeatedly and get you a good 15-20 black before she runs out of steam.

After not having anyone on my roster I particularly want to level right now, I've managed to save up about 35k ISO. If I instead chose to buy slightly less than that amount, I'd have to pay $89.98.

I've noticed that (shockingly) their alliance chat code seems to be broken. I've seen people responding to things before I received the thing they responded to.

Close the app entirely - hit "back" until you're at your home page - and re-open it. That seems to redownload all the messages.

The more people you attack, the more people will counter attack you.

I found the best thing to do is to get 200-300 points, wait until a day is left and make a big push. You can shield up if you start getting crabbed. Full day if you have enough points to keep your spot or a few hours if you need to heal your team.
