Is there any definitive information about how defense works? Right now I just save a relatively easy fight and put in a tanky rear end team to get my last win before putting the game down for the night or whatever. Is this even necessary?

Also if I use different teams in different events do they get set as the defense team for everything?

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



It uses the last team you won with in that particular event.

In my defence, I only had time to do the PVE missions for those two days. Got 7 heroic/assault team rewards with only dupes of 2* heroes :(

Yeah, unless you spent all day playing yesterday you had to choose between doing well in the PVE or the PVP.

Was it worth costing 18 other people who did put in some effort (and yourself) a guaranteed 3*?

Literally 30 minutes of effort on part of either of the two main offenders would have gotten us a top 100 placement. 30 minutes out of 2 days and 12 hours.

Punisher and Spidey are my main 2, so I'd love to have Falcon up high. He has passives with the colors Spidey has active and an active that's the same color as Spidey's passive, so they can boost each other while saving up for their actives, and Punisher has tiles for Falcon to boost.

Alas, I just have one color from the tournament so it'll be a long time before Falcon's doing much for me.

Well, being just a regular mook rather a commander in our alliance I'm risking you just booting me again for saying this but you should really stop being such a major shitlord and demanding people play a F2P game your way / more to boost your enjoyment of it. Sure it'd be nice if people were able to play more but I'm not gonna get all over someone's rear end because on a few days or even an extended period they can't play a huge amount.

If a F2P match-3 game ever gets to the point where someone riding my rear end makes it feel like a job rather than a game, I'll be out and move onto something with more fun - and you'll be down someone who usually pulls more than the average just for having a poo poo attitude. It doesn't encourage anything, it's just loving lame.

Incidentally, if anyone in Agents of GOON feels like whacking me up to commander so I don't feel like I'm being hounded to perform all the time btw, feel free. Would be nice to know that I don't have to check the thread / forum every two hours to make sure I'm not in danger of being booted out because *someone* thinks they can do better with the latest flavour of hired help. I've been top 5 in the last PVP and top 10 in the one before that for season 1, and top 50 in every hunt event, so it's not like I'm slacking or anything.

Edit: ooo drama in my f2p phone game. :psyduck:

Nah I wouldn't boot you for having an opinion but I personally am not going to commander anyone who didn't pay into the alliance slots. If anyone else does that's their choice. Why would I boot you when you're performing as well as you are?

Falcon looks interesting with more covers. At 4 blue his falcon eats countdown tiles which would be handy for PvE mookfights.

Does anyone know what happens if his falcon countdown tile is popped? Does it come back immediately or stay away for the rest of the game?

My interpretation is that the countdown tile doesn't actually do anything, it just shows you how long until the bird comes back. If the countdown tile goes away for whatever reason the bird still comes back at the same time.

I have no idea if this is true or not, though.

The blue description is kind of baffling in what it actually does. Is it 'the ability triggers whenever you have at least 8 blue AND the countdown isnt active'?

I popped a few today during matches and it immediately refreshed the ability so Falcon could use it on his next turn.

It doesn't eat the blues. It's free, it just needs 8+ AP to trigger.

No. Let me test some - I actually bought 2 10 packs (omg visa MasterCard) and ended up with 1/5/5. Will test and report back.

You got 8+ falcon covers with only two 10 packs? That seems extremely unlikely when you look at the drop rates.

I don't think any of us other than that guy want to be that guy, but I think we can agree the Poops McGee needs to leave the alliance if he's not playing the game anymore.

Does Marvel have any super powered poop throwing monkeys? There's a new character they could use. And if there's any whales in Marvel, one of them too.

On a less silly note, would some sort of shapeshifter character that was disguised in the attacking menu thing work? Like you could do something sneaky and have a team that wins a bunch of defensive fights because the opponent was expecting a different character. Or poo poo, give some kind of Illusion power to Loki that lets you disguise the team.

Or worse, an ability that disguises the level of your characters. Think you're going up against a tesm of level 60's or so, until...
1 cover shows your team's levels at 5% less, 5 covers by half. Jesus, I just scared myself. :gonk:

Mystique. One ability mimics the highest-ISO ability of the other highest-ISO character on your team, second ability mimics a random ability of either other character, third ability is a blue heal that only helps her.

Alternate ability - matches the highest-ISO ability of one of your opponents, or a random ability of an opponent.
