They refunded HP to alliances when they cut the costs of roster expansion so it might actually happen.

Man, that would be a nice HP windfall. I need to start saving HP to level up my IW once they finally get around to her redux. I have her at 2/3/2 and other than XFW, she's the only other 4* I have with any significant amount of covers.

I'd be pretty shocked if they did, but sitting on 52 cover slots I'd be freaking ecstatic. I actually need more slots so a lot of that HP would go back into more.

Yeah I've tried 5 different teams on it and nothing's even come close. And I have a nice 3-star roster.

He really, really does. Possibly more than Invisible Woman, who is supposedly getting fixed again really soon. Has anyone come across him in PVP? I haven't. But I don't really see Elektra either.

Same here, 50 slots just isn't enough, especially with how quickly they're adding new characters.

Juggernaut has an ability that does a ton of damage, but also makes him suffer a large amount of damage. Often, he ends up killing himself by using that power.

The only problem with the Deadpool dailies is they're so good when you run out all the other content in the game feels that much shittier. Grinding PVE nodes every eight hours for minimal ISOs and eventually a cover reward I don't need isn't a whole lot of fun.

Getting into an empty bracket is amazing, I just got top 5 in the Fist Pump tournament without having a single Iron Fist cover. And now my Luke is 4/1/3. Hell yeah.

Yeah but you also have the chance of getting into the very end of an already stacked bracket, and that means you won't be able to build up points for the 10 pack and all the other assorted goodies. I guess you'd have to strike it lucky like two or three times throughout the season to make it worth it.

It's probably the most PvP I've done in this game in like 6 months or so, I'm just glad I got it on one of my favorite characters.

What time do you join to try for the very end? Like 5 minutes before ending or an hour?

If there are any other tricks like this, let me know. I just join events and grind poo poo out, and I don't think I've gotten top 100 in PvP yet, but I should get top 50 in the simulator, depending on the next round of essentials

I just joined an 8 am bracket at like 4 pm the day before it ended. In general I feel like going for the 1/4/8 am brackets for events in general has been a lot kinder to me, because the people that REALLY grind it out will slack off overnights. Like I went to bed 2nd in Fist Pump and woke up 5th.

I don't know if I just coincidentally fell into less occupied brackets recently or if it's because of this effect, I've been getting ranks for the same or less effort on PvE.

In my experience, a couple consecutive tanks lasts a LONG time. Last season I fully tanked the first two PvPs - went up to 300 then put up lv 50s and left them the rest of the event. When I started playing again, I was up against 1-stars. That only lasted half of one event, but even by the end of the season, I'm still below where my MMR was when I started. Started out seeing full 3s/4s, now it's still just full 2s/partial 3s.

So the new thing where your open teamup slots are randomly equipped with powers you've got lying around is neat. God knows the only way I used teamups before was frantically checking to see if I still had anything useful equipped from last week.

I'm really bad about using team-ups because I hate losing them once I use them, so I tend to save up a stock of stuff that would be good to use for defense. Call the Storm, Wind Storm, Rage of the Panther, etc. The expensive but heavy hitting type stuff, since AI tends to go for team up tiles fairly frequently.

Does your defense team pull a team-up from what you have? I always assumed it was random.

Isn't your defense team whatever you last played a match with, including team-ups? I just equip whatever ones I want to leave on my defense team and then don't use it for that match, so that it's 'saved' to my last-used team.

A friend is in a more serious top 100 alliance, and one thing they do is to ask folks to keep some useful 1*s around for when folks request teamups. Juggernaut is super useful for this, Hawkeye too.

Depends on if you get stupidly lucky twelve more times. (you won't) Buying covers with hero points is pretty much always a waste. I'm at 52 roster slots, they cost 700hp each now, and I wish I had at least another 10-15.

Fair enough! She'll still be pretty handy as a meat shield for the other heroes for the time being, I guess?
