How is the new 5* character not Phoenix/Dark Phoenix? The powers make sense for her. She's a team player until she loses it, then everything burns. How is Logan even on the same level as Silver Surfer? He doesn't have cosmic power, all he can do is stab stuff with his claws.

It's probably less about power level and more about Wolverine being a huge flagship character for Marvel in general.

Having said that I'm sure Phoenix Jean will also eventually be added and will be a 5* character.

How is Juggernaut a 1* and Kingpin a 4*? Power level in comics almost never correlates to number of stars in this game.

Making Wolverine a 5* is a good decision in terms of cash. People like Wolverine so the majority of whales are going "GOTTA HAVE THAT LOGAN HNNNGGG" and will probably drop a ton of cash on tokens to try and fill him out.

This is accurate. Old Man Logan will be the "real" wolverine of the Marvel (comic) universe as soon as Secret Wars wrap up and all of the new books launch. Making OML a 5* character is just homogenizing the game with the current state of the 616 comic universe.

I didn't notice there was a specific thread for this, but what's up with the Under the Sea mission in Deadpools Daily? The first 4 are reasonable enemies that I can now get past with taking almost no damage, but then the second set, I'll get at least one hero defeated instantly because the AI's hero tends to spam out AP abilities like mad. Even attacking with 3 level 40 heroes will at least near maxed out abilities I've only ever been able to get past it once.

Goons generate ap passively, sometimes more than they can use per turn. This leads to ap being stockpiled, and when you kill the last goon in the first wave with a match your turn ends and the ai hero in the second wave is free to start their turn with access to that mountain of ap. Sounds like you're still using one stars so what you wanna do is save your ap during the first wave, kill the last goon with a skill so that your turn doesn't end, then immediately use black widow stun on the hero. From there it should be pretty simple to mop up that wave as well.

Yea, I have 2 star Thor, and 1 star Widow and Hawkeye as the team that's my highest level characters. I've tried to save as much AP as possible, and especially with Widow's blue ability, because the only time I managed to fully complete it I was able to do exactly that.

I figured a lot of the issues was that I still had one star characters. I guess just keep playing.

Jesus christ I don't understand how you guys can stand this stupid rear end system of pvp where even off season I get attacked enough to need 10 health packs to go from 600 to 650, and the game always seems a bit more cascade happy when I have 0 health packs.

I guess after getting a red carnage from the first i shouldn't push my luck on a second token. Was just trying to get to 800 for my first colossus. Don't even like him, definitely not getting my first deadpool red here either. Lost 63 just typing this.

If and when you bump into storm wearing white (classic storm) use build her up with 5 blue, 5 green and 3 yellow.

End the rounds on a power so you go first and try to freeze the next group.

Try to avoid using powers on the first set of goony enemies.

part is 1 star characters, but the bigger part is all enemy waves in this game to my knowledge are set up in an goon wave, characters, goon wave, characters, sort of way. You have to fight all ending rounds with powers and freezing when you can.

Sadly I'm only 2 star. So every team is auto- storm mags featured unless a 3 star like clops is boosted. And I don't have the HP at the moment.

I get the ideas behind higher end pvp, I just wish it wasn't gated behind a 3 star roster, and I'm hoping I can get into 4 star before that becomes the new normal, doubt I'm on any kill lists, it's just 600 may be a lot for my lil dudes, especially with people aiming for that green carnage (that I already have 3 of :smug:)

Yeah I've added you too. I don't really care how far along you are or anything and I don't enforce competing for alliance rewards in PvE/Season brackets, as long as you participate I'm happy. Before I realized the previous commander had left and appointed me, I was starting to wonder why the daily participation iso bonus had dropped down to like 100-110 on average. It's a good thing this event coming up prompted me to actually look at the roster again, I didn't even know it had updated to show how long people had been gone from the game, and half a dozen people being away for month or more sure explained things.

But yeah, the nice thing about this event is that it's not universally competitive, it's just internal to the alliance, so as long as everyone just participates we should do fine.

Unrelatedly, has any official art come out yet for the new 4* characters in this event? I'm kinda curious if "classic" Cyclops means old condom-head Cyke or 90's cartoon Cyke. I'm hoping it's the latter, and given that 'classic' storm is her 90's cartoon design, I'm betting it's the same here, but I'm curious anyway, and after the uncanny valley that was Iceman's art, I'm wary of just how bad a condom-head Cyke could be.

I have 90s Storm, but heroic tokens are pretty scarce and I tend to get new characters rather than enhancing old ones. I don't mind too much because I at least got Squirrel Girl from one. And yea, Widow is by far the best for the daily because her stun blue power isn't too hard to build up and 5 turns is a lot.

Though i can't really do anything when the ai gets a cascade of matches that hit for 1800 damage in total. Also, its kind of bullshit the ai gets to use their team ups multiple times when you can only use yours once.

Thanks, good to hear, I'm on daily at this point because if I'm not i'm missing out on the one sure fire 3 star a day, and the faster I get the daily progression up the better, some semi useful covers have been popping up like weekly.

Yeah the cascading enemies thing never really improves, buy you've got the idea.

The AI also prioritizes team ap at the same level as its other high-priority ap colors, so it seems like they get more teamups off simply because they don't avoid it like players do.

They're not entirely separate games, any alliance can have any combination of mobile and PC players as far as I'm aware. They're only separate in the sense that d3 has so far refused to establish any sort of cloud-save feature that allows a single person to play on both platforms under the same profile.
