I found the same OML cover with dudes at around 120 and it wasn't too bad. Finding a second 5* hosed me bad, though, I had to chuck Phoenix.

OML is legit, even with the scaling issues; his healing is phenomenal for PvE and has saved me from using so many health packs.

Dr_Gee posted:Speaking of Pizza Dogs, I haven't been on for a couple days (my name there might be Dr_Ooze) because my old phone bit it and I haven't had the willpower to force myself through the tutorial for the 3rd time until I get my new phone up and running. I will, however, be back to give everyone those 10 sweet ISO per day soon. Good news, in the next patch, probably in the next few days, they're finally updating it so you can connect to facebook and restore before going through the entire tutorial. And yes, if there's any single 5* cover to have, it's OML yellow, it makes going through the easy PVE and early lightning rounds so much faster and cleaner. DPD edit: Didn't pay much attention until the end of Enchilada, but make sure you have all the AP saved up you can and end wave 3 on a power or crit; first wave was (I think) just three random goons, second was Ragnarok and 2 goons, third was Switch and 2 goons, and the last wave was Carnage, Ant-man and Kamala. Not too bad until the end, but those three can get brutal. ninja alamode fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Feb 27, 2016 |

My scaling is going to be all sorts of screwed up now I have a few of my 2* championed up around 119 or so, I think they were hovering about 114 when I pulled my OML. The scaling can be annoying sometimes now, if an event powers up a few characters I have that are not covered well it can be tough to take down some stuff but I haven't noticed a huge difference. I see more champion 3* teams in pvp now but that just means I have to skip more. I take way less losses on defense in pvp, although I found OML red who is probably better on defense than yellow is.

My DPD advice is *** bullseye. He carries that event so hard. Failing that, another source of strong attack tiles like grocket or tchalla. If I'm talking ** I would put my faith in either MMags+Cstorm or Wolvy+OBW

Today's DPD is: IM35 + 1* Spidey + Yelena (yes, all three) / Thing + Officer + Spy / Ragnarok + 2 Criterions / Black Panther + IM40 + CMags. Not too bad if you can get past the first wave quickly.

I almost have enough command points to pull a legendary. I also have three 3 star characters (Spiderman, Grey Black Widow, Iron Man 40) one cover short of being maxed. Which is the better move?

Which is the better move? do NOT spend CP to level a 3* hero's powers. especially someone like spider-man who is trash tier. for 20/25 CP you should be pulling LT exclusively, because you can get an infinite amount of 3* covers thru dpd (as long as you're patient). what's the cost to level a cover for a 4* hero? 120 CP! spending 20/25 is a much better deal, although with the handicap that you can't choose the cover you'll get at 20/25 CP.

That was my gut feeling. Didn't realize Spiderman was considered trash though. The combo of him and Widow usually make it so I'm shielded from most damage until I charge up the sniper rifle.

One thing I can't figure out about these mega whales is that not only do they have to spend literally thousands of dollars to get the characters all fully maxed, they still must have to play the game for many hours each day in order to place top on everything. Even if you have a maxed 5* roster that that one King Dreadnought guy, it still takes a good chunk of time to get the points, and as they are so keen on the game they want to score 2000+ points in every event. I just don't get who has that kind of money AND time in combination.

i'm really starting to feel the iso crunch. i have five 3* heroes that are either ready to champion or one cover away from championing, and i'm looking at like 400k iso to level them all. considering only the 3700 iso you can get from the dpd, that's only 109 days to go! heaven forbid i start getting enough covers for a single 4* hero to actually want to level them

Focus on one character at a time. DPD, one round of PVE and tournament action add up quickly, especially after you sell all the garbage 1/2* covers you get from fighting and tokens. Once you champion, you start getting iso back out when you add covers. Even 2* champions help.

Eh, you earn iso faster than you think you do. It's another hundo for every 1* that drops in pvp, plus all the piddling iso rewards do seem to add up. If your 2* dudes are champed then you'll be making more iso from 2* covers than you would selling them, too. You've also got another 200 per day from your clan. If you're playing regularly you should probably be able to champ a couple dudes a month. What level are they softcapped at now?

I've pulled 3 red Hulk Covers in the last couple of days, and now he's 0/4/4. Thinking of saving up 240 HP to finish him out. Also have Jean Grey at 3/1/5 as an option as well.

Yeah that's a lot of cp to have to save up but I'm thinking of doing the same with my 4/5/3 iceman. If I don't get another cover for him by the time I've levelled him up then I've got 120 cp saved up to buy the last one.

The very same moment I got my first few fully covered and leveled 3's everyone has championed 3's. I think by the time I get useable 4's I'll be going against well champed 4's. Turtle pace but it's all I have time to dedicate. I'm tanking pve's til the rewards look good enough to go for.

I'm having a bit of trouble deciding whether to tank PVE or play enough to grab the command tokens. So far I've been going for the command tokens, but I haven't finished close to top 100 even when sort of trying.

Tank for a few then you'll be paired with people who aren't trying and staying above 10 is as easy as doing the sub twice usually. I got black goblin from champing doom.

Wound up getting OML from a legendary draw, but I got his red. He's strong as gently caress but because of that power, he loses something like 600HP every time an ally fires a power. It's not THAT big of a deal considering he has over 10000HP, but it's still annoying.

I team him up with OBW to mitigate it somewhat. I bet KK would be even better but I have her at exactly one purple cover.

I just use him, Deadpool (for the whalepoints) and whoever. He's quite nice for wrecking PvP seed teams as well, and weak PvE fights. I do get the feeling it probably works better if you have his heal too, but I haven't.

KK+Hood+anyone with shields is so incredibly annoying to face in PvP; it's hard to fire off any abilities, you can't do any damage and KK is healing every other turn. KK's yellow is worth it just for the deterrent factor, IMO.

I'm starting to transition from 3* to 4*, and I'm weighing between leveling up 3*s that I don't use to champion levels (like Beast, Storm, Gamora), or putting ISO into the the few 4*s I have that are worth leveling (Nick Fury, Kingpin). Improve Level 3*s: Don't lose out on HP and CP bonuses for covers, but sink iso into rarely used characters and leave 4*s relatively weak Improve Level 4*s: Get more immediate benefit, but lose out on additional bonuses from extra covers and potentially mess up seeding What are people in the same situation doing at this point?

As I understand it rhulk is up there in the top tier of 4* idk about the newer ones that have come out but it seems like it's one of IMHB/Cyclops and then Teen Jean/Iceman/RHulk for the top tier 4* teams.

Is it just me or did they increase the ISO required to level 3* characters? Mystique needs over 80k to level from 130 to 165. I could swear it was lower than that.

They did re-balance it at some point a while ago so that the total cost went down a bit, but it was also a lot more back-loaded; leveling up to 120 took virtually chump change, but from there on you have to really work for it. It was enacted so as to make newly-collected 3* heroes more immediately usable.
