Just got screwed out of my first 1000 point tournament. Had 960, played a 40 point match, it showed 1002 on my screen but I somehow ended up at 932 and didn't trigger the Carnage prize. :(

Hey cool 3 tokens for just doing that whatever event. *pulls 3 2 stars*

Also just had the final node, Venom, Symbiote and Daken, down my Thor before he could pull of a single ability. 16,000 damage before I could pull off even a red attack. Love the RNG in this game sometimes.

The free tokens were cool, but even better it seems like an acknowledgement that the event was messed.

They said beforehand that they'd give 3 event tokens for participating. I played one PVE match on the first day and received the tokens.

I, too, pulled three 2*s.

That was a horrible loving grind, but I took first in my bracket, so I don't know how much I'm entitled to complain; it's certainly not fun at all to spend 3 hours grinding nodes up front versus an hour in the morning, an hour at lunch and an hour at night. I really feel like they should soften the PvE progression reward tiers to make it easier for people that don't want to play as much and don't want to deal with all the bullshit that goes into the PvP system.

Sticking in this alliance has paid off big time. I now have a 0/1/2 OML and right now and I haven't put a penny into this game. He's pretty game breaking. I can't imagine if I had him full-up.

I'm at the point where, except for SW, I've got all of the actually useful 3* heroes championed, and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which turd 3* I want to spend iso on to champion for the LTs. I have 3* punisher at max covers but he's only level 114 and it's something like 108k iso to max and champion, but I did pull a black cover from one of the 3 free tokens from the enemy of the state giveaways. I've also got patches one cover away from 13 covers and he's on next week's dpd rotation and he's also a reward coming up in pvp and in the current pve, but he's also level 127 and it's like 87k iso to max and champion him. I know 3* punisher basically goes unused outside weeks where he's the featured hero, but I hate seeing covers rot because I don't have the iso to make use of them. I'm at 40k iso right now and can probably grind out enough at my current leisurely pace to nude him or patches into champ status, but not both.

3* Punisher is actually surprisingly useful if you build him 3/5/5. The strike tiles from his green are impressively powerful, and his red can knock out a really high HP enemy for a very good cost/damage ratio. I use him all the time with Blade and Hood and it just smothers the entire board with attack and strike tiles and AP leech.

Patch would probably be more universally useful, though.

years of playing video games has permanently etched into my brain the need to play every game as effectively / optimally / min-max-y as possible. i was realizing the other day that i have quite a few 3* heroes championed that i'll likely never use in play outside their featured weeks for whatever reason, but chiefly among them because shitwreckers like cyclops/IF/SW exist and it's so much harder to match someone like HT or psylock onto a team where they're really being used effectively and there's no duplicate color coverage and there's not another hero who can fill the same niche better and etc.

it's like i'd rather burn all my health packs on cyc/IF/SW and then stop, for example, than also play a few rounds with HT and doom and rags.

nova and GR are both not great. i guess it seems like nova might have some synergy with the new 4* punisher? GR has his black but other than that is completely forgettable.

edit: hey bone rangers the awful enemy of the state pve and cmags pvp are both over now you can all come out of hiding and go back to everybody earning the max daily log-in reward again.

be sure to come up with a plan for who you want to prioritize for iso expenditure and stick with it. if you try to spread it around to everyone it will take forever to get 3* characters to level 166. it sucks to (eventually) have multiple 3* heroes at 13 covers and not enough iso to champ them, and then finding more 3* covers and knowing they're probably going to rot / get sold for 500 iso :(

Versus is so dumb once you get to the 700-ish range. It's impossible to get over 800. I'll fight one battle that will net me around 30 points but in the mean time three people will fight and beat me, knocking me back further than where I was before I started the battle.

Is there any way to stop that? Right now I'm sitting at second place and I can't get above 730-ish.

Have a super good scarecrow team, check the roster of the people you're attacking (don't attack any superwhales or high level alliance members) and try playing overnight. I've never been able to break the 1000 mark but I've been able to regularly hit 800.

Depends on the event.

Don't run OML unless he's multi-covered. Beyond that, Luke Cage is a pretty good general spoiler. His starting defense tile is usually enough to scare off most midlevel players. Or he could cause enough of a delay for the rest of your team to blast them.

Scare crow teams take a lot now.

Before you only needed some buffed 3's.

Now you need champed and leveled and boosted 3's, leveled annoying top tier 4's or well covered 5's. otherwise you will be attacked.

Even carnage thing and other 'those dudes are annoying' characters are less threatening with the 5 stars besides surfer being so strong.

you don't have a scarecrow team (sorry). if your highest level hero is a champ 2* thor and a mismatched OML then you're the guy everyone else is hoping has 800 points so they can win an easy 75 points off you. shield often and shield early?

it's also not really a thing any more, because high level pvp is all about being in a pvp alliance and using out of game connections / chat and shield hopping. shield hopping is very important to getting the 1000+ score and keeping it and will cost you real $$$ unless you have either a stockpile of HP saved up or get extraordinarily lucky with the timing of your own shield purchases without the foreknowledge of being in a pvp alliance.

I managed to do it with OBW and Hood + Steve, didn't even take a lot of damage. It slowed down the red AP gain enough to stun Carnage before he managed to fire his skills. While he's stunned, the symbiote wastes the AP on countdown tiles.

I beat it with that team. I think mine were set at 3/5/5, 4/4/5, 5/5/3

quote:

Kill Carnage first. Keep green and yellow away from Venom. Black Panther's blue drops defense tiles. Kamala's pink and Thor's yellow will trigger a flood of green. Thor's Call The Storm will do the major damage. There's also Rage Of The Panther but that should be saved for last resorts.

They'll seriously hurt your team but you should be able to trigger enough powers for Kamala to keep them alive.

Thankfully, I got my command point on the first try so I didn't have to play it again.
