Holy gently caress I am so sorry Clawtopsy.

I just took my T1 Star Turd in to dominate Risk as I am down to my trash and he solo'd T2 Vernon and Carnage. Then the 2nd round was 3 T1s and he dominated all 3, solo, with basically no life left.

I just T2ed Pen 15 Quill and I am ready for action. What a real man.

I don't like this game of who said it. I'm leaning towards Raconbot but i'm not sure.

Got Rogue to 6* today, Beast tomorrow, Storm and Cyclops in a few days. At 871 in the crystals so think I can get Wolvie in a week or so. At 6200 crystals so almost at Magneto. I'm about to have mutant overload!

And hopefully I can finish Magneto soon enough to get the crystals back and buy those Venom and Spider-Man costumes. That Homecoming Spider-Man seems like a beast. One of them singlehandedly took out my Strange, Rogers, and Ancient One the other day.

Probably Gwenpool (100% with costume) but Santana is no slouch. She's actually kinda tanky in that her passive gives her a flat 10 seconds of immunity and she outputs enough DPS that she can kill most stuff in that window without even worrying about taking a hit. If it runs out she can drop dead pretty quickly though. Team her up with her bro and swap to him when her immunity runs out, then he can do stuff for 20 seconds until her cooldown is up. She solos stage 21 Venom for me every week (or if I'm lazy I add in Ghost Rider and her bro.) I only T2ed her because I felt bad about feeding her bios to the BO since they're only semi-farmable.

I capped out on phoenix feathers today. Wolvie is 420 and Jean is 2-3 weeks away. Oh well.

The way Risk works is that sometimes you'll load up a mission and the game will say 'Alliance battle is ready!' in a popup, and you say okay and then it tell you that you're in prep phase and you can't do anything. Other times you will remember 'oh it's alliance battle time' and load up only to see there's about three minutes left so there's no point in doing anything. Then when the battle is over you'll get a chest with approx. 100 GuKs.

You get thingies to turn into alliance points/xp/tokens based on the amount of regions we hold after each phase ends. If you don't collect them before the next phase starts, they'll be gone!


The first risk attack phase starts two hours after Friday's daily reset. An attack phase lasts for two hours, the next one starts 6 hours after the previous one ends. The second attack phase is during the first 2 hours of the second hot time and the third phase is when most of you sleep, four hours before hot time starts again. Risk ends at Tuesday's reset.

At the daily reset any characters that were defeated are revived and can be used again. Chars on defense are stuck there (although you can switch them out for tokens, but don't do that). I don't know if they fixed this yet (prolly not), but if you attack a region and don't finish the attack before your access is cut off / the phase ends / the region locks, you characters might be stuck in limbo for days. Last time this happened to me, the region had to be conquered by us, then taken back by another team for my chars to become unstuck.

Although I didn't realize you could hold onto the boxes. I was sort of working under the impression that I had to open a box to make sure the next one showed up. I guess that doesn't make sense but it still seems odd since I don't remember ever waking up to 2 or 3 boxes when I'm away for a long time.

Maybe I'm just not getting enough sleep.

As long as the app is active (as in, open on screen, app connects you to the chat servers etc.) during a box's 4 hour period, you get the box. You won't see it until the app is restarted though. If there's no app activity, you won't get the box (i.e. if you sleep for 8 hours straight, you'll miss one box, possibly 2). Just checked and you actually need to restart to get the box every four hours.
The boxes expire after 7 days, so you could save up a whole bunch, but I just open them during the hot time I'm active in, in case I get a whole bunch of energy I need to burn through quickly.

Ahh. That makes sense. I guess I just defaulted to "make sure to open up the app every couple of hours to make sure I get a box" and didn't think much about it beyond that.

I took over leadership of my alliance a few weeks ago and finally got us into the Risk game.

First week I just kind of singlehandedly won a couple of regions and we took 1st because no one else played.

Second week a few guys got into it and we nearly took the board.

This last week was an actual fight. I probably had 7-10 people playing and we took 1st, but it was a real fight with the other alliances and we kept going back and forth taking regions. We ultimately won it in the last Battle Phase by taking the 5* region with a firebomb and like 4 of us trying. I had to use 18 characters to take down the Black Order in one region, but we pulled it off with a team effort that put us over the top. Then I had to use a shield to protect another region they tried to nab at the last minute that would have put them back over the top.

It was fun but I imagine the novelty is going to wear off in a couple of weeks. And as we climb up the ladder I assume we'll just start getting our asses kicked by more advances alliances since we've only got a dozen really active and advanced players at best and none of us have a huge roster of T2s.

But hey, some Alliance Tokens and 2 million gold isn't bad for a mini game that doesn't even cost energy. And it seems to be having a really positive affect on my trying to build up my dinky alliance with some real team building bonding exercises.

Yeah, I'm having fun with it for now and debating the merits of giving Class 1 to a bunch of the more active players so they can use the tools or worrying that they'll burn out our reserve of Alliance Pts or whatever it is. Its cool to have another thing to play with and one that actually kind of is genuinely co-operative and strategic.

As a class 2, should I be saving Alliance tokens? I've just been donating them because I couldn't figure out anyplace else to use them.

Also, for the X-Men tracking missions, is there any advantage to doing the highest level difficulty? The rewards appear to be 1 bio and 1 m'kraan shard for each mission, regardless of level, and I'm wondering if I can use it to grind up lower level characters.
