I've been hoarding LL tokens for years now waiting for the best time to go for it, and I think I may oughtto while Colossus is still on the table. Is this a good idea? Is Knull worth it? I shoulda gone for it when Cyclops was available.

Because a few people have been asking about it, Roxxon Oil is at capacity at the moment, with everyone in it being pretty active. I wish I could make room for more, but I don't think there will be any in the near future.

Wanda and Colossus are two top tier pulls.

We won’t see a store like this again anytime soon.

Knoll is pretty good actually I’ve been warming up to him. You were right to skip cyclops he is whack.

Colo rotates out in the 28th so I’d pull for him now.

His damage tanking is next level.

I joined some rando guild and they're doing ok and it's probably what I need right now because I still need like 5,000 hero points to roster the people I have waiting and I haven't been opening, like, anything other than the daily mighty ones I get. This game is just spitting them at me. I already have 4 Mantis cards and no idea what I'm doing.

Also, re: support cards, is there anything I should be doing with those? They were just being introduced when I peaced out.

It just depends on which ones you have and which characters you have. Supports can be great if paired with the right character.

Like I have one on my Wanda that has a 40% chance to clear enemy special tiles on power use. So when my Oko or thor fire a power ( which ramps up quick) it starts to clear these BS count down tiles.

I only got her done fairly recently myself.

As for the pulls, well, I went and did it. I spent about 200 tokens. I got 12 Colossus, 13 Knull, but only 8 Wanda. That's pretty good, given the odds. Colossus is max covered, Knull is at 12/13 (with 2 saved), and I can probably get the last one through progression rewards, and Wanda is at 8/13 with an awkward 5/2/1 split. (with 1 saved) I guess I may have to leave Wanda stewing as is for a while since I don't want any more covers for either of the other two right now, but 8 or 9 covers still isn't anything to sneeze at for a 5*. Bonus shards were allocated to Apocalypse, who is my current long-term project. I got 2 covers for him, bringing him up to 5. I also wound up with about 2000 HP, 150K ISO-8, 150 CP, and 20 or so more LL tokens from champed 4*s.

Now I've got to get all the ISO-8 to actually champ them...

Fwiw Colo is a heavy tank so the more HP on him the better he gets. He also leaves on the 28th but Ronan doesn’t look so hot.

Personally I would (and did) go hard for Wanda and Colo. I had 9 saved covers on Wanda before I finally got to champ her.

They are also good for changing who matches tiles. I've got my Juggernaut set up so that when he's with Starlord and Rocket he matches everything except yellow which pretty much guarantees that the low level pve nodes are over in one match.

I can't do the 5 star node with the mindless ones after beating it a few cause they hit too hard and I don't have a good character to deal with all these special tiles. It's a problem and my solution is to try again next time.

Use mobius he clears all the tiles.

That's a solution but I only have two covers on him so I'll just have to live with only clearing it like 3 times. Just don't have anyone else that can really destroy the tiles fast enough since they're popping out countdowns within like turn 2 and have 60k health.

So you'd say Mantis is the best 4* counter to Polaris? I was thinking of putting my bonus shards for her or Morbius, but went with Morbius.

eta- Although I guess doing damage at the same time as you reduce the amount of damage they do, while good, isn't quite as effective as just preventing the enemy from doing damage entirely. lol

I'm going Mantis, Carnage, Medusa in the simulator right now and I'm assuming attacking that would be a nightmare since there's no planning around it. Things just happen.

What is this poo poo making Mantis solo against Carnage but not allowing her to stun, literally her main use? Like, you're basically just trying to defeat him with match damage at this point.

Edit: lol Now it's Mantis vs. Sandman who, even while champed, has more HP than her and since you don't have a reliable way to create special tiles for yourself you can't heal and he can't be stunned.

I used Peggy Captain America and just kept them stunned most of the time. I've also heard using Polaris and keeping them stunned works. Either works well if Hydra Stomper is tanking blue.

I can beat Riri/Mockingbird/Doombot sometimes by targeting the Doombot first. If it's alive, it's just a countdown until Riri wrecks my poo poo. After that, Riri, then Mockingbird as I usually have someone who can remove her countdown tiles. Even then, it's no guarantee, but persistence pays off. It's the Thing/Mordo/poo poo-Lord I almost never get past. I did beat it this time by getting insanely lucky with huge chains in useful colors, and that was still with a champed Phoenix Colossus.

I can make room for a couple people in Roxxon Oil unless the people in there who've been idle for a month or so become active again. If I cleared you out and want back in, just reapply and I'll let you back in, room permitting. I usually only remove people if they've been idle for a month or more and if someone else would like to join.
