OBW, Magneto Now, & Punisher works well on all brotherhood fights. I swap OBW for Classic Storm for Dark Avengers.

OBW uses anti-grav and steals purple, Magneto makes 5 billion blue tiles with the purples OBW steals, and Punisher punishes.

I Failed At Anime 2022
I've been using Magneto NOW (14, 3/5/5), Spidey (60, 3/5/5) and Punisher (100, 3/4/5) or whatever hero I'm required to use. Magneto's Purple fuels Spidey's Blue, I can gather AP while stunlocking the enemies, use Punisher's Green and Black to whittle them down, kill off two with Punisher's Red, heal with Spidey's Yellow and then finish off the last one. Only lost one battle due to poo poo luck. Though I do have to use the +3 Blue / Purple boost against Ares / Two Mooks cause I cannot deal with his green.

Except in the Oasis stages, where I use OBW, Modern Storm and Punisher or Daredevil in that one stage that forces you to.

Got a Psylocke Blue from my first PVE token, bringing her to 1/1/1. I can only take her to level 20, though, which sucks rear end.

All I want is to get to 70k to get my Punisher Green to finish his build.

I'm so used to Modern Storm for PVE that I can't envision myself using Classic Storm. Sure, she has an AOE nuke and a stun in one skill, and her Green has better return that Modern's with high Green AP, but I just find Modern's Red so goddamn useful in most stages.

I am using 2star Storm, Magneto now and Daken. Magneto fuels storm and Daken increases the damage (and, if needed, takes hits).

What are you guys using for the 1 star tournament? I pretty much sold all my 1 stars so I can't really do anything in it anyway but I'm curious what a good team for it would be.

Storm, I.M, Juggernaut. Because those are the highest leveled guys I have.

Everybody in there uses red, and both storm and juggs use green so it would make sense to remove Juggs and replace him with Venom.

Anyways, got lucky with the four tokens I got in the PvE event: Psylocke, Mags now x 2, Daredevil.

I wish I had a Spider Man worth using. Or a single Psylocke cover. It would make things so much easier.

And I got a Psylocke cover from the progression reward token an hour veggie the end. Managed to sneak into top 5 Nigeria and just missed out on top 15 in the other sub as I could do the missions that needed her.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Psylocke, MagnetowNOW in the color I needed, and a Punisher to sell from the rewards. I think the game's buttering me up.

Magneto NOW and Classic Storm trivialize this poo poo, it rules. Storm's boosted blue is disgusting, and Mag's purple at level 5 is insane.

This is a joke for me. I don't have either storm on my roster, but every other token seems to be a storm cover, and I just sell them. The game might be trying to send a message that says, "Use a Storm," but I'll be a child and refuse to listen.

C. Storm is ridiculous in this event. C. Storm, Magneto Now and Spidey have been cleaning house and no one on the enemy team gets to move at all.

So, thanks to all those tokens from the PvE event my first 13-cover 2-star character is... a 5/5/3 Magneto Now (Maxed blue is really fun against the cpu countdown tiles). Sucks that the 30,000 point reward int the PvE is yet another red cover but it's not like I care that much about him.

Modern Storm is also close to the cover limit but I am hoping to find the last blue cover.

The respec system is apparently in the next patch. If you get another cover for her you really have nothing to lose by throwing it on there and leveling her up to 85 while you wait for the one you want.

So yeah, joining a bracket late and then doing the harder missions three times or so catapulted me to #2 in one of the PvE event locations. Yay for Rubber-banding!

There is also a Psylocke tourney starting. And the prize is Mags, welp, I guess I know what I'll be doing now.

Finished one of the Iso-8 lab brackets in top 5 45 minutes ago, but still haven't got the rewards. It's happened before, and usually I've been able to trigger due rewards by playing another mission, but not this time.

Anyone got experience in dealing with problems like this? Sent a message to them via the game, but I'm going to be sad if those two assault team recruit tokens are lost to HYDRA.
