Aha, that explains it. I was too busy trying to snag all the ISO I could to realize that was why the points dropped.

I'm starting to really pick up more 2-star covers. My 1-star Iron Man and Black Widow are all I have left, but I only need a few more HP to unlock 3 slots (which I plan to blow on 3-star Quicksilver, 2-star Black Widow, and 2-star Torch). Should I hold onto 1-star Iron Man (with all his covers I could theoretically level him up a bunch) and Black Widow (the 5-turn stun is pretty nice) for DPD's 1-star mission, or should I ignore that and continue climbing.

Edit: Alternatively if 1-star Juggernaut is better than Iron Man and Black Widow I have enough covers where I could load up on him, just curious what you guys would advise.

Once you have enough covers I'd replace Iron Man with Juggernaut. When you have enough covers for 2* Black Widow you can replace your 1* Black Widow.

Yeah any 1* solo shouldnt have much trouble with that DPD round, my lvl 38 Iron man does fine and I havent cared to finish leveling him up haha.

I think the reason people use Juggernaut is because he's never come up in the 1* DPD match as an opponent before, whereas guys like Iron Man and Spiderman have (which would lock you out of playing that round if you don't have another 1*).

Yup, plus his green is efficient churn for getting annoying tiles out of the way on days where they have the Real Shitter opponents like baby symbiotes, and his red one-shots any given opponent in it.

Nah a bunch of different people. I wasn't really paying attention to alliance or to names. I just attack whoever gives me the most points for the least work. Just noticed a huge list when I opened it up this morning.

As long as I hit 4k for the season that's all I care about. Sweet sweet 10 pack.

I just started really playing two days ago, but thanks to the Mystique event I feel like I'm in pretty good shape: https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/Atoramos/

Slowly working my way through the prologue to finish up Thor, Storm, and Juggernaut. I still get creamed whenever I check out versus mode, I keep getting matchups with level 50+ characters and cycling through hasn't been so helpful. Getting there, though.

Once you get that Magneto and Storm up there you'll start seeing a huge difference. I built up my 3 stars by doing the Deadpool Daily with 2* Storm, Magneto, and Captain Marvel.

Edit: Up to 16 times hit and down 300 points from yesterday. Luckily running a winfinite makes all but capped 4 star teams easy as hell to beat.

I loved it. Luke Cage at 5 black with Cyclops generating red for cheap 5000+ shots and Falcon boosting LC's defense tile was fantastic.

Wow I just beat the 4* dpd node for the first time ever with only 2 yellow IW covers, it's finally happening!

Took a few tries and I boosted 100% match damage and 50% one of her other colors (not blue, obviously) and 2 yellow AP. All I did was be mindful of the invisibility tile while I systematically took out the locked team up tiles and try my best to gently caress up potential blue matches on my turn. You can have more than one invis tile at a time if you're like me and have to match away one of them on your turn, otherwise save your yellow for when he gets lucky and zaps your tile. Quicksilver managed to blow me up once, but I had enough health to take one hit like that with a couple hundred remaining. Made it by the skin of my teeth, and got my venom to 0/1/2.

Took me 2 tries because I took the first round too lightly. Only had to use the +2 R/Y boosts though, so not a big loss in terms of boosts.

But the result was the same. Math Hulk. Black Cover.

Yeah the closest I got to beating him was getting him to 1000 health left. He then somehow got Fists of Fury 4 rounds in a row and killed me. I will not be trying again.

The worst part is that tomorrow I get a daily reward of a Green IW cover, which would have made a hell of a big difference.

2 magneto marvel now
2 bullseye dark avengers
2 captain America ms marvel
2 daken dark avengers
2 Thor (from the story)

1 star spiderman, storm, Thor, black widow from story

Most the 2 stars seem eh outside of ares,Thor and maybe marvel?
Am I missing something on the other people?

Do you want to leave one person at 1 star or do you need 3? I'm actuality digging iron man

I actually like 2 star hawkeye a lot and he's normally a part of my team. Marvel Now magneto seems eh until you realize you can combine him with classic storm and Hawkeye to get 5+ matches regularly.

I can't seem to make Ms. Marvel or Steve Rogers useful.

Marvel works well with Storm and Magneto to fill out the unused colors so you're not wasting matches. Her yellow is a decent board shake and her black hits pretty well over the entire team.

Steve is OK for survival nodes at 3/5/5, once you've got enough red/blue to throw shields you can keep on doing them for a cost of essentially 1AP a time.

Yeah as long as you keep matching yellows and wearing him down you'll be ok. IW fight is a weird one but if you can take his blue matches while also unlocking his AP tiles, you'll be A-OK as long as you stay hidden enough hehe.


I was so busy this weekend I missed the whole PSylocke event which sucks since i have her maxed and the teamups were perfect, would have been an easy 400-500 points womp.. Daken is annoying but at least its not Luke Cage, Thor and Kamela with him is an easy teamup roll unless your Thor dies for some reason and your daken blues are al lthats left to heal hah.

I got 25CP login bonus and my IW legendary token from DPD this weekend, got a Silver Surfer Blue finally and a Amadeus Hulk cover. Nick Fury and IW are at the front of the DPD 4* challenges loop if I recall, so the older 4* chars are coming up for the next ones... It's usually pretty consistent that the DPD's Vault's 4* char challenges, at least one of them, will be the 4* event for that vaults duration. So most likely 4* Wolvie is next, which would be cool since I might have enough covers to win that for once now heh.

That's rough, Thing's Yellow is great and is what makes him skipworthy in PVP lol. Green is real good though, but that looming risk of getting a duplication right now isnt worth it haha.
