I think curiosity would get the best of me and I'd buy one or two slots and spend the rest on Heroic Cover rolls.

I just did this and got X-Force Wolverine. Glad I bought a new bench for another superstar to sit in forever :suicide:

Hahaha these first few minutes in the new event were great, I kept one-shotting everyone with my UberThor. Got 150 points in 5 minutes.

e: finished in the Top 10, not bad.

I was hoping you could get C-Storm's blue and yellow covers from tokens but it doesn't look like it. I did the campaign before the big patch, so is hero coins the only way to get them? She's at 5/4/3, I just need the one :/

I loving hate boosted Thor and the yellow iron man 40. 6 yellow AP for 6 red AP unless I clear the fuckers out of the bottom of the board? Yeah sure that seems reasonable against a 9 red AP nuke that generates yellow AP.

You mean a 6 red AP nuke. If you can't beat them...

Seems like it's impossible to reach 900 right now. As soon as I get to the mid-800's I become public enemy nş1; it's a losing game when you bleed points faster than you can get them.

Tried to see if I could hit 1200 and got stalled at 1100. Seems like it needs to a very specific time of day (or some maxed 3 stars) to hit. Or more luck than I've been having.

Same but stalled at 1000; starting at 600 wasn't ideal and you know I'll be right back down there next time I try. Worst thing is I'm not making any money with these fights, so it all feels pretty pointless.

Grey Widow is my most promising 3-star character at 1/2/2, so all these rewards are most welcome.

Any info yet on the "original" Widow?

Its definitely a nice mix of events at the moment. Murder fun time of Thor. Vs AI for Heroic, and bait and smash in Widow.

Shame about Thor's event's rewards, nothing really worth fighting for. We're on the same bracket, by the way, I'm #3 to your puny #8 :smugdog:

hey same bracket bros, kinda disillusioned with the rewards for Thornament now I've finished my Daken so I'm just chilling and taking what comes - just dropped all my health packs on Juggevent anyhow, maybe I should try to find a synth and seravid to forfeit to in the last minute to help you guys out if I can.

That would be so cheesy. I like it. Don't think it would help much, though, I'm back to the 200 points lost per half-hour routine.

Re: Daken, I'm not sure what to do with him. He's 5/5, level ~15 and I can't see why I should spend more of my precious ISO on the guy. The game - as it stands - is all about KO'ing the other team as quickly as possible and Daken works on the opposite spectrum. I suppose he could work as a deterrent but that never stops me when he's on the other side so :shrug:


Also, anything other than 5/5/3 for Thor is wrong.

Strike tiles, healing... All that just slows the game down which means you'll either take more damage overall or, instead of losing 30 points while you're in-game, you'll lose 60.

Way I see it, you just can't beat C-Storm + Thor's efficiency and with Grey Widow finally getting more covers (Classic Magneto's still stuck at 2/0/1 :qq:), I don't think I have room for a war of attrition guy.

Edit: 1200 wasn't enough for my top 50. And yes we are just doing the last fight over and over again. You let hawkeye take damage to set off Cstorm 2 times. Then Thor redx2 and then Thor yellow to take out ragnarok. Then take out darken. Then take out yalene.


Yes yes it is. And I'm hoping for the same thing because I would love a 2/3/3 grey widow. I kinda wish the last fight wasn't so easy so that it didn't become a battle of attrition
Crap. I have to get in on this, then, because I would love a 2/3/4 Grey Widow. Just have to beat that mission 70 times :negative:

All these Woverine posts are making me doubt my decision to spend all my ISO on Grey Widow; wondering if a 5/1/1 Wolvie (max lvl 40, currently 7 :v:) is worth leveling over my 2/3/4 Widow (max lvl 89, currently 54).

Anyone here rolling a lvl 85 Captain America? Wondering if he's worth leveling past 50. I ran out of covers for Wolverine so I'm sitting on a bunch of ISO with nowhere to go. Guess I could use them to add three or four levels to Grey Widow.

Yeah, he's useful at 3/5/5 but, like you said, he only sees action when I don't have my top tier guys available. Maybe he makes up for it with health? 2662hp at lvl 50 is pretty good.

Anyone here with a triple digit character? I was disappointed to see my lvl 89 Grey Widow's best tile does less damage than a lvl 85 2-star character. I assume 50 is the highest damage you can get, regardless of stars?

Got another Grey Widow cover in a standard pack! I think this would be a good time to spend a few bucks on the game, to support the devs and max my first 3-star character. Let's see: the remaining covers would cost me 18€ (and that's because I already have 1k HP) and I'd need at least two of those 45€ ISO packs to reach max level.

So that's more than 100€ to complete a character who already has 10 out of 13 covers and is lvl ninety-freaking-one :psyduck:

I am almost positive I can make top 10 in the top shot tournament, but I don't know if I want to stay one below to get the Bullseye covers instead. I only have one IM40 red cover sitting in my cache, while the Bullseye reward would give me 3 purple and 2 black total; my first black covers for him. The extra 50 hero points would be nice too, since I have purple spiderman, a red and green Ragnarok cover and the aforementioned red IM40 sitting in my cache.

I'd go with IM40, he's more versatile and much more durable. It'll take you (a lot) longer to level him up, but I think it'll be worth it.

Her purple skill is almost good enough all by itself to make her a viable team member. If her other abilities gave AP, she'd be rock solid.

The red ability could really benefit from that; as it stands, it's too expensive for what it does. The sniper shot would become pretty overpowered, though.
