I'm now convinced that the top progression rewards are just Demiurge trolls. Five to ten thousand points gets you X-force Wolverines in the Unstable ISO-8 event. with roughly 100-150 points every two days, there are about 600-900 points in the event, without grinding the 2-4 point fights. Grinding 4000 points at an average of 3 pts per fight would take ~70 hours of straight play, assuming 5 minute fights (and never losing)...

Check out the PvP rewards. They lower x-force wolverine to 1400 points down from 2000+ but I have never seen a score higher than maybe 1050. They are bring him as close to the max possible points, but keeping the prize out of reach.

It feels good to finally start having a decent team (forget yelena and her retarded 19 purple ap skill)



Edit: wolverine is such a low level because I normally save level up for healing and he heals himself.

I still can't figure out how everyone is leveling their guys, are you just dumping massive amounts of money pulling cards and then using hero points to level the skills?

I did spend $10 on the game as a support of the work. That did get me 4 Thor covers but that was back when you needed 50. I managed to get every Thor cover before the balance so he became a 3/3/2 afterwards. Then I got every Thor after the balance. The rest was rewards and tokens.

Hero points are best spent on room for more heroes. That way you can just randomly collect heroes until you get A lucky streak and get a few of their covers rapidly. Which is what happened with my wolverine there.

Anyone else cringe when you get a spectacular cascade against an unconscious enemy? :ohdear:

"THOR! THOR STOP HITTING HIM! HE'S ALREADY DEAD!"

It gets really bad with my wolverine combo. The +100-200 just makes it worse. Thor hits for 1100 damage then 200 then 300 then 200 again. Thor stop he only had 86 health left to begin with.

I am attached to Daken cuz he's like Baby Wolverine in the story.

Also, when did Wolverine have a son? I never knew this guy existed before this game. Also, what's up with Bagmen?

According to the game description, its Spider-Man after he lost his suit and the fantastic 4 picked him up. He is wearing Richard's suit and put a bag on his head to keep up his secret identity. I don't know how the bag stays on or how he using his spider silk cartridges, but the hero sucks so I sell him.

And I think Daken is nothing more than a comic book nerd saying " What if there was someone that had all of wolverines powers but was evil". Same with all he dark avengers really, that kinda why this story is pretty terrible so far.

So, does the Facebook sharing gifts thing scale based on how many friends you have? I've added myself to the list and added a bunch of people, then I got a reward for myself +25 friends. It was only a hawkeye cover, but still I've only had it show up with +2/3 before.

Also, it turns out I'm terrible at match three games, but it's still kind of addictive. Are there any characters that are just straight up bad that I should always sell to make space? Tempted to collect them all, doubt I'd ever have enough space though.

Bagman seems pretty terrible. Not sure if I'm missing good synergy with certain teams or anything like that.

I have only gotten the share 25 on hawkeye covers. I think it just because he is so useless.

No I think bagman is just awful, but he is likely going to get a 200% boost next tournament.

So im in the venom and juggernaut campaigns. Hitting impossible missions against dark avenger black widow and other level 20 dudes. My main team is iron man, modern storm, and black widow, level 10ish with 2 or 3 in most skills. Suggestions? I want to get you the point where classic storm or thor will drop.

Maybe do the red ISO missions. They have really great rewards. A captain America or 3 might really help you out.

A couple of new missions popped up in Unstable ISO today. I hope that keeps going, I need about 30 more points for Cap Red (my next to last before maxing him out) and while I know that that sweet Spider-Man Blue is out of reach, the Hero Points reward should be reasonably easy.

I Actually like the writing for these missions. Stupidly campy stuff like "dark avenger ho!". Also I got 2 captains America blues and a purple Spider-Man.

Yeah, this game would be awful without the constant events and stuff. It feels like they're trying to follow the entirety of the PAD model.

Well this company also does the marvel Facebook game. It was always doing events. The problem was you always needed the newest hero to be able to get all the rewards. And you have to spend red ISO to do missions. The way to get red ISO was to have friends gift it to you or spend money.

They went too fast for me. If you didn't finish the mission in a week, then you didn't get the newest hero, so then you need to spend money in order to be the next week's mission.

They're throwing in extra currency when you buy stuff in the cash shop, too. I've been pretty happy with this, might toss them some cash.

I would recommend buy more slots until you got at least 20 slots. Rolling for more heroes is tempting and I wasted my money on it. But if you don't have slot then you just end up selling heroes. I have be getting heroic tokens pretty regularly but I have unfortunately had to sell some 2 stars heroes because I don't got room.

Yes and no. It is the cheapest team wide stun. But it cost 7 ap cost to level 4 costing 4ap. That means it is almost half as slow to make webs. 8 webs and 12 black ap means you instant win. So slower your web rate is generally bad.

I'm keeping my 2 iron man model 40 cover separate for right now. If it isn't easy to get more in the next events, then I'm selling both off for 50 total hero points. If I can get 2+ more covers in the next 2 weeks the I will combine them for a decent hero

Does juggernaut's unstoppable clash scale with strike tiles? He might be a really good combo with daken. 6 green ap makes something like 40-50 extra damage. That multiplied by 16 is 640-800 damage not including whatever juggernaut does naturally. My level 50 Thor does 663 damage with 6 red ap. That is pretty comparable.

I need 3 more blue and 2 more red for a max cover Captain America. The problem all my ISO is going towards thor (lvl63), then storm (37), then wolverine (31), then hopefully someone with purple/dark , and finally then the captain.


Speaking of Wolverine that dude is a power house. His red does slightly more damage than thor's yellow at cost of not making green tiles. His healing ability is great. At 5 yellow might do as much as 150-200 hp a turn at max level. But his green ability is his bread and butter. 3 ap to deal damage and make red strike tiles. At level 31 his tiles make 33 strength strike tiles and deals 106 damage.

I save up enough ap to deal 2 thor red abilities and 2-3 wolverine green abilites. Wolverine deals 106 damage and makes 3 tiles. Wolverine deals 205 damage and make 3 tiles. Thor deals 1000+ damage and then make yellow tiles at 200+ damage a match. Then Thor does it again but with more yellow matches. Then I normally have enough yellow ap for a 2000+ thor ability. I normally take out 2-3 guys for 12 red ap and 6 green ap. And I normally run +6 red ap and +3 green ap bonuses for battles.


Edit: Also I want to say thanks for the ISO this morning. I woke up with an extra 5,000 iso :stare:

Its not too bad. 5/5/3 is still really good. You still get the heal quite often. And the red skill is really really good, it is just that thor's red ability is slightly more helpful.

And that is only because with 2 red matches and some bonuses thor and lay down 2 smack downs and get enough yellow ap to finish someone off.

I started this last one with an hour and 11 minutes remaining and pretty much babysat it the whole time and barely sneaked into 44th place for the sweet double hero tokens.

I'd blame this specific one on the fact that everyone is home from work/school and kicking back at this point of the night, and I think maybe only the Doom lightning rounds offer 2x hero tokens? I may be blind and misread it, but I could have sworn the rewards screen for the Loki rounds show the top 50 as only a single token.

Edit: Yup looks like a solitary heroic Loki token pull for your 50% Loki needs.

Yeah it was rough. And it seems doctor doom tournaments give better rewards.

Edit: I'm a little worried that all this pvp is power leveling me and then next chapter will be too easy or they will have to make it way to difficult :ohdear:

I've been liking this game, but I think the high-level pvp is a lot less fun than low-level pvp. At high levels, the skills become so powerful that nearly every match is just a question of who gets their skills up first and then sweeps the other team. Since you're smarter than the AI, you can usually pull it off, but sometimes you'll get unlucky and then there's pretty much nothing you can do.

I'd also hate to be just starting the game now! It's pretty much designed around the rich getting richer...

That said, the core game is still fun and I'm looking forward to the next episode!

I use +3 yellow and red ap and +3 all ap every PvP match. That way I got the lead on ap and can destroy enemy team 4-5 times before having to heal.

Oh you guys buy my Thor like 4-5 levels a day :allears:

He is up to level 77 and I hope to max him in 2 days or so. Then I think I will focus on wolverine. Storm classic is nice but people just target her for PVP first. I think having high level Thor and wolverine tag team people while they desperately try to kill storm will be better than a high level storm dying a turn or 2 later.

Oh man Thor just keeps getting better. At level 77 :

Hp:4680
Red 46
Yellow 41
Green 36

Red ability deals: 1050 damage
Yellow ability deals 2100 damage


I think raising one hero at a time is better than a balanced team. It takes about 3-4 levels to even get more damage on abilities. With 12 red ap and 6 yellow Thor can take out most teams.

He doesn't seem to be as good as Model 35 as far as I can tell, unless you pair him with Wolverine/Juggernaut or someone else with a good red special.

He might do well in a Thor wolverine team as 5/5/1. With +3 ap all and+ 3 red and yellow ap you can start the match with his recharge ability. 3 turns later you can have as much as 15 red ap. wolverine pops a rage or 2 for 3-6 strike tiles. Thor kills whatever with 2-3 hammerings. Then you might have enough yellow for some Thor lightning.
