I think Hawkeye is pretty useful for the story missions against spies and thugs and stuff. Both his abilities are useful for taking out timed attack tiles.

It's really wacky how random the AI is. The AI will usually match four over an obvious match five and free turn. Sometimes you get ridiculous things though like when Storm's board shuffle ability yielded enough greens and free turns to let the AI use the ability five times in a row giving the AI 35+ of every color and stunning my entire team. (I still won due to a major level disparity, but it was incredibly close)

This exact thing happened to me just now, except I lost. The enemy team took out my Storm and Venom from full hp in 1 turn, then chain stunned my Iron Man for more than 15 turns...

I'm starting to rethink Daken. I've been coming up against him in the Dark Avengers chapter and each of his strike tiles adds 30 damage, and you get one per combo. That really started to add up quickly. Still, he's at a ridiculous level and I'd have to get tons of daken cards to be that effective.

I like Daken, but you can only level his abilities up to 5 before you start needing to pay coins.

My pool of 200 people is really tough. Basically everyone has level 20+ iron man.

e: Come on, it happened again. I had a full HP Storm, Venom, and 400 HP Iron Man up against 200 HP each Black Widow and Storm. Black Widow started a combo that lasted over 1 minute (I know because my phone screen turns off after 1 minute) which led to all 3 of my team being stunned for several turns, and I died without being able to do any more damage at all.

I was at 498 points, so I did a fight worth 14 so I could get my sweet 100 hero coins or whatever. After I finished the fight, it said I had lost 13 points during it, so I'm now sitting at 499 with 3 minutes left and the servers seem down. :gonk:

That's the way I understand it, too. Also, there seems to be 1 shot to get grandfathered overpowered characters. They're changing it so each ability has 5 levels, but you can only ever get 13 upgrade points. But right now you can upgrade 3 different abilities to level 16 each, which will get bumped up to level 5 once the patch hits.

I noticed the second one myself with the Dr. Doom boss fight in the HAMMER chapter. Two rewards, 50 Hero Points each, and I cannot get the second reward no matter what I do. If it was 50% chance for the reward, 50% chance of ISO-8, I'd be fine with that, since it means I will get it sooner or later, but considering how many times I've played the drat thing, either I've got a streak of bad luck to make Vegas blush or something is amiss.

I played this same fight about 25 times before I got the last hero points reward.

Yeah this update seems like a semi-nerf to iron man. He main strength was not being terrible and having tons of comic books. Now I have almost as much Thor comic books as I do iron man. I'm have been phasing out my ironman for daken.

Getting a 6 strength tile each green match adds up fast.

Daken's cool. I had his strike tile ability up to level 6 before the update, so now it's sitting at 3 and I just found an Oscorop mission that I didn't do yet which has two more covers for that ability, meaning I'll have it maxed out pretty soon! At level 4 it adds two strike tiles per green match. Don't know what level 5 does yet.

I was wrong here, it's actually level 5 where you get 2 strike tiles. I think level 4 was probably just a damage increase or something. But anyway, I have it leveled up to 5 now and it's sick. Every time anyone makes a green match, I get 2 strike tiles that are each +14 damage, and I think I've only raised his character level twice. After a couple green matches with a decent team, every turn I'm hitting for 100+ damage basically no matter what I match.

:aaa: Daken and the 2 star Wolverine have such fun synergy. Every time I match green tiles I get two 16 damage strike tiles, and every 2 green matches I get to cast Wolverine's strike tile ability as well. I just matched three 4 damage tiles and did like 180 damage.

I beat all the missions on the first try and ended up with only 160 points, but I saw the leaders had 180. Turns out one of the missions with level 70 guys disappears and is replaced with a mission with level 90 guys once you beat it. I can't beat the level 90 guys, though. My guys can all tank 1 level 70 flamethrower hit, but a level 90 flamethrower 1 shots everyone I use except Iron Man.

Hahaha yes! I killed the level 90 pyros without taking any damage. Level 31 Thor you beautiful bastard. It was only after the fight I realized that it is purely a rank fight. It only gives 4 iso and you can repeat it forever. It is meant for whales trying to get a high rank.

Yeah, my characters are powerful enough to do it if I get a decent amount of luck, but if I take any damage at all I've lost.

I found the best way to kill Bullseye is with mass nukes, like Iron Man's blue skill. There's really no way to damage him through regular matching once he has a couple purple Protects on the board.

I figured out how to use a memory editor to cheat. I healed one of my guys about 100 hp in a fight and gave myself 50 iso 8 just to see if it works, but I don't understand why anyone would actually cheat at a game like this. Seems like it would take all the fun out of it.

Daken is barely OK. His strike tiles don't end up doing too much as direct damage and board manipulation are so much better than just "adds damage to a match".

I think you just need to level Daken up a bit. Mine is level 38 with the strike tile ability maxed, and it's strange if I don't have 80+ bonus damage on the board at any point. It's common for me to have 150-200 bonus damage on every single attack, which is basically like having a low level direct damage ability fire every turn.

I don't like your odds, it's been progressively getting harder - I'm not even bothering to attempt the 2 Villain + 150 guy, I didn't attempt the repeatable stuff yesterday either. It seems they decided that the repeatable minion only missions were too easy since you could back out with no damage taken if things didn't go your way and you had a timer with 1 turn left and no way out.

Maybe they decided they're too easy since people were beating them almost 1000 times

Does anyone know if it's possible to use something like Titanium Backup to save your progress, then start over with the intention of going back to your original game?
