lol I'm playing two separate teams on my phone and my iPad; IIRC my phone Daken is around lvl 27 and my iPad Daken is around 37? 38?
anyway once you cross lvl 20, he starts having enough stamina to weather enough attacks for you be able to stick him in the back to heal when he gets low, but then for every green match that happens he throws two pretty powerful strike tiles out there for every free red with no upper limit AFAICT, meaning that your main attack guy suddenly starts hitting everything like massive sledgehammer after 2-3 turns with a good board full of green. then add in Thor who has one power that fills in green tiles and one power that fills in yellow tiles and Daken is basically indestructible unless your tank gets taken out or someone can one-shot him

I don't like using Daken because of his annoying animations on green match. it fucks with the click click click pleasure. if in tennis, during a nice series of volleys, the ball would stop in mid air occasionally, and the player would do a triple back flip and shout. "ta da!", then resume the volleying...that would be annoying. that's Daken

btw can I say X-Force Wolverine is surprisingly powerful even with only one power at lvl 1? utility-wise he is kind of unversatile but he packs a surprising punch and is a good "I'll use him to mop up while I wait for my A-line to heal" character
I'm also surprised at how much more useful bagman Spidey is becoming, although he's not as good in PVP as I want him to be

I am generally rocking Daken lvl 50ish + Wolverine Classic lvl 50 + the tournament special character (and if he's not available, lvl 40 jug, or lvl 40 thor).
Wolv + Daken is just sickening, each green matchup boosting dmg + every 6 green doing dmg AND boosting dmg... basically if I can survive the first few rounds (which I usually can if I swap between my "tank" jug/supplied character and the wolfy twins) I'm doing 300, 400 damage per crappy 3-match and tearing through dudes (with the occasional wolv slash red attack thing for insult).
Added bonus: if the twins are taknig damage, stick them in the back, let the supplied char take damage, hit for whatever crap damage + INSANO BONUS DAMAGE, twins heal
Double added bonus: instead of using health packs on daken/wolverine, enter an easy prologue fight, do low damage but let them heal to nearly 100%, tada! faster than waiting for them to heal regularly & more economical than burning health packs (and since you don't have to burn health packs on supplied characters, i can basically fight every 5m with no health packs used as much as my heart desires)

major change to classic storm just took effect today from:Raging Tempest - Yellow Passive(PASSIVE) Any time a teammate takes > 20% of their health in direct damage, Storm invokes a wall of elements. It damages the enemy team for 125 and generates 4 Red AP.to:(PASSIVE) Storm surrounds her team with a whirling tempest that unleashes fury when provoked. If a team member is damaged for 20% of their max health, it deals (x) damage to all enemies. If every team member is below 50% health, damage increases to (about 6.67x).
this is pretty important in that1) storm HERSELF being hit triggers tempest which means the only ways to beat her without taking damage is to chip away or stun her2) no more red ap bonus3) though it's not clear by the above, it's apparently notably less damage for each tempest hit than it used to be
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:00 (ten years ago) link

definitely feels weaker. i was wondering what happened to that ability. i assume this will cut down on the storm counterattack ping-pong, which usually resulted in insta-kill for one member
Spider-man classic's purple ability was basically changed to a weaker version of Bulleye's, which is nice, because it was useless without the other ability to create Web tiles
― Nhex, Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:17 (ten years ago) link
lol I said modern when I meant classic, glad you knew what I meant
I ran into that in a PVP battle and got pwned massively but it was so funny I didn't mind that much
(I promptly stopped using classic Storm as an A-lister as a result but it's still good comedy, ping-ponging Tempests until a Storm dies)

my juggernaut/iron man 53/thor team does pretty well if i ALWAYS start them with a red/yellow boost in iron man 53 pvp. one red match lets thor do a 950pt hit which kills the weakest support member, i can generally match two or three yellows in the next four rounds to get off a 1500pt hit and then we're down to killing the opponents 53 who really can't put together an offensive without LOTS of time or a bunch of those yellow recharge specials... which is where juggernaut's green screen clearing charge comes in handy. also, with all three packing plenty of hp, i can get away with about six or seven fights without healing and maybe 20 or more before i run out of first aid packs.

The new developers are absolutely on fire as far as the characters they’ve been rolling out. I’ve just been rolling through PVE with Wong, Clea, and 5trange (helps that Wong and Clea are boosted) and it’s been absolute carnage. Half the time, Wong starts the match with beefy strikes or protects on the board that he then buffs if anyone has the Kamar-Taj support equipped, and then you chase yellow and keep casting Wing’s yellow to put more strikes/protects on the board (with the auto buff) while any power fired from the enemy gets double-hit by passives from Clea and 5trange. If anyone gets enough AP to cast a dangerous power, you can switch them to the front and cast Clea’s blue on them, effectively shutting them down for the rest of the fight. Also, with Kamar-Taj equipped, the first cast of Wong’s yellow only costs 4 AP, and subsequent casts immediately resolve the cooldown so you can spam a ludicrous number of strikes/protects if you can get enough yellow AP

You can merge a maxed champ with a maxed level character, no need to champ the second one (in fact, it’s only to your advantage to max champ the first merge, it’s diminishing returns for the subsequent merges for 1-3 stars; the forums were awash in math trying to figure out the optimal strategy)

MPQ has one or two other "Exodia"-style instant-win conditions (I think Doc Ock 5* has one?) but this one seems more attainable, let alone the ongoing buffs you get from Dupes. Also if you able to trigger Dupes using team self-damage, cause that would be nuts...
― Nhex, Tuesday, 26 December 2023 22:39 (five months ago) link
I will need to check this to be sure but I think you can create dupes with self-damage, which is bananas.
There’s an almost instant win team floating out there of Jamie, 4* Captain Marvel, and Agent Coulson. Start with +2 boosted in all colors, then place dupes on all colors on your first turn, which triggers Coulson’s passive that spawns countdowns when an ally fires a power, then on the next turn when they all resolve three do escalating damage because of Carol’s passive that buffs SAP tiles on countdown expiration, plus Coulson generates more AP for each countdown, so likely 1-2 enemies are dead by the time everything clears, Jamie’s dupe SAP tiles have been buffed to monstrous levels, and you have enough AP to place more dupes to trigger more countdowns and buffing. It’s not very fast due to the animations but you can kill almost anyone within 3-4 turns.
