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

including Storm herself as a trigger SUX so they better have dropped the damage

it's a nerfing intended pretty much to force you to heal more often.

the only ways to beat her without taking damage is to chip away or stun her
or kill her with one attack
(my wolverine claws do 1325 now, plus the strike tiles, can get up into the 1500, 1600 range easy)

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)
― SHAUN (DJP), Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:18 (ten years ago) link
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.

just got taken down by a m.storm / m. black widow combo each with only ~100 hp left and both totally weak. they got my team in a loop with sting / mistress of the elements / lightning strike / hailstorm and repeat that went on for like 30 turns without me getting a hit in.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Thursday, 5 December 2013 22:12 (ten years ago) link
xp yeah, i beat it. as implied, the whole thing is just a prologue for these special mission setups like Unstable Iso-8 or The Hunt that we're seeing right now. the Ragnarok mission at the end was a bit of a pain when I did it the first time. overall the rewards aren't so great except for the Hero Points
― Nhex, Thursday, 5 December 2013 22:22 (ten years ago) link
at least they fixed it so you get those rewards faster, jfc it was bad before that update
it's still bad, but less so
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Thursday, 5 December 2013 22:44 (ten years ago) link
sorry, let me rephrase: not "beaten" the missions; i mean beaten until they don't give any special reward at all? or is that what you mean?
i HATE HATE HATE when the pvp loops come in... unless of course, i'm the one looping

forks: oh no, i've still got a bunch of rewards to get. but i'll probably never bother to finish it - even SHIELD training at least gives you a chance of 70/140 iso; getting 20 iso instead of a reward is a huge slap in the face

after the 50th time you get a 20 iso reward you'll pack it in! nah, i'll get back to it eventually too.

placed no 1 in my tourney -- tanked in a bunch of lightning rounds as suggested and i had a real nice run of it.
now my bracket is pretty rough for the thor event tho :-(
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Saturday, 7 December 2013 05:11 (ten years ago) link
all those covers still don't make my grey suit bw any good though!
can't figure out a good strategy for the thor event. all the battles seem to take down my health more than half, so i can't tear through a few teams on a single health pack.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Saturday, 7 December 2013 05:13 (ten years ago) link

Thor tourney is savage
― Euler, Saturday, 7 December 2013 13:18 (ten years ago) link
the issue is that any thor over lv 60 is gonna fuck you up if you leave him for last and if you don't take out the other two, the computer will loop special attacks. I've played four matches and am ranked 120 or so which is crazy high considering, so i think most people are sitting this one out and focussing on the story missions where the point totals for the top ten are just ludicrous

see i just got my thor to level 83 but it doesn't matter because with the buffs on this any moderately leveled thor is a beast

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 (four 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.

madness of march vault has 4 roster slots in it, it's as good as the december one.
Multiple Man feels like they didn't fully think out that character. for example the AI team can match 3 dupes and nothing happens and their turn ends.
