I am enjoying the BIG tournament but then again I have a 25-30ish moonstone, 50ish daken and 15 ragnarok (puled last night from a standard pull, stooooked -- just wish it wasn't green). good enough t beat people lvl 1 yelenas and bullseyes anyway.

The only Dark Avenger I have on my phone team is a lvl 27 Daken
I'm currently ranked #49 in the Bad Is Good tournament; if no one on the opposing team is over lvl 20, I can solo them and usually end up with full health
This character is ridiculously OP in some ways.

I'm thinking that I should maybe start over because I'm still at a sufficiently low level and am pretty sure I spent some Hero Points on things other than roster slots.
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Monday, 9 December 2013 17:38 (ten years ago) link
i wouldn't worry about it; they give out those coins with solid regularity. any of the 1 and 2 star guys aren't hard to find in game within the story missions so if you temporarily lose, say, black widow or hawkeye or either storm or juggernaut or yelena or venom, they're easy to get again when you have the space later.

I've spent about 300 hero points on covers, and one of those tries paid off big time (wolvie x force) so
I'm not hoarding characters so I don't care so much about roster spots.
WANT PUNISHER btw

playing bad tourney is a pain with two dakens; each match takes more than twice as long and is rigorously boring. hard to find pvp players who aren't using him.

still lolling that I am managing to hang around the mid 40s of my bad tourney with a solo Daken
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 17:49 (ten years ago) link
I just started playing this and my understanding is pretty weak. The coins in-game are the freemium bit of it but you still earn them occasionally and need them to level up (unless you get another cover), the purple crystals let you power up within a level, and apparently you only get a certain number of roster slots?
The only really confusing bit so far has been where I've played a level a couple times and obviously defeated every enemy, had no losses, and there's still not a checkmark on that location. Is there a list of goals for every level somewhere so that I can "complete" them?
― mh, Monday, 9 December 2013 17:51 (ten years ago) link
click on the missions, they will usually say something like "1/4 rewards" or something like that with a flashing icon in the lower right corner showing which of the objective rewards you've gotten
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 17:52 (ten years ago) link
also don't use coins to level, use them to buy roster spots
right. and you don't need to get all the rewards for the Prologue missions, just beating it once is enough to unlock the next set of levels. but you'll eventually want to go back and grab those rewards, ya know, because OCD.
DJP, take that Daken all the way!!
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link
props to dan for convincing me daken was worthwhile; ahma level that fucker all the way up next methinks

surprised nobody's started an MPQ wiki yet. With P&D there's like three wikis out there with all stats, i'm sure this is coming soon with stat charts and what not for every character

I am really shocked by how much of a bad-ass modern Hawkeye is in The Hunt
if he has Avoid and Blast Arrow, you can basically use him to destroy all three characters at once
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:09 (ten years ago) link
hm. i'm at 5/4/3; maybe i need to level him higher
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:17 (ten years ago) link
i have a purple cover but was holding out for the fifth red attack... am i doing it backward?
it's hard to want to use any red attack but thor's when he gets 2k damage from two red matches
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:18 (ten years ago) link
Hawkeye is ridiculously boosted in The Hunt, it's pretty awesomeAvoid (Purple) kinda sucks. I lvled it up to 5 without thinking, feel like it's kind of a waste.Thanks for those links, will check out soon.Savage Land reset, but you knew this.

in normal circumstances, Thor > modern Hawkeye in The Hunt, a modern Hawkeye with 4 red can hit every opposing character for something like 2700 dmg each in one attack if you successfully protect his countdown tileright now I'm targeting a 5/5/3 build for him
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:28 (ten years ago) link
oh, that red hits ALL enemies? yeah, that changes things.i guess i'll shift my levelling from daken to mod hawk up to 20 or so and then go back and forth.
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:29 (ten years ago) link
Sitting in or near the top 10 in bad is good since the onset, nobody seems to want to mess with my bottom-feeder rag, mid-level moonstone and 51 daken.
i like these actually-restricted missions more than the "buff" missions, means people actually have to try new people -- all i have learned so far is that i need more rag covers to make him useful & i dunno if moonstone will ever be good
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:34 (ten years ago) link
Yelena looked completely useless until I fought her with modern Hawkeye and she kept fucking up his countdowns; now I want to level her specifically to neutralize anyone using modern Hawkeye in PVP (baghead Spidey has a similar usage with his counter increaser and I think regular Spidey can also fuck with countdowns?)
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:36 (ten years ago) link
they really need to fix environmental effects so they scale.100 hp for +5 ap is a game changing no-brainer, 50hp bonus for hot dogs is some bullshit.
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:40 (ten years ago) link
Moonstone's Gravity Warp ability is pretty good, (make a 4/5 match with special tile swap or get a free critical hit), the others i'm iffy on. Haven't leveled her past 15-ish though.
lol yes Hot Dogs for 50hp
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 19:49 (ten years ago) link
I look at that map is a neutral environment tile - hot dog isn't very useful and it takes forever to get that Narrow Alleyways super special or whatever it's called
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 19:50 (ten years ago) link
oh man I hate the hot dog board so much
OTOH the board with the free critical tiles is my jam
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:50 (ten years ago) link
loled irl re: 50hp hot dogs
nominate "50hp bonus for hot dogs is some bullshit." for ILG board description
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:51 (ten years ago) link
that change everything to red special is crazy good.
now that there's nobody boosted in the tourney, i'm having to train myself out of making env tile matches as much, since without the boosts they're not as important (for the critical skill especially)

lol hate this so much when playing against him, took me forever to figure out to save him for last and then unload with saved-up specials.
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Monday, 9 December 2013 20:18 (ten years ago) link
"took me forever and people smarter than me pointing delineating the strategy," rather.
i tend to hammer on him first b/c i hate his strike tile skill, but maybe that's a bad idea
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Monday, 9 December 2013 20:20 (ten years ago) link
also he's the one overleveled guy on many teams so after i take him down its all mopup

i'm at 9 on my ladder but man i gotta skip a lotta heavy hitters. 38 daken, 28 rag, 20 bullseye
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 20:30 (ten years ago) link
bullseye's adamantium bones ability is a (super-annoying) counterpoint to daken's pheromone ability so i usually go after him first. i can deal with daken, because it usually gives you priority on the pheromone pop, so often i'll get 2 and he'll get... less than 2? because all of the red tiles are accupado
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 20:45 (ten years ago) link
haha, "accupado" i am so tired
having a bullseye with no purple powers is very aggravating

The Hunt all-nighter? xxxp
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Monday, 9 December 2013 20:47 (ten years ago) link
I'm underpowered and focusing mainly on the PvE missions, but hitting him in the early rounds is kind of inefficient because of his healing. If I leave him alone (or at least until I have enough AP saved to finish him in one turn), I can avoid all the counterattack/healing nonsense.
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Monday, 9 December 2013 21:17 (ten years ago) link
if you see an opportunity to starve him out via killing yellows, he basically kills himself pretty quickly too. used that against a stronger daken recently (sacrificing my own daken in the process, somewhat) and it was pretty easy. won't always work though, especially if you get lots of isolated yellows around the bottom of the board
only a strategy ot use if the board is already close to good for it
