nah you don't really need him. his boosted dmg is good but I usually end up using Thor for the tough missions
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:57 (ten years ago) link
that said, you probably have his abilities maxed out so why not
I've also been surprisingly successful with Thor + modHawk/Daken + baghead Spidey
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:02 (ten years ago) link
i've been riding with thor/daken/juggernaut but it occurs to me that dooms black ability + daken's buff + thor's offense might equal profit
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:08 (ten years ago) link
thor + modhawk is all you really need. the third really doesn't get to do anything. i use an iron40 or something just to soak up some damage.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:10 (ten years ago) link
hm. don't really have the iso to level modhawk past 20 and he's not that great at that low level
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:11 (ten years ago) link
and doom WOULD be great if his black attack didn't take 12 ap. i generally win before he's half full.
pretty sure that doom's black won't stack with daken's tile. otherwise daken + modern storm would be disgusting.
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:22 (ten years ago) link
i think maybe the daken strike tiles stack once per all the fists hitting?
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:45 (ten years ago) link
i'll attempt to test this at some point... that would be not bad but i imagine it wouldn't be as otherworldly as one might hope (or rather, it'd be dwarfed by all of the insane-o damage you're already doing)
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:54 (ten years ago) link
neat, they do stack. not super helpful tho because A) if you're using daken the way i use him at least, nearly all of your red tiles are already non-basic from pheromone; secondly, with only two of doom's tiles (right now anyway, i assume he makes more as you level his skill) they disappear right quick. daken's come so quick and so often that there are always a couple on the board i find.
makes modern storm/wolverine with max hailstorm and max green on wolverine seem incredibly interesting tho :O
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 23:10 (ten years ago) link
doom's black ability alters red tiles, not black ones, weirdly enough
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 23:31 (ten years ago) link
prob so as to not clash with daken i guess
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 23:36 (ten years ago) link
guess I'd better start working on Daken (though fuck that animation forever)
― Euler, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:35 (ten years ago) link
I have a modern storm with max hailstorm & I'm poised in the Hunt to have 4 green on Wolvie; stoked about that combo too
my main team now is Thor l58 (4-4-5), model 40 l57 (4-1-2), & astonishing Wolvie l49 (2-4-4)
can't stress enough how Wolvie's heal is the business
― Euler, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:39 (ten years ago) link
Is it just me, or do different characters have different amounts of time to resurrect? Maybe it's based on * level, definitely not on character level, but it seems like lower rarity characters recover faster. I'm talking about after death - once they reach the "HP heal" phase it just goes by HP total. Unless I'm imagining things.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 05:50 (ten years ago) link
no you're right. i'm finding it's much smarter to use your first aid to heal the high level guys than to wait. first aid takes a half hour. thor takes six.
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 06:23 (ten years ago) link
by first aid, do you mean health packs? trying to see if there's some other way to heal. I have like 40 health packs right now (I know, I know, I guess I don't play enough?)
― Euler, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 14:18 (ten years ago) link
It's too bad that the timeline is set during the Dark Avengers story, otherwise I'd write the developers and ask them if they'd consider a mission branch involving Pizza Dog

there's no way to sync progress between devices, right?
― mh, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 14:37 (ten years ago) link
I don't think so? I see that as a plus though as I can test a grouping on one device and see if I like it or not without screwing up my bracket position on the other
― SHAUN (DJP), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 14:39 (ten years ago) link
I'd like syncing. And some goddamn retina graphics on the iPad.

Might have mentioned this but this is a huge reason I roll out Daken and Wolvie so often -- even now at level 50ish if they're 50% hurt they're still only an hour to heal. (plus i can heal them in easy venom prologue matches by just hitting for low damage and healing).
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 16:20 (ten years ago) link
they SORTA did retina graphics for the pad... just not the playing area strangely enough.

Yeah, I've been spamming this mission when I haven't felt like waiting in the 1.5-2 hour window I have to play this crack game on weeknights.

we call that "Stage 1"
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 22:09 (ten years ago) link
there are lots of things happening. i feel like the game is yelling at me. something about the punisher? and then assembling the dark avengers?
― adam, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 22:12 (ten years ago) link
Biggest thing holding me back right now is the lack of hero points. There just aren't enough to get all the covers that I need.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 22:24 (ten years ago) link
adam, just keep playing the early levels until you can beat some more levels, then keep beating those multiple times.

oh yeah lightning rounds. what on earth was i thinking, leaving my phone away from me for an hour.

i tank in all lightning rounds now. win one, then play with weak characters and resign right away. can't tell but i think it helps get me weaker opponents in the serious tourneys.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Wednesday, 11 December 2013 05:48 (ten years ago) link
i've never gotten above 200th place in a lightning round - competition's too brutal. any success?
― Nhex, Wednesday, 11 December 2013 06:01 (ten years ago) link
actually, i think the trick is that you play any round - whether you win/lose - with scrub characters, you get matched with other scrub teams and then you can kick their ass when you retaliate. so it's best to start out with your weakest teams and steadily use your stronger ones only if you have to
― Nhex, Wednesday, 11 December 2013 06:14 (ten years ago) link
then again, this doesn't always work either
― Nhex, Wednesday, 11 December 2013 06:15 (ten years ago) link
Grr!! I had time for a handful of games tonight so I tried for some covers and hero points. Guess what i was rewarded with instead.
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Wednesday, 11 December 2013 06:40 (ten years ago) link
Otoh, I did stage a 1 vs. 2 bad guy battle in which I came from behind top win with an unleveled Dark Hawk that had no use for AP.

Hmm. I got 2 extra red Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men cards) from the Bad is Good tourney. My Wolvie is currently 5/3/2 (G/R/Y). Seems like the Yellow (Healing Factor) ability is the best one to have, Green is maxed out (Feral Claw). Should I listen to my gut and sell off the two Red cards I have and hope I'll draw three Yellows in the future? Or is just foolishness... is the Red ability worth leveling up to 5?
