Most of this is old news for a lot of you but i actually learned a thing or two:
Environmental TilesThese are the tiles that aren't a solid color and have some design on them that goes with the background behind the characters.The number of AP generated by matching them is determined by the highest environmental damage - if your highest character is 4, then a 3 match gives you 12 environmental AP (EP?)Critical tiles multiply the number of tiles you receive. If your crit is 3x and your environmental number is 4, a 2 tile, 1 crit match would yield (4 + 4) * 3 = 24 environmental APThey aren't randomly chosen, in a given PvP or PvE event, the same missions or sections of the room always have the same tiles. Standard PvP, the top is the computer room, the left is the forest and the right is the cityThe max number of environmental AP you can have is 400CoversCovers are needed to raise your character's levelThe max covers you can apply to any one color of a character is 5If a character has 2 color abilities, you can max both of them out - 10 covers or 5/5If a character has 3 color abilities, you can only apply 13 covers yielding 5/5/3 or 5/4/4 in your chosen combinationOnce you find/win a cover you can use HP to increase that color or wait until you find/win moreMatchingMatching 4 or more tiles in a row/column will destroy all of the tiles in that row/columnMatching 5 or more tiles in any shape (T, L, +) will yield a critical tile and give you an extra turn
CoversCovers are needed to raise your character's levelThe max covers you can apply to any one color of a character is 5If a character has 2 color abilities, you can max both of them out - 10 covers or 5/5If a character has 3 color abilities, you can only apply 13 covers yielding 5/5/3 or 5/4/4 in your chosen combinationOnce you find/win a cover you can use HP to increase that color or wait until you find/win more

Didn't realize about the different shapes with 5 matches!
Should I continue to hammer on one mission in the vain hopes of grilling hero points, or should I move on top new missions?
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Friday, 13 December 2013 06:10 (ten years ago) link
if it's still unchecked in your rewards list for that mission, keep grinding. besides you have another 36 hrs~ to do the other set
― Nhex, Friday, 13 December 2013 07:14 (ten years ago) link
Meant prologue missions, not featured missions. :-/
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Friday, 13 December 2013 07:21 (ten years ago) link
btw that crit multiplier is really why modern Hawkeye rules so hard, get a 4 or 5 tile environmental crit in the lab and it's game over

this is such a depressing thing to do and i am actively embarrassed doing it but the only way i feel i am continuing to make progress in this godforsaken treadmill of pointless timewasting is to chronicle my SHOOPERHEWO ROSTER in excruciating detail. it is a coping mechanism.

Ha w should the cap'n be used? Just doest seem to work in most combos I've tried.
― Jeff, Friday, 13 December 2013 13:03 (ten years ago) link
Cap works best as a support character doing chip damage and pumping tiles back into other characters IMO; like, you use him to do bits of dmg and hopefully set up a cycle where his he keeps returning piles of red and blue to you so that you can fire off your big dmg characters like Thor. Also his protect ability can be a lifesaver and he has enough HP to be an emergency tank if your big guy goes down
you could probably make yourself close to invulnerable using a levelled Cap and Bullseye together
― SHAUN (DJP), Friday, 13 December 2013 14:25 (ten years ago) link
his protect ability is useful for forcing critical 5-gem combos (see also Magneto Marvel Now's blue power and Black Widow Grey Suit's green power)
cap's blue ability is great just because you can loop stuns by getting one blue match in-between activations, they'll get off one attack from that character every three turns. it's a great shutdown tool
― Nhex, Friday, 13 December 2013 15:01 (ten years ago) link
yes, that's how I use cap: pump stuns & red blasts for little cost. and his yellow protect gets so strong that regular attacks won't beat you down (those protect tiles don't help much though when a buffed Thor brings the hammer down)
― Euler, Friday, 13 December 2013 15:15 (ten years ago) link
I think maybe I've gone off the deep end; I started a spreadsheet to get a statistical sample of drop rates from Standard tokens. Please tell me somebody's already done this on the internet so I can stop myself.
― Nhex, Friday, 13 December 2013 15:55 (ten years ago) link
Does the hunt Florida keep resetting for anyone else? Not that I'm complaining, I just bang through the trivial/easy missions again for more crystal.

bless you forks
― Nhex, Friday, 13 December 2013 16:06 (ten years ago) link
The numbers are actually a little better than my gut estimates. 2* drops at 14%, 3* drops at 3%. I would've guessed worse, but after all those Modern Black Widows and Classic Hawkeyes that's all I can remember.
Amazed that nobody in that sample group got a 4* Wolverine - that was actually one of my earliest drops, though of course I never got another. Invisible Woman hasn't been out for that long.
― Nhex, Friday, 13 December 2013 16:13 (ten years ago) link
i've gotten a pair of NOW magnetos recently and that was kinda awesome
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Friday, 13 December 2013 16:14 (ten years ago) link
Btw, it's easy for them to add player motivation by just making more super hard PVP events and adding characters...
Puzzle & Dragons has this formula on lockdown, they can just copy them exactly for success. P&D even does cross-IP events every so often just to add more monsters (i.e. they just did a Batman: Arkham Origins event with Joker, Batman, Catwoman and Robin pets). They have probably about 1,000 monsters now - don't see Marvel having a problem coming up with an infinite slate of characters and events just on their own. But the bread and butter is the events that happen every single day, multiple intersecting tournaments lasting hours, days, or weeks, some for specific hours of the day, it's pretty nuts.
They haven't released sales numbers but it's hard for me to imagine this game hasn't lured a ton of whales already/isn't super profitable
Marvel NOW Magneto pretty underrated, I think - rarely see him in teams but his abilities are pretty nice
― Nhex, Friday, 13 December 2013 16:19 (ten years ago) link
what would Pizza Dog's abilities be, beyond being adorable
― SHAUN (DJP), Friday, 13 December 2013 16:19 (ten years ago) link
NOW Magneto looks a monster levelled up; as soon as i finish daken, that's where I'm going

you guys REALLY want me to read Hawkeye don't ya. well... ok fine i'll pick up this volume 1 from the corner of my room and finally read it
― Nhex, Friday, 13 December 2013 16:22 (ten years ago) link
omg dude, no lie Hawkeye is HANDS DOWN the best Marvel book right now
It's basically everything I didn't realize I wanted in a mainstream superhero comic book

obviously he swipes the red/yellow tiles off the board as he steals the pizzaxp
― mh, Friday, 13 December 2013 16:28 (ten years ago) link
it would be funny if they put in an animation when his HP hits zero where, instead of greying out like the other characters, he runs off with Kate Hawkeye
― SHAUN (DJP), Friday, 13 December 2013 16:29 (ten years ago) link
Pizza Dog turns all red and yellow tiles on the board into pizza, eating them and regaining 29 health per tile. He eats the tiles so completely that they do not generate AP.

Looking at that workbook again, just noticed they had extra sheets for the other types of tokens, nice. Sad LOL at Hunt Heroic tokens with Thor 44.5% drop rate.

Daily deal is 100HP for a Heroic token. Still feels like a waste, but I don't really need any more roster spots at 28, so it's kinda tempting...
