Me, finally getting the 50 HP reward, which I needed to give me a total of 150, from a Prologue mission that pretty much requires me to boost myself up the gills: Yay! New roster space!

MPQ: Expand your roster to 13! Only 200 HP!

Me: *cries*

Top 5 In the avengers tourney. Was 1 but some dorks beat me. Anyway, got 3 punishers, so I can do those missions where he is req.

Steam says I've put 59 hours into this. No characters at level 40 yet.

Is there any way to find out where you finished in a completed event?

Like number specific? Dont think so. It ends by telling you that you were "in the top 100"

DJP are you djptsad?

I am either djperry1973 or Maggott, depending on the device

Thanks forks, I was curious to know just how close I was to falling out of the top 20 in the NML event.

seems like the made the Hulk missions a little tougher this time around. getting smoked in the Black Widow tourney

Seriously I've been smoked by hulk (specifically hulk) a couple of times now, v frustrating!

Any tips on good ways of powering up higher level characters? I have a four-star level 30 Invisible Woman but no idea how to get another card so I can give her powers. She makes for a decent tank but she has only one power, which takes forever to activate (and isn't very helpful). Given that I refuse to spend even $1 on this game, is there any hope?

Finish first in PVP tournaments?

That seems unlikely to occur.

I haven't spent a dime on this, but countless hours of my time, which actually now that I think about it was probably an awful trade, even on my salary. But anyway! I've placed #1 once or twice - lots of grinding, some luck involved in getting a "weaker" bracket. Once you get one or two characters into the LVL 70s and above it becomes somewhat doable. Through some tourneys and some lucky draws I actually have my Invisible Woman boosted to 4 cards - all that crappy green power :/

How long do you keep your one-star heroes before you get rid of them?

why would you get rid of them? there are often tourneys and such. I've had no problem getting additional cover space; don't ever EVER spend coins on anything but that and you should have plenty of roster room even if you're not paying anything.

xp Never. You can always use them as fodder when you need a warm body

don't ever EVER spend coins on anything but that

I only figured this out after making a few bad early decisions :(

BUT. Note that in my research I've gotten 80% rates for 1* drops in Standard Recruit tokens. You can easily get 3-10 a day from these tourneys, so feel free to sell off any of your 1*s when you get fresh ones.

(assuming you haven't pumped ISO into those cards, obv)

Considering I just finished at 20 for the NML tourney with my lousy roster, coupled with the fact that serious players seem to be down on IW, I wouldn't put winning a tourney beyond reach.

That's assumimg you're willing to play this virtually nonstop for two straight days, of course.

I'm doing this Black Widow tournament now, and I must say that BW Original is great. Once I get a small stockpile up, I can prevent the other team from playing.

yeah, she is boss

My ISO needs have vastly outstripped my desire for card upgrades; anyone else in that boat?

yes but I'm so bored of boring card drops

& of my level / cover maxed Wolvie getting slain in one turn by Hulk

keep hope alive; I got a Doom off a Heroic Token and an Iron Man Model 40 off a Standard(!) this morning

bummed that my beaucoup powered up tokens have scored me a bunch of Wolvie and Cap covers, both of whom I've longed maxed

this hulk tourney is a beast

... plus five open spaces and t-minus 125 coins to get a sixth. So at this point i've level maxed seven characters and cover maxed 15, leaving me missing covers for 15 characters (about 110 or so potential power boosts), along with two characters that I've still yet to pull: xforce wolverine and invisible woman.

I figure my next step will be to level up the guys i'd like to use when i pull more covers to their current max: ragnarok (to 38), punisher (to 28) and hulk (to 51). the last of those will obviously take the longest; from there, i guess i work on magnow or classic storm to get them up to max unless i pull enough spidey/ragnarok covers to start fielding them.

hulk tourney feels like it's been going on forever and i've been reengaging with demons souls (of all things) as an alternative to this endless click-click. i wonder when i'll finally burn out on this?

ah and that's a 5/4/4 wolverine there; he's done.

Using Original Black Widow and Modern Storm with maxed green, I managed to take down two Impossible-rated teams in one of the Hulk stages. Wow.

I've been afraid of using OBW because she doesn't have MBW's stun -- are you using her passive / AP stealing abilities to make up for that?

The add +4 to th countdowns is pretty sweet.

xforce wolvie on a heroic pull
also added a punisher and a hood through regular pulls
what's a man gotta do to get some spidey covers

I've been afraid of using OBW because she doesn't have MBW's stun -- are you using her passive / AP stealing abilities to make up for that?

Yeah -- let them have their turn, then steal their AP.

the espionage steal + damage bonus can be really good - i won't be surprised if it gets nerfed

xforce wolvie on a heroic pull
also had this abt 3h ago, from the heroic in the hulk pack, iiiiiinteresting

got one yesterday, leveled him up to 50!

you can do that with two covers?

is yelena any good?

3 covers, 1 red & 2 yellows

got it.

i've never seen anyone use yelena to any great effect yet; she's the one character I've not put a level in.

I immediately sell all yelanas.

I had one, started playing a bit, sold her to free up space. Now I keep getting more recruit tokens!

Ok, what about dark avengers venom?

AFAICT Venom is a damage sponge who can really hurt you if his damage is buffed but is otherwise ignorable

I should probably just sell all my recruit tokens right now

there is some glitch where the last mission on the Venom quest against Yelena and two maggia goons is saying it's "easy" which is completely friggin wrong for me

to the extent where the two 27 level goons can kill my characters in two shots :/

lol I eventually learned not to pay attention to the difficulty descriptions on the mission page.

How I got through those Yelena missions is to make sure to have MBW and M Storm, then match green and blue like a fiend to Lightning Attack/Stun them if I can't manually get rid of the countdown tiles.
