model 35's shields are decent, I'll give you that. so are the good captain's, but his cost too much

btw I saw you again, Nhex, in PvP, but I skipped you this time since your team looks like a beast

I always have buyers regret when leveling up. Can never decide should I build up new people or just keep trying to max out my A team.

I've decided to follow a threshold strategy. Basically, I am picking a cornerstone character to level to a particular plateau (at this point, lvl 60) and alternating that with leveling characters I haven't maxed on cards yet to their current ceiling, with the idea being that I'll have a front line all about the same level with a bunch of backups at a high enough level to be worth using if a front liner dies, avoiding the need to use health packs.

I am still waiting for the opportunity to level up any of my two, three, or four star cards.

taking my wolvie to max made a huge difference in my success, so I've been putting most of my iso-8 into my other a-teamers, Thor & model 40. but they cost SO much to level that I get impatient and level up b-teamers like classic storm and captain america too. I want to be ready when they buff new heroes.

I seriously adore the IM40/Wolvie combo

pop a recharge, protect the countdowns, load up on strike tiles during IM40 stun, hit Adamantium slash, boom practically any opposing character you want to target is dead

even better if you can pile up enough yellow matches to roll two Recharges at once

otm

euler: heh, i'll keep looking out for "Jex" to stomp...

poly: every time there's a lightning round or opportunity to get a Standard Recruit Token, hit it (even it's just two battles in a lightning round), you'll get a 2* card or better about 15% of the time. Through the Hulk levels and the various lightning rounds I've grabbed about 200 Standard tokens and only 20 Heroic, so your best strategy is to keep going after Standard Tokens until you can start placing in tourneys

djp: yup, that's what i'm doing with a maxed Thor, so I use the reds for him, the greens for wolvie, and yellow for recharge or thor finisher

you'll get a 2* card or better about 15% of the time.

That has not been my experience thus far.

yes, when using thor + model 40 it's tough to decide whether to hit the recharge or go for the thunder strike. I find myself doing the latter a bunch because it's so fun to bring down 2000+ damage in a hit (augmented by the bazillion wolvie strike tiles I've placed by then)

xp Of course, you'll get a ton of 1* cards before a 2* or 3* so it feels like forever. On my own 187 drops that I've tracked:

82.89% 1*
13.37% 2*
3.74% 3*

Those guys at the D3P forums' numbers are similar:

Chance of 1* 5168 83.03%
Chance of 2* 898 14.43%
Chance of 3* 158 2.54%

The Hunt repeat, new Ares card incoming. Didn't that character die in Siege?
Boosted Hulk weekend tourney, too.

this whole game takes place during Dark Reign, which happened before Siege

Thankful for this update. Sucked grinding that one double shot tournament.

xp ohhhhhhh duh. right!

Not sure if anyone actually reads these but I had a few spare moments at work and didn't feel like actually finding myself something productive to do. Is this as meaningless as posting your fantasy sports team...?

Is this as meaningless as posting your fantasy sports team...?

yup! also why everyone loves it

will m balling
do you run with moonstone much or was that an accidental levelling?

Thankful for this update. Sucked grinding that one double shot tournament.

haven't gotten a daily reward in three days now, wtf

oh dude, they changed that! see the little green thing in the right corner of the menu screen? You gotta click that. Also you apparently have to take part in at least one battle, no freebies anymore.

right, but I've been clicking each day (after many battles lol me) & it says I've already gotten the daily reward. suuuuucks

sounds like a bug

yep, no idea what to do about it. you get what you pay for, I guess

Yeah I've gotten one every day.

maybe put in a trouble ticket via the mail icon? the people on the d3 forums seem to suggest the devs are regular responders

do you run with moonstone much or was that an accidental levelling?

I use her as a sort of backup character, mostly levelled her during the all-lady tournament because my xx connection was a goddamn joke and i was kinda bored of levelling my mains.

She has much more HP than I expected, and her purple skill is kinda nice -- hits hard if there's nothing to teleport, and if there's only one thing to teleport, you can set it up to explode upon landing. Very handy when big strike/prot/etc tiles are climbing up yr butt. Her red blast is very very powerful as well (at 45 it is often doing more than 50% of lvl 85 wolv's red, assuming there are a bunch of red tiles on the board -- mix with IM40's recharge and wolvie to get red gems without click click clicking reds, and preserve the on-board reds due to the big damage boosts).

While she's not at the top of my priority list right now, I am definitely not bummed if I have to use her. My #1 focuses now are levelling OBW and MagNow (if I get more covers) but she's definitely a nice cover to have when I'm not using those two + IM40 + wolvie.

hm. i kinda disregarded her.
focusing on original widow but unsure who i go to after that... hulk? im40? magnow? hadn't thought about moonshadow

filed a mail ticket, we'll see

looking at the forums, looks like people are up in arms about a Raggie nerf.

about fucking time imo

oh thank fucking god, dude was WAAAAY overpowered

actually, now that i know we're doing the hunt for nine days, i'm gonna bump up modhawk and finally get him into the sixties.

agreed! I was jealous of people who had him powered up. not anymore!

devs say next changes will come to:

Invisible Woman (Classic)
Thor (Marvel NOW!)
Wolverine (X-Force)
Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men)
Hawkeye (Modern)
Magneto (Classic)
Spiderman (Classic)

i think they're gonna start nerfing the 2ap fighters following rag. that shit is overpowered and then some.

unsure who i go to after that... hulk? im40? magnow?
I would rate magnow and im40 above her, esp. for mag's insane purple power & im40's recharge. dunno about hulk, you can probably ignore moon for the time being if you have those guys on deck tho.

Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men)
uh oh

who else has a 2ap attack? I will cry when they nerf my wolvie's 3ap green attack though

^ otm feral claws are my jam

fully leveled spidey has a two ap blue web stun that is basically the endgame attack

oh shi

so basically: 2 blue matches = 3 turn stun

Spidey's stun stacks with more with each web tile on the board (+1 web tile placed per stun, stun 1 turn per web tile already on the board) so it gets into a pretty sick self-loop. if they up it to 4AP i think it'd be fine

i'm guessing they'll tone down the dmg on the feral claw strike tiles, at a certain point they get ridic. Ragnarok is broken as all hell so it's about time, i'm agree

getting the same bug as Euler, guess I'll email 'em

i'm still IM40. i'm tempted to go with Mags NOW! or O-Black Widow soon. i can buff some more 2/3* characters but i feel like, why bother if i can't get them to at least Lvl 85?

read: still lvling IM40 - currently at 109. i could complete him with a blue card, but i really want to get recharge to 5 cards.

lol, ares character image is just the most ludicrous looking bit of illustration

also FUCKING INVISIBLE WOMAN NEEDED

i mean in the game
not as some sort of a sex thing
never mind

hoping they make x-force Wolvie BETTER: I have three cards & I don't see the point

all the characters kinda suck at 2/2/2 and below - i can see him being a true beast at high levels

true, I just don't see the endgame with him; probably just not thinking clearly enough

someone on the forum paid to max him out and reported -- still terrible
