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
― Euler, Friday, 10 January 2014 21:26 (ten years ago) link
so basically: 2 blue matches = 3 turn stun
― this harmless group of nerds and the women that love them (forksclovetofu), Friday, 10 January 2014 21:27 (ten years ago) link
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?
― Nhex, Friday, 10 January 2014 21:37 (ten years ago) link
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
― this harmless group of nerds and the women that love them (forksclovetofu), Friday, 10 January 2014 21:46 (ten years ago) link
also FUCKING INVISIBLE WOMAN NEEDED
i mean in the gamenot as some sort of a sex thingnever mind
hoping they make x-force Wolvie BETTER: I have three cards & I don't see the point
― Euler, Friday, 10 January 2014 21:47 (ten years ago) link
all the characters kinda suck at 2/2/2 and below - i can see him being a true beast at high levels
― Nhex, Friday, 10 January 2014 21:56 (ten years ago) link
true, I just don't see the endgame with him; probably just not thinking clearly enough
― Euler, Friday, 10 January 2014 22:00 (ten years ago) link
someone on the forum paid to max him out and reported -- still terrible
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Friday, 10 January 2014 22:08 (ten years ago) link
looking at the forum, the one big plus I see with him over 2 star Wolvie is his hp total at max: almost 10,000!
― Euler, Friday, 10 January 2014 22:10 (ten years ago) link
got my 5th blue spiderman. really enjoying his stun while it lasts.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Saturday, 11 January 2014 04:35 (ten years ago) link
Fellows, when the PvP events are your only ( reliable ) source of HP, did you just try to chip away at the 50 HP reward level until you got your 2* and 3* characters leveled up? Because the amount of angst I had from trying to stay in the 100 HP tier is kind of unbearable.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Saturday, 11 January 2014 19:15 (ten years ago) link
Are you using HP to upgrade your characters? I'm just stockpiling it for roster slots, still, and now for shields at the end of a tourney.
― Nhex, Saturday, 11 January 2014 22:06 (ten years ago) link
seriously, never use that shit for anything but cover slots
― this harmless group of nerds and the women that love them (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 11 January 2014 23:17 (ten years ago) link
not completely in agreement with that (my 25th spot hosting a bagman l6 is not so valuable) but yeah, that's mostly right, esp. as they introduce new characters
― Euler, Saturday, 11 January 2014 23:20 (ten years ago) link
no daily reward again, btw, grr
otoh: I am finally beginning to appreciate hawkeye modern, via the hunt; that blue attack is almost unfair
― Euler, Saturday, 11 January 2014 23:21 (ten years ago) link
ARGH touched the wrong button in my rewards list, accidentally upgraded my Spider-Man Classic to 4 Purple. goddamnit.
― Nhex, Sunday, 12 January 2014 00:32 (ten years ago) link
his purple isn't bad too really. its just the blue is killer. amazing the difference between 4ap and 2ap for it.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Sunday, 12 January 2014 01:11 (ten years ago) link
No, I'm definitely not using HP for anything except for roster slots. Still, despairing as hell trying to scrounge around for it (I'd been trying to grind my way to 1000 SHIELD points in Versus to get that 100 HP reward, only to face the proverbial 2 steps forward, 1 step back situation).
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Sunday, 12 January 2014 01:22 (ten years ago) link
don't sweat it too much. at a certain point you'll have powerful enough characters that you'll place midway through weekly tourneys and get HP all the time. you should be able to pick up a bunch from the story mission rewards that come up, like The Hunt right now, as well. just don't get rid of any 3* or better cards, everything else you'll get plenty of opportunities to get again.
― Nhex, Sunday, 12 January 2014 02:16 (ten years ago) link
Well you convinced me.
Spent a couple of my heroic tokens, now I have a 4* Wolverine, and a C Magneto on deck.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Sunday, 12 January 2014 18:45 (ten years ago) link
Tempted to sell Wolverine BTW for that delicious 50 HP.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Sunday, 12 January 2014 18:46 (ten years ago) link
Also, the Hunt is convincing me to put some effort into Cap, because one you get enough red or blue AP, those abilities are do some nice damage or stun, PS you recoup most of the AP.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Sunday, 12 January 2014 19:17 (ten years ago) link
stop trying to give me a juggernaut, game. not gonna happen
I kind of think that having one of every damn character is not necessary. kind of thinking I'm going to purge some of my 1-star ones as I get more options
― mh, Sunday, 12 January 2014 19:18 (ten years ago) link
aw, Devil Dinosaur mission now repeatable this time around.

2 of em
he looks great at level 200 or whatever, not sure about level 8 though
― Euler, Sunday, 12 January 2014 21:38 (ten years ago) link
Tempted to just sell the Ares cover that I got, those abilities look like balls to me.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Sunday, 12 January 2014 22:13 (ten years ago) link
Hell, might have to send my L40 IM35 to the scrap heap to make room for the new characters...
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Sunday, 12 January 2014 22:27 (ten years ago) link
^^^ dilemmas I didn't miss during my hiatus from this game.
Ares is 2*, you'll have plenty of chances to grab him later
― Nhex, Sunday, 12 January 2014 23:07 (ten years ago) link
So I maxed out my first character, astonishing wolvie. Wondering where I should focus next. Next tier is Thor 61, Original BW 50, classic storm 41, Modern BW 40, IM35 33, Modern Storm 32, Daken 31.
― Jeff, Sunday, 12 January 2014 23:14 (ten years ago) link
Thor is the usual next choice, though they'll probably reduce his power sometime soon they say. OBW + wolvie is mighty (if you have at least 4 black). After that I'd do either modern storm or daken.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Sunday, 12 January 2014 23:30 (ten years ago) link
i would say wait to see how the Thor nerf shakes out, but since you've already gone all the way up to 61 with him you might as well finish him off while he's still great
― Nhex, Sunday, 12 January 2014 23:48 (ten years ago) link
Personally I truck hard with M Storm, once you get enough green to activate her power, it almost sets up a self-sustaining juggernaut of board-clearing destruction. AND, if you have 5 black, then each turn giving you another 150+ damage is so so sweet.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Monday, 13 January 2014 02:35 (ten years ago) link
I avoid using m storms black power because it screws with my perception of the shapes and I miss matches.
― Jeff, Monday, 13 January 2014 03:33 (ten years ago) link

building mod hawk through this hunt tourney; hoping i can get him up to lv 70 and will then get back to Orig BW.i don't know why i can't get an invisible woman. is it my breath?playing this notably less; i have 25 medpacks. there was a time they would've all been burnt. they need a new tourney more than new covers at this point; starting to feel a bit stale.
― this harmless group of nerds and the women that love them (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 January 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
seems to me like making new tourneys would be super easy compared to the work with developing and balancing a new character; we'll have to wait until the weekend to see, but i'm guessing it'll be a week AFTER this version of The Hunt ends that we'll see a new set of tourneys/story missions
do you still bother using Daken? i have him up to 55, not sure i want to bring him up to 69. same thing with my modern hawkeye, stalled him at 45, don't have the stomach to take him to 85. Classic Spidey's getting most of my ISO at this point
― Nhex, Monday, 13 January 2014 17:57 (ten years ago) link
yeah, i've mostly skipped daken now except as a backup character if thor is ailing. i'm seeing the benefit of modhawk, especially in this tourney. If i could get a few more spiderman covers i would absolutely use him.
― this harmless group of nerds and the women that love them (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 January 2014 18:06 (ten years ago) link
daken/wolverine/thor is good for the midrange game; i'm wanting to take the next step and I'm pretty sure that's a blue/purple offensive/defensive to go with thor's red/yellow and wolverine's green. for now, that's modhawk, after this tourney it will be og black widow and if ANY covers come in i'd certainly like to cycle in spidey.
