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

aw, Devil Dinosaur mission now repeatable this time around.

got my ares

2 of em

he looks great at level 200 or whatever, not sure about level 8 though

Tempted to just sell the Ares cover that I got, those abilities look like balls to me.

Hell, might have to send my L40 IM35 to the scrap heap to make room for the new characters...

^^^ dilemmas I didn't miss during my hiatus from this game.

Ares is 2*, you'll have plenty of chances to grab him later

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.

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.

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

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.

I avoid using m storms black power because it screws with my perception of the shapes and I miss matches.

That is scary true

and four open spots

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.

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

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.

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.

why the fuck not

wolvie astonishing - l85 max - 5/4/4

ares - l8 - 1 green/1 yellow
bagman - l6 - 1 purple

shit, meant

daken - l40 - 5/4

not sure how much further to level him? this thread was my main reason for leveling him; he seems underpowered to me but this thread was hype about him, but now maybe that's receding?

I def shouldn't have slept on hawkeye modern, that blue blast is fierce. & not just b/c of the buff.

def need a blue/purple backup to whoever I have tanking, so tired of feeling like purple matches are a waste

daken's great early on, but his usefulness peters out once you get your wolvie maxed. he was also key in the dark avengers tourney. i'd go with obw over modern hawkeye.

is cap a legit tank when heavily levelled? or more of a solid second stringer?

wtf is with the "we powered up these characters for this tourney!" meaning that my hawkeye is normally under 1000 hit points but he has like 4k when the level loads

I've been happy when the good captain is my tank, but mine's only level 56 so he's a second stringer for me now. maybe when he's stronger he'll be a first stringer; certainly those shield throws are essential in countdown boards. he's been buffed in so many tourneys that he's been well worth the level so far though, and I end up using him on my A team a bunch in those tourneys

I've gotten sick of the PvP tourneys because I'm tired of fighting level 85 wolvie + level 85 thor in every fucking match. I'm guilty too! (well, level 81 thor right now, but same difference.) I think there's an easy solution to this: jack up the hp on some other characters, like say black widow and storm. as it is, I put others in battle & they're squashed before I get any real damage off. and it sucks to collect blue that you can't use. I'll win the battle but everyone'll end up hurt, and there ends up being no real strategy in it: just bash bash bash. which is ok! but it could be much better.

i have Cap maxed at 85; solid second-stringer for REAL FIGHTS. you need solid characters to survive while you build up your red/blue AP to get your loop on. once you do though, it's pretty nice - red ability hits for 1000+, and loop stun is extremely helpful in punching above your weight class.

Current A-team:
O. BW level 69 (maxed) 3/4/4
Astonishing Wolverine level 62 3/5/3
Mod Storm level 50 (maxed) 5/4/4

OBW with 4+ black goes very well with Wolvie. I want to replace Mod Storm with O. Storm but she's stuck at level 29 (2/2/2). I sold all my other single * characters for slots.

If I need to sell off a cover to open up a roster spot (for my 3* Magneto), I shouldn't be too attached with my 4/5 Venom (unleveled), right?

nope, trash him

is astonishing (copping a squat on a rock) wolverine good?

yeah, one of my mains. max out green for sure, and red/yellow abilities both great too.

currently sweeping up a lot of mid-20s teams in the tourneys using a classic storm/entry-level iron man combo plus whatever they give me

trying to power up my modern hawkeye, though

It's kind of startling how quickly Astonishing Wolvie goes from "meh" to indispensible

is it... astonishing?

haha, i agree. when i first got him i thought he was junk and didn't bother

damn u mh

I've been using wolvie/OBW almost exclusively. Just easy to restore HP with them, so downtime is minimal.

thanking u, mh

Daken/Wolvie is still doing really, really well for me as long as I play smart about matches; also if I'm in a mission event with NPCs those two can demolish basically anyone as long as there's a good tank to soak up incidental dmg. I plan to level OBW and Spidey nex to boost healing potential across all character combos.

I might level up moonstone for the hell of it since I'm going to hopefully have a bunch of her covers after these hulk tourneys

Moonstone seems like a dark horse weapon for the bad guy and all women tournaments

she is my james k. polk

your Napoleon of the stump

those single player missions where you can fight her at lvl 100 makes me wish you could actually level her up that far

haha no kidding

Has anyone ever beat these levels with the 240 level characters? I Won't even try.

My A team got beat by the 120-120-120 team with Ares this morning, not even gonna try anything bigger than that.

i was able to squeak by that 120/120/120 team twice - i lost at least 4 or 5 times to get luck out those two wins though, and this was maximum "stratagery" w/a lvl 110 Iron Man Model 40, lvl 85 Cap, and *sigh* useless lvl 53 Invisible Woman (required). had to rush to get IM40's recharge while Cap took the hits, hoping he wouldn't die long enough to hit his Blue stun power. At that level, Iron Man's Red Unibeam power does crazy boosted dmg (6000+) for this event

I beat the 240/240/240 today! And it forced me to bring Hulk. He was crazy upgraded though and I managed ot get quite lucky. Had my MagNow around 30 or 40, 85 Wolvie and 40ish Hulk (with like 8k HP due to the upgrades). +20% dark avengers, +20% green/black (further boosting hulk's already boosted strengths) and +3 all stock (i think). First play I managed to actually hit a few greens on a lucky combo, and I tihnk one red match, which meant I had 5 red (2 strike tiles per feral). By my third move I think I had 6-8 strike tiles out and I was doing nearly 1000 a hit. Mostly I'd try to hit more greens and blacks due to the damage and due to hulk being a HP soak... occasionally breaking to pop some purples (hitting magnow's superblue attack = crazy damage if the crit tile lands right). It was also the containment breach level which I think I used once.

I don't think Rag or Ares (my 2nd target) even used a special ability. By the time I got to Venom I was more or less 50% hulk, 50% mag, 100% wolvie... venom did crush the first two though, but for most of the match I had 12 strike tiles around 90 dmg per so I was cutting them down.

Would've been far harder with ANY other dark avenger tho I think. Esp Daken. He'd likely crowd me out on strike tiles and slice me to bits.

When I finished the match though... the hunt mission had ENDED. i thought i missed out on my points. But they were counted for the global and I think the level too! Because I hit top 100 hwne i tihkn i was supposed ot hit top 200!

i've beat the 240s a few times but found i don't need them to place where i want, so it tends not to be worth the effort.

it's sick but i kinda did it for the thrill :( this game is a problem

haha, i feel ya. but i'm still impressed you were able to beat it with such a low level team, even with the hulk buff!
