naw, you're describing the game before you fully level a 2 star character really

more to the point, before you get 4+ covers for a 2-star character

it's ok - just trying to help you game their system a bit. there are a lot of tricks
if you keep playing in tourneys and losing (or just retreating from matches), you start getting matched up with fake opponents, with names like "KicksThatKick" or "HAIGAYZDOOM" and these teams will have preset enemy levels, usually something like 10/1/1 or 25/30/20. easy pickings, surprisingly forgiving system. and of course don't forget to SKIP SKIP SKIP

agreed, the game can be tough until you get at least one good 2* character that's like 4/2/2

Hmm. I suppose I can put my life on hold for a bit longer then. Thanks.

"no really man, just keep smoking. you'll feel it in a second"

heh

OTM

"Elite Agents" lol wtf

if they start dancing and waving their hands in the air to cheer us on, i'm cool with that

who is gonna take one for the team and try this?

I mean, the whole "you could when 10K hero points" would be enticing were it not for my experiences with every single tournament they've released so far and how it is seemingly impossible to end at #1 without forgoing any and all sleep

300 hero points?

depends what the return is. I'd spend them if I had them, only have 150 now. have a lot of roster spots & wouldn't be averse to dumping my dumb belena yelova or bagman

Avengers Elite training tournament!
300 HP entry, guaranteed heroic token result.
First place: 10000 HP!, 2000 ISO, 3 x Heroic token
2-3: 5000 HP, 2000 ISO, 3 x heroic
4-10: 2500 HP, 2000 ISO, 3x heroic
11-30: 1000 HP, 2000 ISO, 3x heroic
31-100: 500 HP, 2000 ISO, 3x heroic
101-200: 100 HP, 2000 ISO, 3x heroic
201-400: 50 HP, 2000 ISO, 3x heroic

there are at least 500 players out there more hardcore than me and i've played every day for 100 days. i know the extent of my ubernerd status thank you much.

I mean, a top 100 finish would be worth it but there's no fucking way I'd get it given my current roster level

wait so if you end up < 400 you get nothing?

no, it keeps declining all the way down. you're guaranteed at least a heroic draw but so what?

you still get stuff. 400-1k: heroic x3, 1k-3k heroic x2, 3k-4k heroic x1, everyone else heroic x1 (with some varying iso-8 from 2k to 500 in there too but who cares tbh when it costs 300 hp)

oh shit, yeah, that's awful

forums are not pleased

rich get richer I guess

the funny thing abt "ONLY USE HP FOR COVER SLOTS" tho is that like... after you get a certain number of cover slots... why bother? like are you really gonna keep using that lvl 20 original hawkeye dawg?

shields are pretty cool imo

probably could jettison the one stars at this point tbh

i mean im only spending hp on cover slots full stop b/c OCD collect collect collect but i recognize the kinda absurd pointlessness of it (pointless even relative to, say, playing this game in the first place)

willm: i'm on that pokemon ish in that i'm not gonna be happy unless i have a full roster. besides, they have a habit of buffing obscure characters regularly and it's good to have them in reserve just in case. and anyway, there's gonna be new characters rolled out weekly at least for this thing so unless you wanna ultimately go sophie's choice, i want the option to shelf all my guys.

but yeah the key word is pointless here

probably could jettison the one stars at this point tbh

this is why they should bring back the "1-star only" tournament

definitely on the pokeymans tip, want space for EVERYONE
considering how poorly I generally do in lightning rounds this seems like a bad idea but...
300HP is the standard cost for 1 Heroic Token anyway
Top 2000 guarantees 2 Tokens + 2000 iso. eh, still kind of bad deal

probably could jettison the one stars at this point tbh

I just sold my IM35 and Juggernaut (both L40) this weekend, but can't bear yet to part with M Storm or MBW, too many fond memories with those two.

Also, pretty done with PVP (I mean, till the next one) when all my hard work in the Army of One event netted me all of one Patch cover (I got as high as the mid-20s before the big backslide).

need one green cover to complete my patch. after that maybe i'll try to just stop playing this game for a while.

whoa, you're already filled up on Patch? nice

damn u scotland yard

how is that possible? :O

I'm patchless.

no patch here either grrr

Only 2 green Patches, woe is me.

3*s are tough to get but obtainable, it's the 4*s that are ridiculous

i'm impressed you filled up patch; you must've been grinding these past few days
still #1 on scotland yard, hoping i can hang on

i got 2/2/2 in the ares tourney. then ground a few in the last few events & then took top 5 in big pun round one. now i only need to hit top 45 or so in pun round 2, and i can basically ignore the subevents except if i care about early access to daredevil.

currently sitting at 4/3/5 with two reds in the inventory but i want a 5/3/5 build i think.

We haven't really talked about it, but I really dig the Daredevil concept, with hidden trap tiles the opponent can't see. Looks like a great counterpick to Blue characters.

What level is your Punisher, s.clover?

one hint for scotland yard: you can beat most of the non-dark avengers ones by going in with well leveled magnow/thor/wolverine and a blue buff. Mags blue attack clears the entire board and the purple gives you the blue attack, so you can start to cycle and pick them apart, even the 230 level guys

yeah i was rolling obw with by 2/3/2 magnow, plus wolvie -- the first two actually would win it for me (spend purple with mag to get crits & give blue, spend blue to delay countdowns indefinitely) and wolvie was just there to make it go faster (damage).

Want magneto covers more than any other cover in the game

any magneto

just

COME ON

game really needs actual player interaction like cover-trading

that and/or a respec feature, where you spend a certain amount of ISO or hero points to split a character back into component covers so you can rebuild without having to delete all your progress and start collecting covers from scratch

like if I want to switch my Astonishing Wolvie from 5/4/4 to 5/3/5, I could split him down to components and then put him back together as lvl 6 5/3/4 and start leveling/collecting from there

that is the most brutally punitive respec method ever, i truly hope they don't make it that harsh sohuld they implement a respec

maybe you can peel off covers one by one, and you only lose up to whatever the max lvl you could get to without the cover you removed?
