well let's be real about it, there's no way 2-star Wolvie/2-star Thor should unambiguously be the best possible combo to use in the game, like at that point why even have 3- or 4-star characters unless they're like FORCE FIELD DOOM - 40 Green: Invisible Woman casts a force field and the targeted character is deleted from the opponent's roster?

oh I get that, but it was soooooo much fuuuuuuuuuun
― Euler, Wednesday, 5 February 2014 18:01 (ten years ago) link
the Daken/Wolvie combo was seriously hilarious because you easily flood the board with strike tiles, massively boosting all of your already-considerable damage, while having two characters who would heal every round as long as you kept enough yellow on the board

i found a fun run with magnow/obw/daken lately that works well if you have some boosts.Magnow's purple leads to a run of blues which can either clear the board or heal so you can mix that with green strike attack tiles and occasional purple obw steals and cycle for awhile. not super effective but fun to play!

i have been using magnow (53) and obw (85) as often as possible together, usually with a third of whoever-they-make-me-bring (or IM40 lvl 89 if I get to pick). the magnow purple + obw is just overpowered. plus if you have im40, then there's the yellow power, meaning purple, yellow and blue matches all = blue matches (which can either be heals or, if your team's healthy, im40's kill-everyone attack).

lol FEAR ME(i wish you guys used the same names in MPQ, what were they?)
i'm sure OBW is gonna get a nerf at some point, she's in a huge portion of the teams I'm seeing. healing is one thing, but then you factor in the extremely good and loopable AP steal, you team her up with someone like Storm or Spider-Man who has a good blue ability, even my team has trouble killing a single Lvl 85 OBW.
they're gonna nerf spider-man's blue power too i'm sure, that shit is too good. i'm actually hesitant in boosting his Blue power (have extra cards from the last Wolvie tourney - JELLY, FORKS?) since i'm afraid they're gonna nerf it. i can either go 5/4/4 or 5/3/5
― Nhex, Wednesday, 5 February 2014 20:32 (ten years ago) link
obw's best enemy is obw, just like spidey and spidey. you can use your espionage to keep them from getting enough up for a heal or a steal. and if they get off a heal, that's almost ok, because you've built up lots of colors while they just built up enough to heal themselves, and then they just burned it.
i just don't fight mstorm in swamp because those she's too good at picking up env tiles. anywhere else she's ok.

Latest update seems to have dropped the difficulty some on heroic mode. I'm getting several trivials now.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 5 February 2014 21:40 (ten years ago) link
Now all I get are wolvie and thor cards.
just got an IW drop from my daily reward heroic token
― Euler, Thursday, 6 February 2014 01:29 (ten years ago) link
xp Jeff, same, the only outrageous mission is the final mission (which I couldn't get to before), as it used to be... grind time before the tourney ends. But there's not that much motivation - if you're in the top 50 you get one Daredevil card, higher ranks just get your more iso/HP.
― Nhex, Thursday, 6 February 2014 04:14 (ten years ago) link
Two heroic cards this morning and two thors jaskldfjklasdjkfljaskld asdjfklasdf I just want some more 3 stars.
― Jeff, Thursday, 6 February 2014 14:54 (ten years ago) link
Forks, you should definitely be getting in on this Wolvie tourney right now - your 85 Ast. Wolvie/85 Thor/OBW or whatever filler is good enough to get you some Spidey cards from this
― Nhex, Thursday, 6 February 2014 17:15 (ten years ago) link
yep, thanks. I'm ranked 55 in my bracket... but WORK is interfering, bah

huh, I will try it too, then. my spidey is 1/3/1
― Euler, Thursday, 6 February 2014 17:31 (ten years ago) link
I will take your Thors (Wolvies too).
― eeeLastica (Leee), Thursday, 6 February 2014 17:32 (ten years ago) link
I've started buying heroic tokens when they go on sale for 100 HP. Got an Invisible Woman yesterday. I've also been getting Thors/Wolvies up to level 13 then selling them for 100 HP while that offer is available.
― zanarkand bozo (abanana), Thursday, 6 February 2014 18:04 (ten years ago) link
hm, that would run about 1000hp though, right?i have made dual respecs for both thor and wolvie but beginning to realize unless i want to totally relevel them up to 85, it's not gonna be worth it.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 6 February 2014 18:08 (ten years ago) link
Finally got a *** from a heroic token, patch. Now I just need about 6 more if them to make it where I'll want to throw any ISO at home.
― Jeff, Thursday, 6 February 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link
I've never used a shield. So if I got up into place 2 to 5 and used a shield to cover the rest of the tournament, would I be guaranteed the spidey cards?
― Jeff, Thursday, 6 February 2014 18:14 (ten years ago) link
It only guarantees that you don't lose points when someone plays and beats you, I believe. People can still leapfrog you, obviously. Caveat: I've never used shields.
― eeeLastica (Leee), Thursday, 6 February 2014 18:21 (ten years ago) link
yeah, people can outscore you and everything can be pushed forward. and the instant you play again, the shield drops.i hate the whole shield thing, very lame imo
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 6 February 2014 18:22 (ten years ago) link
i like it, because it means at least for the last hour or 15 minutes of a tourney (in some cases, i've done it at 5 minutes) i don't have to freak out when i'm getting hit for huge points at the end. you can never really guarantee a #1 spot, but it's guaranteed me Top 5/10/15. like i said before, this is a mostly viable strategy if you can grind your way to get the HP reward on the ladder, and then you'll get some HP for a high tourney spot, so you still come out profitable

er, sorry I meant that would run about 1000iso
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 6 February 2014 20:31 (ten years ago) link
what's the minimum number of covers needed to pull this dirty trick?! how did i not realize that thorvie were sellnig for hp...?
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Thursday, 6 February 2014 20:58 (ten years ago) link
I think it's 3 covers.
― zanarkand bozo (abanana), Thursday, 6 February 2014 21:05 (ten years ago) link
don't do it man, you'll miss that 1000+ iso
― Nhex, Thursday, 6 February 2014 21:06 (ten years ago) link
then again, how much iso+hp do you get for selling them at LVL 13 right now?
― Nhex, Thursday, 6 February 2014 21:22 (ten years ago) link
I have 22k ISO and 4 Thor covers. Worth it?
― Jeff, Thursday, 6 February 2014 21:24 (ten years ago) link
600-odd ISO, 100 HP
― zanarkand bozo (abanana), Thursday, 6 February 2014 21:24 (ten years ago) link
hmm. so to do this, you're spending about ~1000 iso, and giving up the 375 iso you'd get from just selling the 3 covers.. so it's a ~700 spend to get 100HP. not bad but i'm too hungry for iso to do this
― Nhex, Thursday, 6 February 2014 21:26 (ten years ago) link
just got a BW gray suit from a standard token! good couple of days

green!

So I slid down to top 45 in that last tourney, got a yellow The Hood cover. Do I even want him?
― eeeLastica (Leee), Friday, 7 February 2014 04:49 (ten years ago) link
his AP steal ability is superbeast; the other powers are situational/tile based
― Nhex, Friday, 7 February 2014 05:13 (ten years ago) link
hood/obw teams sound real fun to play with. his black is ok on some teams i guess. his yellow is hella expensive.

― Jeff, Friday, 7 February 2014 18:09 (ten years ago) link
my guess is that they had terrible opt-in on the last elite thing so they're trying this to see if it was due to prizes or not. if we keep not-joining these maybe they'll actually make it cheap.
