new thor is even more fearsome than old thor on defense i think, because once a single yellow gets loose its all over. meanwhile i could take down red w/o much trouble.
patches/obw/spidey was pretty awesome. But when I don't have all three together it doesn't really come together. not sure if i have a better team for this tourney tho...

you gotta focus fire OBW quick (blue matches) while taking thor's yellow at the same time, since that it makes very easy green for him

my DD is only lvl 18 (2 cards) so i'm just hoping I can get 1 Doom out of this tourney. wish there was another PvE going on right now
― Nhex, Sunday, 9 February 2014 01:55 (ten years ago) link
denying blue, red, yellow, purple all at once and also trying to do damage is really hard, it turns out.
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 9 February 2014 01:59 (ten years ago) link
I love OBW, she's been my best leveling choice. I'll going to straight up quit when she's nerfed.
― Jeff, Sunday, 9 February 2014 02:00 (ten years ago) link
i've fallen back to daken and thor again and that works fairly well. just keep matching green until the lower level is near killed (generally obw, sometimes wolverine) then use thor's green to kill one, bang up 2 and mostly merk rival daredevil. By then thor's other attacks are generally near good to go and it's an easy cleanup.

Got my first Spider-Man cover -- yay! Purple -- meh!

The fact that I pretty easily got up to the top 15(?) last night in the PVP after probably < 2 hours of playing before eventually sliding down means I lucked out with my bracket, or my Thor/OBW + 1 squad is rounding out beautifully, or all the real players have lost interest in this game.

I've run into a million lvl 100+ Patches, Punishers, Spideys, Black Widows etc. so believe it, they're out there

Looking for opponent in SHIELD Versus: Daken/Wolverine/OBW. SKIP!
― eeeLastica (Leee), Sunday, 9 February 2014 05:59 (ten years ago) link
Did some back-of-the-envelope math and figured that with my current roster composition, the Heroic tokens would result in a cover for a character I already had about 75% of the time... and the first pull was an IM40, which is nice, but now I have two new 3* covers and no open roster spots. Oops.
― eeeLastica (Leee), Sunday, 9 February 2014 19:20 (ten years ago) link
ok thought of a new combo -- obw/doom/patches. i think this could be pretty brutal.
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 9 February 2014 20:20 (ten years ago) link
OBW/Doom sounds good because he can use her Espionage to grab more black tiles fast, but you're kinda giving up his Blue ability that converts Blue > Black, if you want to keep OBW fed for healing. Patch is good to pick up the remaining Red/Green.
― Nhex, Sunday, 9 February 2014 20:27 (ten years ago) link
I wonder how scary a high-level Daredevil is. Even at low levels, I'm terrified of those traps
― Nhex, Monday, 10 February 2014 00:18 (ten years ago) link
OBW/Patch/Bullseye works pretty well for me. Bullseye's black ability is so powerful with strike tiles on the board that it usually ends the match. Shame it costs so much.

How many covers do you wait to accumulate for a single 3* character before yall start pumping ISO into a them?
― eeeLastica (Leee), Monday, 10 February 2014 17:53 (ten years ago) link
if you really have the patience, you might as well wait until they're capable of hitting 85, since until that point you'll have better 2* guys to use. but i never do, so i waste a lot of iso on these things like having a lvl 45 hulk or 70 punisher. these boosted tourneys are always a good reason to level them up
― Nhex, Monday, 10 February 2014 17:56 (ten years ago) link
thought this was interesting:http://thinkgaming.com/app-sales-data/4302/marvel-puzzle-quest-dark-reign/so they're making 12k a day in the us alone
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Monday, 10 February 2014 20:14 (ten years ago) link
i'm skeptical - unless there's an article out there where they actually admitted their revenue numbers, this looks like pure projection
― Nhex, Monday, 10 February 2014 20:53 (ten years ago) link
for all i know they could be making even more, but this stuff is generally kept secret until they're making insanobucks
― Nhex, Monday, 10 February 2014 20:54 (ten years ago) link
yeah, you're probably right
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Monday, 10 February 2014 21:22 (ten years ago) link
New tourney, new card. Psylocke! Looks like a combo of OBW and Punisher.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 11 February 2014 17:50 (ten years ago) link
That's too bad, Punisher looks kind of like a deformed Nosferatu in the in-game art, at least she'll have OBW's silly mask on.
― eeeLectrelane (Leee), Tuesday, 11 February 2014 17:51 (ten years ago) link
is this the 80s/90s psylocke or is there an updated version of her i am unfamiliar with? feels like they are pulling marvel characxters out of a hat...
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Tuesday, 11 February 2014 17:53 (ten years ago) link
she hasn't really changed since the '90s

that's the asian psylocke

kind of hilarious that they pulled in Psylocke and not Emma Frost

Didn't realize there was a non-Asian Psylocke? I mean, aside from the Betsy Braddock origin stuff?

Also, ISO tax averted! ^_^
As a summary of what this will look like with R48: - The Victory Bonus begins at +30 Iso for a win - The bonus lowers by 10 Iso per Skip - The bonus disappears at 0, then caps out at -10 Iso per skip after additional skips - The bonus returns to +30 Iso after the match is completed, win or lose - The Victory Bonus is only gained if the Agent is successful in their matchup
