And I will still rep for Cap, I think once you average out his Red ability, it's pretty high (and repeatable!) damage, but maybe I'm stanning for him because I've got him at L46.

there are a bunch of characters that are great that no one ever played because of the Rag/Thor/AstWolvie/CStorm/OBW shadow IMO (modHawk is still way better than ppl think, esp if matched up with dmg sponges and/or IM40)

I have no IM40 :(

I am slowly getting more modern hawkeye, though!

had a couple really nice plays with dd in the tourney too. he's so hit-and-miss but taking out a lvl 90 spidey with one match or grabbing 5ap each because you anticipated the AI is really satisfying. can't see him entering my regular rotation though.

i can see the devs slowly making the game better for slow-build characters like IM40, Cap, Modern Hawkeye, etc. Or alternatively, nerfing the fast characters, like they've already done with Thorverine and such

still terrified of DD, if he gets up a trap it's like nooooooo

I've actually been decent at predicting where the trap gets laid, though I usually avoid all of that trap's colors in general (at least when I remember to).

So, squeezed a quick game in this morning and discovered that I got three whole Moonstone covers. Grrr, LET THE MAGNETO NERFING BEGIN.

OTOH, perhaps now I will have room and opportunity to add the Moonchild to my roster (four covers sitting in my queue).

NERF MAGNETO.

I got a blue OWB cover yesterday! now have her at 4-3-5. what's the consensus on the best build for her?

OBW I mean, not Occupy West Baltimore

my ogbw is at 3/5/5 and I wouldn't have her any other way honestly.

3/5/5 on the reasoning that her purple is optimized between cost and stealing at 3, and that the more she has in blue and black, the better.

AKA wait for the respec.

sung to the tune of "on to the next one"

I went 5-5-3 because I wanted to steal an entire rainbow of colors

I would agree, or go 5/3/5. I went 4/5/4 and wish I'd stuck at 3 for Black (for more damage) or Purple (to facilitate steal looping).

that is, gone to 5 for Black or Purple

magnow 5/5/3 buffed plus ogbw with a 3/5/5 is a crazy unstoppable team.
purple for magnow creates a blue attack and ogbw heals with blue, so any purple or blue match basically leads to healing.
tank with thor in the front and you can match red/yellow/green for offensive + blue/purple for defense
I'm ending most of my matches in this magnet round with full health. At #4 on my leaderboard but easily jumping up to #1 whenever i want.
I am at 84 on ogbw and was gonna work on all the villains levels and hulk but methinks magnow is the next dude to heavy level and work into rotation

yeah 4 blue covers on OBW is boring, but 5 could be good; otoh I think 5-3-5 would be good.

had a battle with bagman this morning & he did his dumb snarky remark attack on his teammate Big Pun's red timer, lol. did it TWICE even.

lol maybe the bag slipped over his eyes.

5 vs 3 in obw purp is if you want cheap early steal or brutal midgame steal. 4 is no good either way.

3/5/5 is how i run with mine, and that works fine. i mainly care about steal not to build brutal ap for myself but just for denial.

Nhex, your post in the Trek thread made me think that we're overdue for a Dazzler card.

haha noooooooo

damn, i want that now

Dazzler didn't do anything in Dark Reign, did she? Pixie and Trance had higher profiles in that story than she did.

btw a Pixie card would rule:

Disorient (purple): Pixie blows dust in the opponent's face, either stunning them for 1 turn or making them attack their own team while losing a turn
Teleport (black): swaps 5 green tiles with blue tiles, causing X dmg per tile
Flight (blue passive): Pixie flies out of danger if there are more than 8 blue tiles on the board

If they could figure out a Rogue card that could absorb an enemy's ability and use it for a turn or two, that would also be boss (and probably OP)

Actually, Rogue's card could have 2 passives and an active, which stuns the enemy character and steals their ability set for 2 turns

i'm glad i'm not the only fanfic card maker
here's my watcher

Eternal - (Purple passive) - If Watcher is the only surviving party member, he deals on burst level equivalent damage to all members of the opposing party, winning the battle if he clears all opposition. If this does not end the battle, Watcher retreats, ending the battle in a loss.

Omnipotence - (Blue - 3 match) - Shows the most effective and damaging match (including cascade damage) for two/three/four/five/six rounds

Inaction - (Black) - Blocks opposing team from using any special attacks for two turns (eight match) / two turns (six match) / three turns (six match) / three turns (four match) / four turns (four match)

plus his attacks take 1.25 ap but do no damage.

i wanted a character that has no offensive capabilities but some killer defensive options and makes you have to decide if you wanna give up the roster space

(maybe Rogue is a 2-ability card, with a passive and the power steal)

I've mused about a Rouge card, too! Maybe her passive would be to match the color and damage amount of an opponent's highest tile attack.

Her power steal would probably have to be a countdown to keep her from being OP.

yeah that's what I was thinking (re: countdown)

Jeez, Palining it up: Rogue.

haha the more I think about a Rogue card, the more I think that card would just become defacto necessary; like I don't think there's a way to nerf Rogue's power set and still not have her break the game (unless the abilities she steals get scaled down to her level)

otoh I want a Rogue card so I can steal Devil Dinosaur's bite ability, because lol

Xorn would have a couple of you-know-who's abilities plus a heal.

omnipotence is a bomb idea.

Ugh, I just maxed my Thor because I didn't know what else to do. I might as well max all 2 starred cards now.

That's a problem I'd like to have.

that devil dino match in the simulator is super hard; I just won it with my l~50 spidey pumping blue + yellow, but baaarely; fuckin dino just chomped chomped chomped & chomped again, eating me all up. w/o heal I don't think it would have been doable

I HATE that my next simulator reward would be a patch card, b/c it's at 50000 pts & I'm just over 25000. can I get 24000 pts in 18 hrs? dammmmmmmit

Ha, I stopped caring after I got to 50k and the patch card.

So if you get a cover in a color that you've already maxed to 5, there's nothing you can do with it but sell it, right?

Yes.

Could you start a new copy of that character?

If you wanted, but there's really no point if you already have a maxed-out one. You can't play both in the same match, I guess if you were very very rich in ISO you could build 2 dudes up as alternate builds & have twice as many battles w/ him (since one can heal while theo ther fights)

that said, putting 3 wolvies or 3 thors together can get you quick and dirty hero points once sold (if i understood forks correctly anyway... still havent been able to do it myself)

respec is coming soon so alt builds to replace badly built chars aren't really the way to go.

sitting at #1 in simulator at the moment. sure i'm gonna grab my three psy covers now, but might not end up with IW, but then who cares.

grabbed my 500 rewards in mags tourney, don't care about rewards either way there. when the events wind down i feel a sigh of relief.

Getting Hero Points for selling Thor and Wolvie is over.

I am #20 in my simulator pool -- will likely get 2 Psylocke covers.

How many points do you have? I'm at 52k and I'm only in 223.

173k-ish (whoops, fell to 3)

top in my bracket has 177k, #10 at 144k, so yeah i think i'm in for the 3 covers for sure at least.
