what's the best 1 star team i can pull off? I35, mstorm, hawkeye in the swamp? or swap hawkeye for mbw?
― eric banana (s.clover), Friday, 21 February 2014 22:59 (ten years ago) link
if i had them all maxed i'd go I35, M.Storm, and a tank like Juggernaut or Venom that uses the other colors, alternatively Bullseye
― Nhex, Friday, 21 February 2014 23:02 (ten years ago) link
on defense, i guess storm venom juggs is probably the best.
― eric banana (s.clover), Friday, 21 February 2014 23:12 (ten years ago) link
Iron Man/Storm with 5 green/Black Widow was what I used. Storm generates colors and black widow stuns with them, repeat as necessary. Iron Man for red/yellow damage, or you can replace him with Juggernaut who might scare off attackers (red attack being very annoying).

Think of leveling magneto marvel now. His purple is awesome.

I am destroying the missions without Dark Avengers in ISO-8 event using AstWolvie, OBW (both max) and a lvl 28 Punisher. Molotov Cocktail has gone from being useless to ridiculously amazing, especially if you can roll three of them in succession
― sent as gassed to onto rt dominance (DJP), Monday, 24 February 2014 02:23 (ten years ago) link
magnow is a very good sub for obw with spidey it turns out. his red and blue are barely ever useful tho.
its back to 230s all the way in iso-8. i'm locked in for 3rd place in the 1star tourney at least, so 3 more psy coming my way. in the pve i'm hanging onto #8 by a thread. i'd love to pull 3 black panthers but given that i may have to actually accomplish quite a bit of actual things this week, not sure if i can pull it off.
― eric banana (s.clover), Monday, 24 February 2014 03:07 (ten years ago) link
check back in 20 mins before tourney close, i've been passed up down to 6ths. unshield, 3 quick fights and i'm at 4th, but with 3 unshielded people below me all on the move. one more fight, i shield again and now i'm unintentionally sitting at first.
no game this stupid should be this exciting.
― eric banana (s.clover), Monday, 24 February 2014 04:48 (ten years ago) link
The problem with Magneto Now is that his blue skill is crap, and there are much better red skills. His purple is awesome obviously. I'm using him in this event but I don't know if I'll ever bring him out when he's not powered up.
― zanarkand bozo (abanana), Monday, 24 February 2014 09:34 (ten years ago) link
Just squeezed in a quick bout at the Moonstone/Daken/Ragnarok bout in Algeria using Cap/AstWolvie/MagNow. Nothing went right from the start, watching all the tiles fall in exactly the right order for them to match - particularly greens which all went their way so there are a lot of strike tiles which they're taking out better than I am. Finally I catch a break and with the match that knocks out Moonstone I get Red for AstWolv - run the green power for max strike tiles then hit with red and Daken is gone, but Raggie's first hit wipes out Cap. I'm chipping away but AstWolv is nearly gone and Raggie has over 1500 left - I'm resigned to the fact I'm not going to make the red match with him so check MagNow's red and it's just enough so I hit that for the three turn countdown.
I figure since I'm in there I might as well hit the blue too since I might get some benefit from it. The game puts it RIGHT NEXT TO THE RED as a 1 countdown with no way of matching or separating them far enough. WORST GAME EVER.
Then Raggie uses his ability on his turn that takes out the two centre columns WHICH INCLUDES THE BLUE AND NOT THE RED. I stay alive for one more turn then the red damage kills him. BEST GAME EVER.

I'm using Mag Now for nothing but his purple. Blue is saved entirely for OBW and CStorm. I may use his red if I'm bored.
― Jeff, Monday, 24 February 2014 11:30 (ten years ago) link
OBW/CStorm/Mag Now is just a fun team to run. Once you get it rolling, you can obliterate any of the countdown timer teams.
― Jeff, Monday, 24 February 2014 11:32 (ten years ago) link
That is exactly the team I'm rolling now.
― Millsner, Monday, 24 February 2014 12:28 (ten years ago) link
dammit I don't have MagNow purple, maybe that's why I've been wondering what the big fuss is about him
got my ass served to me last night when I ran OBW/CStorm/MagNow (with my shitty MagNow); lowlight was like aldo's without the raggie column smash. I DIED
― Euler, Monday, 24 February 2014 14:30 (ten years ago) link
MagNow's red isn't bad if you don't have anyone else using red, which I don't when I run OBW/MagNow/Spidey, which allows a whole bunch of blue to feed whichever of OBW/Spi's skills I want to use at any given moment (and occasionally just do one-turn-countdown 1-2k damage attacks)
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 24 February 2014 14:36 (ten years ago) link
yeah that was my sitch, I just didn't have the power to win that one. came back later with cap and smashed it.
my l~60 OBW + l~60 CStorm + my maxed Cap have been rocking nicely in the iso-8 tourney. running red with cap turns out to be a pretty steady way to wreck havoc; and getting yellow just leads to an unexpected mid battle battalion of shields that means I take essentially no damage from there on out.
― Euler, Monday, 24 February 2014 14:40 (ten years ago) link
yeah when cap's been required i've been able to use his red as a countdown destroyer with reasonable efficiency. not anyone i'd ever drag along by choice still.
― eric banana (s.clover), Monday, 24 February 2014 15:06 (ten years ago) link
i've had so many wipeouts with the last batch of Brotherhood missions

So I got three heroic tokens from this latest ISO8 level thing. And then I proceed to pull three classic storm covers, a character I've already maxed out.a jkldfjklasjdkfl ajfuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafuck.

As it stands, I may have to take a break from this game for a while, so the most I'm going to get to do with it is to sell expiring covers.

Damn, every boost is retired except for Critical.
I'm tempted to start an alliance, but I want to confirm first that you can hold more than 5 people - otherwise it feels like kind of a waste
xp yes, people were exploiting it
― Nhex, Monday, 24 February 2014 21:30 (ten years ago) link
Every boost? Except critical?? that sucks. Makes mags now more essential though.
― Jeff, Monday, 24 February 2014 21:31 (ten years ago) link
I hope they have some more of those levels with all 230s. Sure didn't need boosts for those.
― Jeff, Monday, 24 February 2014 21:33 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, there are new boosts but all the ones you've won to date are now dead.
Anybody without a levelled Psylocke is going to struggle on the new pvp according to my first three fights.
― Ian Glasper's trapped in a scone (aldo), Monday, 24 February 2014 21:35 (ten years ago) link
They like to do these tourneys right after a new character has been introduced, as they shouldn't be too many high-leveled Psylockes out there yet... for now
― Nhex, Monday, 24 February 2014 21:38 (ten years ago) link
yep, worked all day no time to hit the refresh. fell to 14. guess i gotta resign myself to only 2 covers here, at best.
or maybe i should stop playing it and work on all the other stuff i have to do in my life.

― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 02:27 (ten years ago) link
due to not unlocking the new boosts i decided to try and hit this round unboosted (all 230s, basically). didn't emerge from a single fight without one casualty, but nailed them all without a loss. i guess everyone else is reeling/attiring too because this shot me back up to #10 in my main bracket. still haven't tackled a few or the "character required" missions, but at least got thru the core progression. one fight vs. dark avengers i lost patch and psy both so poor spidey was left facing off against a 230 juggs with no strike tiles on the board, whittling away 25-120 pts each hit but miraculously maintaining enough blue to keep that stunlock on. next fight i ran spidey/magnow/patch vs. the dark avengers and a lucky cascade knocked out my patch early on again, with _all three_ 230 da still left, and mags with only 400 life. magnow's purple kept spidey fed, and the red, when he could pull it off was clutch as my only damage ability at all. man that was a slow grind.
so i appreciate that sorta challenge at least, though maybe not in every single fight.
― eric banana (s.clover), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:16 (ten years ago) link
i think i need a new strat, or a team w/better synergy than Iron Man 40/Spidey/Punisher - it's a crapshoot if i can get past the Lvl 150 stages, and 200-ish forget it. And this is with a maxed Spidey and a 128 IM40!
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:19 (ten years ago) link
yeah im40 and punisher don't really have much to offer in the goon fights -- there, board control matters way more than pure dps. i imagine they'd be good tanks against dark avengers tho?
looking at your roster, spidey/obw/pun? or spidey/cmags/pun? heck, spidey/daken/obw?
― eric banana (s.clover), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 04:39 (ten years ago) link
