Marvel Puzzle Quest Support Group

i admit, i love how under the new PVP system when you get those random victories

i took the last spots, sorry snooze bros

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.

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!

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?

my formula is always spidey + one damage dealer + one other support character of some sort.

Wireless connection is spotty @ home, this may be a fortunate turn of events.

i do even worse against the DA teams, they slaughter me w/DPS before i can get a web loop going
i kind of look at Spidey as the support character, since he's all healing/defense. problem i see with pairing him w/OBW is that you have that blue overlap and deciding which level of heal you want
both my Mags are pretty low, like 40-ish. you're right though, i need a better attacker in the mix

i don't launch into a web loop until i acquire a ton of blue usually. that's why i need either obw or cmags or the like. i never use her blue. instead i use her espionage and purple to deny abilities and feed spidey -- careful play can keep the DA from getting enough AP to set off any really significant moves, and if you notice they have enough to launch something rough, you lock down _just that person_. similarly against daken it pays to have a green user (like patch, or i guess ares would work too) and you _just_ lock him down whenever you want to collect green. once he gets a few strike tiles out he's deadly, so denying those is key to ever winning those fights.

i agree spidey is support, but to take on those massive teams you need the synergy of two different support players and to play basically defensively, mitigating their ability to demolish you until you've acquired enough AP to take them down quick.

The main advantage of patch in this situation is that once he gets out his green, you don't need too many turns of stunlock to knock down the opposing team. obw has double synergy too because with espionage damage she can make those strikes hit twice. I've taken down 5000 hp at once with the right lucky cascade.

I'm basically alternative with Magsnow/OBW/Storm and Magsnow/OBW/Thor. RIP Wolvie, finally.

I am intrigued by your Magsnow ideas, but I need more covers

i just hit my 13th cover (and 14th cover, because i wanted to respec from 4/5/4 to 3/5/5 last night)! i've really liked magnow for a while, love how many covers they've been giving me lately. got him up to 67 or so, boy does that red do damage when he's got that 100% boost or whatever it is... i have a feeling i'll be disappointed after this event. but 9 purple -> 5 blue conversion w/ a free critical tile is disgusting. I love it.

I've gotten like 4 or 5 Mag Now covers over the last week through tokens and rewards. naturally, none of them are the one I need for respec, Purple

anyone see the error message? scary shit

for the past week or so, every time I win a heroic coin from an event, I've been getting standard coins instead

ultimately I don't care because lol free game but it's annoying

same here

It's not a Heroic token that becomes a Standard after the expiration date? It starts off as a Standard?? D:

you're supposed to get Heroic or Assault Team special tokens for placing high in the daily Brotherhood events, but they just give you standard tokens

mine have been heroic/2 star tokens but they may as well not have been

same -- nothin' but storm, already maxed out

i got one of those gold "standard" tokens the other day in addition to three actual standard tokens... somehow my 4 pulls had 3 ** -- probably small sample size if nobody else got good pulls from their high-ranked standard pulls...?

got two gold ** tokens from the last two events, and just drew them: a Psylocke & a purple MagNow! things are looking up around here

so in the spirit of that:

Okay, Nhex i know but who is Jex, Jheath and Scv in the ILX-Factor group? Lemme know or I'm gonna kick you and invite ILX joinees

Jheath = Jeff

Scv = s.clover?

dan, you're not in?

kick Jex tho so I can join :-D

Yo soy Jex

I would have joined as either djperry or Maggott, depending on which team I wanted to share with others (djperry is a stronger team but Maggott is named after Maggott)

so Euler, Jeff, Sclover, Nhex and me? Is that accurate?

yep

Yes, I'm in.

is it still max 5 ppl? boo urns

it's a dumb restriction for sure

hopefully it'll open up shortly

otherwise: WARRING ILX FACTIONS

btw I feel so dumb for having mostly ignored OBW until this current tourney, because she is amazing. think I said she will be nerfed but I dunno, her hp are pretty low, so I'm not sure about that anymore

running OBW + CStorm + someone tanky is working out really well for me. call me captain obvious, sentinel of liberty

yep, djp otm on who i is.

I maxed OBW out thanks to this tourney and i want to make an alt that is 5/3/5 instead of 5/5/3 (the joy of running different teams on different devices, lol)

my OBW is 4-3-5 and I'm gonna go for 5-3-5, because I'm killing it on the purple drain already & the cycling with 5 purple is going to be sick

I'm going to respec my OBW to 3/5/5 once I get a cover. Currently 4/5/5, which is fine, but now that I'm using magsnow purple all the time, the 4 isn't really needed.

4/5/5? I'm reporting you!

doh, 4/5/4 I mean.

yeah, mine's at 5/5/3 right now... am I misremembering or did OBW not have a black power when I started her? I feel like I had her at 5/4 before I even noticed espionage...

Yeah, she was a two-power character at first.

Got an xforce wolvie on a standard pull. Now I just need to get lucky about 8 more times.
