Also his board clearing move gives you strike tiles = A+

Yeah, I love Punisher. If nothing else that Red ability is a true gift, and then the board clear/strike tile abilities are gravy

Two more Ares covers, which brings him to an awesome 0/4/3!

I don't know if Ares is really worth it anyway over Thor/Ast. Wolvie for your RGY fix

two loki in the last tourney, now doing decently in divine champions -- if anything too well. i really just want the green cstorm to respec. I have her at 3/5/5 back from when her yellow was monster. now 5/5/3 is the better way to go. such a relief still to be sitting out hulk. i suppose i'll be jealous of the three star thor, but i never liked playing with him anyway -- just collect the tiles, then go to town, no real art to it. on the other hand all the guys i like playing with are way poorer on defense since you need to think further ahead to use 'em right.

anyway, with all the buffed heavy hitters divine champions is pretty brutal, and patch/loki/spidey is too risky to run. so its either patch/ares/spidey or ares/thor/spidey with the latter probably better on defense? i suppose the best defense would be ares/thor/cstorm if i bothered to level her past 40 (with the 3 green she's sorta lame now). i know i'd steer clear of such a team as an opponent in this tourney.

After getting near-walloped by some high-level Thors, I'm scared off of the Divine Champs tourney. Man, he's no fun to fight against when he's buffed.

42K ISO burning a hole in my packet. Just can't commit to a 3 star yet

I'd settle on any number of 3 stars if I had enough fookin covers

just maxed my Daken though, guess I'll take Spidey to my current level cap next

got a purple gray suit BW on a standard draw today, after ceaseless shite draws

I got a red gray suit on a standard. Surprising.

I got my first ever T40 cover today (and yes, it was on a standard draw too).

i pulled an xforce wolvie so clearly somethings up

The most covers I have for a 3 star character is five. Punisher and IM40. So I could only get them to level 41. Considering another 2 star, Ares, I have 8 of his covers.

dropped to the lowest end of points in the hulk event and probably relatedly (but perhaps not) finally the opponents went from 230 each to around 67-90, depending.

Similar thing for me... all my matches this have been reasonable (like 70-130), probably because of how bad I did in the last round of the last PvE set where I was getting 180-230 matches. I'm trying to pace myself because I don't care about winning more iso/Heroic tokens in the sub-brackets, but I just want enough to get into the top 1000 to get 3x Gold Thor cards at the end of the week

The Divine Champions PvP is pretty brutal due to the crazy buffs on Ares and Thor, usually have to burn off a health pack for every match

I'm pushing through on Divine ChMps to get the Hero tokens but as Nhex says it just wipes out teams and health packs.

The constant streams of Rag, Daken, Moonstone teams in Hulk is taking toll too especially at the stupid levels.

I am skipping the Divine Champions PvP. I don't have the right characters leveled for it -- only C. Storm is at level 85.

Got to 500, don't need Thor at 700 so that'll do me. Currently at #4, which probably shows how few are playing this. Either the IM40 or CStorm green would suit so no real incentive to keep the rank high.

Standard pull today netted me a Classic Hawkeye. :\

That said, I am now the proud owner of a Loki thanks to the resupply, and got another green Hulk to bring him to, wait for it, 3/0/0.

My Hulk is 3/1/0. I desperately want to pump so ISO into him, but seems pointless without some black covers.

Wonder if I should go for the Iron Man 40 cover or the C Storm cover -- former would be my second, latter would bring her to 4/4/3.

I could never get behind IM40. Just doesn't fit my style of play though.

Ended up getting the Storm, but since this next PVP offers her yellow covers, might as well try for the IM40s.

finally got my 5/52 im40, where i shall stop.

I really hate the feeling of losing a hundred places in the final results while you're asleep.

Got x-force wolverine for a daily deal for a 100 hero points. No roster space and no hope that I'll ever see another one ever again.

4 heroic tokens and didn't get SHIT.

I really just want to get all the punisher cards from the hulk progression.

x-force red from a basic token for me. whee.

I'd almost rather have a slew of standards over heroic. I swear I've gotten better pulls from standards. Heroic always gives me wolvie/Thor/cStorm.

same here, but i guess that's what one heroic a week (ish) and 4 standards a day (ish) will do given the stats in the above .xls taught us

thanks nhex!

With the standards, my expectations are already low enough that I'm not disappointed when I pull a thor/wolvie. Heroic I just have too high of hopes.

game of the year mfers!

things done changed

Wha happened?

we all got old

65k ISO saved up. I wish I could sell it. It cost 99.00 for 52k ISO!!!

"game of the year mfers!"

i assume this is because they added samuel l. jackson into it

lol, no it's because it won goty in the annual ILG poll!
Coint and Plick 2014 - The Seventh Annual ILX Video Game Poll

also i wish i could buy your iso

so now i have 140-180 mainly for the hulk event. getting destroyed every so often, but some fun nail-biter victories too.

going with patch/spidey/cmags even though i actually think obw is more reliable than mags when unboosted (b/c blue or purp can feed that team but the other needs blue and nothing but) because cmags is just more fun to play, or at least a welcome change of pace (daily rewards gave me my fifth blue).

patch/spidey/panther (required) vs lvl 180 lieutenant/ares/bullseye. i get a really bad run, a few blue but i run out quick, i keep getting starved of anything but green. since i didn't have blue for stunlock i haven't shot patch's green since i can't handle the strike tiles back at me. meanwhile bullseye's protects have knocked my damage down to almost zero and whatever damage i did get, the lt. heals. eventually they get enough ap to fire off ares' red and demolish my team, taking out spidey entirely, and nearly destroying panther. bullseye is still in stunlock, but ares is free at nearly full health. no other options, i fire off patch's green twice in a row, and use panther matches to take him the rest of the way down, with panther getting killed in the process. just patch left, at 15% health or so. bullseye wakes up, and miraculously for three turns straight he takes an env tile match instead of a regular match, so i avoid damage just long enough to down him, leaving me just vs the goon who i mop up reasonably well, and by the time i finish, patch, last man standing, has healed to full health.

that was the most challenging match i've won in a while.

patch seems way too risky to use in that mission, esp. with Ares and his one shot kills. and you have to kill the lieutenant first to stop the heals on top of all that

what team would you recommend?

(just ran another with spidey/obw/panther. it was slooow to complete, but relatively straightforward)

try buffed Thor, or even Ast. Wolvie in place of OBW - maybe someone else with good board clearing like Magneto NOW
Spidey/OBW/Panther sounds pretty safe tho

My new favorite thing to do is stack the critical bonus to 125%. Using MagsNow and do a mad grab for purple. Then I can usually create two critical tiles, or more with some lucky cascades. Also great in oasis levels with Thor's yellow, you can put a bunch of green on the board, then hit oasis to put even more green, and usually get a critical or two.

New update has some little UI changes: buffed characters show the relative character level now, so you don't have to guess how strong they are compared to the other heroes. Also, the unpacking tokens graphic gives you a hint to what class it is (1*, 2* etc.) which seems pretty pointless but it's slightly more amusing

What's the best 2* Thor config? I'm at 4/4/5

i asked forks upthread and he likes 3/5/5 for the insane-o green boost from yellow, and after using it a few times i think i agree

yeah, red got badly nerfed and yellow balanced nicely imo
