happy to have gotten one BP cover from my rank, & another from the alliance's rank. thought I'd be getting a black rather than yellow cover from my rank, oh well.

that's a mean team

Only bad thing - w/Spidey at that high level, Espionage never kicks in, since OBW has to own the tile for it to work and Spidey's Blue and Purple tile strength takes over. OBW only really gets used for AP steal and to combat other OBWs, and I possibly should go 5/5/3 after all. Sticking w 4/5/4 at the moment

But then again if I'm using AP Steal all the time the lower level might be better pffffffttt.

finally maxed my OBW today at 5-3-5 and the extra ap cost for steal is negligible for me since her purple dominates & so I get steady purple espionage with her. & once I get the steal going I can cycle it more. guess this matters in longer rather than shorter battles; I know sclover says his battles are always short but I don't know how to get that, mine take a while unless I get a good run with wolvie strike tiles + OBW espionage.

Fighting with this modern Thor sucks.

at low levels he's as bad as low level thor

A red skill that does 100 damage! Sweet.

Nice job, guys!

this juggernaut mode is p sweet but none of my eligible heros can do any damage so I hit a wall

just got a blue Spidey cover on a standard draw; at 1/5/2 now

You now have a broken character. Congrats!

why?

Standard pulls today: 3 identical IM35 covers and a mod storm.

Spidey with 2AP blue can stun the entire enemy team forever.

but that's good, right?

by broken he means OP, so yes!

basically 5 blue spidey is one of the potential endgame states imo

it is the marvel puzzle quest equivalent of a cultural victory in civ 5

wait, no... the spaceship victory

Playing Spidey LR against a team that had max Thor, they managed to get 11 yellow AP, and as I was tightening my sphincter for the coming Thunderstrike, Spidey comes out of nowhere to cast Web Bandages when there were zero web tiles on the board. Oh AI, never change.

AI Juggernaut shockingly good at countering Spider-Man's webs when partnered with a high level character

Attacked for 249 points in the Thor tourney when I was sleeping. That's a new low.

ouch, that burns.

I lost 84, but eeek

Sometimes when I have to close the game in the middle of a match, when I come back it, it has automatically resigned me instead of continuing. Drives me fucking crazy.

I was about 2 fights off the MagNow cover which I could have done with (I think it was somewhere around 660 points), went down to just over 400.

I'd like to say fuck this game, but I suspect I will still keep playing casually and avoid the grind. Obtaining Talisman Prologue for free over the weekend will help me with this mindset.

2* Wolverine 5/4/3 is capped at 77, and I got a handful of ISO (~8000), with these non-capped characters:

Thor 71 4/3/5
C Storm 40 4/5/4
MN 28 3/1/3

I'm guessing Thor to have a big dumb tank available. Less interested in Storm now, since I run OBW every damn chance I get, and that blue goes to healing. MN is still too low to be of much use, I guess.

I'm over 100k ISO now. Still got analysis paralysis on deciding who to upgrade.

Lee: Go Thor, he's a solid all-rounder. OBW pretty much takes the same slot as Mag Now, and C. Storm can be sat on, unless you want to use her for Divine Champions this week.

Jeff: Who are your options again?

pulled a psylocke cover last night on a 2 star draw, and then placed top 5 in the thor tourney so I got three more psylocke covers for that

let's just say that I have gotten...accustomed to spidey stun lock

My prime candidate would be Punisher. I have him at 3/3/3 and could level him up to 89. None of my other three stars seem worth it at this point. Two stars, I would do Ares, who I also have at 3/3/3. Not a fan of the sacrificial playing style though.

You're the type that never uses Jugg's headbutt?

I love Punisher but I think he doesn't get really good until you have 5 Red, or 5 in Green or Black. Still, any leveled up 3* is worth having IMO, if merely for the intimidation factor in PVP, and it'll help you more of those cards later to fill it out.

Ares, you need 5 Yellow to be solid, but I never pushed him far enough to see how good he is at max level anyway

jeff, level your three star guys and jump the line. i wish i had that kind of iso.

If I level Punisher from 16 to 89, I'll still have around 40K iso left.

$_$

Think of our alliance, man!

OGBW fully maxed is gonna be worth the trouble until you get spidey imo
you really need a healer to (over)play this fuckin' thing

when's the next alliance event?

Character
- Nick Fury has returned from a brief sabbatical at a day spa, returning with a new look. Even genius tacticians need a break every now and then.

obw + spidey is pretty great too because the blue generation really feeds him.

Eventually your Spidey's blue tile strength will overtake OBW though, which cancels out Espionage

she'll still get it for black and purple tho'

Purple, no. Black, yes, unless you're using Punisher.

wondering then if it's worth leveling spidey up, once you have 5 blue covers? right now he's not taking any hits b/c his attacks are weaker than OBW's, and whoever the meat shield is. & the stun lock + purple shields only depend on # of blue matches, not on level.

It's worth it - Spidey will always get targeted first in PVP because of the web loop, and at max level, he has 5800 HP

my spidey still doesn't grab blue from obw and i don't see why i'd level him up further. fast offensive wins in pvp way more important than occasional defensive wins/deterrence effect. spidey is never a deterrent anyway.

oh right, yeah I forgot about defense

in the thor tourney I made it into the top 5 but I lost so many battles at the end, was just advancing ten points (not ranks, points) at a time, beating all these big teams with stun lock but losing nearly as many

Remember you can skip up to three battles before the negative iso penalty kicks in
