OTM -- lack of team variety still the biggest killjoy for me. I've actually banned ThorNow from my roster because I'm so sick of seeing him.

Everyone seems to be using Spider-man to me. Which I'm OK with since he can't permastun a team when on defense.

I've been using C. Storm, OBW and the Hood. Made it up to #11 this evening, but I fully expect to fall off the face of the earth tomorrow.

I don't even worry about ranking until the last hour or so. You can make up so much ground. Whereas if your grinding from the beginning, you'll just lose a ton of points while you sleep.

I was really stupid last night in my gameplay, died at least three times over, last was the worst because I was using Thorverine (both L77) and OBW (maxed) against a Wolverine/OBW/M Storm, with only Wolfie maxed I think. I thought, "Cakewalk, let's change things up a bit and take OBW out first instead of Storm," the AI got some lucky cascades and Storm was able to fire off her green and BOOM, I was dead.

on this new simulation path, ogbw/daken/bullseye is interesting. Purple sets up a shield, green is an attack and blue heals. Black attacks and purple steals ap. you can do some funky fast juggling and really end matches fast with a few early purple/green matches.

and of course, boosted espionage starts really tearing stuff up fast

(bullseye is boosted on that path btw)

since this is going on for nine days, i'm using it as my excuse to level up bullseye

ALSO: guaranteed top prize is 2500 iso and it's fairly easy now pre-rubberband. play now!

Dang, I'm going to need to find roster space for Bullseye again, and the only cover of his that I have available is black.

By the way this is an alliance challenge as well! I've got 10,805 in the kitty; current top ranked alliance is (gulp) 124K.
get cracking boys!

top prize is a lazy cap.

just under 12k added for the alliance; this is easy so far. have beaten every event in both sims, easy and hard, once now. Buffed Psylocke is MEAN

I'd like to join the ILX alliance if possible. I have 650 HP to give and I'll make up the remainder when I get it. username ✧@th✧✧✧.✧0n (without search proofing).

that was a little too much search proofing. d4th0mps0n.

I've only done a few matches but I should be able to grind out a ton of points with these. I like the variety.

problem is that we don't have any way to exchange HP!
maybe the last one in can pay it forward? Or does anyone in the alliance have the HP? Obviously more people means more points, i'm all in favor. Top alliance is currently running TWENTY deep which is the max... until we get there we're always gonna be also rans.

Some of us have less than 200 HP and are constantly struggling against roster limits. :(

this Alliance is a great grinder, lots and lots of rewards. definitely good to get in early before the rubberbanding shoots all the enemies up to 100+

abanana - I have a lot of extra HP, so I will pony up the 1000HP for slot #10 for Team ILX-Factor. (I bought the #6 slot as well, so if the rest of yous would pitch in for the next 10, that'd be nice)
join up. anyone else here not in the Alliance yet?

great grinder I meant "The Simulator" obv

Thanks Nhex! Didn't know that HP couldn't be pooled. I'll buy a slot as soon as I get enough HP.

You're in. We're currently #49 in the overall Alliance board. By the power of Guido Carosella, old Cap shall be OURS.

2 open roster spots, 575 hp. Every character gotten! Yay me!
Maxed out hulk, pushed IM40 up to around level 80 before the event he was boosted in ended and am now gonna max out bullseye over the simulator event while he's insanely boosted. If I pick a few Doc Doom covers up in this divine event, I may move onto him once Bullseye is finished, otherwise I guess I grind on punisher/IM40. It's really about getting a few maxed out *** characters now. A spidey or a hulk cover would be reeeeeeeeeeally nice right around now to help move that nonsense forward.

12 characters at level 50 or higher means that whatever the boost on a given tourney, i can generally field a team that's reasonably competitive. can't generally crack top ten but i can get the iso, a few hp to expand new slots and slowly get better...

xp I always imagine you typing that out from scratch because we're all nerdy obsessives here, but you probably have a spreadsheet tracking your roster because we're all nerdy obsessives here.

um sadly no. i cut and paste from the last time i posted and then rummage through my roster and update.

Hah then I think there's still hope for you.

Boosted max Bullseye is just OK. Better health but the protection tiles only protect 57 damage.

i find that three purple matches more or less renders me invulnerable on the easy simulator

on tile damage but just get your blasts and give him the singe

Urk, that GSBW + 2 Goons mission is no joke.

I only just now realized that i can use easy missions to heal up my injured guys

Should I level up my Patch for this event even if he doesn't have his yellow ability?

He's not powered up but if you've got 9+ covers go for it.

It's just a couple fights, but I came out +50 in overnight NHB attacks with a lineup of OBW/Daken/Wolverine (first two maxed, last 77). I ran with those three after my Thor got dinged up, but it looks like a new keeper!

keep us updated as to whether or not they hold up as a good D-line, could be verrrry useful info...

Will do!

I'm having a hard time getting my grind on in these latest levels. The progression awards just aren't that appealing.

Meaning the daredevil covers. DGAF.

Feels really key to get in on these super early before the rubberbanding becomes super annoying, fuck these 120-150 lvl matches. If I didn't have a Psylocke for those special matches I would've given up a lot earlier

Crap, went to bed, I'm out of the top 100. grindgrindgrind. I'll be lucky to make that first DD card reward

keep us updated as to whether or not they hold up as a good D-line, could be verrrry useful info...

Hah, so much for that! Attacked twice, lost both times, -28 points.

rubberbanding is when the points get higher when yr behind. scaling is when the more you (and others) win the harder it gets.

i was looking at it like oh these matches are so EZ >> get put in the slingshot >> noooooo!!

looks like this Simulator round ends at midnight ET, synchronize watches

Big Thor leveled way up, Ares maxed, IM40 and M. Storm also leveled up. All ** covers maxed except Wolvie (who I sold 3 times before this iteration). I'm still going with Patch+OBW+Daken but now I have some solid B-teams to work with as well.

Applying the 4th IM40 yellow cover was a big mistake. Some people in the d3 forum were suggesting 5/4/4 as the best build, but it just takes sooooo long to get to 12 yellow that I won't be using him often.

you'll use the Red often enough, it's the Blue that you'll never get around to using (too expensive, not worth it)

i suggest partnering him up w/The Hood, OBW, or another stunner

holy heck abanana how did you get so much gold thor
