So here's the one true strategy for one star tourneys. (it is sloow though). mbw/storm/I35. Fight only in swamp (lower left). Race to 5 red, fire off storm's red. feed that into a thorned rose. get into a stun/green/steal loop. if you're starved on red and green, early yellows get off I35's protect tiles, which keep you in play. take out storm first, then mbw, then their tank (typically i35/venom/juggs). heal up in the prologue if necessary. repeat.

you've given me the confidence to use my 30-ish MBW and MStorm - it's a winning formula even against the maxed out teams
lol @ will's pic. who will be the first... to drop a deuce
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 13:04 (ten years ago) link
just got smothered using that strat, but tbf juggsy ate up enough green before I got my first storm red that they already had like 20 in every color before I had a chance to run the strat. hate juggsy so much

Tried the Patch + 2 Goons Hard Simulator mission -- I guess the goons were supply him with loads of green AP because he fired that ability in like two turns.

euler: right, when yr vs. juggs you gotta deny red/green above all else, and only go for your own stuff second. but sometimes there's just no hope...

I'm using vastly underpowered MBW/Storm/IM35 in the one star tourney and am basically stomping on everyone I play; can't imagine the steamroll wrong i would do if they were level-capped

Also currently in the top 10 for both easy and heroic simulator, thank you based Doom

off, lvl 150 fat Thor + green generating goons = death in 6 turns or so
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 22:25 (ten years ago) link
yeah I survive that battle only b/c of spidey, putting him on stun lock as often as I can & hoping that the AI drops green countdowns to drain their green below 14
― Euler, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 22:30 (ten years ago) link
putting THOR on stun lock I mean
cmags has def replaced spidey as my favorite character to play. can't wait until i get a few more purple for him.

MStorm/MBW/Juggs may stop more people from attacking you. It also costs less ISO to max out. Downside is no yellow abilities.

whoa there are alliance prizes for the one star tourney! we are ranked in the 110s; top 100 would be better. I have 250ish points
― Euler, Wednesday, 26 March 2014 02:42 (ten years ago) link
at #1 with 504 points. a top 10 finish will make me happy. once nice thing about 1* is because the grind is slow and most teams are pretty equal, competition isn't that rough if you put in the time. 26th in the simulator overall, so i guess i'll get my stupid cap covers too unless i fall off.
― eric banana (s.clover), Wednesday, 26 March 2014 03:04 (ten years ago) link
HAHAHA OMG. Hard mode DD/Wolverine/IM40 against my OBW/Lil Thor/MF Doom. Took down Wolverine and Iron Man with a lot of help from Imagine Dragons, but the AI had a surfeit of AP and laid a dozen traps. With DD (about 2000 health left) as the last remaining enemy, I fired off Thor's yellow ability and ooh look at all these green matches available, triggers a cascade that trips TWO of his crotch kicks (killing Thor and Doom) AND his stun trap -- holy smokes, OBW is stunned for SEVEN TURNS? But thank god some of my red attack tiles survived, so while OBW was taking a nap, my lil demons took down DD.

Dropped to 27 in the overall Simulator; it's getting really tedious to catch up. I'll be working when the tourney ends tomorrow so I don't anticipate as good a finish for this round for me
― Nhex, Wednesday, 26 March 2014 05:14 (ten years ago) link
Bleh, ended up Top 75 in both Simulator events.

Last night was my first real go with a lightning round, complete with pretensions of getting a Doom cover... alas, only managed top 100.
― Leeee with three E's with 3 spelled out (Leee), Wednesday, 26 March 2014 16:32 (ten years ago) link
The dumb things about the Lightning Round rewards is that you need a good character... to get more cards for that same character. So the people most likely to win don't need those rewards

The thing is you really only need a few good 3* boosted guys to get the rest. So you can leverage a cmags/doom into loki, rags, or soforth.

adding a roster spot is now 1100, each successive add is another 100hp+ so the next slot will be 1200maybe we need to set this up so whoever is last added needs to buy the next slot?(Says the guy who started the alliance and only has 375hp)

there's a lot. but the consistent top placers fill all twenty slots of course.
