not using OBW in the last tourney meant i was using IM40's blue ability (and magnow + recharge to get 20 blue gems fast)... damn dude, level 5 im40 blue is an absolute beast. made me look at my level 128 guy as more than an anti-gravy device battery.

anti-gravy was a typo btw, but i noticed it and decided to leave it there because fuck gravy

anti-gravity heals do u see

made top 10 in gsbw tourney. psylocke at 90/115, 5/4/2.

tempted to start putting her into rotation, but she'll never be as solid as patch/spidey until some nerfs come along.

made top 50, got my blue cover, at 2-2-2 now

2 open roster spots, 600 hp
Gonna finish off punisher and then choose between building up patch/greywidow or ogstorm
This two star into three star slog is painful and sadly kinda boring. i think the d3 team made a mistake in having to create every new wave of characters as three stars... what's the point? don't we need some more one star jobbers?

i'm looking for an ares, spidey, doom, punisher or hulk card to build off of; can't seem to score any of these.

obv the solution to more ares cards is to suck harder at virtually every tournament lately (i feel like it's been the consolation prize in so many tourneys?)

gonna post my list soon, but yeah hulk is killing me atm -- 5/0/5!!! not a red cover in sight ;_;

yeah but a RED ares cover...

maxed ares is totally decent, especially as part of a roster with a lot of other top chars, since he can win battles quickly but soaks damage b/c of pumping green & taking the occasional yellow hit b/c of countdown loss

ares is crucial in divine champions tourneys where he's my preferred third, or can round out a maxed ares/thor/cstorm roster. otherwise not so much. great on defense there especially.

^this is why i'm seriously considering taking a currently level 30 two star character up to 85

I read a comment on the mpq board that suggested that it can be helpful to have team members that are fully powered up but not at all leveled up... i.e. they are level 15 and yet they're 5/5/3, with the idea being that dumb pvp opponents will see a low ranked player and then get slaughtered by them. Do you guys do this?

but if they're not leveled up they have no hp and they don't hit hard!?

that sounds like some thinking too hard ish to me

but if they're not leveled up they have no hp and they don't hit hard!?

But their powers would hit hard, wouldn't they?

Powers scale with levels, mostly.

this is called moneybags!!!

this two star character has 5 blue covers, 5 purple covers, and 5 yellow covers...

I'm kicking ass in this firenut event. Probably peaking too early.

can I still join the ilx group?

I'll buy a slot soon. Watch this space.

Go for it.

Just realized the Human Torch tourney is giving out Ragnarok cards. Ehhhh.

Yeah, disappointing.

thanks for the spot! holy crap they're expensive

Heroic Mode - Venom up in two sets (easy and hard). Spider-Man - disabled. BAGMAN: ENABLED. (But not even buffed)

It's not called Heroic for nothing!

yeah, that's a brutal lineup.

Yup - first time I've seen IM35 in ages. Also, no healers!

...and the rewards are Blondecap. Greeeat.

Uggggghgj

I picked a good week to take a break.

I have 4 eligible heroes -AstWolv, torchy the battery boy, BP and Psylocke. Just completed the basic mode using only 1 restore, 1/5 of the way to the first decent reward. Feels like too kuch effort but what else am I gunna do?

I feel like I should max out modern storm or something.

Or hawkeye, I guess if I want to do a 2 star.

so the only buffed character is Human Torch?

they should have buffed BAGITOS

flew cross country today & my flight had wifi but it was like $14 & I thought about buying it so that I could play MPQ the whole time but if I'm gonna spend money on the game I'd rather just get a bunch of hero points, and that ain't gonna happen

so I worked instead.

Black Panther + mod Storm works pretty well in this event, but then I'm only using Human Torch as a meatshield.

Just pulled the last 2* Wolvie that I needed to max him out! Finally have an actual maxed 2* roster now:

 85 / OBW       **  3/5/5  (85)++
 85 / Thor      **  4/4/5  (85)++
 85 / AWolv     **  5/5/3  (85)++
 69 / Daken     **  5/5    (69)++
 48 / CStorm    **  5/5/3  (85)
 47 / Cap       **  3/5/5  (85)
 33 / MStorm    *   5/4/4  (50)
 33 / MagNow    **  3/1/4  (46)
 30 / Patch     *** 2/1/1  (30)+
 30 / XWolv     ****0/0/3  (66)
 25 / Ares      **  0/5/4  (61)
 25 / Hulk      *** 5/1/0  (66)
 25 / Doom      *** 2/0    (25)+
 25 / Psylocke  *** 3/0/0  (38)
 18 / Rags      *** 3/0    (38)
 18 / J Storm   *** 1/0/1  (18)+
 18 / IM40      *** 0/1/1  (18)+
 18 / Panther   *** 1/2/0  (28)

 15 / BlondeCap *** 0/0/1  (15)+
 15 / Loki      *** 1/0    (15)+
 15 / CMags     *** 0/0/1  (15)+
 15 / Big Pun   *** 0/0/1  (15)+
  9 / MHawk     **  5/5/3  (85)
  1 / Jugs      *   0/5    (1)+

leveled my psymops over 100 now for the heroic event. still pretty meh. burned some iso on moonstone for the pvp as well. in retrospect probably shoulda taken my panther up past 40 instead. all the prizes are still stupid fatcaps so dunno why i'm bothering. on the other hand, pulled a green rags from the pvp token, and a red one from the last tourney so now i'm at 5/2 which is semi-usable if i bothered.

scorch's green is fun to play, but paired with psy i always take her red and black over his. bags is actually useful in the goon fights for some meh countdown management since my better alternatives are all disallowed.

tedium

agreed

Torch's green ability is a ton of fun, esp when paired with a green battery like Daken

I only have three usable characters for heroic mode so it is a serious fucking slog.

This challenge in expert mode with Venom and two purple generators has me beaten.

Leveling this week:

Loki 64->65
Moonstone 53->64
Daredevil 51->62
A. Wolverine 25->62
Hulk 47->50
M. Hawkeye 34->41
GS Black Widow 33->38
Lazy Cap 20->30

Yeah I failed at the first expert mode challenge, so I'm gonna have to stick to normal this time.

I was top 20 in norm heroic last round, #11 right now, see no reason waste previous heals working my way up the hard ladder

I LOVE the Torch; green is so fun
