finished 2nd in the tourney somehow never doing that again jfc

i probably spent a good 50% of my day concerned about dropping to 3, no idea why it didn't happen, did not know what i was getting myself into over the weekend

but hey now i have both 4* covers 3 sentry covers and i just started playing like 2 weeks ago either i'm a prodigy or i just wasted my memorial day weekend

Got three standard tokens from the alliance in Prodigal Sun. First one was two-star. Ares, can't use, but still, nice. Second one two-star as well, again useless, still, 500 iso! Third one was a Black Panther... That's lucky.

Spent those HP and pump almost all my ISO into Hulk. Enjoying the ridiculous cascades he brings. Still need a red card for him.

but hey now i have both 4* covers 3 sentry covers and i just started playing like 2 weeks ago either i'm a prodigy or i just wasted my memorial day weekend

Why not both?

I wish I had a Hulk like that *dreams*

The problem with Hulk is that you don't really get the rage tile changes as easily when you have high HP, since it's based on % damage

So it feels kind of weird leveling him up, knowing you're making that ability less effective

he just eats through me in PvP though. I usually win (though not always!), but come out so damaged that I have to either grind heal or use health packs on everyone.

bring Spidey Or C.Storm for the stun

Pulled a psylocke on a heroic token. First good pull I've had in awhile.

That'll make you go blind.

Is it possible for me to get to 1100 in Fresh Cut to get another psylocke card? The leader doesn't even have 1100 yet.

I don't think I can. I win 30 points and lose 80 in the same time frame. Topping out around 800.

Lol I thought I could beat this team. I did not.

Went for an 8 hour shield for a variety of reasons at #3. Stll ended up outside of the Magneto covers. I think I miggt be done with this game.

made it to the 10 pack in season two. got 2 *** covers, one a cmags i didn't need, and the other a spidey i used to respec his yellow to 4, since healing is now his only key use.

on the plus side, i pulled a yellow panther from a standard token, letting me bring him up to 128.

new simulator is a nice change of pace.

I got the model 40 blue cover at 3000 season 2 points, so mine's now 5-5-3 and I can 141 him. psyched, because I love running him with Pun: 3 yellow covers mean you get green too on recharge so you can fire off a judgment.

got a red & purple cmags from the psylocke tourney, but it'll be a while before he's useful to me, and anyway they'll have nerfed him by then.

hoping to get some serious patch & panther from the current tourneys but I gotta fly overseas tomorrow and so will miss some precious hours unless I pay $25 for wifi during the flight. would be like paying for hp I guess, not a good use of cash.

In a moment of weakness, I played enough to get the 3000 ISO from the simulators. Leveled up Psylocke and Spider-man.

Thanks to the new patch update I now know that Loki has black fingernails.

UGH, getting reamed in PVPs lately! And I'm talking about facing L85 teams, really.

I'd put 2** wolvie in b-tier, gsbw in a-tier. lazy cap and psylocke might be a-tier but they're really underwhelming in my experience, and might fall down to b-tier. and i'd take rags or loki or daken over cstorm any day.

still think IW is pretty useless.

daredevil is terrible to play using but can be a pain as an opponent if you're not careful to take him out. especially paired with goons he can be rough.

I seem to be alone in hating 2* Wolvie so much. He only has one good ability (red), and there's a ton of 3* characters that outclass it. I can see GSBW being higher -- I never got enough covers to use her properly.

Lazy Cap's red is just insane damage, and if you get the tile back it only costs 1 AP. His other abilities are weak. Psylocke's red and black attacks work in sync with each other and deliver a ton of damage; her blue sucks, never use it.

I used Loki quite a bit actually, since he goes well with Patch. But Black Panther has a much better black ability -- why mess with tiles when you can just instant kill the entire team? Daken used to be better, but they nerfed the strike damage recently. CSection's amazing blue and her synergy with Magnowto are why I liked her, although their low health means I only used them in events.

I enjoyed playing as Daredevil despite him sucking. Taint shot was just hilarious whenever it happened (rarely). Playing against him you just had to counterpick him with Daken, Storm, or one of the many other tile-destroying/overwriting characters.

his red is amazing for a 2*. his green is still pretty solid, and his yellow can occasionally pay off though of course its not nearly the workhorse it once was.

(his being wolvie).

lazy cap's red is good no doubt, but he's easy to manage as an opponent and his other abilities are terrible. my problem with psylocke is that her black is inferior to pun's and her red only tosses out one strike tile so its too fragile and it also has a high startup cost. i only have here at 102 though, so at higher levels she might start to impress..

loki i like his purple -- i'm a big fan of board shakeup/control abilities, and this is also why i'm not keen on psylocke -- compared to pun she leaves the board intact, this losing possibilities for enemy tile destruction, cascades, etc.

Agree w/ wat's assessment of 2* Wolvie -- I've lately left him out because I'm seeing the usefulness of 2* Thor, though that's mostly because Thor offers 3 active, damage-dealing abilities, but I think Wolvie synergizes well with OBW obviously. He's definitely one of my go-tos when I go up against someone I want to take down in one turn (Daken, Hulk, etc.) or when I'm inclined to avoid making green matches (Daken).

Ugh, Lazy Cap. Last night in the Hard Simulator, my 2* Thor was playing heads up against him, I had 2000+ health left while he had 1000... but he still had one yellow protect tile out there, and my AP situation wasn't great. All my tile matches of course went for 1 HP, and he steadily wore me down till he got enough red to clobber me with his his Ultimate Frisbee toss. Game over, so many grrrs.

HATE playing against Loki. Throw him on the SUCK MY DICK pile with that Illusion rearrangement bollocks.

Wondering if I should drop the 70K ISO on M Hawkeye -- seems like he'd come in handy for some of the Hard Simulator missions?

i got pun from the the simulator and he's just gonna be taking up a roster spot for a long time without any usage, sort of want to drop him, same with invisible woman and xforce wolvie, maybe patch. all of these guys. i've probably sold off like 50 jugs and venoms and hawkeyes, i could have a decent secondary party instead of waiting on all these 3*s and 4*s

o lol i also have a grey suit widow hanging around waiting for a spot, and a classic mags, and 0 HP. this is silly.

Patch and Pun are both amazing. It's unlikely that Pun will ever get nerfed, so I'd keep him at least. Invisible Woman isn't worth it -- if you aren't a collector go ahead and sell her. XF Wolvie is due for an upgrade but it's at least a month away.

I think it's OK to spend $2 or $5 on Hero Points once. Early in the game, it means a few extra slots and less worry.

you will never want jugs and venom and hawkeye but pun is a workhorse.

juggs is fine. venom, no.

Too many high level patches in this tourney.

lol, sold some and recruited pun/grey suit widow cause i had 2/i think a 2* wolvie cause i had like 5 of them and sold all 78 of my remaining covers including a cmags and some other good stuff cause i figured i wasn't gonna go from 0 to 500 HP in a week, and now i'm probably gonna have 500 by the end of tomorrow

it's so much easier to just hit sell all tho, and at least i got to level storm from 6 to 77 in a day

Don't redeem tokens till you have roster space! Resist the urge to cash them in immediately!

Forgot to mention that I got the black Pun from the Simulator, so now mine is 3/1/3! Approaching usability!

Just redeemed 44 standard tokens:

2 (TWO) Patches, unfortunately, both green.
1 Pun (green)
1 Lazy Cap (yellow :\)
1 Ragnarok (green, sigh -- still don't have a red)

Also a green Ares, first one I've ever pulled from anything.

This game has a unique way of remaining compelling, while still being extremely disappointing. Good job game.

Hah... at least the Simulator is barely keeping me interested

Playing until the 10 pack then I think I'm done - been grinding since the Panther tourney started and struggled to get to 300. I'll be in a fight with 141s for 14 points and be hit for 30 while it's going on. That's no fun.

Damn -- are the only fights you have available to you worth 14 points? You should almost always fight against people who give you at lease 25 points.

Every PVP match now is a team that is better than my team, no matter how many times I skip. Very frustrating.

Tanking helps though it's boring

Yeah, same thing happens to me. I just thought it was because I'd improved enough to get into a new bracket. My Simulation-situation has been dumb as well, have never been under top hundred, and was in top fifty in three out of the first four, and yet I couldn't crack top 300 in acumulation. Which is weird and frustrating and I'll get nothing out of it.

Yeah I haven't been able to place in the top 50 anymore, and like aldo once I get my 10-pack I'm taking a break from this stupid game.

Toying with burning all my HP on covers just for the vicarious thrill, and to incentivise me to quit. I'm about 800 from the 10 pack reward so 2 more tourneys I guess.

Mags classy on a standard pull. Hoorah.
