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.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Saturday, 31 May 2014 23:16 (nine years ago) link
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.
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Sunday, 1 June 2014 03:17 (nine years ago) link
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.
― mohawk ororoducer (abanana), Sunday, 1 June 2014 04:30 (nine years ago) link
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.
― mohawk ororoducer (abanana), Sunday, 1 June 2014 04:46 (nine years ago) link
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.
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Sunday, 1 June 2014 06:17 (nine years ago) link
(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.
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Sunday, 1 June 2014 06:22 (nine years ago) link
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.

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?
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Sunday, 1 June 2014 19:24 (nine years ago) link
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.
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 2 June 2014 03:03 (nine years ago) link
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.
― mohawk ororoducer (abanana), Monday, 2 June 2014 03:37 (nine years ago) link
you will never want jugs and venom and hawkeye but pun is a workhorse.

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
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 3 June 2014 05:37 (nine years ago) link
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!

Just redeemed 44 standard tokens:

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

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.
― Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Wednesday, 4 June 2014 22:41 (nine years ago) link
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.

― Euler, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 23:07 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 23:29 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Wednesday, 4 June 2014 23:30 (nine years ago) link
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.

simulator let me max my panther to 5/3/5 141 -- my first 141. missed the patch thing entirely basically, so probably won't place well in season II. my simulator token also gave me a yellow sentry -- so he's at 30 now, not that i see using him any time soon.
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Thursday, 5 June 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link
he's buffed in the Maggia missions, so at least you can use him in that

i have about 70k iso saved up and i'm getting a little itchy. would there be any benefit to maxing mag now when i've already maxed both storms, obw, **wolv, thor now, and ares? i guess it would be nice to have an obw alternative. the highest number of covers i have for any one *** is four for hood.
― yodarman, Friday, 6 June 2014 15:00 (nine years ago) link
3-5-5 maxed MagNow is great, esp with OBW, CStorm, Spidey or really anyone who uses blue for a significant power, plus his red can act as a great auxiliary color battery depending on placement and a cascade initiator.

You know how I said 'fuck this game' before but with a distant-ish end goal?

― Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Saturday, 7 June 2014 00:42 (nine years ago) link
with the spidey nerf, magnow/spidey is way less fun. the obw combo is still pretty neat. his red is killer tho.
boosted maxed panther + patch is way fun. race to 12 black, 7 green, then fire off patch into a rage of the panther, and just level the whole opposing team.
thick as thieves is so boring after the simulator.
