Thanks to the holiday schedule I'm aiming for the 10-pack again aka what am I doing with my life.

should get mine tomorrow!

Have I mentioned how much I love Modern Hawkeye's revamped (Purple) Quick Shot power? One lucky cascade means an instakill on almost any character, tears through teams like butter. Won't be surprised if it gets nerfed at some point.

Yeah, after I accidentally maxed his ISO, he's almost usable! I'm still reluctant to use him in a PVP for defense, though.

He is hilarious in events where he is buffed. Not only does his purple now instakill but his red can effectively wipe out a team that isn't all tanks

Is the principle of avoiding teams worth < 25 points still a valid strategy?

i set the bar at 20, but generally yeah it feels way too slow to grind for less
i'm noticing though that what what determines your PVP opponents more often than not is your avg. character levels less so than point level
could be imagining this though

Ugh, couldn't sleep so I played till the deadline, finished at 9. No purple. :(

Pulled another Hulk so that I maxed him! My first 166, so what if he's 5/4/4?

^^^ Best Thanksgiving ever.

lol

yay on 166! I 166d my lazy daken, but at 3-5-5. want 5-3-5 obv. but 5 blue right now is hilar, because it does like 4000 damage in the laken tourney, when I have 4 strike tiles out, for just 5 blue.

I made #2 on the IM40 tourney from earlier in the week; pretty happy with that, since I have a maxed IM40. Currently #1 in the Daken tourney, despite only have a piddly Lv. 83 Lazy Daken I hardly ever used (might as well just abuse the free Lv. 60 they give you)
Just goes to show you can still totally game the PVP system by using lower level teams* and fighting lower level opponents until they force you use to fight tough ones
*on average in this tourney, I tended to use default Lazy Daken, a lvl 100-166 3* character, and a Lv. 75-94 2* character and generally got opponents in the same range. I just kept swapping out characters to grind it out, now sitting at 530 points

Hulk mirror matches are so painful now that the rage power hurts your own team too...

(might as well just abuse the free Lv. 60 they give you)

omg I only just realized I could do this. .__.

Anyway, just got my 10-pack:
2 purple Lazy Dakens
1 black Mystique
1 yellow Falcon
Plus a purple Magnow that lets me respec him from 5/3/5 to 5/4/4.

So much better than the first two seasons.

Must've been a popular weekend - even though I broke the 50K point reward limit for Rocket and Groot PvE, still only ended up 413 out of 1000 in my bracket!
Tanked intentionally in the Rocket PvP to get another 2* Ms. Marvel card.
Will be grinding earnestly in the Psylocke tourney to get a Blade.

took my xforce to 201; can max at 229 only bc 3-3-5. Bleh bc 5-5-3 is where it's at but black at 3 is still strong

Managed to get all the progression awards in the PVE -- first time ever! -- but then got hammered in the Groot PVP, to the tune of ~150. So yeah, kind of over this game again.

Got the 10-pack. One Gold. But that was Nick Fury, who I didn't have, so I'm not complaining.

I got a Beast and Colossus in mine plus enough ISO to bring Hulk up to 127

Welp, my PVP strat finally crapped out for the Thor tourney. Getting hammered all the time. Thems the breaks

I read somewhere on the D3 fora that your opponents are based on the average level of your entire roster.

It definitely wasn't for the previous two tourneys, I was consistently getting low-mid range opponents using the method i described. I got knocked down today about 150 points, so I'm seeing weak ones again, but when I was in the Top 100 I was getting near full strength teams no matter how much I skipped.

They are really pumping out the new characters now. Good changes, too -- Loki is highly annoying now, and Daredevil is at least usable.

4-star Elektra?

okay I'm never going to stop playing this game

Since I never place high enough to earn 4* covers, that's how long it'll take for me to get an Elektra.

Awesome cover they used, though.

Incidentally I pulled my first Sentry cover from a Heroic token this week.

I can't believe how insanely great X-Force Wolverine is now; I'm so glad I never got rid of any of his covers when ppl were saying he was terrible and worthless (can't wait until they do the same to Invisible Woman)

step into the light

I liked Daredevil was he was, not sure about the new changes

LOL Complementary Heroic 10-pack because Season 8 ended early? Don't mind if I do.

They gave everyone the next big reward up the ladder.

I got a Mystique cover, for some weird reason. That was nice, the last 3-star I missed.

Got Falcon, Doc Ock, and Beast, as well as two 2* Ms. Marvels, good haul

currently taking Falcon to 166 as I turn to honing a pve team. He is super great

If you have Daken or Blade, sure.

yep. My Daken is badly speced at 3-5-5 but 166d. My blade is 2-2-5, hoping for a tourney with his covers soon. He's ace.

Got my Day 400 Nick Fury. WHAT A LIFE.

Is muscling through this Gauntlet event worth all the health packs I'm burning through?

I'm 4 missions from reaching the very end, but don't have a Captain Marvel to do the essential quests.

Then it's probably not worth it - you might be able to get the Mystique reward halfway through Tier 3, but the other ones need the full points
I got part way through Tier 2 and the grind was really annnoying me

I'm giving up on the third tier. Im just short of the gold token and five battles from mystique but it's too damn hard

I'm one victory from 50 Hero Points, but it's a 200-something Ladythor, Ragnarok, Loki. Fighting people with 14000 health. I love gauntlet, but it's probably too tough this time. And also, I'm beginning to suspect there's a glitch in new Loki, when he uses Illusions and makes a match, it seems he often gets a bonus purple match. Anyone else thinking that?

Did it! Storm, Magnow, loads of boosts. Next is 249 ** Black Widow, Colossus and Devil Dinosaur.

it just doesn't seem worth it

I don't know. It takes a lot less grinding than what it takes to get three ***-star covers out of a normal pve. And I always forget using boosts elsewhere.

I got the blue she hulk so that I'll be able to 166 my she hulk at 5-3-5 after this current pvp. yay I guess? I don't think I will 166 her for a long time. I want the mystique and loki green but it's just hard. & really I want ISO more than anything.

I finished it. Used a ton of boosts, but it was worth it in my opinion. The hardest node for me was Hood, Loki, Mystique, which I got through by using the match damage boosts.

Getting through one of those tough battles feels good in and of itself. Just got the 2000 iso reward. My She-hulk is weak, so that is a bit tough. Was this close before, in a long battle with Colossus as last man standing, with a nearly wipedout Captain Marvel and a She-hulk with health but no attacks. I needed one black to take him out, he needed one red. Just a rubbish board, trying desperately to make a black match, making sure he didn't get a red, and using she-hulk as much as possible. Finally got the black match! But then there were no more matches, and on the new board he immediately made a cascade that wiped Captain Marvel out, and then next turn Immovable Object + Colossal Punch. Game over. Darn!

Ugh, the mission to get the Mystique is 4* Thor, Rags, and Loki, all 212+. Not sure my roster can handle that.

BTW, is 2* Johnny Storm worth keeping?
