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)

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
― Nhex, Saturday, 13 December 2014 00:33 (nine years ago) link
currently taking Falcon to 166 as I turn to honing a pve team. He is super great

If you have Daken or Blade, sure.
― poxy fülvous (abanana), Saturday, 13 December 2014 13:23 (nine years ago) link
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.

Is muscling through this Gauntlet event worth all the health packs I'm burning through?
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Sunday, 14 December 2014 07:38 (nine years ago) link
I'm 4 missions from reaching the very end, but don't have a Captain Marvel to do the essential quests.
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Sunday, 14 December 2014 07:39 (nine years ago) link
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 pointsI got part way through Tier 2 and the grind was really annnoying me
― Nhex, Sunday, 14 December 2014 07:42 (nine years ago) link
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
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 14 December 2014 08:05 (nine years ago) link
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?
― Frederik B, Sunday, 14 December 2014 10:18 (nine years ago) link
Did it! Storm, Magnow, loads of boosts. Next is 249 ** Black Widow, Colossus and Devil Dinosaur.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 14 December 2014 12:39 (nine years ago) link
it just doesn't seem worth it
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 14 December 2014 12:46 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 14 December 2014 12:52 (nine years ago) link
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.
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 14 December 2014 12:55 (nine years ago) link
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.
― poxy fülvous (abanana), Sunday, 14 December 2014 15:11 (nine years ago) link
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!
― Frederik B, Sunday, 14 December 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link
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?
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Sunday, 14 December 2014 19:54 (nine years ago) link
I don't think so, but I don't use 2 stars at all anymore unless they're buffed, so I dunno.
my steve rogers is cover maxed but not 166d so this pvp is rough. he's fun to play with but soooooo slow so I've skipped leveling him (well, I have him at 110 or so) in favor of more usable characters. he's good in pve, like hulk; so they're in the queue to level, though really I want to get Blade playable before anything (well, & get 2 more green & 2 more black xforce covers: have him at 229, 3-3-5 but that's a lame spec for making noise in pvp)

― Nhex, Sunday, 14 December 2014 21:21 (nine years ago) link
with so many characters i am constantly desperate for ISO though
― Nhex, Sunday, 14 December 2014 21:22 (nine years ago) link
any of you still playing this want to join an alliance? we look for 650-700 min pvp, lately been pushing harder in pve b/c of all the new characters, but nobody spends (much) money & it's pretty laid back. we've been top 100 every season.
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 14:48 (nine years ago) link
dude 650 PVP is pretty hardcore
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 14:57 (nine years ago) link
You actually need a souped up featured character to make that + hours of grinding every weekend
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link
yeah I guess? I hit 8-900 most pvps but I have like 10 166s + a 229 xforce and most 3 stars that aren't 166d I have cover maxed or close. so it's not so hard for me. I do grind a bit, probably play 30-60 mins a day, sometimes a bit more. but yeah.
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 15:01 (nine years ago) link
even if you do a full 166 team, once you start hitting other full 166 teams doesn't it completely grind your progress? i'll usually hit that point around 500pts
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 15:09 (nine years ago) link
not all 166s teams are equal though; and I don't hit that wall until 600 usually. after that though the amount of buff for the featured character matters (since the buffs are nonlinear I think?)
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 15:19 (nine years ago) link
that sounds correct - at full 166, you get boosted all the way to 249. fairly sure you don't get that many levels added for weaker characters
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link
actually, i'm not so sure nm
my steve rogers is like 110 but he was only buffed to 167, whereas 166s were buffed to like 249 I think

btw I'm ok with revised Daredevil now. Changes to blue (Billy Club) are ok but beefing up Purple and Red were very nice changes. Purple is good against strike/protect tile spammers and the Red is even more brutal since you can loop the attack
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 19:30 (nine years ago) link
This.
Strangely, I was getting all lollipops as my opponents in the Shulk PVP. Didn't stop me from losing once to a 2* Thorverine combo that probably averaged level 65 because of stupid play.
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link
my daredevil's been at 5-4-4 for a long time, but I haven't leveled him much (maybe he's ~50 or 60?). what's a good spec for him now?
I am loving my newly beefy Falcon: with Patch's green after a couple yellow matches I'm doing 2-3k per match
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 20:10 (nine years ago) link
regarding Daredevil: 5 purple can work well with Patch with 5 green. otherwise 3/5/5.
