More first world MPQ problems: getting a Green X-Force Wolverine card, can't use it because I'm maxed out on that color. Boohiss.

I spent money on this game today for the first time. I've been playing daily for 421 days; I figure the devs can enjoy a few beers on me for that. using the hp I'd been saving + what I got from the buy, I picked up two x-force covers, and now have him at 5-4-4, l253. he is a holy terror now: his green costs 8 and does like 4-5k plus gets you ap from the cascades. I'll be 270ing obv and hoping for another black cover soon, but already this is serious business.

maxed my hulk today too; now have 12 166'd 3 stars in addition to my mondo xforce. after xforce I guess I'll put something into steve rogers, or maybe blade after this pvp since I have him at 1-2-5 already and I'll get at least 2 covers from combined arms.

Yeah, I had a similar rationale for finally buying IAP for Puzzle and Dragons (about 520 days in) last week, which of course got me crappy draws. MPQ tends to burn me out and I come back sooner or later, so I'm sure I'll cave at some point.
What did you end up getting, a Heroic 10-pack?

no I just bought 2 xforce covers, a green and a black one. I don't like gambling on 10 packs. I got 5 heroics from placing top 100 in the season, and drew my usual bevy of 2 stars.

apparently doom is getting a third power? the new loki totally kills, wish I'd draw some green since I have him at 5-5 black-purple already.

After this Simulator event ends (current pace has me getting 1 Luke Cage cover), I'm going on another break.

So in the meantime, I got that yellow Patch, so now mine is 5/4/2.

yellow is his most crucial cover; mine's at 4-4-5 b/c I don't want 5 green (kills me as much as the enemy) but I fire red too infrequently to go 5 in it.

I agree, the autoheal is his best ability. but you should be teaming him up with someone like Daredevil, Loki, Falcon, etc. anyway to negate the drawbacks of the green attack - i'd still go 5/3/5 if given the chance

Mine's at 5 green because I've pulled 6 of them so far and I just wanted to level him up. It's definitely dangerous, but still useful. Bringing in Hulk is good because often when the enemy attacks it'll trigger Anger; I've also had a lot of fun pairing him up with OBW and getting the Espionage double-dip bonus damage (esp. when she matches away the purple tiles).

Doom's new passive should go well with Patch's green.

OMG just realized that, if you're lucky, Daredevil's Red trap tile can actually combo onto itself and damage each time its matched, pretty sick

Doom's new passive should go well with Patch's green.

Uhhhhh maybe I'll quit this next week.

Was happy to get a Squirrel Girl, but ugh The Hunt AGAIN.. it's just too many damn missions.

I hate the hunt. nice to get 8 hour refreshes though in pve

Squirrel Girl is kind of hilarious

she's awesome!

I got one purple squirrel girl and right now I'm annoyed at how many essential nodes in the hunt require me to use here, where with one cover she's useless. at least buffed her purple does 800 damage though.

working on 166ing my blade (3-5-5) he is fuuuuuuuuuuun esp with my maxed falcon

Fortunately the animation on her purple skill is consistently hilarious. I want a cartoon "BOOOOOING" sound to go with it.

otm

... why do I find that COVERSQUIRREL pun so amusing...

Because it's awesome!

I'm going to have to take a break from this game this week, but after I get that Blade from Season X, and maybe after I get that 10-pack, &c.

that 10-pack reward is def. the best/only incentive to keep me in the game much of the time

was going to take a few days off, but this PvP with 2x ISO and Blade covers? i'm in.

Got the 10 pack: Captain Marvel red, and 2250 ISO.

Everyone wants those Blade covers from the Squirrel Girl event, which means that I'm not going to be able to.

blade covers but x2 iso is where it's at

yay, Blade tourney is also x2 iso. but i'm not gonna place anywhere good in these because of the increased players

Top 50 requirement for Starlord = not gonna try

Pulled a green 4* Wolverine, brings him to 214, but still not worth leveling him yet, right?

Right :( He needs 5 green or 5 black.

There are two more 2x ISO tournaments coming soon according to d3. Blade and Thor.

my 5-5-3 270 xforce is sooooooo fun

Star-lord + Devil Dino is gonna rock.

x-force wolvie is worth leveling at that point, i think, but you gotta get him over lvl 125-ish before you start seeing results

10 pack results: 1 invisible woman (which by terrible chance was the one color I had maxed out) and 1 hulk (useless)

I have a level 152 1/2/4 XF Wolvie and he sucks.

yeah it's really only at 5 green and/or 5 black where he takes over

yeah you're right - i just checked the wiki and there are huge improvements at lvl 5 for both
that's what I get for going by my gut

didn't realize lvl 5 black gives you AP also!

I have a 188 Wolvie at 2/4/3 and he's basically the cornerstone of my team between his healing and his ability to clear the board; cannot WAIT for 5/5/3

Right now my default team is 188 X-Force, 166 IM40, 153 Classic Spider-Man and I can steamroll almost anyone aside from lvl 270 super-buffed nonsense and there I just need to start with the right boosts (basically use Spidey to freeze the most dangerous character and IM40 as a Spidey battery/red nuke and X-Force to reset the board/black nuke)

yeah the ap steal with black is hilarious; maxed hulks become a joke because you save them until last, have enough black for a surgical strike, take them down a bunch but also get enough green to follow it immediately with an xforce. he's downed in one turn from full.

10-pack results:
Human Torch (black)
Falcoln (purple)
Punisher (black)

nice

10-pack results:
10 2-star covers

Bought 3- and 8-hour shields, just to get a green Loki. Time for a break dammit.

Think I've finally lost interest in this. Too hard keeping up with the myriad new ***-star characters as a casual player, while my existing roster languishes without new covers since drop rates are so low.

Mostly, though, it's just that the core match mechanic isn't that fun anymore. With the game as grindy as it is, all those character animations and loading screens make each match into a real drag. I wish there were an option to turn them off.

Loki's green passive is pretty great.

yeah, those loading screens have often been enough to turn me off the game for a while. portable games like this shouldn't have loading times imo

top fifty in the season! I get a ten pack for that.

got my Loki to 5-5-3; 3-5-5 the killer build now though. he's my current ISO project.

Got a green Loki from the tourney, and Red Lady Thor from a Heroic Token from the season ending, good weekend

pulled a black Cage from my ten pack, nothing else useful. still, have my Loki up to 110ish already.

Is it worth it to respec 2* Daken to 5 blue?
