I've come to the conclusion that Modern Cap is cheat mode, esp. when boosted; I effectively used him and Loki to steamroll almost every team I encountered in the Falcon PvP and he isn't even maxed out
What was your strategy? Wait for the enemy to get a match-4 to pick up red/blue AP with Loki, then start stunning and bonking people with Cap?
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 00:34 (eight years ago) link
I didn't even bother with blue tbh; just got enough red to star dropping 4k Avenging Shields on ppl and used Loki's black to turn any enemy Falcon shield tiles into friendly strike tiles.
Cap/Falcon/Spidey was another good combo because I could boost Spidey's shields with Falcon's yellow, then drop the accumulated purple on Falcon shields and make myself virtually invulnerable to match damage and about 50% of the specials I faced; the specials that hurt me were so cut down by the shields that they could be easily healed by Spidey's yellow
― DJP, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 04:38 (eight years ago) link
(Plus Spidey's blue = rolling stuns)
― DJP, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 04:39 (eight years ago) link
but you're missing black and green on that team... doesn't that cause problems against certain match-ups, especially since those are the probably the strongest colors
― Nhex, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link
Not as much of a problem as you'd think if you can get a rolling stun going with Spidey on whomever the most dangerous character is while you build up yr defense. I obliterated a ton of X-Forces and Fat Thors in 3-4 hits and, if they hit me once, I usually had enough yellow banked for Spidey to pull the team out of danger with a heal.
I don't know if I'd recommend it for events where Falcon/ModCap/Spidey aren't all buffed but I ended up in... 16th place? on the Falcon event without shielding.
― DJP, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 17:59 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, there was something about the Falcon event -- I didn't bother shielding, lost 100+ points, and still ended up in the top 100.
Also I like this new match-making system that regularly gives me opponents worth 50+ points.
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 18:27 (eight years ago) link
fyi I'm doing a similar steamroll using Cap Marvel/Steve Rogers/Spidey

btw when are they gonna nerf Iron Fist, holy shit
― Nhex, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 18:54 (eight years ago) link
they'll nerf him when i get my 10th cover

Got a fifth yellow for Mr magnet, but the Wikia and the D3 forums have pretty divergent opinions on his best build, especially with his yellow. Should I sell it or level it up to 5? Also at 4 red and 1 blue right now.
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Sunday, 7 June 2015 16:36 (eight years ago) link
My strategy is to use whatever covers I can get so I can max level the character, then adjust the build later
― DJP, Sunday, 7 June 2015 17:03 (eight years ago) link
makes sense
― Nhex, Sunday, 7 June 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link
ditto.

ugh it stings when open a regular token and you get a 4* card (in this case, Invisible Woman/Green) that you've already maxed outi know i know, first world MPQ problems
― Nhex, Monday, 8 June 2015 20:10 (eight years ago) link
I’d kill for a maxed out 4*.

not the character, just that color...
― Nhex, Monday, 8 June 2015 20:15 (eight years ago) link
(actually it was a Heroic token so not that crazy)
― Nhex, Monday, 8 June 2015 20:17 (eight years ago) link
Is it just me or is there a Hulk bug on his passive, where (from the nerf) he's only supposed to generate a rage countdown tile once per hit, but when you fight the AI it still acts like it used to (one rage tile for every 5% damage)
― Nhex, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 05:32 (eight years ago) link
Going back to my selective cover leveling, my reasoning is that I'd rather have that 500 ISO than a non-optimal character. I think that this is more relevant to someone like Lazy Cap, since anything less than -/4/4 is somewhat useless (well maybe not, looking at his powers again, he can be useful in PVP). (I don't know about Classic Mags, though, esp. at potentially 5/4/1.) I'm also feeling pretty good about my 3* roster, so the need to just get some character's level higher isn't that urgent.
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 01:07 (eight years ago) link
Loki or GSBW might be a better example than Lazy Cap.
yeah, but a leveled character is what it's all about anyway. once you get em maxed out, you can tinker with cover replacements after and 500 iso is nothing. even for 5k iso i don't think i'd not use a 3star cover regardless of if it were optimal.

forks otm
10 health packs now??
― Nhex, Thursday, 11 June 2015 02:42 (eight years ago) link
10-pack results: Falcon (Blue), Classic Mags (Red), Iron Fist (Green), Deadpool (Purple) AND (Black)! Pretty good haul, though I couldn't use the Falcon and Mags cards.
― Nhex, Sunday, 14 June 2015 18:32 (eight years ago) link
Nice!
Using Patch against a black Carnage is ~complicated~.

I started playing this just a little again; can I join your alliance? I don't want to have to be counted on to play daily or whatever, but I'd be happy to contribute to whatever ends you have in mind.

today's deadpool got me my fifth green gsbwidow card and lets me level her up to 153... her green attack currently does 3500 dmg to all enemies; between that and the purple green creator, she's gonna be a fun get out of jail free card

I'm still playing this but I haven't really been adding any purple stuff (I can't remember what it's called even, what's wrong with me) so I have amassed a fortune... 125000 or so purple stuffs. Are any of these guys worth boosting yet?

Torch has proven awful useful, even at the low end of the 100s
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 19:50 (eight years ago) link
Those are all 3 star versions btw except Xforce obviously.
Kinda tempted to boost Dr Doom, even at that lower level his purple could come in handy with my lack of top-tier purple options. Blade and Squirrel still too low to really consider, Widow's p useless until I get more greens, Spiderman is a maybe? Psylocke isn't inspiring esp. since I usually have a dude whose black or red I like... maybe Falcon? I need your guidance, ILX-Statix.
xp didn't even consider torch b/c I usually roll out Pun or Hulk, why is he so useful?
― Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 19:53 (eight years ago) link
cmon kick some rando for meeeee
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link
torch's green, unleashed with 15 green in reserve, does like 1400 per turn; the black is a great nuisance and the red is a solid attack with none of hulk's blowback.
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 20:10 (eight years ago) link
"Purple stuff" you mean the not-Sunny D?
I like Torch's red because it's great bang for your buck -- cheap and does lots of damage.
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 20:22 (eight years ago) link
I'm playing this goddamn game again.
Last week was my first time pulling a three star I didn't need. It ruined my whole day.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 16 June 2015 20:39 (eight years ago) link
I have maxed Spidey and IM40; basically, if you can get Recharge to go off with all three countdowns intact, you are about 75% guaranteed a win because you can lock down everyone with Spidey's blue and then nuke them with IM40's red. Then, you only have to worry about getting enough blue to tide you over for the rolling stuns and getting enough yellow to fire off another recharge and reload IM40's red. (Since my IM40 is at 166, I also use X-Force's green to chip away at health and shake up the board before throwing out another recharge.)
Note that when this strategy doesn't work, it goes south super fast.
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 20:52 (eight years ago) link
hey Euler - there's always a rando every week or so that stops playing the game - when that happens i'll kick the, and post here
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 June 2015 00:11 (eight years ago) link
My 10 pack:Yellow KamalaBlue Rags
At least one of those is useful.
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 05:29 (eight years ago) link
hoping i can pull through the carnage event in the top 25, get a blue and red mags and hit his cover max tomorrowdream big!
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 05:31 (eight years ago) link
Will M: Definitely Captain America. Maybe Doom and X-Force. 3*s are cheap to level up to 120 and 4*s can go to 172 or so cheaply.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 09:17 (eight years ago) link
I... took nobody's advice and leveled CMags. But it only cost like 20% of my purple stuff to max him to ~120, so I think I might still do one of these other ones.
Man so purple gems/powers are really borderline useless at the 3* level, eh?
― Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 14:35 (eight years ago) link
Steve Rogers Cap is a good choice; his red is great once you get it going
Also there is nothing useless about GSBW's purple, especially if you have maxed out green as well
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 14:37 (eight years ago) link
that definitely makes sense, i actually got her to 3/5/2 thanks to the daily deadpool, i am considering boosting her up to 120 as well (even if it's jsut to have her as a green battery)
― Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 14:53 (eight years ago) link
once you get her last green cover, she's a monster.purple also okay for spidey if you have two heavy hitters and want to play him defensively.
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 16:42 (eight years ago) link

RIP Spidey, you were a great slow play character but I think now I want to just melt faces
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 16:47 (eight years ago) link
right? the issue is that you won't be able to continuously play for as long as the shields aren't there, but who cares
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 16:49 (eight years ago) link
gsbw / old bullseye / new thor = game on imo
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 16:50 (eight years ago) link
I might choose spidey over old Bullseye for the last-ditch team heal
Actually I wonder how well I could roll with Spidey/GSBW/XForce
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 16:53 (eight years ago) link
fairly well i would imagine but the matches might be slow; how levelled is your xforce?
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 16:54 (eight years ago) link
also, since the team heal doesn't carry from match to match, that's only useful in case you're losing and i daresay nobody's gonna knock you off with gsbw/nuthor/+1 on anything less than a full team at half health unless you're drastically punching above your weight
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 17 June 2015 16:55 (eight years ago) link
187 I think? My team is confined to my iPad so I can't check atm (although if you're in the alliance, you can look for me lol)
