Beast is an awesome third teammate for the classic Loki/Patch combo btw since he covers blue and yellow well
Feel like Hulk and GSBW are better bets since they're more useful all-around; especially since you already have maxed Spidey, GSBW complements him very well. Shame they added that 30AP limit because before that you could just store up multiple Sniper Shots...
Hulk does well on any team that doesn't rely on strike/defense tiles. You won't regret lvling him or Psylocke as blue chippers

my lol was entirely for 69, not Beast himself

Some of the more hardcore players like to pair Hulk with Patch so that BR's enemy tiles will help trigger Anger, leading to (potentially) heavy cascades.

oh man, imagining multiple Sniper Shots without shaking/cascading and wau
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 5 August 2015 16:18 (eight years ago) link
Hulk is easy to down though with a big hitter like Cage or Cyclops or Mystique or X-Force. 1/20th of the time I'll fuck up and he'll get me way down but he's a softie that I regret 166ing

I didn't appreciate how ridiculous Cage's uppercut is until his recent event; even unbuffed, that thing is monstrous if you can unleash it with a full team standing (as soon as I max out Cage and Iron Fist, I'm trying a Cage/Fist/Falcon team to see how viable it is)
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 5 August 2015 16:25 (eight years ago) link
i would guess very much soi'm running falcon @140 (3/3/5), torch classic (same), classic mag @153 (5/5/3); it's good for several bouts at a go without healing

remember when they nerfed Classic Mags and people wailed "oh no, he will be unusable" even though he still is capable of stringing together an indefinite number of painful cascades and wiping out an entire opposing team by himself

CMags/Loki/Falcon sometimes goes horribly, spectacularly wrong but when it works, I think I take a total of 1K damage across all three characters during a match
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 5 August 2015 16:41 (eight years ago) link
Admittedly Hulk was a lot better before they nerfed Anger - it used to trigger a tile for EVERY 5% damage, now it's just one tile per hit, and it hurts your team if you trigger matches - but he's still got great HP, generates green and damages well
Not loving my max-power'd C.Mags, but maybe I need to bump him up to higher levels
― Nhex, Wednesday, 5 August 2015 16:43 (eight years ago) link
loki/falcon's collective lack of an offensive special leaves me a little leery of playing them that way; when i do that and mags gets croaked accidentally, i generally have to abandon the game or dig in for a fifteen minute matchfest. with my team, torch takes care of the black / green offense, mags does red/black offense and yellow defense, falcon handles purple / yellow defense; if i can get off a yellow or purple special, whatever damage i get is generally in the first seven matches.

Don't worry, I never get these new 4* characters.
Wouldn't even care and def not grinding for her except I can't progress in the ISO brotherhood quest :(

I found CMags a little on the lackluster side until I 166'd him at 5/4/4 and started pairing him with Loki. The combined red/blue/purple cascades tend to refill red/blue/purple, allowing you to fire off another cascade instantly, plus each blue can do up to 3K dmg before the cascade starts and, with proper teamup tile management, you can average 2-3K dmg on each red. At least 2 matches out of every 3 with this lineup, I hit a neverending string of cascades that let me down at least one character (and often the entire team) before the enemy can get off a special. It's even better in gauntlets where you can bank colors against NPCs and then enter waves with characters that do active matches with ~20 blue/red/purple and just rofflestomp on your first move.

Daken/Patch still my staple team, with Daredevil, Mystique, or Falcon as the third. LOLzy thing with Mystique is that her purple/black combo can already do 7K damage on its own -- if I cast BR first and then have her do her thing, that's a one-hit on mostly anyone, plus a two-turn stun.

Cmags goes well with other board shakers, especially Loki.

166d Rocket and Groot yesterday just bc I like the colors covered
Guess I'm gonna 166 Loki now, from the 141 I'd had him at for months. He's too tempting for attacks in pvp it seems.

discovering that I could beat most of the non-ninja Big Enchilada waves with 2* BW/Storm/Cap Marvel has been a boon to my 3* teams
kind of fun to spam CM's team-up tile ability when the board is too spread out - two rounds clears out a lot of crap
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 10 August 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link
I would love an event where you could have a reserve member like some of those wave nodes because most of my favorite comps right now don't have healing ability and it drives me crazy when things go south given that I got to this point on the backs of teams that could throw out emergency heals if my opponent got off a bad but not fatal attack

next: gonna finally 166 Gray Suit, mostly because her color combo is useful (e.g. with Daken and Cyclops)

just threw a match to ensure I'd land out of the top 100 and snag a needed 2* cover instead of another 3* that won't help me today. I guess I'm down the rabbit hole...

ONE OF US.
So tempted to splurge on my tacos to try to get another blue Hood and maybe some Cyclops covers, but there's a better lineup in a couple weeks.
Hah, went fishing anyway and got the blue Hood after 2 pulls. I saw the Hood cover but the game teased me by taking forever to reveal the color.
