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.

omg frantic tanking can't lose matches fast enough

got the 2000 shield sim 4* carnage just in the brink of time

haha nice. it's a bear getting up to 2000

Powered up Modern Thor is such a steamroller. I wish Kamala Khan was higher than 2/2/2 level 76, her healing and green creation make him almost unstoppable.

buffed Psylocke is kind of terrifying

I love her

I kind of want to pair her with Doom so she can flood the board with attack tiles

Even her "useless" blue is sometimes a complete and utter lifesaver

btw I had a great match the other day. I was playing with xforce deadpool and rocket & groot (all maxed). xf & dp got downed, r/g down to < 2000...but I get a yellow match and so he's back at full. then I down their iron fist & cyclops, think it's just doom left. he's at ~7000, but the if tile is still knocking me down. eventually I'm down to 1 hp, and no yellow match in sight...but I have a deadly precision teamup that I use to engineer a yellow match, so r/g back to 7000! even then I only ended up winning with like 300 hp, but still, it was hilarious. & exactly why I 166d rocket & groot.

Haha nice!

How is your R/G built?

5-4-4 right now: probably better at 5-3-5 or 5-5-3 but 5 yellow is the key for deflating hilarity

Opinions on best Blade build? Have him at 5/5/3 now - feel like his actives are better than his passive ability, which at level 5 gives you two strike tiles, though each with less power than the single strike tile at level 3.

Love my R+G at 5/3/5 - besides the lol heal ability, the blue attack tiles are really really good too. The green attack is OK but too random IMO (especially compared to Beast's). Would love to 166 him at some point.

my blade 166 is 3-5-5; black is too good an offensive color so I wanted to downplay it for him. & the more red strike tiles the better his purple is.

Yeah 5-3-5 r/g seems best, I'll respec when I get the cover

so far of the characters I've 166'd, the only one who has been underwhelming is The Hood, and that's largely because his awesome 5.7K nuke also ends the turn, which makes it less awesome, and his steal requires 9 tiles on the board in the critical color you care about, which has burned me in various matches

OTOH I feel like I'm going to have a hard time not running Loki, Psylocke, GSBW, Patch, Fat Thor, Colossus AND Beast once I get them leveled.

Beast?

I do love how he changes from reading a book to trying to eat your face off

basically anyone who throws out special tiles is wind-up fodder for Falcon in my book, who is pretty much my favorite team member thanks to his yellow

I've had matches (usually gauntlets) with him where I've ended up with multiple 2K protect tiles on the board

yeah falcon lazy cap luke cage is ruling so hard in the pvp right; all at 290!

Falcon + blade is so fun

haha yes it was a buffed lazy Cap where I made myself invulnerable, it was kind of hilarious

Beast is totally BEAST bro, so slept on

I've had unexpectedly terrible games playing against Beast or Shulkie.

She-Hulk or Squirrel Girl will be my next 166, after I finish Gray Suit (at ~150 now)

She-Hulk is the only character I can think of that the UI seems to be able to use better than I can ;_;

lol I meant AI, oops

no totally, they fuck me up with her, that's why I'm looking to level her. I dunno, it'll be between her, Squirrel Girl, and Daredevil, once I finish Gray Suit during the next seven or so days. though my Squirrel Girl is badly covered at 5-5-3, 3-5-5 would be way better I think. but she's a beast.

Nice that I was able to get 3 Enemy of the State tokens without grinding too hard during lunch.

Been pulling my hair out trying to stay in the Top 150 for that Cyclops card. Totally not worth it, in retrospect

omg a week of endless grinding so I can end up at #158 FUCK THIS GAME

fuck pve obv

OTM, I've barely played PVE in the past couples months.

I mean I'd love the iron fist in the current pve but I'm not gonna grind and grind and grind.

yesterday I was desperate for some ISO to get the last level for 166ing Gray Suit. so I went to the prologue (LRs were over and the pvp is hilariously not a guaranteed win with 3 290s against 3 290s). I had to grind and grind and grind some dumb missions and after like 10 tries I got a 500 pot of it. suuuucked.

but that's my 22nd 166! now working on Squirrel Girl

my 166s are: black panther, grey suit, blade, cyclops, taken, deadpool, doctor doom, human torch, model 40, loki, luke cage, magneto, mystique, psylocke, rocket and groot, falcon, lazy cap, hood, hulk, punisher, thor, patch.

have xforce at 270, invisible woman at 5-4-4 167 but I haven't really thrown ISO at her yet. doesn't yet seem worth it.

I also have spidey, daredevil, storm, raggie, squirrel girl, colossus, captain marvel, she hulk, and beast cover maxed, ready to 166. probably gonna go with she hulk and then daredevil after squirrel girl. then I dunno: storm? cap marvel? beast? colossus? raggie? spidey? in roughly that order though I hope to get iron fist, kamela khan and scarlet witch fully covered before long.

black panther 5-3-5
grey suit 5-3-5
blade 3-5-5
cyclops 5-3-5
daken 5-5-3

noob problems: so many useless 3*/4* covers sitting unclaimed in my queue

Are you opening tokens when you get them? It's best to wait open them only when you have roster space to add new characters, otherwise you run the risk of having desirable covers that may expire. (Tokens don't expire.)

haha you bet I am ;)

Totally get the strategy, but I'm still at the stage where my core 2* need more covers. Once they're competitive I figure I can slow down. That said, the temptation to buy hero points and/or sell Hawkeye and Moonstone is strong.

i.e. how can you ask me not to open that token IT COULD BE THORVERINE

In that case maybe just open standard tokens? Farm ISO for junk you don't want, lesser chance of pulling a 3*.

BTW I sold my Hawkeye pretty early, he might help with some goon battles but I survived without him. Moonstone's powers were changed a few months ago, she might be viable, but I never used her either.

In other news: I pulled a Hulkbuster from my Enemy of the State tokens!

Which Hawkeye? IMO ** Hawkeye is a top tier character now that they replaced Avoid with Speed Shot

1* - he was v helpful early but is not doing much for me now.

Ah. Yeah sell that IMO

I always pull special/heroic tokens immediately. Never know when the MPQ gods will smile and give you a 3* you need or even a 4* (just got another Prof X last week)

Regular tokens I just pull whenever since 95% of them will be sold for iso

I like waiting till I have 40 standard tokens and then opening them because there's about a 2% chance of pulling a 3* or better, and so they feel less like an exercise in futility.

Oh brother, I went up too high in the Vision PVP without bothering to shield and have been getting hammered all day.

I... might win my Osborne Corp bracket. Prob a top 10 finish at least.

yer crazy!!

Go Dan go!

I got the Oscorp Iron Fist just now, I've been grinding hard for that. IF is top 5 in the game right now, and now mine's 1-1-5, with the 5 in black, his best color. probably the only character I'm tempted to use my 10K HP stash & buy covers.

I drew a red Lady Thor yesterday, have her at 4-3-3 now. I know she's not #1 in the game anymore but she's a nice character, I'll be happy to 270 her eventually.

& I'm 37 in my Oscorp bracket, and I don't even want the Sentry covers (I sold a 166 Sentry after the nerf, he's terrible now). #1 would be nice, otherwise I was only grinding for the IF.
