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.

My IF is 4/3/4 and I haven't hit 15K in Oscorp yet so I've got another black cover coming. IF/Falcon/Classic Mags is kind of a devastating combo, especially with all 3 buffed.

yes & today a blue CMags in Deadpool Daily! respec'd mine to 3-5-5 166, fuckin A

Yeah, I've been stomping all over Oscorp with:

166 CMags (3/5/5)
166 Falcon (5/5/3)
now 130 IF (4/3/4, soon to be 4/3/5)

I've learning this week with Kamala Khan buffed that she is also one of the toughest characters in the game right now. it's not true healing but that autoheal after each power drags out battles, while she saves up for another green area attack.

Yeah her stock has been trending up for a while now; I wish I had more covers for her because I'd be ramping her up with IF

yes; and Luke Cage + IF looks great too.

now that I've 166d Gray Suit I wish I'd done so a long time ago; her color combo (green + purple) is an excellent complement to the usual hard hitters, who lean on red, yellow and black. ditto with IF and KK. then you have a third spot you can plug with a utility player like Loki or Hood or Falcon & not worry about missing a color.

Kamala is pretty damn awesome in the buffed events. Too many characters on the road to 166 tho - finishing up Steve Rogers, Super Soldier (man, how weird was all the Capt. America/Sam Wilson/Steve Rogers name switching this last update) and C. Mags. Not sure where to go from there - Kamala, Rocket, Loki and Blade all look good, but I have a lot of 3*s to max lvl

Blade is incredible, esp if you can run him with a team where red isn't a priority, or with Hood. & Blade + Falcon in PVE, esp in the wave events, I can take down several waves in a row just with his attack tiles, doing ~3000 damage per turn

Pulled another Hulkbuster from a Deadpool token!

Falcon/Daken/Blade is my new favorite team to do the non-ninja Big Enchilada. (I have Daken in there because my Blade only has like 2 green or whichever color generates the strike tiles.)

PVE hasn't looked to be worth the effort in quite a while. To get the guaranteed 3*, you've got to max out the points and I never seem to make much headway in the rankings. Doing much better in PVP overall.

The not-so-secret trick to PVE is to make it to the final day -- the missions reward you more points the farther behind you are from the leaders. It still takes some time commitment, but I've basically clear all the nodes of a sub-mission once, then return to easier high-point missions once their values have reset (so basically play PVE at most twice a day), and I've been able to nab the final progression reward.

This PVP was a beast to get to 800 for the green KK cover but I just did it. My KK is ~230 buffed but the 290 KKs I'm matched against are so tough, with steady group healing and that green blast doing 6000+. Now I'm at 5-3-4, almost usable.

still haven't figured out how to avoid getting whacked with massively OP opponents. figure this is a noob thing that will sort itself as i level up?

not really; you gotta skip those fights, or tank (start the fight with crappy chars you won't use anyway, quit and lose immediately). you'll lose points, so try to tank high point value fights - you'll lose less. in any case your match ups get less powerful when you lose

thank u based commander

np!

btw i love that Carnage/Sentry/Daken team-up mission they give you in the root Prodigal Sun set; fun to just destroy everyone with their suicidal powers since you don't have to care about team health

^^ this. i'm super impressed too by the way the game designers interpret those characters. like carnage's insane special tile create/smash cycle is hysterical fun and all of sentry's powers are so depressing you don't even want to use them.

I'll use Sentry's yellow power because who cares if he dies?

FYI: I've got a 0/5 Modern Black Widow for anyone requesting team-ups!

10 pack covers
Elektra black x2, her best power
Spider-Man blue, now 3/5/5
Sentry yellow, already maxed
6 junk

Mohawk Storm pwning me hard in the Widow event right now.

Two Elektras, dammnnnnnnn

yeah buffed Mohawk Storm is scary

10 pack: usable Starlord, two useless 3 stars, rest 2s

I've been too busy to play much beyond keeping up with the daily Deadpool, so I just started the Gray Widow tourney tonight - picked the latest stopping point and I guess it was pretty much empty because I was in 50th without even playing and after ten or eleven games I'm holding tight in the top 10.

10 pack results: Black X-Force Wolvie (yes! brings me to 5/5/2) , 1 Blue Falcon (can't use), 1 Red Punisher (can't use), rest 2*s

Surprised it took this long for them to a)get Reed Richards into the game and b)create a card has abilities dependent/reactive to team members, in this case having other FF cards

5* Silver Surfer announced. 5* Wolverine also rumored.

5*? omg those motherfuckers

It will never end. If Silver Surfer is 5 stars, how many is Galactus?

I'd always hoped that the first 5* would be Flat Man or Paste Pot Petel

fuck it, eight star stilt man

Is that Stilt-Man (Classic) or Stilt-Man (Turk)?

Stilt-Man (Ultimates)

I'm kinda bummed about 5 stars tbh, makes my growing army of 3 stars seem puny. but I ain't spending any more money on this game, just that $20 I paid a while back for HP on some sale. it's just that it's hard enough to get 4 star covers, and there are so many of them that getting them playable takes forever. I did get a second hulkbuster this week on a LR token at least.

I also hate myself for playing this when I think how they've added barely any new story/pve content since that first autumn. like, the hunt? again? against yes more daken moonstone rags venom. it's so dumb to fight those again again again when there's now tons of new covers. I grinded a couple of pves lately b/c I wanted the progression 3 star & I was thinking of trying for top 150 to get the quicksilver since I don't have any of his covers yet but I cannot be fucked to grind this boring ass group of enemies for the millionth time.

been working on my squirrel girl again, took KK to 153 5-3-4, squirrel girl at 5-5-3 151 now, gonna 166 her but I'd prefer a different spec I think.

Totally feel you -- it's the inflation that DDQ has caused. When they're giving out a 3* cover every day, it cheapens the tier, so now they're focusing on making the 4* level the new default heavy-hitters and creating a new ceiling with the 5*.

But as for lack of new content, this seems potentially fun/agonizing:

• Last, but not least! We’re adding a new mission type to Deadpool’s Daily Quest. Every 5 days, there will be a very challenging face-off mission between one particular 4-Star and one opponent. Beat that mission and you’ll get a Legendary pack. (The first mission of this type will appear on 9/15.)

wow that sounds fun! I guess I will have to read more but that does that mean you have to use a 4 star to win that battle?

That's my guess, and it sounds like a one-on-one match. And given the way DDQ is set up now, if you don't have that 4*, you're locked out (and that'll be the case for me most of the time).

Finally got marginally useful His, i.e. 5/5/1, whom does he pair well with?

Hood, rather.

Feels kind of toned down now (like many of the older 3*s), but he's good with AP stealers (Loki, Mystique)
