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?
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Saturday, 29 August 2015 03:43 (eight years ago) link
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

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
― Nhex, Saturday, 29 August 2015 05:44 (eight years ago) link
^^ 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?

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.

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

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

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.
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 4 September 2015 16:15 (eight years ago) link
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.)
― :wq (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2015 16:40 (eight years ago) link
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?
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 4 September 2015 16:44 (eight years ago) link
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).
― :wq (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2015 16:51 (eight years ago) link
Finally got marginally useful His, i.e. 5/5/1, whom does he pair well with?
― :wq (Leee), Saturday, 5 September 2015 06:50 (eight years ago) link
Hood, rather.
― :wq (Leee), Saturday, 5 September 2015 06:51 (eight years ago) link
Feels kind of toned down now (like many of the older 3*s), but he's good with AP stealers (Loki, Mystique)
― Nhex, Saturday, 5 September 2015 08:15 (eight years ago) link
And... Hulk? Maybe?
Cap + Hood is great.

Don't bother with the final Gauntlet if you don't have Mr. Fantastic -- he's required. I got past the ridiculous level 395 4*DP/Iron Fist/Luke Cage node with Patch and Loki, only to discover that I get nothing for it.
40 packs of heroic tokens now come with one legendary token, which gives a 5% chance of giving the 5* Silver Surfer. There is already a player with three 5* SS covers.

I'm just aiming for the red LCap in the Gauntlet, then I'm forgetting about this game for a while (i.e. until the new season starts next week).

ugh I played a lot of gauntlet a couple days ago, opened the third gauntlet but didn't start it, b/c I sorta wanted the yellow thoress (mine's 4/3/3, 5/3/5 better but 270's the first aim). guess I won't bother! which is good b/c I don't have time anyway.

roger, yeah, not bad. 10-pack really just a reward for consistent playing, I think you just need to do ~170 points a day in PVP. Don't know how it is for a new player, though.
Got my LCap, he's 4/5/3 now -- halfway usable in PVEs now! From the sound of it, I don't want to even bother with the third Gauntlet PVE. How hard is it to get the Scarlet Witch cover?
― :wq (Leee), Thursday, 10 September 2015 16:59 (eight years ago) link
yeah I'm thinking about going for the Scarlet Witch cover, I have a bit more time the next couple of days.
Quicksilver is really annoying to play/play against. not as bad as Daken was initially, but bad.
