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

And... Hulk? Maybe?

Cap + Hood is great.

10 pack:
Cyclops yellow
Falcon blue and purple, both useless

Other pulls:
Cyclops black, can 166 him once I get another 10k ISO.
Kamala purple, useless

Cyclops is badass

Got a 2nd Hulkbuster off a LR token

Guess I'm gonna start leveling my 4 stars once I 166 Squirrel Girl (so probably Wednesday, 160 right now before DPD today)

hmm not sure if bouncy reed is an improvement over fat ben

it is decidedly not

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.

balls. gonna come up short of the 10 pack this season. oh well got grey widow okay for a noob I guess.

Lvl 395? oh the hell with that

Lvl 395 Iron Fist's attack tile does 1138 damage.

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?

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.

the pseudo-Russian Roulette nature of QvQ battles reminds me of the endless Raging Tempest loops you used to get with CStorm vs CStorm, which does make me smile

xposts Leee yeah my challenge is that once I hit 1250ish in the sim i get beat down furiously. still leveling those core 2* and i'll get it next season for sure.

and yeah what i have learned this week is: toss Quicksilver covers asap

Oh I rarely bother with the Simulator nowadays, maybe to get that HP reward at 250 points. Nah, I just do the PVP events, this last time I was able to reach 400 for I think all of them, so I made the 10-pack tier with days to spare.

For the Simulator, it's just the reason you mention: once you reach a certain points plateau, you become a high-value target for other people to pound on, and your point total inevitably gets dragged down.

uh.

fully leveled, that's basically unbeatable by anyone. now what do they do.

they introduce another tier of comparable characters and watch everyone spend all of 2016 grinding towards it

(although given what abanana wrote, maybe it's more "10 ppl get all the 5* characters and rofflestomp the rest of the community from debtor's prison"

this new 5* push might be the thing that makes me give up soon. it's bad enough trying vainly to build up a 4* roster

Simulator is maddening at high levels, you're desperately trying to stay afloat around 1700-1800pts, because a few hundred players are all gunning for that 2000pt reward - this month, an Ant-Man

How hard is it to get the Scarlet Witch cover?

Hahah it's a purple cover, which I have maxed already. Good know you, Gauntlet!

Looks like the first Legendary token available will be the final reward for the Hulk story retread

I wait until I'm way behind in the Simulator then start playing it halfway through the season. No one attacks back because the ranking is so low and you can reap a ton of 70 point beatable teams. It's been the easiest way to get the points I need to hit the 10-pack without devoting a bunch of time or becoming a target.

yeah I haven't had a hard time hitting 2000 in the simulator though I don't know if I care enough this month for an Ant Man

Spent today pushing for the 10-pack; ended up with purple KK, green Squirrel Girl and useless blue Classic Spidey

Also maxed out Iron Fist; holy shit does he rule

jealous!

I bought the last KK cover I needed (still have 9K+ HP); she is SO useful. got the Scarlet Witch cover in the gauntlet but stopped there.

looking forward to playing with buffed maxed Psylocke + Mystique + Gray Suit. no yellow there but o/w should be mean. is there a woman 3 star with a good yellow? I guess I could use Invisible Woman or Thoress but they're not maxed.

oh I guess Squirrel Girl instead of Gray Suit might make sense? actually, yes, that's perfect. if only I had time to play...

Speaking of Squirrel Girl, just pulled a yellow. Mine is already 3/3/2 -- I know that you guys think that I should use whatever I pull and not sell her, but damn but her yellow is kind of a bad ability w/ the turn-ending.

My theory is that while I'm building levels, I only care about getting 13 covers because any character at 166 is going to be powerful enough to survive a sub-optimal build until I can get the covers I need to respec (as evidenced by my still-rules-the-school 4/4/5 IF, a 5/4/4 Patch that I'm still leveling who is still viable at lvl 135, and a lvl 126 5/5/3 Doom that can still melt faces; PS I need so much ISO)

Okay slipping into bragging mode here but I didn't realize how many characters I've cover-maxed and just need to level:

GSBW (5/3/5)
Psylocke (5/3/5)
Patch (5/4/4)
Doom (5/5/3)
FatThor (5/5/3)
Sentry (5/3/5)
Colossus (4/4/5)
Beast (5/4/4)

i just popped in to see why this thread has 4500+ posts and

i am simultaneously fascinated and horrified!

welcome to the new WoW, same as the old WoW

GSBW, Patch, Doom, Thor all worth leveling with those covers. maybe Beast too.

I recently maxed Doom, feels like he's one of the victims of power creep. I'm at 5/4/4 right now, feels like his Purple is the only power that's still dangerous

It's too bad that Doom and Blade collide with each other on red because otherwise that would be a hilarious combo

Although Blade achieves the same effect by himself, only on a smaller scale, so it's really an unnecessary combo

BTW Falcon remains the world's best support character; he makes every single dmg/protection character hilariously overpowered

<3 Falcon so much, but I keep needing to feed him health packs.

I maxed out my 5/3/5 Doom, but rarely ever use him. If I need one of black, blue, or purple covered, maybe he'll see playing time, but purple can take an awful long time to set up to be useful.

xxposts Karl Malone I'm the resident noob and as you probably know the true horror is that it all starts to make sense very quickly.

Squirrel Girl's yellow does suck but yeah 166 first and respec later as DJP says

Doom's purple is ludicrous and his blue is massive too. agree that his black which used to be scary is now lame, largely bc of higher health now

Dang, I just respecced my Doom from 5/4/4 to 5/3/5. :\

PS I pulled a 4* today! :D
A Star-Lord! D:

hahaha

I'm still psyched that I pulled the ONE Cyclops card out of the Deadpool daily

So has anyone played/beaten the new DDQ node yet?

That's out?

played it 3 times to no avail. once he hits that red i am fucked and it's tough to do that much dmg quickly w/ xforce. ugh

https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=410722#p410722

I beat it on my second try w/ my level 181. I used full color+gr/bk ap boosts, plus 100% rainbow damage boost. Your priority is to match red, yellow, and TU, in that order. You need to play defensively in this one. Dominant color is red. So slowly collect your bk ap until there is enough red on the board to deliver a knockout blow to AI cyk.

Not sure if this strat is viable with my (still) 4/1/4 XFW.
