My 1/1/0 Hulkbuster is riding the pine today. :(
― :wq (Leee), Wednesday, 30 September 2015 16:52 (eight years ago) link
yep I tried once, but I have him with just 2 black and that's about as bad a covering as you can have for soloing him.
otoh I was goofing this morning (euro time) in the last couple hours of the beast tourney, starting at about 600 points, and with my lolbeast at 120 (so ~220 buffed) + 240 cyclops + 240 loki (or 240 mystique, swapped a bit) I kept winning & winning, and I hit 1000 again! took my thing and ran w/o shielding b/c my doc oct is already 5-3-5 & while I'd prefer 3-5-5 I wasn't close to hitting top 5 or even top 25 at 1000. in fact in my bracket 1000 wasn't even top 50! lost ~200 pts before the end dropping me to 95, still over 800 though. I think a lot of people with strong 3 star rosters are seeing that if you want to make the 3->4 star transition 1000 in pvp is a good way to go. I made it to 1000 without fighting any 4 star dominated rosters; a couple of 270 xforces but with 240 cyclops those are no problem, just horde black.

yeah, my HB is 1 black, totally worthless for the fightbut yeah, i think the result of the Legendary rewards is that PVP has scaled up considerably, if you can't make top 25 with 1000 pts!

oh hey so I earned my first 10 pack! hi dere multiple wolverine/OBW/torch covers I don't need and 3* bullseye I don't want.

I can't do the legendary DPD with 1/2/1 Hulkbuster. Hulk can get down below 5000 health but then he can clap me to death.

For anyone else wondering if they can bust the Hulk:
A few quick comments for people attempting to beat this node with an underlevelled, undercovered IMHB.Yes, the basic theory is that you deny green and red, and Hulk can't get his abilities off. However, the thing is that match damage from a level 270 Hulk will kill your underlevelled, undercovered IMHB most of the time, since he starts off with way more health than you, and does a lot more match damage than you. Your IMHB needs to be levelled enough to have sufficient health to make it through most of the match firstly (so you're probably looking around level 160 or so, at a guess, although I think some people have scraped by with less). Secondly, it helps to have a few blue covers, so you can mitigate that match damage (although you need to be careful when you use Hulk Proof, since you can accidentally feed Hulk red, if you're not careful). Boost your match damage, Hulk's boosted enough that he won't notice the additional damage in terms of Anger. If you don't have at least 2 red covers, you're unlikely to win either, since even a weak Repulsor Punch is enough to even out the health differential between you and Hulk at the end.

kind of amazed it took this long to get a Hulk variant, actually!

I guess the Red Hulk storyline was kind of buttsy?
― :wq (Leee), Thursday, 1 October 2015 16:32 (eight years ago) link
It was written by Jeph Loeb, whose mainstream claim to fame is the nonsensical plot vortex that Heroes devolved into.
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Thursday, 1 October 2015 16:33 (eight years ago) link
Red Hulk storyline is incredibly buttsy, yes. But in an entertaining fashion, unlike most of Loeb's later comics.

third pvp with 1000 in a row! Really wanted the goddess red, now mine's 5-3-3. seems def the way to get a 4 star roster. I've been leveling the 3 star hero du jour to 120 which gets buffed to ~220, usually have them fully covered, and 120 is the line where leveling gets expensive. Coupled with two maxed buffed 3 stars I can hit 1000 with using Jean gray Hulkbuster or prof x.

i've used wifi in coach
also: terrible commercial!

who has wifi in coach? virgin?and yes: terrible commercial.

I can't remember which it was. Maybe United? I don't fly that much. But I was happy to have the wifi.

i had to pay for it btw

almost every airline has wifi now, it's more plane-dependent than anything else

The last time I paid for airplane wifi it was too slow to even load Facebook.

I had two covers before I pulled another later in the day, but at 2 covers it wasn't gonna happen (and it's a busy week so I couldn't go hard).

the introduction of the 5-stars and the lack of 4-stars on my team have chilled me on the game a bit - kind of glad that at least I can spend 10 minutes/day playing the Deadpool and get load up on 3* and 5k in points without putting too much time in.
