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).

Huh, so they're bringing this to PS4/X1. $15 with head to head multiplayer. Not sure how F2P/IAP is going to work.
Also, uh...

that's a nightmare right there.
if my roster can transfer i'll buy it but there's no way they're gonna allow that.

^^ that's Amadeus Cho, all grown up and gammafied and your first Korean-American Hulk

i read a bunch of those Cho comics (around the Planet Hulk/Incredible Hercules era), it'll entertain at the very least
but that picture... bleah!

just one step forward towards the inevitable Asian-American Spider-Man (introverted nerdy teen from Queens, hopelessly shamed and guilted by his relatives alive and dead into doing the right thing? yes.)

Bah, not getting the Legendary token in all likelihood.

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.

^^ this. Also, putting iso into my only decent 4* (Invisible Woman, obv) has horribly skewed my pvp match up opponents.

In about 13 hours the Galactus event (Alliance PvE) starts, so get ready. Hopefully it's not more grueling than the Ultron one.

Well, it took a lot of time and stupidity, but I got the Legendary token! And with it, I pulled... a blue Invisible Woman!

hooray?

It means that I'll be able to beat the DDQ 4* node in about three months a little more quickly now!

How's everyone fighting Galactus? I'm using OBW, Mohawk Storm and an under-covered She-Hulk. Wait until he sucks up AP then hit with Agressive Recon and Furious Charge; do lots of damage with Storm's black.

It also slows down his counters with OBW's blue and destroys some with She-Hulk's red.

Pissed I don't have a marvel girl cover....

In later Galactus nodes, ClassicMags/Loki/X-Force is the answer due to quick neverending cascades, plus X-Force's Recovery is a great offensive weapon since you aren't taking tons of damage

I had some early luck with Spidey/GSBW/XFWolvie but it ran out quick. Basically if I could get enough black early, I could win

They really design these events to kill your health packs

here's some obvious advice: don't send any characters to fight Galactus if you haven't used them on the mini-nodes yet

I've just been using x-force, kamela khan, and human torch. all are maxed so massively buffed. but I've only made it to round 2. I haven't lost to galactus yet though, maybe 10 battles or so? can't play this morning bleh.

Anyone try Hood yet? Is he able to steal AP?

People in the d3 forum are recommending XFW, Scarlet Witch, Iron Fist. Keep lots of blue on the board and go for Surgical Strike.

Hood can steal AP but he doesn't get many turns to do so before everyone is dead.

Not much working, thinking of just offering a 1*/2* team as a sacrifice to the big G.

I've discovered to my detriment that my strategy is 100% reliant on being able to suck up enough purple for Loki to fire off a couple of Illusions in the first two turns, otherwise oops

That XFW/Scarlet Witch/IF team works for me about half the time, so I'll take it

I usually end up beating him with a combination of Lazy Thor, GSBW and Hood. A lucky cascade or two and I'm all set.

I had better success with OBW + Shulk + damage teams. XFW black didn't do enough damage to kill Galactus.

yeah I don't get it anymore, he beats me in two or three turns, which doesn't give me close to enough ap to get off even one attack. bleh

They went easy with the Legendary token event today. One of the first 4*s released and the 3* she has the easiest time against. It still took me 3 tries with 4/3/1 Jane Thor.

3 tries for me too. Got a red Hulkbuster

Nice. I got The Thing, yellow (passive); now at 0/1/1.

Bah, mine is only 1/1/1, really doubt I should sink my boosts or health packs to give this a shot.

I'm going to aim for the Legendary token from the Anniversary progression, though -- just need to find a way to average 400 points a day is all.

3 tries, all fails. Damn. tell me how to do it!

red is the goal, or blue->red, though he's generating charged tiles too. defending against his green helps too.

Ah that's the thing. Mine is 2/4/3. Yellow isn't super useful in this matchup and the others are kind of weak. The blue stun is good but it's hard to hold out long enough

Hit 800 so that I could get the R&G yellow, respec'ing them to 5/3/5. Damn, they're fun to play with. Shielded for now so that I can eat in peace, might try to push for 1000 after dinner.

At 705. Don't think I have the stomach to go much further.

Ugh fine I got to 867 before i shielded. I do love that Patch/Loki/HyperBeast combo

I went to 800, shielded, wanted to make a run for 1000 but fizzled, ended up outside the top 100 bleh. just don't have enough time, or the right time, to make pushes these days.

Lol same, except I ended right at 100, sorry dude!

I just shielded at the right time - got 8+ successful retaliations within 30 minutes, definitely would've given up on the Top 100 by that point. Horrifed to see the same guy actually "retaliate" three times in that same period, but I guess the opponent pool becomes much smaller as you get towards the top

Opening all of my non-Taco tokens in the hopes of getting an Ares for the Simulator essential lolz.

Last three anniversary tokens I cashed have all resulted in 3* or better: purple Deadpool (yippy!), purple Bullseye (maxed already), yellow Ant-Man (1/1/1 now!).

I keep getting shit I've already maxed

I think I've gotten 3 green Hulks

Pulled a green Devil Dinosaur just now. All is right in the world.

High of the week: Anniversary token giving me my first X-Force Deadpool!
Low of the week: Getting knocked down from 800+ to 500 points in the Class of 2015 PVP, went from Top 25 to Top 300 by the time it ended. What also sucks - the overall Anniversary bracket doesn't accumulate all points like most of the monthly Seasons - only what you have when the PVP tourney ends - so those lost points are really gone

Simulator feels pretty useless this time around due to lack of blue/gold Cykes

Anniversary 10-pack results: 9 2*s, 1 useless Lazy Cap. pff.

Two DDs for me, one green so usable (2-2-5 now), my first Reed Richards, a useless Mohawk Storm, and I think that's all. Not bad.
