Boosts help, but getting a good board and using the right strategy are just as important. For an under-covered Prof, you definitely want to deny black so that she can't Shadow Step, thereby prolonging the match and increasing the chances that your Invisibility tile gets destroyed. Then whether or not you let her collect purple to give you strike tiles is up to you (I chose not to because I wanted to get as much backup purple as possible), and try to protect that tile (and if it's matchable, usually let her match it).

Just beat Elektra on my first attempt with a 0/1/2 lvl 70 Prof X

Basically I'd you can stay invisible, you can't lose; I boosted 2 b/p, 2 all, +100% dmg but didn't need the dmg boost

checked my roster, realized my Prof X is 1/0/2 *blah*

Oh that SUUUUUUX

Beasted Beast today, just need to find that last ~3K of ISO before my queued cover of his expires.

I am trying very hard not to break down and buy ISO for Daredevil but time is running out

Next up: Doom

FWIW I rarely use my 168 DD nowadays.

I only started leveling him because I had the cover tbh; now I'm within 10 levels and it's like... I'm not giving up now, I'm so close!

(that said, the introduction of Ultron goons into DDQ is making a Switch/DD combo very attractive to me)

Oooh that sounds useful! Add in IM40 to set up some red traps, too. (I was going to include Cyclops as well, but if you're bringing in him, you're almost always going to use his red.)

i am enjoying a scarlet witch / grey suit widow / classic mags combo with the latter two championed and switch at cover max.
switch makes pink, widow uses pink to make green, green takes 3k damage for all enemies. mags has backup duty for any blue or red picked up and uses yellow to shield. it's a good combo!

yeah I have run that combo, it's super fun to start dropping green/red/blue nukes all over the place

not bad felicity, not bad

geez, when did AI Beast get so good

Boosted Beast is a secret monster, IMO his blue is underrated

have been trying to level gsbw to beat my 14th cover to expiry, but it isn't going well... need 90k more in 7 days. but then i got another one (ddq i think?) which refilled me w confidence but it's at 9d now, tough to beat the clock there as well. then today i got another one... 14d. MPQ is really keen on me champing her.

rather than cave and start paying these fuckers for iso, i've built an ironclad policy of selling covers as i receive them if they're not part of the LONGTERMPLAN.xls (at the moment, that's hulk, lazy cap, IM40, power man in that order). If you would like to build your own LONGTERMPLAN.xls, I strongly recommend starting here:
http://marvelpuzzlequest.wikia.com/wiki/Deadpool's_Daily

I'm championing Loki because I wound up with three Lokis. After that I'm not opening up any covers until I 166 Luke Cage and 3* Falcon (who's at 66, just pulled a cover for him - zero chance of getting him to 166 in time, I'd say).

I'm going back to hoarding tokens until I get more 3s maxed I think, less stressful that way

my longtermplan.xls is mental and p easy since my 3* game is like 60% champed and only a very few of the unchamped ones are at 13 covers already (four in fact). i just wish i had a better way to predict my daily iso in

xxp early levels are SO cheap that the diff between 60-166 and 130-166 is like 110k vs 80s. my BW was at 46 when i started the task of 166ing her (which i started in prep of her ddq)

basically rn it's: GSBW ASAP, maybe psylocke/deadpool (both at 13c), definitely not ragnarok (the last one at 13)... but not spending on them until i'm SURE that i won't be able to spend on one of my 12 covers (blade and IF, and she-hulk I guess). Everyone at 11 or less covers I ignore.

60% may be an exaggeration. 14 champed, 17 not champed. if i ever get ot a point where i don't feel like continuing to pour money into lesser 3*s amybe i'll actually grow up and max that xfw what's been sitting at L190 since forever

I'd probably champ Ragnarok over Psylocke, tbh! He leads to X-23, although now I see that PSY gives XFDP. Anyway, Rags isn't terrible, he's just a support character now (whom I never use).

I'm not sure what my longtermplan.xls is -- it used to be Bullseye and then Beast and then SWitch and Squirrel Girl, but that's been delayed by probably a month because I've been putting ISO into some of the 4*s to beat their DDQ nodes. Now that I've got Beast done, Bullseye will be last one to 166 from 40 (SWitch has been 5/3/5 at 153 because I haven't gotten a 14th cover for her yet), and I'm sad to say that SG may never get levels unless I'm bored.

And I've also seen some D3 forum posters say that champing unleveled 3*s is not a great ISO investment, not when you have 4*s to level.

I champed my first 4-star!

It's Invisible Woman.

I don't really have 4s to level. I have XFW who could eat a bunch, but I can wait. None of the rest are worth investing it (only Devil Dino and Invisible Woman have any sort of significant covering, although XFDP is at 4/1/1 so maybe I will target Psylocke sooner rather than later).

That said it takes FOREVER to get 4* card out of champs, no? my highest is currently at 175 and it's still eight covers away from giving me a 4* (and it's... dr doom... so it'll give me... IW. fml)

lol vernon

xp i have lots of 4*s to level and three 5*s, but most of them are not viable cover-wise. it's still tempting to bring those legendary cards with one cover up to 270 just because they're so meaty

so m/l i pick one 3* every week to max and champ. this week's it's Iron Fist

Dang, there's a thread suggesting that you actually spend 100 HP a day on the Hulk vault if you have it: https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=40007

Crazy thing is that I might do it, now that I'm in a situation where sometimes I have more HP than I do ISO.

I'm not likely to expand my roster any time soon, I don't play PVP very competitively anymore, and obviously I can't spend HP on buying covers, so why not!

I was running IM40/FatCap/GSBW on the Hulk nodes and I literally felt invulnerable. Basically I took minimal damage until the first Recharge went off and then it was lockdown/murder city, esp once I got the second Recharge of and started rolling stuns across the enemy team. (The node with the solo Hulk was laughably simple once I got the stun in place, definitely the easiest on the board due to there only being one character to worry about.)

I have 3 Quicksilvers in my queue all of a sudden. After having had to use him since he's an essential in the PVE, now I'm thinking I should champion him! Aargh longtermplans.xls.

lol, they're trying to get me with three psylockes. i think i'm just gonna cash in.

Think I keep falling into this pattern, where if I do two or more weeks of straight DDQ every day I burn out. Lately I've been doing just a few nodes a day, even that Beast tourney wasn't enough to draw me back in

beast tourney was fun! I won't ever 166 them I don't think but buffed he kinda ruled. too bad about his yellow.

wh-what did they do to his yellow

Quicksilver and Invisible Woman synergize!

yeah they took that away

was talking about Beast's crappy yellow heal, crappy b/c not true healing

took my Silver Surfer to 300 today, no stop till 345

I finally maxed out the covers of another 4* -- Sue :( not sure if i'll bother championing her. I also got the 10 pack already: Iceman purple (now 4/4/2) and a bunch of covers for championed characters. BTW the Deadpool Daily final node has two Deadpools in it today.

Yeah the DDQ was hard today!

KK/IM40/Lazy Cap makes just about any Big Enchilada trivial.

I try to avoid using a teams in ddq though

Yeah but if you used Cap/IM40 you could murder them and lose maybe 1K health on characters with well over 10k

Also Beast's healing won me a match that went terribly so I'm not mad at it

I need to start bumping LazyCap and IM, two of my lowest 3*.

My go-to Big Enchilada is KK/Thor/Doc Ock.

im40 and lazy cap just feel like cheating across the board atm

Looks like this will be the second DDQ4 that I won't be able to beat this cycle, since my Kingpin is only 2/0/2.

I did it with 2/2/2. got a falcap :(

Which ***'s would you say make for an ideal pair with Thor or Falcon (both of which I have championed already)? I was thinking about leveling Doom or Daken to go with Thor ... not sure who to pair with Falcon since I don't have a *** with green-blue-black that's ready to level.

I have all the covers I need to level any of the toons below. I'm hesitant to level anyone with yellow since I have three championed yellows, and definitely need black since Hood is my only leveled black. I'm focused on the ones with black without yellow (Blade, Loki, Daken, Doom, Hulk), but some of the best available options (Cyclops, Cage, Black Panther) are precisely that. Am I overthinking this? Should I just level the best available toons?

Cyclops (Uncanny X-Men)
Luke Cage (Hero For Hire)
Magneto (Classic)
Blade (Daywalker)
Steve Rogers (Super Soldier)
Black Panther (T'Challa)
Loki (Dark Reign)
Wolverine (Patch)
Daken (Classic)
Doctor Doom (Classic)
The Hulk (Indestructible)
Human Torch (Classic)
She-Hulk (Modern)

I say cyclops bc his red and black are where it's at and his yellow is useful support but 5-3-5 is what you normally want. And he's top tier.

Cmags also fits that w blue for black: you'll never use his yellow

IMO you are overthinking, because Cyclops is probably the best damage-dealing 3* in the game, and Cage is incredibly useful. Blade is also great to have at a high level (just 176'ed mine today, he's my highest 3*).

Having rainbow-coverage is nice and more versatile (in case you get a bad board), but at the same time that it might slow you down because you're chasing a bunch of different colors instead of focusing on getting one or two specific powers off.

As for a good third behind Thor and Falcon, I'd suggest Daken. He'll tank purple for Falcon (though unfortunately Daken won't tank blue), and because you'll be going after green and yellow matches, you'll be getting a lot of strengthened strike tiles that'll make your Call the Storm that much more obscene.
