I am currently leveling 3* Cyclops (lvl 142) so I can champion him; once that's done, I'm going to start leveling 4* Jean (5/2/1 lvl 131) and Iceman (0/4/1 lvl 74), then Nick Fury (4/2/2 lvl 131) and Elektra (4/2/3 lvl 127). Also looking at 4* Sam Wilson (2/1/1 lvl 82), 4* Deadpool (1/1/2 lvl 78), Thing (4/0/1 lvl 74), Hulkbuster (2/1/1 lvl 70), Prof X (1/1/2 lvl 70) and Kingpin (1/1/2 lvl 70)

might as well just level that hulkbuster/prof x/kingpin now, what'll that cost like 12 iso?
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Monday, 11 April 2016 17:49 (eight years ago) link
I've been resisting spending ISO on 4s until they are at a point where I could see myself starting to use them
I might use Prof X at 1/1/2 though
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Monday, 11 April 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link
I'm spending ISO to max out my fours right now because I have so few of them that it isn't a big expense. I just championed Luke Cage and Cyclops and that obviously got pretty pricey at the end. It feels so nice to level up for like 100 iso instead of 2500 iso.

I think I'm going to champ my twos next. Might as well get it over with so I don't keep throwing those covers away.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 11 April 2016 18:08 (eight years ago) link
really dunno what i am doing w/ my iso now. i don't have any cover-14s in the queue, but i will soon enough (currently have 6 un-champed 3* at 13 covers: storm, shulk, deadpool, psylocke, ragnarok, beast). also have some less-covered ones i could level up due to usefulness (switch 323, cyclops 135, kamala 434, qsilver 534?). about 80k iso just sitting there, gotta decide if i am going to champ the chumps or bump up the useful non-champs.
or i could just level xfw (cover maxed, level 190). every option feels like a C- decision right now. leaning towards psylocke and deadpool 3* champs, because maybe in 6 months i'll get a single damn 4* DP cover from them.
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Monday, 11 April 2016 18:34 (eight years ago) link
i have a batch of cover maxed level 141 three stars that i champion as i get a new cover; generally takes about ten days of play to get them to 166. in between those, i level the other three stars to 141 so that I can maximize them.my spreadsheet is very busy.

mordy - i need to free up a spot for you to join. i'll post here later tonight, when I do so you need to manually join our alliance named ILX-Statix
― Nhex, Monday, 11 April 2016 19:50 (eight years ago) link
IMO anyone who calls Shulk a chump just hasn't figured out how to use her
that green is DEADLY and the blue can render enemy special tile generators useless; throw in the red after the blue has given you some beefed-up strike tiles yowza
I was running through PvE with Shulk/Hood/Blade and it was ludicrous how few attacks the AI was able to levy against me
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Monday, 11 April 2016 19:59 (eight years ago) link
i use the word chump strongly, i just already have 17 champed 3*s so i don't ~need~ any of them as actual characters (more just to get those purple packs & eventually start generating more ISO or whatever)
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Monday, 11 April 2016 20:04 (eight years ago) link
i mean i have a champed iron fist and i keep forgetting to even use him because he's "only" level 168 which means he's on like my 3rd page of dudes and he's one of the last ones i champed
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Monday, 11 April 2016 20:05 (eight years ago) link
my go-to champ trio these days is iron fist+luke cage+IM40 or Patch or lazydaken or lazy capyou can generally get through a whole PVE board without healing with them
― ulysses, Monday, 11 April 2016 20:35 (eight years ago) link
I champed she hulk, the first in my "well I guess I need the legendary tokens" effort after finishing my first batch of champs. I loathe the green against me so I abuse it against them. She's good.
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 11 April 2016 20:47 (eight years ago) link
i just already have 17 champed 3*s
Ah well I have 33 champed 3*s. PS in case you can't tell I'm flexing in the mirror as I type this.

well whatever man i was busy kissing girls or playing baseball or whatever
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Monday, 11 April 2016 21:13 (eight years ago) link
i just ran the numbers, if i hadn't done those things i estimate i would probably have 34 champed 3*s right now so yeah i'm just saying
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Monday, 11 April 2016 21:14 (eight years ago) link
Only thing holding me back re: she-hulk tho -- totally awesome hulk rewards. at least 3pool & psylocke give 4pool, beast gives jean, storm gives ladythor... even rags gives x23. anyway, her next ddq isn't until april 28 so i have time (rags is soon, but seriously, fuck that dude... storm is april 23 so i can wait to see how my iso looks then).

it bothers me that i don't understand 60% of the posts in this thread and that they sound like eve shoptalk
― Mordy, Monday, 11 April 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
I was kissing your mom AND championing my 3*s, so I'm still the winner, son.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Monday, 11 April 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
Mordy: you should probably be happy you don't understand 60% of the posts in this thread, as that means you can still walk away
it's too late for the rest of us (he says while grinding ISO to throw more levels at Cyclops)

What's a good strategy to be competitive in season events? It seems like a big time suck to really compete if you're also doing DDQ/PVE/PVP.

Do you prioritize non-event season pvp over pve?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 11 April 2016 21:47 (eight years ago) link
Like, if you spend x hours on the pvp event how much time do you spend on SHIELD sim
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 11 April 2016 21:48 (eight years ago) link
I am sorry Will I don't know what got into me. xp
I try to get to 300 or 400 in all of the season PVPs (though realistically I only get to 101 more often), and then take a week in the SHIELD Simulator to get to 2K, which cumulatively has always been enough to get the 10-pack.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Monday, 11 April 2016 21:52 (eight years ago) link
Shield sim is more about timing than around time spent. I can get the final progression reward easily, but then I'll lose most of my points by being attacked. To get a decent final score I think you'd need to do a late-season push and use shields a lot.
― remove butt (abanana), Monday, 11 April 2016 21:53 (eight years ago) link
basically i play deadpool daily when i wake up and then play whatever when i go to sleep. i should probably prioritize this game more as it's a very productive and socially responsible thing to dofuck this thread is over two years old
― ulysses, Monday, 11 April 2016 21:59 (eight years ago) link
it's hilarious going back to older posts before the gameplay changed around and seeing how incomprehensible some sections are given the current context of the game
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Monday, 11 April 2016 22:01 (eight years ago) link
I can't even remember the last time i got a ten pack. it sounds so luxurious
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 11 April 2016 22:01 (eight years ago) link
the simulator is a godsend re: getting the 10-pack, esp if you have a diverse enough roster that you can cycle through to avoid using health packs
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Monday, 11 April 2016 22:02 (eight years ago) link
i really really really really want a howard the duck cover
― ulysses, Monday, 11 April 2016 22:06 (eight years ago) link
I almost exclusively use one team in Simulator: Loki/Daken/Patch. Once in a while I'll change it up, but that team probably accounts for 1800 points.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Monday, 11 April 2016 23:20 (eight years ago) link
i've been using BP/GSBW/2* Storm just bc it's hilarious

howard the duck seems annoying, I dunno, enjoying the new pve anyway just b/c NEW DIALOGUE. they should let alliances write pves we could do a great one I'm sure

the new ones are a lot better than the old ones - reading the Captain America dialogue in "Unstable ISO-8" still makes me cringe

Yeah the Howard intertitles are actually pretty good imo.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 12 April 2016 15:16 (eight years ago) link
I've read that you can get a Howard cover in the final sub-mission, haven't been able to see for myself though.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 17:36 (eight years ago) link
I can report that this is, in fact, true (signed, the owner of a single solitary purple Howard cover)

Do you have 3* Spidey? His stun may help you slow down the pileup of damage enough to get through, plus his heal can save you if things go wrong
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 19:12 (eight years ago) link
I do but he's only at 128.
https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/josephcotten/
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 19:19 (eight years ago) link
hmm
Patch/Loki/CMags at 134 might get steamrolled before they can really get going but is still worth a shot since their play synergy is all about Loki boardshaking into cascades that fuel CMags nukes, which lead to boardshakes and cascades on their own, with Patch tanking incidental damage and throwing out strike tiles to hurt the enemy more (with Loki flipping the enemy ones to protect tiles for you and CMags using his yellow to flood the board with protect tiles, both of which slow incoming damage outside of special attacks to a crawl).
Barring that, Spidey is still worth a shot since he's boosted; maybe with Cyke and KK?
