Yeah, i came to the thinking that there's no point drawing Legendaries when I have 4*s I still need to build up, because right now I have a handful of Good to OK 4*s (SheThor, XFW, Nick Fury, Starlord) that all need ISO and a crapload of 1/1/2 characters that are kind of useless. Meanwhile we get new 4*s every two weeks, and there's always something better around the corner.. so I tried not to buy a Legendary pack more than once a month.

I see that. I just can't help myself.
though my 4 star covers are starting to add up. my starlord, electra, and X-23 are all getting playable-ish, at least in pve. need 1 or 2 more starlord to cover max him. 2 or 3 for electra, 3 or 4 for X-23. my hulkbuster is 5-0-2, so 5 in red. drew another carnage today, 2-0-4. it adds up.

I have a 5/2/2 Jean Grey and a 0/5/1 Iceman that, while squishy, are downright brutal on offense
― DJP, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 16:46 (seven years ago) link
Huh! The forums hate Star-lord, but I was going to champion him (he's already at 13 covers, and I've been keeping 4 R&G covers in my queue because the next one is going to give me another SL) until I pulled that IMHB, who's now at 12 and suddenly has become my ISO priority.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link
oh man I would love that Jean Gray. mine is maybe 4-2-2 ? I should level her.
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link
YOU REALLY SHOULD esp if you've got a level-capped IM40
― DJP, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 16:48 (seven years ago) link
starlord is not bad! but countdown tiles suck. whichever one I have at 5, red I think, does like 6000 at my crappy level. but it's a countdown tile.
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 16:48 (seven years ago) link
Iceman with 5 blue is a patently unfair character; 6 blue triggers a 4-turn stun on a character, during which another 6 blue drops a nuke on anyone on the opposing team (right now unbuffed mine does over 6K)
IM40/Iceman/Jean ignores black, which seems weird after being in OML land for so long, but makes up for it with AOE nukes on purple and green, a nuke on red, a stun/nuke on blue, and a yellow battery that gives you tons of red and blue and decent amounts of green and purple; esp in PVE it's hilariously easy to rofflestomp your opponent with minimal damage
― DJP, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 16:52 (seven years ago) link
Dan, I have 3/3/3 Jeanie and 2/4/5 Icecreep. Do you think that's enough to rofflestomp PVE?
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 16:57 (seven years ago) link
I'd think so, esp with IM40 powering them
my strat is:
Rechargeblue stun a characterpunch another characterAOE if possiblerepeat
I've never used Iceman's green because I don't have it; his purple is nice for getting more blue on the board too fuel Make/Punch but I prioritize Jean because her green puts special tiles on the board for you and her purple removes enemy special tiles, including countdowns
― DJP, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 17:03 (seven years ago) link
but putting iso into my 3/2/1 Jean Grey means it's not going into someone else... decisions decisionsalso when i pull like another Kid Nova or Red hulk I'm just like ehhhhhhh5/0/1 Ant-Man is kinda fun though
― Nhex, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 17:10 (seven years ago) link
Bah, Jean's purple only coverts countdowns at 4 covers. :\ xp
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 17:11 (seven years ago) link
Nhex, Ant-Man with blue is awesome! He takes some time to set up, though, but he's great against Muscles and anyone who spams (Daken) or steals (Moonstone) special tiles.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 17:12 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I wish I had his blue... :(
― Nhex, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 17:14 (seven years ago) link
My Ant-Man is 2/1/2, maybe I should try him out

i am horrified thgat we may one day need MPQ thread 2
3 more days til i chmap kamala! then another week until i champ storm! then back to the drawing board, considering champing beast/daken/shulk/quicksilver/capn marvel (for the 183+ rewards, jean/x23/meh hulk/iceman/thing) but maybe i should finally just bite the bullet and pump it all into XFW (300ish K ISO to champ, but then i have a champed 4 star). i've already got... 20 champed 3*s? how goshdarn many do i need? the answer is as many as i can until my 4*s are viable, i guess, which i do not feel they are at alllll... aside from 13c XFW, i've got... devil dino at 8, invis/4dp/elektra at 7, ironhulk/flaptain at 6... it's creeping closer to 4 star time tho!
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 18:47 (seven years ago) link
okay I didn't realize Beast gives you Jean cards, some of my ISO priorities may have just shifted
― DJP, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 18:54 (seven years ago) link
yeah, at this point the only thing i am looking at for champing is the reward cards... that's why i am even considering rags/daken (x23), beast (jean), storm (thor), quick (iceman) and if i ever get them to 13 covers, sentry (red hulk), mystique (iceman). as well as the other 3 stars i just want to champ because they are badass, once i get to 13 covers: luke cage, cyclops, switch.
i have a feeling i will actually end up champing like 10 more 3*s before this game ends/i die/heat death of universe/i stop playing (listed in descending order of probability)
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 18:57 (seven years ago) link
IMO you should consider championing Mystique regardless; her purple/black combo, esp. when boosted, is insane
Beast is also a lot of fun when he's boosted and his yellow has sometimes saved my ass so it's kind of dumb that I haven't leveled/champed him yet
otoh Jean/Iceman rofflestomping is too fun
― DJP, Tuesday, 24 May 2016 19:00 (seven years ago) link
my jean and iceman are at 1/0/1 and 0/0/1 respectively, so it'll be a while before i get to enjoy stomping those roffles :(
lol my 5* jean is 2/1/1 tho, thanks legendary tokens?
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 19:09 (seven years ago) link
i'll definitely bump mystique up the list, she is just not-paid-attention-to yet because she isn't 13 cover (altho she has jumped from 9 to 12 in the past couple of weeks, so may enter the conversation sooner than i thought)
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 19:12 (seven years ago) link
but maybe i should finally just bite the bullet and pump it all into XFW (300ish K ISO to champ, but then i have a champed 4 star)
Enh, XFW is my first champed 4* (and until last week my only one), and while he's useful in PVE, he's definitely not world-pwning like Jean, Iceman, or IMHB, and there are plenty of missions where he isn't much of an asset.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 20:01 (seven years ago) link
Cosigning Mystique -- I liked to use her with Patch. You know, for the rofflelulz.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 20:02 (seven years ago) link
i've already had to sell off one or two of his covers over the past ~6-9 months, tho, and it'd be nice to be putting those towards evenytually getting more leg tokens. surely it'll take over a year before i can even consider jean/iceman/imhb as useful (maybe HB first, since he's 1/2/3 iirc)
xp last few PVE nodes just for kicks i rocked im40/patch/loki to great effect
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 20:03 (seven years ago) link
(maybe HB first, since he's 1/2/3 iirc)
If you're not sure how he's specced then you are a filthy casual! ;P

― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Tuesday, 24 May 2016 20:07 (seven years ago) link
checked, my Jean Gray is 4-2-3! I guess that's decent enough to bring up after I've finished champing the rest of these 3 stars.
xforce is very useful because of his black: it's a cheap, quick kill / maim even for big time foes. he's not top tier 4 star anymore, but for speed he's useful even in pvp. nb my only champed 4 stars are xforce and lady thor so if I wanna run 4 star I don't have a lot of choice...yet...

Got an Iso-8 Brotherhood token after event ended. Pulled..Yellow X-Force Wolverine! Feels like I've been waiting literally years for this cover. Bless you RNGesus

I got a War Machine for finishing top 50. got an Iceman from my last pve token.
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 27 May 2016 07:26 (seven years ago) link
oh man! something must be in the water right now. i got:- legendary for champing kamala: my first 5 star spidey! (purple)- legendary for the xfw node in ddq: my second 5 star spidey!!! (blue)- iso-8 brotherhood token: hulkbuster black! (1/3/3)
When the daily pops, I'll get enough command points for another legendary token... which I am DEFINITELY opening ASAP ;)
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Friday, 27 May 2016 14:22 (seven years ago) link
legendary for the xforce dpd : electra red, which is blah-ish but it puts her at 4-5-2, just 2 covers away.
my daily reward is 25 command points, and I have 14 command points already, so I almost have enough for 2 draws from the 20 cp pile.
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 27 May 2016 15:08 (seven years ago) link
Beat the Legendary got... a third Back in Black Spidey! Making him... 0/0/3. Can't complain too much
Are the Civil War Legendary tokens worth it? They're 20 CP.
― Nhex, Friday, 27 May 2016 15:29 (seven years ago) link
Basically exactly the same as a legendary token, except you get a 10% shot at 5* cap or 5* tony instead of a 10% shot at (phoenix/surfer/OML) or (phoenix/goblin/BIB spidey)
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Friday, 27 May 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link
aka: if i am spending CP, i'm buying the 20 CP token every time (I want to build up my 4*s anyway)
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Friday, 27 May 2016 15:42 (seven years ago) link
mine are 100cp; at 20 i would def buy

oh wait, wrong currency
he was talknig abt the "civil war legendary" (which are actually 30cp, fuck that noise)
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Friday, 27 May 2016 15:47 (seven years ago) link
oh shit you're right! my badyeah id rather have another OML/Phoenix/BIB anyway

I pulled a black Ghost Rider from the ddq4 token, very helpful against 5* Cap.

Opened 70 tacos today:
1000 HP3x 3* MagnetoQuicksilverScarlet WitchI didn't count how many 1500 ISOs, probably 4xAnnnnnd...1 black IMHB(!) (Makes him 5/5/3!)
And after not pulling a single 2* Bullseye for three weeks -- he was at 142, and I really needed to open up roster spots for several 4* and 5* covers in my queue -- I get 9 of those today. Let me roster Silver Surfer, so now I have all the 5*s except for Cap.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Sunday, 29 May 2016 01:02 (seven years ago) link
some advice plz
i have championed storm classic, black widow original, and thor marvel now which is like my core 2* team. i also have an max cover magneto, wolverine astonishing, hawkeye, human torch, and ares. i then have a bunch of 3* and 4* guys but really 1-3 covers in each so very very far from maxxing a single one out. should i champion some of these other 2*s or just save any iso i get for the next while until i have a 3* or 4* to use it on?
also should i delete any of those 2* covers? i have a 2x 3* black widow, 3* ragnarok, and a 3* bullseye i could roster. not sure what ppl think about the 3* black widow? i know the 2* is supposed to be v good.
― Mordy, Sunday, 29 May 2016 04:13 (seven years ago) link
I love 3* GSBW and still use her often. Unfortunately though the game has kind of moved away from these slow build-up characters and defensive characters
The Champion mechanic is nice because you can build up your 2*s to be as good as viable 3*s until you actually do have a cover maxed 3*. You probably don't need more than six 2*s, though (if even that many). OTOH you get the nice benefit from 2* Champions of slowly treadmilling to their 3* version (like Astonishing Wolvie -> Patch, OBW -> GSBW, etc)

― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Sunday, 29 May 2016 06:29 (seven years ago) link
Mordy - go ahead and champion the shit out of your 2* imo.
It will take a long time to pull enough covers to make your 3* roster viable and championing will keep you competitive in the meantime. mags/hawkeye and OBW/wolverine will take you a long long way.
Don't worry about the ISO, you'll reach a plateau where it just piles up until you get 5-6 legit 3* fully covered. At which point it will disappear quickly lol.
