d3 said they're not making any more 1 or 2 stars, didn't they?

Or 3 stars

Just pulled my 14th Hulkbuster, I'm officially on the clock to championing him now.

Nice!

I pulled a War Machine and a Drax today. And got my first Carnage black as a daily reward (4-1-5 now). 166d Daredevil but need 5k to champ.

after throwing a ton of ISO into 4*s to get more of them as viable substitutes (and to boost Elektra for her DDQ node, which I got on attempt 3), I've circled back on my 2* recycle project

I've started selling my max-leveled 2* characters and rebuilding them so I can champion more of them to feed my 3* champions/push my final 3* holdouts to champion status. I now have champed Moonstone 2Torch and Bullseye, am rebuilding 2Cap, AstWolvie, 2Thor, CStorm, MagNow and ModHawk and still have max champed ModHawk, MagNow and CStorm. The plan is to recycle my last remaining max champs as soon as I cover max the 2*s I'm rebuilding with the aim of instantly championing them with the thought being that while my current champs make DDQ easymode, it should be winnable with any combination of champs as I'm rebuilding them, only now I'll have more of them to act as batteries for my 3* tier and to generate ISO to level any odd men out. I expect this will chew up a lot of ISO initially but once I get them all rolling with cover rewards, I will be able to flood my 3* roster with covers, which will in turn allow me get more 4* covers and bump those chars

It's very tempting though to max out my existing 4* tier and then circle back to rebuilding the 2*s, though, and may make more sense long-term

I've started selling my max-leveled 2* characters and rebuilding them

Same. I just sold my 2* 144 Hawkeye because I've accumulated 8 of his covers in queue and the first was going to expire today.

Champed Daredevil just now, pulled a red hulk, nice

I don't even know what they would use for 1* Wolverine

opened my heroic 10-pack - think i actually did ok? got 3 star cyclops, iron man, mystique and bullseye and all the 2 stars i have champed chars to level up w/

Mordy, it's a rare treat to have your 10-pack be all usable!

Vernon, wtf @ the Noseless thing, that's the stupidest non-Liefeld related comics thing I've ever read about.

PS to Dan: I remember you'd written an X-Men parody where Wolverine acted like a golden retriever, I'm going to guess this was actually during his feral phase.

Ahahaha yes it was, and I had forgotten about that

The first comics I seriously collected were Hama/Kubert-era Wolverine, so noseless Wolverine sticks in the memory. It'd be a few more years before I started lurking on racmx...

Oh my god, you may have seen the unfinished fanfic I wrote that featured noseless Wolverine

I think the official comics was enough noseless Wolverine for me!

wait did he actually lose his nose or was it just really bad illustration, because that's what i remember

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe#Tycho.27s_nose

I'm pretty sure that noseless Wolverine was a Joe Madureira design, and he was about the only penciller that didn't make it look stupid (without giving up and drawing a nose).

great, something i cannot unsee: doctor octopus looks like jack nicholson, so now whenever i see him i hear dril tweets in my head

Any room in he alliance for this PVE? I'm going to take it easy this round.

so who's doing VIP? admit your shame

I'll give it a go - I still have google play money from my b'day back in April to waste.

PS I finally got a blue Prof X, oh and btw champed IMHB yesterday, nbd in the life of a baller.

yeah i vipped myself. also had spare gplay money and figured fuck it, i guess i'll pay $14 CAD for a legendary token (or two i guess)

I'm gonna avoid it this first go around I think, the rewards don't look as good as I'd feared. but two legendaries would be nice!

once I realized it wasn't an automatic resubscription I figured $10 was cheap enough for me to investigate whether it was worth doing

oh it's not subscription based? Maybe i'll opt in if i ever find myself in the last few days to raise HP to champ a major character.
OR FOR BAGMAN

lol I just champed beast lol

Beast is good though!

I use him with Gamora and 3* Bullseye to beat the Big Enchilada every day.

ya <3 hank

What's the right build? 5-5-3? I barely know him

Got a 5 cap from the legendary btw

Yup, 5/5/3. Think of him as a faster R&G (a green that does team damage, a blue countdown that resolves in one turn AND which counts as a friendly special tile to do big green damage) but without the permanent healing.

10-pack:
Doom
IM40
Psylocke (enh)

Plus three 2*s that I can use to rebuild.

SOOOO bored of doing Big Enchilada w/my slow but assured CMags/Patch/Loki team. Suggestions for a faster setup?

I dunno but i usually do gsbw/falcon/cyclops

I use IM40/Fist/Cap, once you start having like 30 AP red/blue + 1-2 of each color in countdowns on the board it gets v quick indeed

You can also try a strike tile bonanza team where each character creates strike tiles on a different color (i.e., OML/RG/BP, OML/Daken/RG, BP/RG/Daken, OML/Psylocke/RG, etc). Get enough strike tiles out there and you start hitting like a truck, especially on goon nodes

lazy thor/ ogblackwidow / lazydaken is zippy

thanks, will try all of these

My old BE lineup used to be Falcon/Daken/Blade. Often you'll get a buttload of strikes out quickly, either through green matches or letting red accumulate on the board, all the while buffing them with yellow matches. Get purple when you can to bring out Blade's attack tiles, and you'll be doing 3-4K damage per turn. You'll take a fair bit of damage, and you can be overwhelmed by countdown tiles, but it's pretty potent offense.

Also, if you like to live dangerously, IM40/She Hulk/Patch can run through opponents quickly or quickly become a disaster.

I play different days every day, I get bored otherwise. though I do end up favoring those who are at the front of my roster, so I use a lot of black panther (he's the only one for whom I've gotten the first 4 star champ progression reward).

for 3 stars have just bullseye (I have one cover waiting), quicksilver, and spidey left to champ. then I can start building up 4 stars.

er different TEAMS every day

so i've got 2* wolverine and 2* cap at the cover max but not leveled up at all. wolverine i have 6 covers i could feed if i champed him (cap i have none). i also have 6 daken covers (but no rostered daken). i didn't totally understand what you were all talking about re leveling up 2* chars. my question is - if i need the spot (i have a 3* squirrel girl and a 4* star-lord i'd like to roster) - do i bother wasting the iso on the wolverine to champ and then feed him the covers or should i just sell the cap, wolverine and daken covers and use those spots for the 3* + i want to roster? when does it become worthwhile to screw around w/ 2* chars? (nb i have champed hawkeye, obw, storm, ares, thor, human torch and magneto - so i'm not lacking for 2* champs.)

I'd say prioritize your 3s and 4s over 2s. I only carry 2 2*s (Wolverine and Black Widow) and that's enough for me to get through the Deadpool Dailies.

with the new ISO mechanic it's worth it to champ that wolverine imo

champ him, feed him the covers, and then sell him off? or hold onto him until he's maxxed out on covers?

champ him, feed him the covers, feed him more covers til he's maxed THEN sell him for 65K ISO your 3* will be craving, then repeat

The bottom line is that ** Wolverine is the fourth (or fifth! (x23)) best Wolverine in the game, and **s are plentiful. But I would cut the cord on a low-level three in favor of having more championable **s on my roster. I have six championed twos and I am very reluctant to get rid of any of them because they keep giving rewards and they keep getting stronger. Those rewards are better than being able to use Squirrel Girl in a few events imo.

The real litmus is that you're beating Under the Sea and Third Time's the Charm regularly. If not, I'd keep working on my two-star roster.

i am beating both consistently and beating the big enchilada pretty much every day that i have the right char (sometimes takes a few tries but only missed one in the last few weeks)
