i mean you should be able to see them outside of the game on a website, not just in-game (though yeah, it's bad there too)

Nhex, Tuesday, 26 July 2016 18:45 (seven years ago) link

it's the same problem with padherder for puzzle and dragons, this should be just be part of the game considering the money they're making off these things - shouldn't rely on 3rd parties

after buffs I beat the Crash of the Titans today with my 5-4-2 l185 Jean Gray, with 200 hp left. A 270 Moonstone is brutal.

Huh. I kind of stomped her with a l189 5-3-2 Jean on my first try with no buffs and close to 2K health left. Basically, I denied red and purple as much as I could and let her suck up all the black she wanted while stockpiling purple and green. She hit me with red once but since there were only 3-4 red tiles on the board whenever she cast it, I was able to able to absorb it; meanwhile I'd cast green at her, let her steal the tiles, then cast purple to clear them off. I managed to get enough purple to hit her 3 times which, along with my match damage and the 2 green casts, killed her. (I happened to rank #2 in DDQ today, curse you Beelzebub of The Struggle nd yr 4-1-5 lvl192 Jean)

I think what this all means is board composition is your friend.

http://porno (DJP), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 19:07 (seven years ago) link

Yeah I got wrecked the first two times without boosts bc she got mad cascades. I used the same denial strategy that you described but it didn't work out as well

droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 19:22 (seven years ago) link

I got lucky, then. My logic was that her black couldn't really hurt me as she was stealing my tiles and I grabbed enough purple that she never had the chance to cast it, so I was really only concerned with keeping red off of the board since that's her big nuke; as long as I could stay alive long enough to throw multiple purples at her, I'd be good, and only casting them after green meant and extra bump of dmg for me and a wasted power trigger for her.

http://porno (DJP), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 19:28 (seven years ago) link

Same strat but her abilities require so little AP that a couple bad cascades or even four in a rows and she can drop pain

droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 19:40 (seven years ago) link

yeah, it's more of a pain that it looks

Nhex, Tuesday, 26 July 2016 19:47 (seven years ago) link

Like I said, board comp was totally my friend

http://porno (DJP), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 20:07 (seven years ago) link

(got a red XPool btw)

http://porno (DJP), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 20:15 (seven years ago) link

Took ~7 tries with my 3/4/5 Jean, and I leveled her from 147 to 166 (hopefully that doesn't hobble my plans to max Iceman). In the end, I needed to add +100% match damage, and I got a red Elektra. :\

also leee omg :| can i have yr roster

Surely you have something of worth that we can TRADE.

Drew my first Winter Soldier (a red)...and a green Jean Gray ! Now she's 5-4-3, can level her to 250 (and Beast gives the last green at 183, I have him at 169 I think).

droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 26 July 2016 22:14 (seven years ago) link

ok Will I updated my roster on that gamependium page here

droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 27 July 2016 12:19 (seven years ago) link

Every character I have that's higher ranked than Euler's feels like such a little victory haha

He doesn't even have a green goblin smh

My 5 star draws have been nearly nil (just a Cap) since the beginning

droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 27 July 2016 19:49 (seven years ago) link

i had a weird, crazy run where I got four ***** caps in like a week. It was bizarre. Then again all my other fives are one carders.

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 27 July 2016 19:55 (seven years ago) link

i've really gotta stop opening packs when i don't have the spots for the covers. anyway, i've got 2 free spots. who do u guys like out of these:

2* moonstone (4 covers)
2* captain marvel (3 covers)
3* ragnarok (2 covers)
3* colossus (1 cover)
4* wolverine (1 cover)
4* moon knight (1 cover)
4* invisible woman (1 cover)

i'm guessing it's gotta be 2 of the 4* covers but not sure which two.

Mordy, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 00:36 (seven years ago) link

love XFW, the rest eh

Nhex, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 00:40 (seven years ago) link

Pro Moon Knight: I've read that he's gangbusters at high levels.
Con MK: His powers are butt-random.

Pro Invisible Woman: if that cover of hers is yellow, you have a chance of beating her DDQ 4* node.
Con IW: You'll never use her otherwise.

Pro Wolverine: His black at 5 covers is a nuke.
Con XFW: He used to be the best 4*, now he's middle-of-the-pack (praising with faint damnation).

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 00:48 (seven years ago) link

it's a green invisible woman :( so xfw + mk?

Mordy, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 00:50 (seven years ago) link

In that case, yep.

Announcement: I've just champed Iceman!

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 02:11 (seven years ago) link

Update: I recommend championing Bobby.

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link

So now i got 23 three stars champed and all of the two stars.
I guess i will keep grinding until all the three stars are champed.
Yay. This is fun.

17 to go, wheeeeeeeee

i believe that (s)he is sincere (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 05:05 (seven years ago) link

during the last event, quicksilver and invisible woman were boosted, and i must say that is a pretty fun combo. her force bubbles count as the "same" as his... blur bubbles? so you can make 2-3 blue matches, get 7 blue AP, wait until there's another blue you can make (be it regularly or via quicksilver's black power, as long as you have 5 black AP), pop her blue power, bubble up 3 team-up tiles, and then make the blue switch and hit his supersonic. You can do this shockingly quickly with the two of them.

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 14:33 (seven years ago) link

my current combo of favor is iron fist/scarlet witch/power man
you lose blue and red but you can farm purple and black and demolish teams by the seventh round or so
switch two star hawkeye for luke cage and you can skate by any of the non character fights virtually untouched.

thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 14:53 (seven years ago) link

if i can hit another luke cage cover or two in the next couple of weeks, he is definitely getting champed. have him at 12 covers now... actually have almost enough iso to champ another already, but none of my cover 14s are coming up in DDQ for a while. he might just be worth doing immediately. considering my upcoming ddq options are octopus, colossus, and ragnarok... mehhhh.

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 15:01 (seven years ago) link

Cage is doubtlessly worth it, Will.

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 15:37 (seven years ago) link

Project 2* Refresh is almost complete. I've sold all of my max champ 2*s and releveled and champed all of them except AstWolvie, Thor and Bagman. I'm now ready to champion my last lingering 3*s (Mohawk Storm, Beast, Deadpool, Quicksilver, Doc Ock, Colossus, Sentry, LOLnarok, probably in that order of priority) with a good pipeline of supplemental ISO coming in from all of the 2* covers I was wasting before which I can also use to beef up the better-covered characters I have in the 4* tier (XForce Wolvie, Jean Grey, IW (lol), Nick Fury, Elektra, SamCap)

Don't boo, vote (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 15:40 (seven years ago) link

and just this second i hit a squirrel girl 14th cover... does anyone use her? might just champ her because i can now (i can live without a high-level luke cage until he is champable, which don't be for at least 3 weeks unless i luck into some of his covers)

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link

I use her a lot, love her purple and green and that's a needed a color combo; obv behind Kamela Khan and Iron Fist but as they get hurt you can circulate her in.

droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 16:04 (seven years ago) link

obv behind Kamela Khan and Iron Fist and GSBW

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 17:10 (seven years ago) link

Squirrel Girl's utility doesn't really pop up until you put her up against someone who floods the board with special tiles, at which point she starts hitting like a Mack truck when she's boosted.

Well actually her green is generally okay, the only problem is that the countdown tiles don't often last long enough to dump out the dmg I want from them (the cascades from the destroyed tiles are helpful, though).

Don't boo, vote (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 17:51 (seven years ago) link

line up your AP right and patch/loki/squirrel girl can be a heckuva combo

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:14 (seven years ago) link

i went for it because i have no chill and i wanted a leg token. and what do i get surprise another 4* cover for something i didn't have yet, meaning i get to burn another roster spot for a character i may never use loooool

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 20:19 (seven years ago) link

Who do y'all use more: Mystique or Daredevil

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 20:41 (seven years ago) link

DD slightly more, but neither of them are in my regular rotation. Usually I'll team them up with Patch (and in DD's case, IM40 as well) to try to one-shot a scary opponent (with Mystique at 5/3/5 and making sure to do the Shapeshift/Masterstroke combo -- which by itself does 7K -- after Berserker Raging).

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 20:44 (seven years ago) link

Oh I might start to use Mystique more often as a black/purple generator, which goes well with XFW and XFDP.

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 20:45 (seven years ago) link

My feeling is that Daredevil is more useful overall. Mystique's black is amazing if you purple first, but otherwise her blue and purple don't seem very helpful overall.

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 20:48 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, DD is useful if you can get pair him with someone who can shake the board (Loki? Mags? 3* Cyclops?) or tile placers (QS, GSBW?) to try to match your red trap.

Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:06 (seven years ago) link

DD is better, especially against characters who flood the board with special tiles. His red can be hilariously fun (DD + IM40 = never match red, AI) but because it's a trap tile, it gets overwritten a lot by the characters you're probably bringing him in to counter.

I find Mystique more fun, though. Her purple/black combo can be DEVASTATING, particularly when she's boosted and especially because it involves a stun so you can stop one character and then nuke another.

Don't boo, vote (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:12 (seven years ago) link

I use Mystique A LOT. Her purple is tops: stuns, sets up the black boom, but also drains enemy AP. It's her best ability.

droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:16 (seven years ago) link

Purple blue is a useful combo too

droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:16 (seven years ago) link

DD is only good for the stun

droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:17 (seven years ago) link

DD is an antidote to characters who flood the board with special tiles (Daken, Blade, 3* Bullseye, CMags, Mohawk Storm, etc) which is somewhat situational; when you don't get that matchup, he's not super useful aside from red trap shenanigans. However, when you do get that matchup, you can stomp on some very annoying characters with him (add in the stun and it's even better).

Although I love Mystique, don't get me wrong. I find her more useful overall but I think DD has a better niche.

Don't boo, vote (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:21 (seven years ago) link

I agree with all that. I just don't encounter his useful niche very much so it comes down to his red and blue. I like his red but it sucks how often it gets overwritten
