I guess I'll champ her? I've had her at max covers for probably two years.
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 16 November 2016 18:59 (seven years ago) link
one thing that would be really, really nice would be if there was an option to share covers with members of your alliance
like if you are building a 4* and you have maxed out a power but you keep pulling that cover to the exclusion of the others, if there was an option to toss that out to the alliance or someone in the alliance rather than just selling it or letting it expire
OR if you could pay ISO/hero points to transform a cover from one color to another, that would also be nice

signed, someone who is trying to rebuild 2* Bullseye and is stuck at 5-5-1 with no green covers in sight, who also ran into this when rebuilding 2* Johnny Storm but luckily grabbed that final black cover before the three reds that accumulated expired
― ¶ (DJP), Wednesday, 16 November 2016 19:14 (seven years ago) link
That would be great for players! But would totally tank impulse purchases.
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Wednesday, 16 November 2016 19:41 (seven years ago) link
oh I know it will never be implemented
this is why I could never work on a freemium game, I'd be too inclined to actually make it work rather than intentionally break it so ppl have to pay to progress

i am at 5/1/3 deadpool and have already torched one red, and didn't open the deadpool vault because there was only a red, so i guess they lost a lil bit of money there
― jingo unchained (Will M.), Wednesday, 16 November 2016 19:51 (seven years ago) link
same here, I just need a purple to max xfdp (at 5-2-5). have one red in my rewards queue now & I just got a 3 star dp that will give me ANOTHER red xfdp.
I'm saving cps to buy that last cover, on leeeeeeeee's advice, but it'll be a while, probably too long to use at least the first of those extra xfdp covers.
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 16 November 2016 20:09 (seven years ago) link
ack i've gotta stop opening heroic packs bc they keep giving me 4* chars I don't have spots for. i just drew a 4* jean grey (purple cover). so now i have 1 cover each of iceman (expires in 4 days), ghost rider (9 days), cyclops (12 days) and jean grey (14 days).

ooooor delete devil dinosaur, star-lord, howard the duck and carnage and roster them all?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 16 November 2016 23:33 (seven years ago) link
i've been saving up deadpool tokens and i have 20 savory tokens and the current vault has a yellow invisible woman which iirc can be used to beat the 4* challenge when it comes up (and i have a iw cover already and it just got buffed?) -- what do u guys think, should i spend them all and try to get them (with the risk that i have less than zero spots in case i draw the miles)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 16 November 2016 23:37 (seven years ago) link
lol Mordy I've stopped opening tokens too, not for roster-space reasons but because I've got quite a few 13-cover 4*s without the ISO to champ them.
Incidentally my current token stockpile:Elite: 10Heroic: 26Legendary: 2Savory: 16Sweet: 71
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Thursday, 17 November 2016 01:03 (seven years ago) link
To your actual questions: In your situation, Iceman, Cyclops, and Jean are among the best 4*s, you should try to accommodate them on your roster. The GR cover is expendable, sell it for sweet ISO.
I'd sell off:DDHowardCarnage
DD and Howard are both gimmicky 4*s and their covers are only available at certain times during the year. Between the two of them, Howard does have more useful powers, but compared to Iceman, Cyclops, or Jean? He's definitely not worth keeping in a roster crunch. Carnage is probably expendable for you too (he used to be useful as a PVP scarecrow, but I've heard that's not the case anymore).
Keep Star-Lord. He's pretty good now as an AP accelerator.
Lastly, I would not open your tacos right now -- with only 20 banked, the odds of getting that yellow IW are very remote. (I believe the number of tacos you should hoard should be around 80-100 if you want a better than 50/50 chance of nabbing a specific cover from your vault.)
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Thursday, 17 November 2016 01:14 (seven years ago) link
thk u :)
― Mordy, Thursday, 17 November 2016 01:16 (seven years ago) link
This is something dumb that I should know but: if I hoard taco tokens will they be used for the same vault I have now? Because my current vault has 2 four stars I don't care about presently.
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 17 November 2016 03:38 (seven years ago) link
hang onto them, when there's a new vault you can use those tokens on, you can shoot for the new pack of 4*s. just spend em when the vault is active (if it's in the stockpiled mode, it's straight random and i think includes the last pack of 4*s)
― jingo unchained (Will M.), Thursday, 17 November 2016 03:55 (seven years ago) link
ok excellent!

I've got quite a few 13-cover 4*s without the ISO to champ them.
― Meighton Leeester (Leee)
Same here. Right now I've got Bullseye, Beast, Colossus and Gamora, with 11-14 days to make the ISO to champ them. Any suggestions for how I should prioritize them, considering I might not earn enough to do all 4?
― Mike Dixn, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link
I assume you're talking 3*s?
My first thought would be this priority list:
Bullseye > Beast > Gamora > Colossus
Bullseye in particular can be hilarious if you pair him with someone who buffs special tiles and you use him to deliver death blows; you can flood the board with strike tiles surprisingly quickly, which will also power his purple and make it more likely you can continue flooding the board with strike tiles
Beast is great when buffed, mediocre unbuffed
As I understand it, Gamora is a good support character but I personally find her useless
I love the concept of Colossus and sometimes his yellow tank power is helpful for shielding fragile damage bombers but ultimately his powers are too expensive to rely upon
― ¶ (DJP), Tuesday, 22 November 2016 18:01 (seven years ago) link
I'd like Colossus a lot more if his protect power was blue or red so I could pair him with a glass cannon and IM40. Are there even any yellow-generating characters?
― mint challop (Will M.), Tuesday, 22 November 2016 18:06 (seven years ago) link
Kingpin
― ¶ (DJP), Tuesday, 22 November 2016 18:08 (seven years ago) link
(of course if you're using Kingpin I don't see using the generated yellow to power Colossus)
― ¶ (DJP), Tuesday, 22 November 2016 18:09 (seven years ago) link
2 and 3 Thor also kind of generates yellow, but not reliably. 4* Cyclops might generate yellow, but that'd be kind of pointless.
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Tuesday, 22 November 2016 19:19 (seven years ago) link
Anyone try out MTG:PQ to see if it's any good?

champed my DPXF and 4 Jean this weekend! have seven champed 4 stars now.

I have 3 (XFW, Flaptain, IW)
― ¶ (DJP), Saturday, 26 November 2016 20:35 (seven years ago) link
Flaptain would be nice. I guess I'll champ IW too.
I have XFW, XFDP, 4 Jean, 4 Thor, Miles Morales, Star-Lord, and X-23.
― droit au butt (Euler), Saturday, 26 November 2016 21:39 (seven years ago) link
Flaptain would be nice.
I just got clued in to this hilarious combo: Flaptain, SWitch, and Jean.

Dan, how do you like the buffed IW? Have you had a chance to flex her new muscles yet?
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Monday, 28 November 2016 20:31 (seven years ago) link
She isn't essential yet BUT she is much, much more useful than she used to be. Her powers now make sense; her yellow can give a brief respite to your entire team and her blue/green combo now goes after opponents' special tiles in a much more predictable manner than before AND gives you strike tiles to boot.

I drew my first OML red yesterday! now 2-2-1, with the black daily reward coming soon. he is now usable!

I will say this: the new IW is a gigantic PITA for an underpowered Quake to take down by herself
― ¶ (DJP), Monday, 28 November 2016 21:36 (seven years ago) link
My Quake is 2/2/4, and I leveled her to 168, and I beat IW in two (undramatic) tries with a bunch of damage boosts.
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Monday, 28 November 2016 21:38 (seven years ago) link
Hmm. Mine is 3/2/3 lvl 168 and I could barely get her down to 50%.
― ¶ (DJP), Monday, 28 November 2016 21:41 (seven years ago) link
which damage boosts?
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 28 November 2016 21:42 (seven years ago) link
+50% green, +50% blue, +100% all.
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Monday, 28 November 2016 21:48 (seven years ago) link
My General strategy: * First priority is to deny green. Blue is a secondary color to deny.* Save Quake's blue for getting rid of IW's strikes or invisibility tiles. If that doesn't get rid of them, Quake's green will be a last-ditch effort to match them away.* You're smarter than the AI, so make smarter matches.
― Meighton Leeester (Leee), Monday, 28 November 2016 21:51 (seven years ago) link
lol I actually switched to those dmg boosts to see if that was my downfall and got it on my 3rd attempt
Note to self, dmg boosts rule, you should use them

FYI, after complaining to CS about getting a 6th green Phoenix for my 5/0/5, they said that they'd only change the color of the queued 5* cover if the character comes from a Latest pull.

just opened my 10-pack - all 2 stars and a 3 star cyclops (tho i needed a few of those 2 stars so not too terrible).
advice time!
i have 3 3* chars ready to be champed but reasonably only enough iso for one of them. cyclops i have 5 extra covers for that i could use after he's champed. captain marvel i have 2. blade i have 2. what do you guys think? thinking it's between cyclops + blade - and maybe cyclops just edges it out because he has so many more covers to use?
― Mordy, Friday, 9 December 2016 02:02 (seven years ago) link
cyclops and blade are both pretty awesome and worth champing both at some point. i think cyclops also gets the edge for having 3 useful actives and blade's passive makes him fit only on teams not too reliant on red abilitiescapt marvel can be put on the backburner
― Nhex, Friday, 9 December 2016 02:28 (seven years ago) link
definitely Cyclops
I love Blade but Cyclops
