(before coming back to the thread I mean)

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.

what do ppl think of Medusa?

I think that I want one (and so am grinding semi-seriously in the current pve)

Her purple at higher levels looks super rad.

I would very much love to run a Medusa/Carnage team

Team Tendril!

also lolling at the idea of her running into OML or Patch

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?

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 abilities
capt marvel can be put on the backburner

definitely Cyclops

I love Blade but Cyclops

Cyclops is top 2 or 3 three star, def him

i just champed rags the other day because lol

i have four left to champ... two aren't at 13 covers yet (strange and, embarrassingly, bullseye) and two are ready but prob won't get champed for a very long time (colossus, doc oc).

i'm at the point where i actually really need to be pouring iso into my 4*s! yay

it's fun to play with 4 stars when you've been running the same 3 stars for a couple of years. I did my usual last-minute 0->2000 shield sim thing, this time running with OML, DPXF and 4 Jean (mostly, swapped her with X-23 a couple of times). OML tanked 3 colors, someone would hit him hard, DPXF's passive would trigger & do almost 4000 damage, and OML would heal his damage in a couple of turns.

ended up getting the Medusa after a last day grind in the last PVE, & the blue Ant-Man cover for 900 in the She-Hulk PVP (having a champed 4 Thor helped a lot since she was buffed last week). I don't have any of this week's buffed 4 stars reasonably covered so I'll lay lower this week, still should be able to get the green Moon Knight in the PVE though.

The only 3s I have left to champion are Rags and Dr Strange. Changed Doc Ock is surprisingly awesome in the right situation/combination but not so much that he's an essential character. (Still the week both he and Carnage were boosted was hilarious.)

I can imagine he's fun but at this point I am just happy a) having all of the 3s, and b) champing the ones who give me covers for 4*s i might one day use. (the trade of 125k iso for a legendary token is no longer as attractive as it once was)

i don't currently have any 4*s at 13 covers that aren't already champed (only hulkbuster and xfw) but flaptain's at 12 so he's priority one. (he's also 4/4/4 so he can go 12 on ANY cover, which is a damn fine feeling). after that... invisible woman has 11, elektra has 10, 4thor has 11 (but it's 2/5/4), and after that... the >9 cover characters get into the weeds (devil dinosaur, anyone...?).

i imagine new 4s will enter the conversation by the time i get those three up to their level maxes, but if not, it's back to the "champing all of my 2s and 3s" mine for me!

I just realized that if I can put together 300K in ISO over the next 10 days, I can champ... Devil Dinosaur

lol

I got my first 3 star to level 200 yesterday, BWGS.

right now I just save ISO for whatever 4 stars I have decently covered are buffed for the week. today I spent 30k iso on getting Moon Knight to l147, which is like l250 buffed. I still have enough that if I happened to pull a Nick Fury purple (currently 5-5-2) I could 270/champ him right away. otherwise I slowly accrue 4 stars, like got a 3rd blue Wasp cover yesterday off the Fury Deadpool Daily Legendary token.

I got wasted by a champed Invisible Woman the other day, with the 4/5 star team in shield sim I mentioned above (OML, DPXF, 4 Jean), and she ain't bad. She got off an invisibility I couldn't match, and they took out my Jean, so I had no team damage to deal. Then she got off a second, and third invisibility, and I couldn't keep up, even with OML healing.

the new IW is deceptively dangerous now

why 10 days for devil D, djp? why the deadline?

That's when the first of the two extra covers I have for him would expire.

whoa, you got devil dino covers 4 days ago? is he in the rotation now???

I've just been playing this game a long-ass time; DD is the daily reward for days 1097 and 1098 (and 1093, which is when I cover maxed him).

holy shit... now i wish i hadn't taken a bunch of days off (altho tbf it was because my phone didn't work well and when i got a new phone i kinda resisted reinstalling for a long time)! I think i'm only around 900 now.

mine's 2/3/5 now so hopefully i get an A or B cover for DD by then so I can champ him... otherwise with those cards i'll have him at 3/4/5 + 1... altho who cares lmao it's devil dinosaur

Someone on the forums is suggesting that we should be able to spend resources (ISO or hero points) to convert a cover to a different color when we pull one for an undercovered character that is already maxed. I think this is entirely reasonable which means it will either never be implemented or not show up until around 2018.

that'd be nice, considering i have pulled TWO extra purple miles covers for my 5/0/4 miles, and one extra red cover for my 5/0/2 4cyclops :(

it will either never be implemented or not show up until around 2018.

By that point we'll be chasing after the newest 6* releases.

hahaha *cry*

Just because I want to share the jargon:

I pulled a(nother) green Cho for my 5/3/4 (plus a 3/0/0 dupe), so now I'm in a race to get 120 CP by 12/22. I'll have over 50 by the end of today, so with PVE and champion rewards, 70 more CP over 11 days should be doable, especially if I start playing PVP to 575.

My Cho is 5-3-4 too!

I drew another green Venom today; mine's at 5-1-1 and that's like the 4th wasted green I've pulled. I coulda duped but he's not very good.

Can I just say Professor X is hilarious? I just had an hour long Best Friends match where I let Thing/Kingpin tear down my sacrificial Phoenix and kept Prof invisible the entire match, slowly buffing protect tiles and chipping away at their boosted 30K health. At the end, I won with Prof X having taken about 500 points of damage and a 16.5K protect tile on the board.

lol

Is your Prof champed? Is it worth doing?

He is lvl 168 3/2/3. I plan on champing him because throwing out a bunch of special tiles on a match-5 and then crazy buffing them with every match after going invisible seems like something I would want to champion, regardless of how you have to gimp him to make Winfinite combos work.

Oh wait, it's dmg blast per match-5, special tiles per teammate/team-up power invocation

Regardless, he is hilarious

got mine at i think lvl 188, 5/2/2, running him with match5 generators (i think charlies angels mentioned above) is indeed hilarious

i just opened 45 sweet tokens i got:

9x 500 iso, 6x 1000 iso, 1500 iso, 5000 iso, 5x 2* magneto, 3* rocket & groot, 3* storm, 2x 250 hero points, 2* thor, 3* luke cage, 2* storm, 3* daken, 2x 5 health packs, 10 health packs, 2x 2* daken, 2x 2* steve rogers, 2* human torch, 2* hawkeye, 3* magneto, 2x 2* black widow, 3* ragnarok, 2* ares, & 3* mystique

sadly no 1000 hero points, legendary token, miles morales or spider-gwen. also sadly did not get any of the 2* covers the fishing trip was an expedition for - 1x yellow Ares cover and 2x blue storm covers.

anyway, that comes out to a total of 7000 iso and except for the Ares, Storms, Rocket & Grott and Ragnarok all covers i can use

also i made one of these https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/mordy/

I champed Nick Fury this weekend, running at 5-5-3 now, super cool

Whoa Mordy why is your Hood 5-4-4? His raison d'être is Dormammu's Aid (his blue passive). Whether you 5 Twin Pistols or the black is personal preference but you gotta 5 that blue.

oh ok - i rarely use him, probably bc he's so ineffective as currently spec'd. thank you for looking and correcting me tho! i really should go through the faqs or whatever and get the right specs for everyone

Your Hulk and IM40 are a bit weird too: Hulk's black is his best, 5 loads the board with green and makes him solid on defense. His red is garbage. IM40, i would 5 red rather than blue but try to avoid using both. His yellow is top shelf (on offense at least).

Would recommend 3-5-5 for Daredevil and Steve Rogers too.

One more and I'll shut up: 5-3-5 for Kamela Khan

no plz tell me everything for as long as you want

i've also got 200k iso so even if i save enough to champ ares + storm when they're ready i could still probably champ another 3 star in the next week. i have an extra loki cover, doom cover, 2x captain marvel covers, & human torch cover -- so if any of those look champable they could be good choices - or if you see another 13 cover one i have that would be a great champ.

i also have 425 stars if you see like a 4-star cover you think would benefit from those...

People swear by Captain Marvel but I find her boring. Loki is an immediate champion IMO just because him + CMags is still excellent (3 board shakes, 2 nukes, a strike/protect steal, an AP steal and a protect generator with all colors covered)

looking at your roster, I'd prioritize 3* champs as:

Loki (must have to pair with CMags)
Patch (deadly 3rd for Loki/CMags)
Blade (Thirst/Keep Yr Enemies Closer synergy is A+)
Vision (his blue, esp when boosted, is terrifying now as long as he's tanking colors)
3* Torch (black is great if you exhausted your other colors before firing it and his red nuke refunds AP)
Doc Ock (super situational, but in those situations he is mad mad helpful)
Doom (if you can get enough of his traps on the board, he can one-shot practically anyone)
Mystique (Shapeshift/Masterstroke synergy is A+)
Captain Marvel (if you can get her generating red, she can spam Photonic Blasts, making protect tiles irrelevant and triggering team passives like Kamala Khan's heal, or Prof X's special tile generation)
