The main strategy I've seen (and the one I used) is "chase blue/cast blue/chase black/keep Imaginaut up as long as possible/chase blue"

However, this was after respeccing to 5/3/5 so that the stun lasted 3 turns and the protect tiles were beefy enough to mitigate Doom's match damage and a lot of his attack tile damage; also the three turn respite gave me breathing room to clear out attack tiles without having the board change from under me with Doom's matches as well as grabbing more black/blue.

I would level him as I don't think you can fully avoid Doom's purple nuke and you are going to want as much health as you can get in order to survive it; hopefully you can then spot heal from it by letting Doom match your protect tiles (although with 1 blue... yeah)

yeah I didn't realize that his stun gets longer, that would help!

having his black in 5 doesn't seem much better than having it lower; I guess it now triggers on more colors than it does at lower levels? but they're not his colors! nor Doom's. and it doesn't do very much extra damage per match. I suppose boosting damage would help.

also they're bound to rework him soon (right?) so leveling him wouldn't be a waste.

my Electra's been 13 covered for like a year but I haven't bothered leveling her, but if they'd rework her too, I'd level her right away.

as it is, it's Flaptain time.

I expect they will do something with him; as he stands, apparently he does very well on defense with The Thing (confirmation, Leee?)

Elektra as-is pairs pretty well with IW now; chase yellow to make them invisible, chase black to give Elektra limited invulnerability that also damages the opponent, fire blue/green/red/purple as they become available to you, giggle at nuke damage becoming completely irrelevant for decent portions of the match while your chip damage escalates due to strike tiles.

It's also great because even though an AoE can hit IW through her invisibility, it can't get through Elektra's black traps.

I'm def on board with the new IW; her green bombs do like 8k damage. & I love her colors, she works well with the better 4 stars b/c her color distro is rare

oh apparently my MF is 2-3-5, a little better than I thought. I think it'll help if I can get some blues off in order to trigger his heal.

any advice on how to do this battle with a l150 1-2-5 MF (lol) ? I can probably level him to 160 if that would make a big difference.

Based on *sigh* last year's matchup between MF and Doom, I would say don't bother, but Doom is supposed to be nerfed more this time to make this fight fairer. For some context, today I beat this on my first try without boosts (5/3/5 276), but did eat Doom's purple twice, the first one did 7K damage, and the second one I don't remember. I survived both, though. I think I had 4K health left at the end.

I expect they will do something with him; as he stands, apparently he does very well on defense with The Thing (confirmation, Leee?)

I haven't run this duo together in PVP, though in my mind, it wouldn't be that effective against other mature 4* rosters. For PVE though? Not bad! And that's why I like Mr. F so much, because I spend most of my waking hours playing PVE. :|

updated my roster: https://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/mordy/

no huge changes - a few more 3* chars got to 13 covers, i champ'd human torch, and i'm pretty sure i'm going to champ quicksilver and black panther next (including selling the 2* max'd chars i have the iso to do it easy). also pulled a 4* luke cage and a 4* nova, both of which i should be able to roster (gonna sell of ragnarok for one spot and try to grind the HP for the other). at this point more than half my 3* chars are champed so i guess now it's just the slow slog of finding new 4* covers until i have someone sufficiently covered to start using? i'm guessing that once all my 3*'s are champed i'll start hitting 4* cover rewards more frequently (esp w/ the 2* farm feeding them up).

so what are some solid teams? i know about loki/cmags/patch, and some combo of lazy thor/im40 is always good. love using scarlet witch + kamala khan together or separately both are fantastic. any other key combos at the 3* champ level?

iron fist with lazy thor (respec to 5-5-3) + IM40

Fist with Black Panther, 3* Cyclops, or any other hard-hitting black user.

Fist + Cage + CMags/Vision.

Scarlet Witch + GSBW + 2* Hawkeye

KK + IM40 + Lazy Cap is what I call Team Boring, because it's so tediously easy.

to piggyback off of Leee's first team, put in SWitch to generate purple to fuel IF and it's basically "lol @ node"

oh ALSO: Thanos/Patch/Daken

2 self-healers plus a character who AoEs everyone else on the board every time your team downs someone, which your healers then heal back up from

Oh, one I actually use often: Fist, Blade, Daken/Falcon. If your Doc Strange is leveled enough, you can sub him in for any of the above.

patch/daken/loki obvs

also been enjoying SWitch/GSBW/Lazy Thor

doc is pretty nuts vs goon teams if you have a few yellow covers

woo. my heroic 10-pack had a star-lord and a kingpin.

nice! I should get my 10 pack today. still working on champing flaptain, at 229 now.

I need to stop spending command points for a while. The last 6 covers I pulled were all for characters where I had already maxed that particular color out.

hate that feeling. I write customer service every time and they blow me off but it's good practice for keeping up with government these days

I'm merc'ing out this new civil war event because if I can get all three red hulk covers I'll be able to champ him.

It is kind of hilarious reading the forums and realizing that most of the people who post there want every single character to be capable of running a 5-stage gauntlet of boosted goons solo rather than figuring out how to put together different character combos to maximize the given abilities of the characters we have. There's currently a thread going about "which 3* characters would you improve" and every suggestion is basically "turn this character into god-mode".

Conversely, the people who are trying different combos and posting them are my favorites; there was another thread where someone mentioned they were running Elektra andPatch on PvE nodes, which I tried, and it was LUDICROUSLY POWERFUL (collect purple and black, Berserker Fury, drop a black trap, use Elektra's purple to steal and buff enemy strike tiles, drop a red trap, match black and purple and watch the enemy team get decimated while you take no damage). His third, to add even more injury to injury, was 4Cyke.

btw Nova vs FalCap was laughably easy for me with a lvl 188 0/4/4 Nova (+2 all, +2 r/y, +2 b/g). I just threw out strike tiles and prioritized red until FalCap cast yellow, then prioritized matching shields. Ended with something like 4K health left and FalCap never got to cast his nuke.

yeah I just did it too, without boosts even. My Nova is 1-4-1, maybe level 120? drew a Miles Morales which is fine, another champ level, at l276 now.

I got a champ level for Jean, putting her at 273.

Jean rules.

I drew a green Iceman earlier on command points, 4-3-1 now, still a ways away but closing in finally

Hey just so you guys know, 4* Carol Danvers isn't in Heroic or Legendary tokens yet -- she'll be included at the start of next season (like a week away), which is why I've stopped opening them.

And FWIW, my Nova is now 5/5/3 (thanks to a daily resupply plus splurging on the current taco vault), but he's only at 94 (his Crash is still easy). I'm not going champ him yet because my Rulk is 5/2/5 with a purple in the queue, so I'm saving up my ISO for youuuuuuuu.

I'm so far from having all the 4 stars I want that I draw legendaries as soon as I have them.

I have lots of undercovered nigh-useless 4*s on the roster

i have (14) rostered 4*'s that only have one cover ea

but i figure you've gotta have them to build them so

got enough iso to champ 2 more 3*'s. which two of the following: gamora (1 xtra cover), daken (1), spider-man (1), doc oc (1), bullseye (2), rocket & groot (2), and cpt marvel (4)

i'm leaning towards cpt marvel and... rocket & groot maybe?

in addition to those my remaining 3*s that i don't have any extra covers lying around for - mystique, psylocke, punisher are all at 13 covers. deadpool, squirrel girl, sam wilson, are at 11. luke cage is at 10, thanos is at 9, iron fist is at 8, beast is at 7 and dr strange is at 6. i don't have cyclops or ragnarok rostered. beast i rostered super late so that makes sense it's so low and dr strange and thanos are both recently introduced. any idea why luke cage and iron fist (especially!) are so low? i'm pretty sure i've been collecting them about as long as my others... do they purposely have a lower drop rate or on the schedule less frequently or something?

re: your lack of Cage and Fist, it's just the caprices of luck, and you've had some bad.

I think the ILX consensus pick would be R&G. His blue strikes are nasty, and he has a true heal that's bailed me out a number of times in the past. Beyond that, it'll come down to your preference. I use Bullseye every day in the Big Enchilada (trying to fill the board with strikes is a diverting challenge), and I also use Daken on easier PVE missions or when I need to spam out strike tiles quickly (like against Hood). Either of these guys also has a 2* counterpart, so that you'd be able to get their 3* covers.

Also - is it possible to participate in cap and im? Bc it looks like it is? Are we just concentrating on one?

do Iron Man

also Rocket & Groot is what you want

I had to wait forever for fist, but once I got him fully covered they just kept coming.

Cage took even longer.

yeah R&G by a mile, his blue + yellow healing is killer

lol I still don't even have R+G rostered

This took me 20 minutes to beat:

So if you see a team of OML, IW, and Howard, please skip.

i was hoping we'd hit the 2nd rulk at least :/ guild not active enough imo!

I now have two purple Rulk covers that I will eventually have to sell because I can't get the other colors fast enough

I switched alliances for the civil war (might stay there?) and got 3 Rhulk covers and 3 Spiderwoman covers for progression: we balled super hard. event tokens were nice too. now my Rhulk is 3-5-5 and ready for champing. recently drew the last Cho cover I need for champing too. champed Flaptain the other day & he is fun with OML. 11 champed 4 stars now.

that sounds amazing; are they looking for any new members?

the place to look is on the forum's alliance recruiting page (can link if you like). this alliance was looking for a merc for the civil war, & I bit. my roster is really taking off & I can punch hard now (5 star scaling hasn't really hit me yet since my highest is a 360 OML).

I have to admit that I've been considering scanning that forum page

we'll always have ILG for support

my one warning if you're gonna join another alliance: try to avoid one that requires you use the dumb Line chat app. it's just a hassle.

They're buffing Mr. Fantastic and "buffing" 3* Falcon.

Bird Strike was generally useless to me so i guess that's a buff

are these super lightning rounds new? they're pretty cool - only like 20 ppl in them. i just finished #1 overall in one and scored 2 Fight and Flight tokens. (sadly got nothing too special out of them)
