Marvel Puzzle Quest Support Group

geeez, i misread the luke cage 4 yellow ability and thought it was just X damage + 3 fortified tiles. didn't realize it was x damage PER fortified tile (calc'ed after fortifying)!

i've got him at 5/4/1 right now which... isn't the best honestly but i'm pouring my iso into him in the hope that i can get a few more red covers

C4ge's yellow is so, so good

opened my 10-pack all 2*s second season in a row so lame :/

I somehow stumbled across a 14th Wasp cover so I champed her (sorry Gwenpool). Been getting a bunch of 4* Gamora covers which is a-ok by me.

I just champed gwenpool. Cloak and dagger and riri are maxed and jessica drew and mordo are both at 12 covers. Not sure I'm super enthusiastic about any of them. Bl4de continues to be my most used char just bc the strike tiles and passive red are such great quick dmg dealers. I have coulson c4rol and medusa all champed but they all feel more like support chars. Gwenpool s green is huge tho so maybe I can swap her into that dps slot

Coulson, Medusa and C4rol are all support characters but the level of support they provide is ludicrously high. Put Medusa up with or against a special tile spammer (hi dere Carnage) and you can make yourself almost invulnerable. Pair Coulson with someone with cheap powers and you will find yourself drowning in AP. C4rol can accelerate herself for decent damage and tile-buffing but put her with anyone who fires quick cooldowns (Coulson, Wasp, Blad3, Human Torch, etc) and anyone with special tiles (Wasp, Bl4d3, C4g3, non-XForce Wolverine, Ant Man, X23, R&G, etc etc etc) and you will find that you are doing 5K in match damage.

Don't sleep on support characters, they can radically change how you play the game.

no for sure i agree 100% i just like to pair support chars with someone who can put out more heavy dps - i find the variety makes for more consistency since a lot of the support often depends on things going right and if they don't it can turn into a disaster. so it means i end up overusing bl4de and i could use other similar types to match w/ my [agreed very powerful] support chars.

I'm still doing the three-star grind before the game regularly gives me a lot of four stars. Dr. Strange very appealing at the minute

Dr Strange rules really hard

finding the 4* grind incredibly slow myself, but i've got 5 or 6 champed at this point. feel like those 5*s will never happen, though

I just got my last needed Gwenpool cover, gotta decide if she's worth champing. I'm currently taking my 5-4-3 Peggy to 250 (she's my 4 star bonus hero so I'll get the last cover soonish).

Apparently her green hits like a truck when she's champed, similar to Peggy.

Nice

Buffed bl4de in pve has been hilarious

Buffed Bl4de is incredible, basically:

- collect red
- win

i've got about enough iso to champ another 4* but not sure who i want to champ. cloak + dagger are ready (and i have 2 covers on the vine) but idk, they don't seem so thrilling? (i love the characters but not sure i love the abilities.) riri is ready too but even less thrilled about her kit. iron fist is 4/4/4 atm so i could wait a bit until he's ready... (mordo + spider-woman also at 12 covers). agent venom is at 11 and i'll prob get a bunch of covers for him from the current dr strange event. but... no one likes him at all right? thoughts?

Cloak and Dagger, no question IMO

I'm dying for a yellow battery to stick with C4ge so he can smash like crazy more often, plus they have a true heal

of your others, I would advocate pretty strongly for Spider-Woman just because her black will save you healthpacks and her purple can smash under the right circumstances

Iron Fist, as I use him more, can also be great esp with C4ge. Although with both of them using black and yellow to drive critical abilities, that brings me back to C&D as a black/yellow battery.

I would not level riri until a rework

I champed Peggy Carter this week, now that is a character.

i'd love to champ peggy but i'm way off from that

how is vaulting supposed to work? are they going to cycle older characters in at some pt?

I doubt they're going to cycle in old characters (he says, mournfully looking at his lvl 156 2/5/2 Iceman)

You'll have to favorite them to have a chance to pull them.

4* Cap Marvel, Coulson, 3*/5* Hawkeye is a ridiculous team. Makes cheap countdown tiles, gains AP when they go off, also has two passives that decrease the countdowns.

since Bl4de is boosted right now, I've been running a couple of different configurations with him:

vs tile movers, Bl4de, PHX, Hulkbuster: The entire point is to use PHX and Hulkbuster to put red on the board and generate red AP for the team, getting both The Hunger and Bloodlust to trigger faster and letting Bl4de eat the other team in 3-4 turns with his passive damage.

vs goons, Bl4de, C4ge, Strang3: Here, the idea is to kill the other team with Strang3's and Bl4de's passives while C4ge's passive negates their damage.

hey guys - a friend of mine just joined the alliance. there was an open space so I hope it's okay? IGN "the moosh"

wtf I have been sweating it in a rando alliance waiting for you guys to open a spot!

my new bros seem cool, but let me know if anything opens up next time

ah sorry. i kick people every week for being idle

i just kicked someone else, get in

personally my contributions have been minimal though - i just check in once a day. i'm about ready to pass the reins if anyone wants to take it on

Spider woman in battle looks like Bono

lol

Every time her black fires I'm going to sing "it's a beautiful DAAAAAAAAY"

champed AV yesterday - monster 16k red ability when he's buffed

if i can raise 400k more iso in 7-10 days maybe i'll champ riri too

I'm about to champ Riri. Mordo is next in line as I've got a couple of covers waiting for him.

I am about to stab someone if I draw yet another yellow M4rvel.

i did make it to champ riri. now i've hit a huge iso bottleneck. i just champed ragnarok since i had 4 covers on the vine. now i'm about to champ starlord (i've got 4 for him too), but then i need another ~70k for 2*hawkeye in 10 days (~10 covers), & ~120k for beast in 12d (~7 covers), which are both doable but i also have bum fist covers about to expire (1 in 6d , 2 in 12d). i'm thinking... the 6d bum fist is definitely not going to happen. maybeeee i can champ him in time for the second 2 tho...

what have u guys been hearing about him? he seems kinda meh.

on the note of more fun characters my rocket & groot are at 8 covers now and my gamora is at 10 - pretty hyped to champ both of them in the near future

I've heard that when Hobo Fist is boosted, he can be insane; also, pairing him with C4ge and flipping all those shields to strikes seems like an awesome thing to do (even if Wasp is better at it)

Is hobo fist the 4 star one? I dunno if he's good, really I only know when I get surprise slaughtered by a character and he's not gotten me yet (4 cage on the other hand)

have recently champed gwenpool, and I've just fully covered both medusa and carol danvers so my next 1000000000 ISO is accounted for (well medusa's at 210ish already but carol's at 70). Also have a fully covered agent venom with an extra cover in the queue but that's a lot lower priority than the ladies who are like current best in game

For someone who is not playing this anymore, I'm sure going hard to get the last 80k ISO to champ Medusa with a cover in queue. Also wtf @ my rando alliance slacking on the boss event, hope am I in first? And we probably won't be getting the Carol covers¡

my new alliance is so good. top 100 pve + often top 100 pvp. cleared the boss event in 24 hours.

The ILX alliance does not give a fuck about the event, or maybe I am too obsessed with it.

(We did get a Carol cover so I'm not really complaining. Also I will have Carol champed in like the next day.)

Just so happens that the first C4rol cover in the boss event is the one I already have 5 in.

Xxp Ithought that but I am lame as hell and not in last place. At least I was not earlier before goi;g to a music fest. Checking in now, for the team.

DJP, you mind if I give you control of the Alliance?

Uh I guess no? I'm not gonna do anything but kick ppl who haven't played in a week

that's the job, you got it

Oh is that still going? Any spaces free?

It is still going, no free spaces at the moment. I'll send up an alert if space does become available.

Thanks.

hey everyone, do we know who thumbalina and moonrie are? neither has played in a week.

u can kick me ...

are you thumbalina?
