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?

Just wanted to check in on you guys. Keep on keeping on.

i can vouch for thumbalina - i'll give her a nudge

got my first 900 in the quicksilver PVP

holy crap I just got the twofer by pulling a three star card and it gave me the two Dr Stranges I've been hoping for

I feel like I'm finally catching up to the point where I'm building four stars, but champing my remaining three stars is taking some effort

champing 3s is an ongoing effort IMO; I've been playing this game forever and my highest level 3* is... Blad3 at 240. I only just champed 3* Star Lord last week after several long stretches of pulling green covers after already having 5.

That said, I do have 17 champed 4s, including Bl4de, C4ge, and M4rvel, with 5 max covered characters in the pipeline so I don't have much standing to complain.

hah, my highest level 3* is at 174, so I have a ways to go

nine 3* champed characters total

no champed 4*

(To complete my insufferability, I've built out my 2* farm to the point where I can run a max level character and build a duplicate champ to replace for 6 characters at a time; I'm going for full duplication so I can always have whatever required 2* I need at 144.)

9 champed 3* characters isn't bad! Definitely progress, and I think you're getting close to that wonderful sweet spot where you're still filling out your 3* roster but you don't have enough characters in 4* land to eat all of your ISO where you can start breaking even on ISO acquisition/usage. (That goes out the window once you start leveling 4* characters; 360+K ISO per character = ouch)

jesus christ

your ability to make iso goes up significantly tho too as you get faster/better at completing pve/pvp events, and adding covers to champed chars / selling 2* farm / earning shield levels all gain you more iso.

ok, I have to say that Dr Strange almost one-shotting the low level grenadiers when they have the audacity to create a countdown tile brings me joy

Geez, I never care about my 2*s that much. I maxchamp em, and sell em the moment i get another cover (so i don't miss pve nodes).

i've got a couple of 4*s in a good spot for the first time in a while! it's been a few months since i champed one (which i've done with everyone i've hit 13 covers with). been spending that iso on finishing my 2/3 champs (still got star3 and a couple 2's to go) but i'm gonna enjoy putting iso into my next two: jean 4 and carol 4. both at 12/13 (and grey's 4/4/4 so next cover finishes her)!

that'll probably take me a month or two. after those two, it's back to the 2*'s, maybe 3* starlord if he's ready, and then... not sure! medusa and bl4de and agent coulson are at 10 covers, 4thor's at 11... invis is at 12 cover and level 250 already, so maybe i fave her? or profx who's at 5/3/3? it is now occurring to me that faving someone who's not in the vault yet is maybe kind of a waste.

Is it worth keeping 1* characters at all for any reason other than the Deadpool daily thing? And do I really need three of em?

no just keep juggs

The only 1* besides Juggs you might want on your roster is an unleveled 0/5 1* Black Widow to send cheap team-up stuns, but if you're strapped for roster space, Juggs should be your only 1*.

And not that I'm bragging or anything, but I have 27 champed 4*s, and I haven't played this regularly in months. HI DERE DJP.

it is now occurring to me that faving someone who's not in the vault yet is maybe kind of a waste.

It's not a waste if you want to try to push them towards level cap faster; there's an entire playstyle centered around the idea of favoriting characters not in the vault because you double-dip on the covers and can push them into insane territory.

Geez, I never care about my 2*s that much. I maxchamp em, and sell em the moment i get another cover (so i don't miss pve nodes).

I'm doing this purely to maximize eventual ISO flow; once I have them all doubled, very few of the gigantic amount of 2* covers I get will go to waste. I also find that having them at level cap does actually help with required nodes; most of the time I have some other boosted characters that will protect them but having a max level 2 that can hold his/her own on their required node sometimes helps speed things along.

ps Leee, grrrr

I have 24 champed 4 stars, with 5 more fully covered (currently leveling C4arol). /dickpic

Only six champed 4*s here, i'm just a filthy casual i guess

9 as of today just champed hobo fist

I'm on the road to champing Hobo Fist

I could champ Mordo but... I don't wanna

lol me2

I was going to ask what the max damage Deadpool's charged up whale ability can do is, but apparently it's an instant kill every time? It doesn't work on bosses immune to powers, right?

The insta-kill button isn't quite an insta-kill. It actually does a little shy of 100K AOE damage, which is why it wasn't working in BoP to kill everyone. In addition, Elektra can shadow-step around it, and any character who's been knocked into the air by Nova, or thrown there by Colossus isn't effected.

crucial info

Spider Woman would also be able to avoid it if her black countdown is out, Riri and Vulture can go airborne and not hit it and Riri can take herself airborne to avoid it. (I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.)

I was kind of idly wondering how silly it is with Dr Strange and Thanos on the same team and this current event threw that at me! Fortunately the computer wasn't very good at it. I'm trying that combo myself now, and it's pretty funny

killing the entire enemy team on your turn with passives is silly

on THEIR turn, that is

My favorite PvE team right now is Thano5/SS/OML; basically, match 5 someone to death, Thano5 stuns everyone but SS and causes something like 6K of AOE dmg, SS isn't stunned so you still get boosted match dmg on red and blue as well as, plus SS can true-heal himself with blue and OML autoheals. On early PvE nodes, you can wipe out the other team in 1 turn with a friendly board; in later boards, one downed enemy usually means you win.

that's about ten levels of play above where I'm at but I'll revisit the post in a year

ok, my dumb question for the day:

when you're adding levels to a champed character, it will give you covers for the higher-leveled version of that character every few levels. if I dump a maxed champion, and get it up to champion level again, will it give me more of the same covers?

yes

This is why 2* characters are now worth keeping; the covers come frequently enough for you to constantly cycle through the championing cycle on all of them, netting lots of ISO, hero points, tokens, and covers for selected 3* characters.

woo hoo

btw I'm a little slow and the idea of dumping a champion and re-leveling never quite took in my brain until recently

btw Mockingbird seems kind of cool

the four-match revenge ability seems like it could be excellent

on a related note, do you guys think they will ever teach the AI how to match five? it just... doesn't know

don't dump champs unless you've maxed them out

^^^ sell price jumps DRAMATICALLY at max level

I hope they never teach the AI about T-shaped match 5s because that has saved my ass more than once

it will. ever understand

never, damn phone keyboard

I actually find it kinda frustrating that the AI wastes those t-5s. And I really like Mockingbird too.

AI will only do match-5s if it's in a straight line. /relurks
