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
― mh, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 21:16 (six years ago) link
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
― mh, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 21:20 (six years ago) link
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.
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
hah, my highest level 3* is at 174, so I have a ways to go
nine 3* champed characters total
no champed 4*
― mh, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 21:44 (six years ago) link
(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)

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.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 21:55 (six years ago) link
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
― mh, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 21:58 (six years ago) link
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.
― flippy bard (Will M.), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 22:00 (six years ago) link
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?
― mh, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 22:00 (six years ago) link
no just keep juggs
― Mordy, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 22:11 (six years ago) link
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'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.
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 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?

drcassino Posts: 141 Tile Toppler February 2016The 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
― mh, Wednesday, 19 July 2017 21:19 (six years ago) link
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
― mh, Thursday, 27 July 2017 21:10 (six years ago) link
killing the entire enemy team on your turn with passives is silly
― mh, Thursday, 27 July 2017 21:11 (six years ago) link
on THEIR turn, that is
― mh, Thursday, 27 July 2017 21:12 (six years ago) link
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
― mh, Thursday, 27 July 2017 21:26 (six years ago) link
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?
― mh, Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:40 (six years ago) link
yes
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:40 (six years ago) link
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.
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link
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
― mh, Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:43 (six years ago) link
btw Mockingbird seems kind of cool
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link
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
― mh, Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:51 (six years ago) link
don't dump champs unless you've maxed them out
― Mordy, Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:52 (six years ago) link
^^^ 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.
― albvivertine, Tuesday, 1 August 2017 22:42 (six years ago) link
AI will only do match-5s if it's in a straight line. /relurks

it thinks it’s matching four but gets the bonus
mpq sometimes makes me think of my friend that wrote the OCR blackjack-playing program and set it loose on yahoo games in like... 2001. does the desktop one sync with the others?
― mh, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 02:05 (six years ago) link
I think I read that they explicitly programmed the game to avoid taking match-5s, to make it easier to play
champed my c@arol a couple days ago, she is fierce & hilarious with loki.
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 08:18 (six years ago) link
if all goes well i'm gonna champ r&g this week. i just need 2 blue covers & i'm sitting at #4 overall in the PVE (which if that holds will net me 1 of them) and the progression cover for the next PVE is the second blue. one of the 4*s i'm most excited to play w/.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 16:20 (six years ago) link
I am glad that I gave in to the Mordo cards the game kept throwing at me and started leveling him right when they reworked him to make him better.
Also VERY glad I'd just champed Riri, who can now be hilariously OP when boosted
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 16:24 (six years ago) link
yeah r&g seem really fun.
I'm champing ghost rider I guess lol, I have an extra cover and already had him near 200, a bit of a head start. also drew another electra, for the 100000x time it feels like, maybe this time I'll champ her (have had her cover maxed for ages)
I would champ riri but I have her at 5-5-2 plus bunches of wasted red and blue covers, ugh. had her at 5-4-0 for a long time, until the recent boss event.
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 16:25 (six years ago) link
once again rolling my eyes
have a character at 3/5/1 and which cover does it give me? the middle one, of course

yeah boosted riri is great. her red does fantastic dmg and her blue generates tons of red. i've been pairing her with gwenpool this week and dominating.

I champed gwenpool and she's great to play, esp with a list of her cheat codes nearby.
