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

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
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Tuesday, 1 August 2017 20:56 (six years ago) link
it will. ever understand
― mh, Tuesday, 1 August 2017 21:51 (six years ago) link
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
― Leee Media Naranja (Leee), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 01:28 (six years ago) link
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
― mh, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 16:28 (six years ago) link
Maybe I'll try running Elektra/Spider Woman/Invisible Woman and see how much damage I can mitigate in a given match
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 16:29 (six years ago) link
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.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 17:02 (six years ago) link
I champed gwenpool and she's great to play, esp with a list of her cheat codes nearby.
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link
yup, been a Riri/Gwenpool week for me, too
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 17:06 (six years ago) link
Does Webbed Wonder give a free (colorless?) Howard cover?
― Leee Media Naranja (Leee), Thursday, 3 August 2017 18:24 (six years ago) link
Think the update said 3500 ISO instead
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 3 August 2017 18:47 (six years ago) link
I just got my 13th CMarvel4 and champed her! But then I got my 13th... 4 venom (brock, not agent). So far I've champed every 4* i've had the opportunity to, but a) i've got a few at 12 covers that i might hit 13 on soon and i should maybe focus on them, and b) it's venom (i guess he got fixed/upgraded but is he any good now?). whatchu think, experts?
― flippy bard (Will M.), Thursday, 3 August 2017 19:48 (six years ago) link
i think if u don't have any covers on the vine for him you can afford to wait. c4rol is amazing btw you'll def enjoy her.
i just hit 900 in deadpool PVP using a Riri, Gwenpool, Deadpool combo and it's just OP as hell. Riri's blues let u fire off her reds a lot (which do 11k x2 or 25k dmg), Gwenpool green does like 8k x3 + deadpool's purple. only color i was wasting was yellow. even black was useful since boosted gwenpool's black ability mitigates pretty much all damage coming your way.
― Mordy, Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link
just 34min cleared WW (holding at 2nd overall) w/ grocket / medusa / SL combo. my SL only has 7 covers and my grocket is one cover short but it still is a bananas dominate combo. the SL turns the grocket strikes into 500 each and then medusa does a gazillion damage per turn w/ her countdown.
― Mordy, Friday, 4 August 2017 18:41 (six years ago) link
I just tried a super underpowered version of that team in DDQ (255 1/1/0 SL 5*, 1/2/3 lvl 70 RG 4*, 3/3/3 lvl 134 Medusa) and rofflestomped the node after the required 3* node. Gonna see how they fare on the lower level WW nodes.
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Friday, 4 August 2017 20:11 (six years ago) link
i was one-hitting the early nodes - i mean literally finished a bunch of them with one or two moves
― Mordy, Friday, 4 August 2017 20:15 (six years ago) link
That's why I run 375 3/4/2 SS, 345 4/2/0 OML, 345 3/2/3 Thano5 on most PvE nodes; if the opposing team's health is 6K or less, I can wipe them out in 1-2 turns with the right board, 3-5 turns with a bad one.
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Friday, 4 August 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
me stupid, what is SL 5?
― flippy bard (Will M.), Friday, 4 August 2017 21:16 (six years ago) link
5tarlord (i.e. 5* Starlord)?
― Leee Media Naranja (Leee), Friday, 4 August 2017 23:14 (six years ago) link
ohhhhh
― flippy bard (Will M.), Friday, 4 August 2017 23:42 (six years ago) link
There is a free Howard cover after all, by the way
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Saturday, 5 August 2017 22:41 (six years ago) link
y'all, new boosted Mordo is hilarious
glad I finally listened to the game and champed him
champing X-23 next, now that there's actually a possibility of getting covers for older 4*s again, which will bring me up to 21 champed 4*s; after I'm done with her, my only max cover unchamped 4* will be Nick Fury and I can pull tokens again (god I hate hoarding so much)
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Monday, 7 August 2017 15:00 (six years ago) link
I am ISO-poor and it is a sad state of affairs
I have two ** characters at 144 but don't want to dump Storm or Hawkeye right now :/
― mh, Monday, 7 August 2017 15:05 (six years ago) link
(for the ISO payout, that is)
well you oughta use the iso payout for them to rechamp them!
champing war machine now lol since I drew two of his covers on new unvaulted legendaries & I've had him max covered for some time
also drew my 5th green Phoenix today, have her at 5-3-2 (can take to 405). now that they're finally revising scaling (so far just in pve) I can think about leveling her!
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:26 (six years ago) link
At some point you'll want to, like when you get more covers of them. And although the Storm/Hawkeye/Magneto combo is great for the 2* DDQ nodes, there are other combinations that will let you breeze through (I've been using Wolverine/OBW/Carol). xp
― Leee Media Naranja (Leee), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:27 (six years ago) link
champed mordo too. he's pretty cool in tandem with C&D.
― Mordy, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:36 (six years ago) link
yeah, that's the problem, I've already dumped Wolverine and Carol for ISO and am running low on two stars
― mh, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:37 (six years ago) link
I recently switched my DDQ team to OBW/Ares/Carol so that I could champ Mordo and Bum Fist. Gonna funnel ISO back into rebuilding my 2*s once I've champed X-23.
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:37 (six years ago) link
I hate Ares, I think it's irrational but I just don't like using him
― mh, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:40 (six years ago) link
I mostly use whoever my highest leveled 2* are at the time---right now it's Thor and Bullseye and maybe Storm? I level them so fast now: a cycle is like a month?
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:42 (six years ago) link
ares is pretty good. i've been trying to double up all my 2*'s but i had to sell 4 champed ones to champ mordo
― Mordy, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:43 (six years ago) link
Ares is easily the best RYG 2* and can go buckwild pretty easily (esp with OBW; her healing pretty much mitigates his self-damage from Sunder and her purple helps accelerate him, although he's pretty fast on his own)
