Well, I just pulled what would make my coulson 3/6/4, so I guess I'm saving CP/ISO again to make him my next champ, heh

I finally get to champ Nova! WOOO

nice!
I drew my 13th spider gwen cover the other day, so now she's too on my long list of 13covered 4 stars to champ (after coulson, after nova, etc.)

I was starting to hoard and went "you know what, I want Gambit and Spidey" and spent 50 of the 57 CP I'd built up just to see what happened
"what happened" = 2 XFW covers
oops

I saved 140 CP before giving up and splurging. I got two 5* Thanos, a Silver Surfer and a bunch of 4*s I didn't need. that was great -- thanos was what i was saving up for. i think i learned the wrong lesson from this.

ppl on the D3Go forums are complaining that 5* Gambit is overpowered because they had to use health packs after figuring out how to beat him
there are plenty of reasonable arguments for Gambit being OP but that is not one of them

Lol Balance of Power is such a ridiculous event
My 5pidey/Gwen/Gambattery team upthread is undeniably fun
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 13 November 2017 17:17 (six years ago) link
I got my 16 wins super quick with medusa+gamora+grocket, very very fast, like 2 minutes per match. now I have like 2+ days left in the event. dunno if I will push higher but it was fun while it lasted!
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 13 November 2017 18:18 (six years ago) link
oooh wait I've max covered Grocket, I should try this team
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 13 November 2017 18:19 (six years ago) link
medusa+gamora+grocket is the THE team du jour, in shield sim last season it was 95% of my offered matches (I skipped EVERY one, it is deadly).
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 13 November 2017 18:25 (six years ago) link
oh yes it sucks for sure; I would often be able to beat it but my team was so badly torn up that I needed health packs for everyone
the best counter I had was "bring your own Medusa, match as many strikes as you can to mitigate the pain until you hit 10 purple, hope Hair Meddle steals the rest"
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 13 November 2017 18:27 (six years ago) link
do you have to run Hair Meddle at 5 then? for the saving grace of Medusa is her heal
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:34 (six years ago) link
yeah, I keep her at 5/3/5 because I have C4rol in the mix so often that the initial starting point for the attack tiles from Entanglement doesn't matter
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:36 (six years ago) link
c4rol is suddenly not someone I fear taking on, with the medusa + gamora + grocket team I leave her until last. I'm more scared of Coulson now. the main thing against C4rol is to avoid granting her free ap by matching your best color, so it helps that with my medusa + gamora + grocket the best color is yellow, which isn't an active color for any of them
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
lol my 5pidey/Gwen/Gambattery team just got me two defensive wins; I also clicked on a node to see who was up next and... it was 5pidey/Gwen/3* Gambattery
I might try them to see if my 5*'s match damage makes/breaks the match
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:43 (six years ago) link
how good is your 5pidey? mine is 1-1-3 and I'm not sure that's good enough to rock with Gwen yet (who I have fully covered but not champed yet)
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:44 (six years ago) link
okay, their Gwen was champed so she was stunning 2 characters at a time, which was terrifying; I almost lost 5pidey but due to everyone but Gambattery being stunned for several turns I had enough purple to stunlock the opposing team and Cherry Bomb their Gwen to death in one turn; I then matched tiles to trigger my Gwen's heal and then used purple and yellow to fill practically the entire board with web tiles, at which point it was pretty much game over
My 5pidey is 3/1/4; I was leveling him to 375 to match my other top 5s (Thano5, SS, PHX) but held off to restart my 2* farm. I might dump all of my ISO into Gwen instead and champ her just to respec to 5 purple (she is currently 168 4/4/5)
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:54 (six years ago) link
as long as Gambit remains the way he is, Gwen seems essential.
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 13 November 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link
I am seriously considering creating a dupe if I pull a red or purple cover for him because his strength as a PVE battery (or a PVP climb engine) is too high, plus as noted he makes Gwen completely broken (I was prioritizing 5pidey's red over Gwen's until I realized that, at least in BoP, 2 Cherry Bombs + match dmg kills most of the characters I'm fighting).

I've seen that combo around but couldn't get it to work for me. I think my problem was a combo of bad board and premature firing of abilities.

anyone have any strong opinions about the change to xp now that it's been there a while? i remember kinda hating it when i read it because i had already recruited every 4* for example but i have noticed it has really attached a rocket pack to my levelling up. i think i got about 2000xp in the past... less than a week? Def helped me get my Agent Coulson champed way ahead of schedule!

much more xp from covers, but no xp gained from some other actions. Donating team-ups for xp was boring and I'm glad that's gone.
― Einstein, Bazinga, Sitar (abanana), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 03:48 (six years ago) link
XP from getting the initial 13 covers on a 3*/4* character went from 5/10 to 40/80 meaning newer players will get a bigger benefit now, but I don't think it makes a big difference.

I drew my last Phoenix cover! Too bad evidently champing a 5 star ruins the game. I also drew my last Vulture cover, will champ next after Gambitand eventually Nova who is great but I keep putting off champing him for other more urgent needs
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 20 November 2017 21:19 (six years ago) link
Champing Nova right before his boost week = personal win
Champing him when I have a 5* Gambattery at 0/0/3 = lol into the air you go, all the time
Throw a boosted Prof X in there and it's just silly; the board fills with special tiles and then I make Prof invisible so he can start buffing them and the whole thing becomes super murdery very quickly
I have been laughing silly at the people proudly sticking C4rol/Medusa on defense

Euler: Phoenix is my only championed 5*. Getting a 5* leveled over around 350 does make PVP a nightmare, but PVE is still easy enough. If you don't have 5 purple covers on Phoenix yet, it might be worth it to champion her and respec.
I just championed 4* Gamora and then got my 13th Rocket & Groot cover. I hear they work well together.
― Einstein, Bazinga, Sitar (abanana), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 01:33 (six years ago) link
I have her at 5-4-4, I gather 3-5-5 is best so that's an incentive to champ. I don't want to make PVP a nightmare.
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 07:36 (six years ago) link
I know Vulture has been a big deal for a while now but I just got him to 2/5/1 (still lvl 70) right before this current PVP and holy shit
Even under covered and at that level, he is destroying enemy teams for me. I’m running him with 4* Elektra (5/5/4 lvl 275) and OML (4/3/0 lvl 360) and am basically brutalizing every team I meet without even using OML’s black. In particular, Grocket/Gamora is a joke because I can tank with OML until Vulture either wipes out all of Grocket’s free strikes or Elektra gets enough purple to steal a few and make them super nightmarish; meanwhile Vulture is all “I got 6 black, see yeah never coming back down” so his low level/health don’t matter.
I can see this not working against AOE teams but I haven’t faced any yet.

Just now, I had a match against Vulture/Riri/C4rol that went south in a hurry where I lost both Elektra and OML to C4rol’s AOE retaliation. I still won.

I just got a red 5* Gambit cover. Clearly I should add it to my 0/0/3 Gambit but I keep having an overwhelming urge to start a dupe so I don’t break my PVE battery

I just did a calculation: I have 90% of the available 4 star covers right now, missing just 74 of the 767 total. It seems like the rate of new 4 stars has slowed, and I'm getting 4 star covers pretty often, most every day. Lots of those are champ levels but I have few badly undercovered 4 stars now. I'll get my last need Wasp cover as a daily reward tonight, and I have an extra cover of hers also, so I'm champing her now. I might try to 900 the Vulture PVP tonight for my 14th Vulture cover too, so I'll champ him after Wasp.
But maybe I'm moving toward the 5 star transition? Gulp.
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 24 November 2017 17:05 (six years ago) link
Just champed XPool. Also slowly leveling Thing, who is at 5/4/3 and is very quickly becoming the cornerstone to my defensive positioning, especially against Grocket/Gamora/Medusa teams. I've found I can usually blunt a large amount of their damage with Thing's passive, which then allows 3* Gambit to use his purple to mop up Grocket's horribly annoying strikes and keep Medusa's healing in check. (I'd use 5* Gambit but I am still holding onto the red and purple covers I got for him because Gambattery + champed Spider-Gwen is giving me lots of life and I am loathe to let it go.)
