still love that they gave America Chavez those little star animations for regular match damage. so goofy

Okoye is finally in latest so I decided to use my 12 pulls to see if I could get one of her covers.

I ended up getting:

Okoye: 1/1/1
JJ: 1 red
Nu-Cap: 1 purple, 2 Yellow

I also got a legendary token and enough CP for another pull, which gave me another black Okoye.

I had zero bonus hero hits.

I’m still boggling.

I think I’ve basically blown my allotment of 5* draws for the rest of the year.

Good gravy this game is still going!

Nice draws!

5* life is going well. I can get 575 regularly still in pvp, and pve cl9 is much easier

Amazing luck DJP. I got two Gambit covers in one day a month ago, getting him to 5/2/2, then the game decided I'd had enough 5*s. I've had 10 mostly useless 5* covers since then.

I started playing this again :( God, there are so many 4*'s I don't have. I'm never going to have a playable 4* at this rate.

Patience and bonus heroes are your friend here.

a lot of patience... i'm starting to get bored again myself

The hyperbolic wailing here is some of the funniest stuff I’ve read in a long time.

Oh btw it has been raining Okoye covers for me, I currently have her at 4/1/3 and plan to 375 her after I rechamp 3* Hulk

Are the Growth Industry nodes set to your roster lvl? They're mad hard for me

They are kind of ridiculous.

lol I thought it was just me

Okoye is ridiculously good, you guys.

I was stockpiling ISO to champ her and got impatient, so I maxed out her level (5/2/5 lvl 435) and her black adds an extra 1168 for each team-up AP you have.

I’m basically running through goon nodes with 2* Storm/2* Magneto, stockpiling team-up AP since Okoye tanks almost everything, then pulling AOEs that hit for 15-25K per target. It’s even worse with any 5* but ESPECIALLY pre-nerf Gambit

So, I am reasonably certain that pre-nerf Gambit's red was not affect by Okoye.

Post-nerf Gambit's red is ABSOLUTELY affected by Okoye. Plus, he makes 3 charged tiles instead of 2 so you can match one if you really need some AP or leave them on the board and watch it stockpile charged tiles.

My current strategy is to let 5Thor get hit until half health, then match team-ups and black so Okoye turns Gambit's red and purple and 5Thor's green into instant death, periodically true healing with Okoye's yellow. I can obliterate practically any PVE node at this point with this strategy.

I am happy with how they nerfed/changed Gambit. His better red means that Black Bolt is no longer needed for charged tiles.

I was enjoying Gambit as a speed-up for AC and I guess he still does that, just not as well.

I leveled my 5* Strange 5-2-5 to 360 and he’s now useful in PVE (esp buffed). With 5* Ghost Rider it’s rainbow. Add AC buffed or not and cruise...

The forum tantrums over the Gambit nerf has been hilarious to read.

less whiny than with the OML nerf iirc

I have my 5* gambit parked at 351, 3-2-5, so I don't care. My 5* Thor is still at 2-5-5 and my JJ at 3-3-5 : they're the two I'm waiting on to go for the full 5* transition.

With just one 5* champ PVP is still fine: I hit 900 in the 4* Cap Marvel one & was over 7500 for the season without much difficulty. With the Gambit nerf I think I'll be able to handle genuine 5* mmr with Ghost Rider, Thor, and JJ champed. And Doctor Strange will come along soon too. My Phoenix has been at 13 covers for a long time but she needs a buff to make her worth the bother I think. My Beardo Cap is also at 11 covers but I'm still not sure how good he is.

which **** should I drop for space:

War Machine
Valkyrie
Winter Soldier
TA Hulk
ME Hulk
Nico Minoru
Mockingbird
Gamora
Iron Fist
Blade
Captain Marvel
Black Widow

i have one card for each of them.

The character rankings I've been looking at are sort of useless but I'm leaning toward dropping War Machine. I have some other ****s that are supposedly worse but they're way more leveled up (Thing, Electra, Carnage...). Already dropped all the */**/***s I'm willing to part with.

TA Hulk or War Machine. i have ta hulk at level 233 and i only use him when he's required.
Definitely keep blade and captain marvel, they are great.
Black Widow and Valkyrie will drop 5*s at level 280 if you're in it for the long term.
I recently championed the thing -- my 38th championed 4*. What am I doing.

So only some of the 4's drop 5's at 280?

yes. it looks like they're going for a single 4* for each 5* character. the rest drop legendary tokens.

damn, that makes me wish i hadn't gotten rid of a couple guys

Winter Soldier is terrible, I’d lose him first.

Winter Soldier would be my vote, although as a boosted champ he can be fun if you get the right board.

I drew the last 5Thor cover I needed and went ahead and champed him. He is indeed crazy good. Running two champed 5 stars means that in PVP I basically just see other two champed 5 star teams, but I can beat them without much difficulty. So to anyone still on the fence about champing 5 stars, I'd say do it, at least if you have good ones.

I have 5* Doctor Strange at 5-2-5 so I'm taking him to his max, 435. He makes PVE (level 9) even sillier. I'm now beating the 5* required node 5 times just for laffs.

I just drew my 13th cover for Beardo Cap so I can champ him after I finish with Strange. Then I have Phoenix at 13 covers too, so why not. I need one more cover for Jessica Jones, then I can champ her. The 5* transition is on!

Oh, and I sold my 5* Gambit. He's garbage now, I realized.

Okoye saves almost everyone from being garbage IMO

KITTY PRYDE

The wait for Maggott continues...

Stacy X

Oh god I would probably delete my account if they added Stacy X.

I am psyched for Kitty Pryde, because the only time in my life I really read comics was during the original Shadowcat years into Excalibur. Lots of the characters in this game are otherwise unknown to me.

I've almost finished re-champing all my 3 stars. I only have three 4 stars with less than thirteen covers now. I veer closer toward pure 5* land (have 3 champed so far plus Doc Strange at level 435).

I did wonder what I was doing with my life a few times when playing this last day of the 7 day Hulk PVE, but then I got 66 command points and I felt ok enough again.

what did you do with 66 command points, just roll for legendaries?

yeah I just drew classics, got 4 stars only but that's fine, champ levels are good too

i'm buying classics every so often but trying to build up to 250CP in case a worthwhile 5* shows up in the store

did something happen to the d3 forum?

xp

yeah I was doing that for a while, to get 5Thor champed, and then when I sold my 5Gambit I drew a 5Thor, so I just drew latests with the mini-hoard. That's how I got BeardoCap champed (who is good btw, his red bomb means you only need to take out the first two, and running 5Thor you'll have a ton of red all the time).

I like that Okoye is a queen of the meta right now because she's so simple to beat on defense. I know she's a monster on offense but for me she's just a target. 5Thor is more to be avoided although if you have big bombs you just get him to 50% and bomb away, and he's simple that way too.

huh yeah it looks like the forums are down. they were up earlier today though.

i pulled a 4* wolverine from "Latest Legends" the other day. :(

at least he drops OML now (though RIP OML obv)

too bad i sold him before i knew that

OML is one of the few 5s I have and he isn't unusable at 0/1/1. I could definitely use a yellow though.

you have one yellow so at least you have some healing already.

my OML is like 5-2-3? but I don't ever use him. he was showing up a lot in pvp when I only had one 5* champ. now that I have three 5* champs it's most 5Thor + Okoye all the time, which is fine, it's an easy team, easier than the old standby of 5Thanos + 5Black Panther, for instance.

I'd kill for a 5/2/3 OML, but then again my best 5* is a 2/2/0

i don't have yellow, i guess i wrote the numbers wrong

I have 4 5* champs: Thanos (451), Thor (452), Gambit (451), and Okoye (461, woot). I’ve started using Thanos and Okoye in PVE, which lets me clear almost any PVE node in 3 turns max on SLC9.

I keep forgetting that the PvP reward system is more forgiving now, with total Wins awarding prizes. It's still too brutal for me with the matching, but maybe this month I'll actually try. Been finding the game fun again.
