i tend to hammer on him first b/c i hate his strike tile skill, but maybe that's a bad idea
I'm underpowered and focusing mainly on the PvE missions, but hitting him in the early rounds is kind of inefficient because of his healing. If I leave him alone (or at least until I have enough AP saved to finish him in one turn), I can avoid all the counterattack/healing nonsense.

if you see an opportunity to starve him out via killing yellows, he basically kills himself pretty quickly too. used that against a stronger daken recently (sacrificing my own daken in the process, somewhat) and it was pretty easy. won't always work though, especially if you get lots of isolated yellows around the bottom of the board
only a strategy ot use if the board is already close to good for it

having a bullseye with no purple powers is very aggravating
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:38 (ten years ago) link
I'm enjoying having Bullseye (with purple power) in the Dark Avengers tourney; just pop a few purples & the enemy does 1 damage against me. ANNOYING AS HELL but I win

wait, so are the rewards linked to specific goals, or do you just replay that level a few times until you get one reward each time?

the latter. you're going to get A LOT of 20iso wins though.

is the reason i'm getting nowhere in savage land that i need a well leveled mod hawk?
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 21:53 (ten years ago) link
IMO yes
my preferred team when possible is Thor + modHawk + Daken; if I can't use Daken, I'll sub in another buffed event character (either classic Spiderman or grey Black Widow)
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 21:55 (ten years ago) link
nah you don't really need him. his boosted dmg is good but I usually end up using Thor for the tough missions
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:57 (ten years ago) link
that said, you probably have his abilities maxed out so why not
I've also been surprisingly successful with Thor + modHawk/Daken + baghead Spidey
― SHAUN (DJP), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:02 (ten years ago) link
i've been riding with thor/daken/juggernaut but it occurs to me that dooms black ability + daken's buff + thor's offense might equal profit
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:08 (ten years ago) link
thor + modhawk is all you really need. the third really doesn't get to do anything. i use an iron40 or something just to soak up some damage.
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:10 (ten years ago) link
hm. don't really have the iso to level modhawk past 20 and he's not that great at that low level
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:11 (ten years ago) link
and doom WOULD be great if his black attack didn't take 12 ap. i generally win before he's half full.
pretty sure that doom's black won't stack with daken's tile. otherwise daken + modern storm would be disgusting.
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:22 (ten years ago) link
i think maybe the daken strike tiles stack once per all the fists hitting?
― lollercoaster of rove (s.clover), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:45 (ten years ago) link
i'll attempt to test this at some point... that would be not bad but i imagine it wouldn't be as otherworldly as one might hope (or rather, it'd be dwarfed by all of the insane-o damage you're already doing)
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:54 (ten years ago) link
neat, they do stack. not super helpful tho because A) if you're using daken the way i use him at least, nearly all of your red tiles are already non-basic from pheromone; secondly, with only two of doom's tiles (right now anyway, i assume he makes more as you level his skill) they disappear right quick. daken's come so quick and so often that there are always a couple on the board i find.
makes modern storm/wolverine with max hailstorm and max green on wolverine seem incredibly interesting tho :O
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Monday, 9 December 2013 23:10 (ten years ago) link
doom's black ability alters red tiles, not black ones, weirdly enough
― Nhex, Monday, 9 December 2013 23:31 (ten years ago) link
prob so as to not clash with daken i guess
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 December 2013 23:36 (ten years ago) link
guess I'd better start working on Daken (though fuck that animation forever)
― Euler, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:35 (ten years ago) link
I have a modern storm with max hailstorm & I'm poised in the Hunt to have 4 green on Wolvie; stoked about that combo too
my main team now is Thor l58 (4-4-5), model 40 l57 (4-1-2), & astonishing Wolvie l49 (2-4-4)
can't stress enough how Wolvie's heal is the business
― Euler, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:39 (ten years ago) link
Is it just me, or do different characters have different amounts of time to resurrect? Maybe it's based on * level, definitely not on character level, but it seems like lower rarity characters recover faster. I'm talking about after death - once they reach the "HP heal" phase it just goes by HP total. Unless I'm imagining things.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 05:50 (ten years ago) link
no you're right. i'm finding it's much smarter to use your first aid to heal the high level guys than to wait. first aid takes a half hour. thor takes six.
― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 06:23 (ten years ago) link
by first aid, do you mean health packs? trying to see if there's some other way to heal. I have like 40 health packs right now (I know, I know, I guess I don't play enough?)
― Euler, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 14:18 (ten years ago) link
It's too bad that the timeline is set during the Dark Avengers story, otherwise I'd write the developers and ask them if they'd consider a mission branch involving Pizza Dog

I don't think so? I see that as a plus though as I can test a grouping on one device and see if I like it or not without screwing up my bracket position on the other

Might have mentioned this but this is a huge reason I roll out Daken and Wolvie so often -- even now at level 50ish if they're 50% hurt they're still only an hour to heal. (plus i can heal them in easy venom prologue matches by just hitting for low damage and healing).
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 16:20 (ten years ago) link
they SORTA did retina graphics for the pad... just not the playing area strangely enough.
