I've also been surprisingly successful with Thor + modHawk/Daken + baghead Spidey

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

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.

hm. don't really have the iso to level modhawk past 20 and he's not that great at that low level

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 think maybe the daken strike tiles stack once per all the fists hitting?

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)

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

doom's black ability alters red tiles, not black ones, weirdly enough

prob so as to not clash with daken i guess

guess I'd better start working on Daken (though fuck that animation forever)

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

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.

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.

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?)

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

there's no way to sync progress between devices, right?

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

I'd like syncing. And some goddamn retina graphics on the iPad.

^^ that too

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).

they SORTA did retina graphics for the pad... just not the playing area strangely enough.

the important part!!

Yeah, I've been spamming this mission when I haven't felt like waiting in the 1.5-2 hour window I have to play this crack game on weeknights.

Got an Iron Man Model 40 and Classic Magneto in Standard Token draws today. I'm a True Believer!

more hawkeye. more thor. goddammit.
daken up to lv. 52

Last night started feeling the consequences of my leveling Storm up too high. Poor Ororo, RIP.

saw this thread blow up, installed game, played game, am very confused

we call that "Stage 1"

there are lots of things happening. i feel like the game is yelling at me. something about the punisher? and then assembling the dark avengers?

Biggest thing holding me back right now is the lack of hero points. There just aren't enough to get all the covers that I need.

adam, just keep playing the early levels until you can beat some more levels, then keep beating those multiple times.

then dig yourself a shallow grave and bury everything you've ever loved in it
then lightning rounds

oh yeah lightning rounds. what on earth was i thinking, leaving my phone away from me for an hour.

buffed Doctor Doom is MEAN; my three attack tiles do 147 per turn EACH

The names they came up with for obviously fake player slots in these tourneys are terrible
freerangeC@ge
WannaBeSkrull
HAIGUYZDOOM

i tank in all lightning rounds now. win one, then play with weak characters and resign right away. can't tell but i think it helps get me weaker opponents in the serious tourneys.

i've never gotten above 200th place in a lightning round - competition's too brutal. any success?

actually, i think the trick is that you play any round - whether you win/lose - with scrub characters, you get matched with other scrub teams and then you can kick their ass when you retaliate. so it's best to start out with your weakest teams and steadily use your stronger ones only if you have to

then again, this doesn't always work either

Grr!! I had time for a handful of games tonight so I tried for some covers and hero points. Guess what i was rewarded with instead.

Otoh, I did stage a 1 vs. 2 bad guy battle in which I came from behind top win with an unleveled Dark Hawk that had no use for AP.

accidentally played this with the sound on.
never again.

I keep getting that Bag Man Spider-Man alternate. I sold it and it came back!

keep him, he's more useful than he seems!

yeah Baghead Spidey kinda rules

Hmm. I got 2 extra red Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men cards) from the Bad is Good tourney. My Wolvie is currently 5/3/2 (G/R/Y). Seems like the Yellow (Healing Factor) ability is the best one to have, Green is maxed out (Feral Claw). Should I listen to my gut and sell off the two Red cards I have and hope I'll draw three Yellows in the future? Or is just foolishness... is the Red ability worth leveling up to 5?

Personally I like having the red at five, I am hoping to go 5/5/3. I feel that the healing works often enough, and if you're not counting on getting every yellow tile for some other reason, you can just avoid breaking them and heal. The cost/effect of the red attack tho (at stage 5 and level 50, i think it's 12 tiles for 1400 damage, plus any damage you gain from your feral claws on the way) is pretty great.

Typically on the forum tho people say it's best to roll 5/3/5, which I get. TBH I probably went 5 red because I got them first. But I don't feel like I've "ruined" the card by any stretch, the minmaxing on individual skills doesn't seem to make a HUGE difference in most matches. HP and damage are really key aside from a few covers (eg. Storm 1, Storm 2, etc).

I tihnk my wolvie is at 4/5/2 at the moment and I am not terribly disappointed with his lack of healing ability.
