Only six champed 4*s here, i'm just a filthy casual i guess

9 as of today just champed hobo fist

I'm on the road to champing Hobo Fist

I could champ Mordo but... I don't wanna

lol me2

I was going to ask what the max damage Deadpool's charged up whale ability can do is, but apparently it's an instant kill every time? It doesn't work on bosses immune to powers, right?

The insta-kill button isn't quite an insta-kill. It actually does a little shy of 100K AOE damage, which is why it wasn't working in BoP to kill everyone. In addition, Elektra can shadow-step around it, and any character who's been knocked into the air by Nova, or thrown there by Colossus isn't effected.

crucial info

Spider Woman would also be able to avoid it if her black countdown is out, Riri and Vulture can go airborne and not hit it and Riri can take herself airborne to avoid it. (I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.)

I was kind of idly wondering how silly it is with Dr Strange and Thanos on the same team and this current event threw that at me! Fortunately the computer wasn't very good at it. I'm trying that combo myself now, and it's pretty funny

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

on THEIR turn, that is

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

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?

yes

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.

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

btw Mockingbird seems kind of cool

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

don't dump champs unless you've maxed them out

^^^ 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

it will. ever understand

never, damn phone keyboard

I actually find it kinda frustrating that the AI wastes those t-5s. And I really like Mockingbird too.

AI will only do match-5s if it's in a straight line. /relurks

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?

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.

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/.

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

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.

once again rolling my eyes

have a character at 3/5/1 and which cover does it give me? the middle one, of course

Maybe I'll try running Elektra/Spider Woman/Invisible Woman and see how much damage I can mitigate in a given match

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.

I champed gwenpool and she's great to play, esp with a list of her cheat codes nearby.

yup, been a Riri/Gwenpool week for me, too

Does Webbed Wonder give a free (colorless?) Howard cover?

Think the update said 3500 ISO instead

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?

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.

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.

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.

i was one-hitting the early nodes - i mean literally finished a bunch of them with one or two moves

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.

me stupid, what is SL 5?

5tarlord (i.e. 5* Starlord)?

ohhhhh

There is a free Howard cover after all, by the way

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)

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 :/
