thor - 70 - 3/5/5
iron man 35 - 50 - 5/5/3
c. storm - 44 - 3/5/5
m. storm - 43 - 5/4/4
m. hawkeye - 43 - 5/5/2
daken - 43 - 5/5
cap - 41 - 5/5/3
iron man 40 - 41 - 3/2
m. bw - 39 - 5/5
grey bw - 39 - 1/2/3
astonishing wolvie - 38 - 4/2/1
invisible woman - 30 - _/_/1
rag - 28 - 2/1
c. spider - 28 - _/1/2
loki - 25 - _/2
c. magneto - _/2/_
c. hawkeye - 22 - 5/5
doom - 20 - 3/4
mn magneto - 16 - 2/1/1
hood -15 - _/_/1
moonstone - 14 - 1/2/1
bullseye - 13 - 3/1
venom - 11 - 5/5
jug - 10 - 5/5
o. bw - 8 - 1/1
bag-man spidey - 6 - _/1/2
yelena - 5 - 5/5

i can now take my doom all the way to 77 -- not sure if its worth investing in him much tho.
other candidates are grey bw, cap (mainly just use him as a b-team tank), jug, or iron 40.

other than that i guess i'll keep working on daken and wolvie.

if i come out of this next tourney with some spideys maybe he'd step up?

modern hawkeye in hunt is great, yeah. also really just pays off to use him with critical tiles where he hits for huge damage.

once his red and blue are fully leveled they only countdown two and their odds of hitting are almost tolerable.

they do great of course once you clear the main enemy and are just against goons that don't move tiles.

and lol yeah yelena destroyed me the one time i tried to use countdowns with her.

Doom looks to me like a good investment as a third stringer.
i definitely want to level up spidey; that looks like a big time play extender
How does invisible woman play?

well just green ability alone sux + she only has 1020 health at that level. i only use her when forced to by hunt missions.

her yellow looks sorta useless too.

i can imagine she'd be solid against special tiles if i had her ability to lock specified tiles, but as is she's not useful for anything yet.

i got invisible woman with the green ability too. same problem Spider-Man's purple ability used to have - you need the bubble making power to not make that power useless

wanna put in a strong recommendation for levelling up yr juggernaut
that green power takes two matches and can be a lifesaver. he's a good alternate option for storm.

kinda curious about leveling strategies too. I've been focusing on leveling up my intro characters and then beefing up individuals for specific tourneys as necessary but there's a lot of other options... feeling like it's a bad idea to try to broadly level everyone as there's just not enough iso to make that work unless you are gonna pay for it. most of these characters don't really show what they can do until you get them heavily levelled. Obviously with the 2/3/4 star guys that's dependent on covers but some of the early characters seem universally ignored; you never see anyone playing a yelena or a venom in pvp.
just started moonstone in the baddie tournament and she seems utterly pointless at low level but may be a monster when properly leveled...

i look at the level cap. i know that lvl 85 cap will be a monster someday. most of the 1* chars cap out at 40, except for notably Storm and Iron Man 35. so it doesn't feel like worth investing in most of those guys. juggernaut i'm tempting just because of his HP soak. but who knows, maybe Lvl 40 Venom has enough HP to make him worth while too

at least at 2* you can go up to lvl 85 with cards maxed out. i'm maxing out any character 3* and above to the best that I can. only maxed out Thor at the 2* lvl, and almost done w/Classic Storm (I think I'm around 77-ish)

you're 100% right on not broadly pumping everyone, imo, though this is what I did when I started out, so I have a lot of lvl 15-25 characters hangin' around, semi-useful, but i feel like i would've been better off focusing on a few

surprised nobody's started an MPQ wiki yet. With P&D there's like three wikis out there with all stats, i'm sure this is coming soon with stat charts and what not for every character

btw this Dark Avengers tourney pretty much sucks for me, my best available char is a lvl 28 Venom. i'll just focus on The Hunt

It sucks but it's gonna suck for most everyone; I got a me vs lv1 Venom only last night

I am enjoying the BIG tournament but then again I have a 25-30ish moonstone, 50ish daken and 15 ragnarok (puled last night from a standard pull, stooooked -- just wish it wasn't green). good enough t beat people lvl 1 yelenas and bullseyes anyway.

The only Dark Avenger I have on my phone team is a lvl 27 Daken

I'm currently ranked #49 in the Bad Is Good tournament; if no one on the opposing team is over lvl 20, I can solo them and usually end up with full health

This character is ridiculously OP in some ways.

I'm thinking that I should maybe start over because I'm still at a sufficiently low level and am pretty sure I spent some Hero Points on things other than roster slots.

i wouldn't worry about it; they give out those coins with solid regularity. any of the 1 and 2 star guys aren't hard to find in game within the story missions so if you temporarily lose, say, black widow or hawkeye or either storm or juggernaut or yelena or venom, they're easy to get again when you have the space later.

I've spent about 300 hero points on covers, and one of those tries paid off big time (wolvie x force) so

I'm not hoarding characters so I don't care so much about roster spots.

WANT PUNISHER btw

playing bad tourney is a pain with two dakens; each match takes more than twice as long and is rigorously boring. hard to find pvp players who aren't using him.

still lolling that I am managing to hang around the mid 40s of my bad tourney with a solo Daken

I just started playing this and my understanding is pretty weak. The coins in-game are the freemium bit of it but you still earn them occasionally and need them to level up (unless you get another cover), the purple crystals let you power up within a level, and apparently you only get a certain number of roster slots?

The only really confusing bit so far has been where I've played a level a couple times and obviously defeated every enemy, had no losses, and there's still not a checkmark on that location. Is there a list of goals for every level somewhere so that I can "complete" them?

click on the missions, they will usually say something like "1/4 rewards" or something like that with a flashing icon in the lower right corner showing which of the objective rewards you've gotten

also don't use coins to level, use them to buy roster spots

right. and you don't need to get all the rewards for the Prologue missions, just beating it once is enough to unlock the next set of levels. but you'll eventually want to go back and grab those rewards, ya know, because OCD.

DJP, take that Daken all the way!!

props to dan for convincing me daken was worthwhile; ahma level that fucker all the way up next methinks

surprised nobody's started an MPQ wiki yet. With P&D there's like three wikis out there with all stats, i'm sure this is coming soon with stat charts and what not for every character

I am really shocked by how much of a bad-ass modern Hawkeye is in The Hunt

if he has Avoid and Blast Arrow, you can basically use him to destroy all three characters at once

hm. i'm at 5/4/3; maybe i need to level him higher

i have a purple cover but was holding out for the fifth red attack... am i doing it backward?

it's hard to want to use any red attack but thor's when he gets 2k damage from two red matches

Hawkeye is ridiculously boosted in The Hunt, it's pretty awesome
Avoid (Purple) kinda sucks. I lvled it up to 5 without thinking, feel like it's kind of a waste.
Thanks for those links, will check out soon.
Savage Land reset, but you knew this.

im, uh, kinda finishing savage land now.

in normal circumstances, Thor > modern Hawkeye
in The Hunt, a modern Hawkeye with 4 red can hit every opposing character for something like 2700 dmg each in one attack if you successfully protect his countdown tile
right now I'm targeting a 5/5/3 build for him

oh, that red hits ALL enemies? yeah, that changes things.
i guess i'll shift my levelling from daken to mod hawk up to 20 or so and then go back and forth.

Sitting in or near the top 10 in bad is good since the onset, nobody seems to want to mess with my bottom-feeder rag, mid-level moonstone and 51 daken.

i like these actually-restricted missions more than the "buff" missions, means people actually have to try new people -- all i have learned so far is that i need more rag covers to make him useful & i dunno if moonstone will ever be good

Yelena looked completely useless until I fought her with modern Hawkeye and she kept fucking up his countdowns; now I want to level her specifically to neutralize anyone using modern Hawkeye in PVP (baghead Spidey has a similar usage with his counter increaser and I think regular Spidey can also fuck with countdowns?)

they really need to fix environmental effects so they scale.
100 hp for +5 ap is a game changing no-brainer, 50hp bonus for hot dogs is some bullshit.

Moonstone's Gravity Warp ability is pretty good, (make a 4/5 match with special tile swap or get a free critical hit), the others i'm iffy on. Haven't leveled her past 15-ish though.

lol yes Hot Dogs for 50hp

I look at that map is a neutral environment tile - hot dog isn't very useful and it takes forever to get that Narrow Alleyways super special or whatever it's called

oh man I hate the hot dog board so much

OTOH the board with the free critical tiles is my jam

loled irl re: 50hp hot dogs

nominate "50hp bonus for hot dogs is some bullshit." for ILG board description

that change everything to red special is crazy good.

now that there's nobody boosted in the tourney, i'm having to train myself out of making env tile matches as much, since without the boosts they're not as important (for the critical skill especially)

argh, these fucking hunt heroic covers are all characters i do not need. bad karma.

thor and hawkeye, thor and hawkeye thor and hawkeye GIVE ME A GODDAMN SPIDERMAN YOU SPITEFUL TABLET

brazenly entering competitions with daken at 40% health bc "he'll get it back in the fight"

brazenly entering competitions with daken at 40% health bc "he'll get it back in the fight"

lol hate this so much when playing against him, took me forever to figure out to save him for last and then unload with saved-up specials.

"took me forever and people smarter than me pointing delineating the strategy," rather.

i tend to hammer on him first b/c i hate his strike tile skill, but maybe that's a bad idea

also he's the one overleveled guy on many teams so after i take him down its all mopup
