Spiderman isn't as awesome as he once was, but he does have a place on a nice defensive troll team consisting of Spiderman, Falcon (or hood) and Luke Cage.

Finished 621 of 1001 in The Hunt, finished top 400 in the last sub node. I won a Heroic Token opened it and got my 1st 4* Lady Thor! I'm on fire!

DaveNinja

I like the easy PvP groups i've been in lately. i got 2 Groot covers earning only around 400 points in the PvP. Then i got a Squirrel Girl cover by earning less than that.

fumanstan

PvP has been a lot easier for me too, I was able to get top 5 with a little over 500 points and get 3 Squirrel Girl covers.

Deftones

I am going to finish in top 10 of the hunt, with a top 5 finish very likely.

danfindlay

The Best I was ever able to get was 34th. This PvE was a massive turd in my opinion but I don't like fighting Level 100+ Daken and Bullseye for no points. Not to mention that POS Ragarok. If he was a tenth as good on player rosters as the AI plays him he'd be on every whale's roster with Lady Paryts Thor and X-Force. I'm going for a top 100 finish in CoverSquirrel because I want that green Blade but it's nice not having to play hard for anything for a couple days.

Rags (3* but only two powers, so level capped) and the 2* guys are really tough because the computer in PvE takes them above and beyond what you can level them to, and they benefit greatly from the higher levels. That's why they're so frustrating to play against.

They pulled a new one on me, though. Playing through a lower level PvE node, app crashes, boom instant loss and drain on health.

I'm curious, what slice do you guys play in, when you're getting such low scores for high ranks? Do you join late? All of my PvPs have been 1000+ guys at the top, and I'm not grinding against max X-Forces to try to fight my way up there.

Gooter

I haven't tried it in a couple of weeks but I placed in the top 5 (finished 1st once) in 3 straight PvP events, scoring around 500-600 points in each, by joining a shard that had 1-1.5 hours remaining. I would stop when the Xforce/Lady Parts Thor wall would show up almost every match.

I ranked 30th overall in this most recent PvE event by doing the same thing. Probably could have ranked higher but I got bored.

Deftones

Got a yellow Luke cage, yellow 3* captain marvel and red Elektra with my heroic 10 pack. Sweet

danfindlay

Dang I can't believe my luck! Just opened 4 standard tokens from my first run through on Thick as Thieves and I pulled a Purple Blade and a purple Falcon both of which I needed! My 10th cover for Falcon and 5th for Blade.

DaveNinja

I swear i've got yellow Ares on all my last 20 "better than standard" covers.

fujishig

Ok, you guys have tempted me enough. Time to open my 10 pack:

2* Thor Green
2* Hawkeye Blue
2* Captain Marvel Yellow
2* Daken Blue
2* Storm Green
3* Mystique Black (whew)
2* Torch Black
2* Captain Marvel Yellow (again?)
3* Patch Yellow (not needed, but that's a good cover)
2* Daken Purple

So one usable cover (though it's a character that I won't be able to use for a long time)

danfindlay

Wish we could trade. I would literally send you my Luke Cage, Mystique, Squirrel girl, she hulk and all 3 of my iron man mark 40 for that one Patch.

Deftones

my patch is maxed out. i get sad when i get extras of that. as a result of the last pve, my thor 3* is now maxed out. he's a juggernaut in the new pve. fully maxed out and boosted, he's 15k HP.

fujishig

And I would do that trade in a second! Instead it's just more iso for the grind.

I'm tempted to start leveling up my LThor, but I have him badly covered, with 5 in red (by far his worst color), mainly because I've had such a hard time getting yellow. So he's still behind Hood and Classic Mags (maybe even LDaken) in terms of priority.

danfindlay

Well the levels still count so you don't lose anything by leveling him up and switching covers later. Luckily the progression award in the PvE is a yellow 3* Thor so I'd do it if you have the iso.

fujishig

Yeah, that yellow 3* cover will take me to 3 yellow, max covering thor. I just have no idea when I'd get the other two yellow (to replace red). I still think that puts him slightly behind maxing Hood and Mags. I am contemplating leveling up X-Force a bit more, but I'm wary of completely destroying my ability to do PvE if I take him too high.

I joined PvP yesterday with four hours to go, the top 10 were already above 1000 and 700 ended up getting me around 60. So I think by taking a break, you guys got in the easier buckets, because it doesn't seem to matter when I join. I did find it easier to ascend, since it wasn't the last shard like I usually do and there were more targets (a ton of scarecrow X-forces that weren't maxed on green/black).

Deftones

I got 2 Blade covers from the Squirrel Girl PVP. I put a shield up when I got to 22 and eeked out the 2 when I ended up as 25.

I now have 6 Blade covers. I need to get him maxed out to where I can, so I can do well in the PVP. I already have Thor 3* maxed out, but I want to make sure I'm top 50 int he season, so I get another heroic 10 pack. That's the best way to build up characters. Get top 50 for 1 10 pack and then get the progression reward for the other 10 pack.

T-bone22

I had pretty good luck awhile back getting 2 Nick Fury's in a matter of a week from standard tokens. Since then, I've had shit luck. My 10 pack was one 2 star after the other, until a black HT popped at the very end.

fujishig

I pulled a red girl thor from a Heroic, so all is forgiven... for now (still going to take a long long time to get her maxed, since that's only my 5th cover)

My blade after that last pvp is at a non-ideal 5 Black/3 purple/5 green, though I'm excited to try the 5 green out. Guess I'll level him up some.

maxfisher

This current pve is the shittiest I can recall. I've ground a lot last night and today and have just under 13k. Top in my group has over 20k and I'm barely making top 100. I don't know how it's even possible to have that many points.

Deftones

i'm not even bothering with that pve. once i saw the top score after a day, i was like fuuuuuuck that.

danfindlay

My luck continues, snagged a black Gamora from a standard token, my third for her. I now have one of each of her powers. There is little or no chance for me for a StarLord but I will die before I let that Lazy Thor yellow slip from my grasp. I scored 450 or so points in CoverSquirrel which was only good enough for low 200s. Keep getting tough brackets for PvP. 14,879 points in Thick As Thieves right now, good for 122nd.

MBoyd

Ive been playing everyday for a year. Just looked at the future daily rewards and on days 365, 366, 367, I will get each color of Devil Dinosaur. Kinda cool.

fumanstan

Me too, I just hit that mark last week.
