I can't remember what your roster looks like, but if you have a fully covered 2* Daken, you might consider running him with Falcon. Match green, then match yellow. The strike tiles get powerful pretty quickly. If nothing else, it would change up the pace for you. Falcon is very much a support character and works best with Daken or Psyc Lock, but mostly Daken.

Yea, Falcon's really meant to be paired with a strike tiler. Wolverine's a great match for the 2 star options.

I'd rather be using OBW paired with Thor vs. Falcon.

I decided just to dump the ISO into Hulk, and I spent some HP on getting a 3rd green cover for him, so he's 3/3/5 and level 140 now. I think at least for PVP defense the two of them will be good.

I don't think I have a fully covered 2* Daken, but I might, he definitely isn't levelled at all though. I only have 2 3* Daken covers, hopefully I'll start getting some more of those soon.

Also, yeah I was thinking about that yesterday, OBW + Thor might of been a better combo. I like Falcon when doing PVE just because of Redwing. He's also nice when someone is using Hawkeye for the same reason.

edit: Nope no 2* Daken at all, and I have 3 covers in 3* Daken. So I'm still a ways off of having a useful one.

OBW and Ares are a good defensive team too. The AI seems to use Ares green and yellow powers fairly well. And when on the offensive, don't forget that OBW and Wolv (2*) are really good too. Once you lay a few strike tiles out, OBW starts to double-dip (attack) on blue, purple and black (unless she isn't tanking one of those colors) matches which add up nice and fast.

When I get the ISO, I can level around five 3*'s to level 140 (Black Panter, Lazy Cap, Patch, IM35, Falcon). Right now I stop all of my 3*'s at level 104. In PvP, at about the 575-600 range, I start to hit walls of fully level 3* teams. Should I start to dump ISO into my 3*'s to get them to 140 or wait until I can fully level them?

I don't know about Ares/OBW combo, I usually prefer to fight that combo over Thor/OBW. Although I usually skip any match that has OBW, just not worth the trouble if I can't kill her before she gets a heal or a recon off.

If you're already seeing the 3* walls, then I say you might as well spend the ISO now. Level one at a time though.

Why are they called lazy cap and lazy thor? I've seen those terms used a lot.

Lazy means the developers copied a hero and the exact power set of that hero already in the game to make a different tiered hero. Thor, Captain America, Daken, and Human Torch all have lazy versions (2* and 3*).

Torch is funny since his 'lazy' version is the 2*.

I got 3 usable 3/4* covers from the heroic 10 pack. I finally got my first Fury cover.

I barely squeaked into the top 100 for the Doc Oc PvP and got another Panther cover. Have him at 4/1/4 now. He's great to team up with Hulk since Hulk (who is a few levels higher) shields panther for black matches. I'll have to team them up with OBW to have all the colors covered and have a way to gain black AP faster.

Plus if you have Hulk's Anger to 5 and BP's strike tiles out, you can do serious damage. Even without OBW's double-hits.

Damn, that's a good point pinata. I'm definitely going to try to make BP be my next hero I level up. It just probably won't be until next season, whenever he shows up as a PVP award again.

Of course, the caveat being that you have to have Hulk take a lot of damage for that to matter

For Hulk: don't worry too much about overlap in colors, because 1) his offensive powers suck and 2) it's actually beneficial if you have a higher level hulk to protect the strong colors of other characters. You have 5 in black and that's what matters.

I tried really hard to get that second Panther cover but fell short... it's been a while, but I relearned that there's no way I can make up ground at the end of the tournament (especially when the new character is boosted, leveling the playing field), I was basically treading water. This sentry one should be brutal.

Also, PvE is still ticking me off... but on the bright side, once a team I field get wiped out I stop grinding that stupid mode.

I got 30k points to get enough hp to recruit my two IW4* covers and haven't fought a single battle in the PvE since. Feels so good. Working to get another sentry cover in the PvP. The constant grind on these 9 day events blows hard and I'm done doing that much grinding unless something really special is at stake. Like Lady-Parts Thor.

With my 10 pack I had 3 usable, including a Grey Suit Black Widow, X-Force Wolverine, and a Punisher. The rest 2*.

That's good! 3 useable *** out of 10 is definitely a win.

My plan to rock the Panther Pvp with that team failed when I didnt account for the boost to BP putting him past Hulk's level, haha. I need another Hulk PvP

Sometimes it feels like the game is just daring me to quit it. In the BP PvP, all of my initial matches were against fully leveled 3* teams and I lost 3 straight before deciding just to tank some with a lower team and hope for better placement next round. On the PVE, some of the nodes are just absurd. The Spider-Man node with a grenadier and commander is nuts. Though it's marked as normal, I've had two games where cascades took out my maxed 3* Thor when he was near full health. And the one with Spider-Man, Human Torch and a Pyro to generate green for HT? It's insane. HT will lay down one or two of his green countdowns and I'll be taking ~3000 damage per turn just from those. I don't mind the game being difficult, but that's kind of ridiculous.

That is the worst one yet! It even beats the Dino, 2x Mafia node from a few months ago. That one was also similar to this one where the Mafia guys generated green for the Dino bite which would do 2500-3000 per hit and he would bite every other round.

I've given up on PvE, especially the 6 day events. It is way too much of a grind. I still play them but just enough to hit a few of the tiers; mainly to get the HP. PvP is the main source of my 3* covers.

When you come across a node that's too hard, just ignore it. Grind the nodes you can finish before you go to work or bed or whenever you know you won't play for a while and you'll do fine. I'm #1 in both of my sub events as we come up to the end here.

When you tank PvP, you don't have to wait until the next event. Tank a bunch of matches with your b players, and you'll start getting lower leveled teams.

Can you just "retire" from a match when tanking a match? Or do you have to actually have your characters be knocked out?

I ended up with rank 47 in the BP pvp. I was surprised i didnt fall out of the top 50. Sentry pvp will be annoying since its a pain fighting computer controlled sentry teams who get healed between battles. hopefully i can get in a crappy bracket since i would like to get another deadpool cover

Ugh, yeah I didn't think about this next one. I hate fighting Sentry. Plus so many people have him buffed. I guess I'll just try denying and killing Sentry first... which means no fighting against OBW ever.

I think that counts, since it deducts health and points, doesn't it? I dunno, I usually use my weakest guys, and they go down pretty quickly.

The last sub event in this PVE has a hidden 12 node that gives a Red Sentry cover. The two essential nodes are not required.
