So yeah, if the ai hadn't gotten a last minute cascade that left me just like 10 seconds too late for the match to actually count(and leaving me at 11th by like a dozen points, instead of a 30 point lead), i would have had like 775 points with 14 matches. So yeah, fuck this trial, it's way more work for no fucking reward. Sniping the late bracket was my own fault, but I got fucking nothing of value for that fucking grind. Fuck that trial.

And, since I didn't care about the placement rewards, I thought it was a vast improvement. For me, it completely removed the stress of watching my points fall due to defeats. I ended up with 537 points after getting to (if I remember correctly) about 800. So, by getting a point per victory, I got the 4-star Wolverine which I would not have earned under the old system and it felt like much, much less of a grind.
so for the fun of it I ran my medusa + Carnage + 4* blade team on the first boss node (carnage + doc oc + venom)
won without to much trouble. carnage green and medusa purple has enough board shake to keep oc from being an issue.
since I still had over half health I ran the second node with the same team and won with over half health still.
sandman hits hard with his yellow but I heal up fully before he gets a second yellow attack off lol

What's Riri's best build?
I run mine 3/5/5. That may change when she is changed...
I have a dilemma about which 4 star to champ. My Riri is at 3/4/5 and I have a green token that I can't use unless I champ her. I have enough CP to buy a cover to champ her. However I have Spiderwoman at 2/5/5 for a while that has been bothering me because I've had to throw out so many duplicate covers for the maxed out colors.
Who is more worthy of my 120 CP - Riri or Spiderwoman?

RiRi is still in the vault and you will likely pull more covers for her. you can always bonus Hero SpiderWoman to get the last cover. I don't think either is worth the 120cp...
Speaking of the 4* pool: who is next to leave?
Edit again seems to be Blade.
it depends what you want to use her for but I am thinking 5/5/3 will be a popular build or 5/3/5 if you want to use her to fuel another red user.
yup it's blade but I haven't seen any word on if they are actually removing him to put in vulture or if something else is going on.
edit: never mind just saw "Update: Vulture will be entering packs, and Blade (Modern) will be exiting them."
next event has a new character
hosting friends right now so can't do my usual screen shots of stuff so look for yourself in game
quick look, she looks really solid, like perhaps a top 10 character.
decent red move.
solid middle passive that either generates AP or fires off free moves
and solid AP steal and generation that increase friendly damage quite a bit.
I think I like 5/3/5 for her but all her moves seem solid.

Thanks! It's refreshing to have three different suggestions!
I unexpectedly got a few Agent Venom covers and changed him. < 1million ISO....feels stressful. What's his best build? I have him at 5/3/5 now...
well her blue when from garbage to actually pretty solid with the changes.
before it just mvoed a few tiles mostly pointlessly.
now it moves tiles and turns them into red charge tiles likely triggering a 5 match for 13+ red.
actually looking at it 4 blue should be enough so maybe 4/5/4
I got an Agent Coulson...which gave me enough CP for a classic Legendary...which gave me another Coulson!

Any room in your guilds guys?
Not at the moment, but if you stick around I think one of the two alliances seems to have an opening every month or two.
what he said.
I think Fjord might be nearing the end of his game playing days.
he has been missing a lot of days and barely did anything in the alliance event thus he has either been really busy or nearing the end of the days he cares to play anymore.
How dare you.
anyways don't have guests anymore so I can go more in depth with thoughts.
beyond that, you are seeing 6.5k damage for a level 70 which means at 270 it should be around 13k. which is not bad damage for 9 ap even if it takes two turns to go off.
so her + carol + 5* hawkeye could likely be a lot of fun. lots of count down timers and get red and blue AP from hawkeye from it to keep firing more count down timers.
for the sake of it her + coulson + quake could be fun. sure you have triple yellow and no black but two of the yellows are passives lol.
Since I like girl power teams I think her + reworked Riri (using blue to fuel red) + (likely carol for the black but lets pick someone else) and how about gwenpool just to have fun with random stuff and maybe get some power explosions going.
like I like her for the random power fire move and I do think that red move will likely put her in the top 10-15 but I don't think she is a top tier character.
I am thinking about champing her since I want to play around with her at 4-5 blue covers to see if she works as a red battery as well as I think she will (Which if she does that means that teamed up with hulkbuster 9 blue or 11 black would let you punch something really hard). I can't champ her until I get her blue cover from progression though which will be after I unleash my stash for vulture cover potential as I really want a black cover for him.
so if you are going to use red 5 is a must here as it fortifies it.
beyond that, you are seeing 6.5k damage for a level 70 which means at 270 it should be around 13k. which is not bad damage for 9 ap even if it takes two turns to go off.
So I really don't know how often this power will trigger even at 5 covers. In a normal even match the AI makes 2-3 4+ matches for me and me having even 6 ap in that color is always debatable. now for boss events (hi carnage) this might be a really solid power but in general I figure I will be just getting 3ap for the match, which I can also get at 4 covers, and at 3 covers I still get 2 which isn't great but isn't horrible either.
so this one is trickier. and really how important this one is will depend on how it works. the release article makes it sound like it will work like 2* widow and proc an extra damage that would make strike tiles double count. If so I think 5 covers would be the ideal choice here. if it instead just acts like a strike tile that can't be matched away if you have the AP then her build is likely 5/5/3 as that wouldn't be very exciting.
so her + carol + 5* hawkeye could likely be a lot of fun. lots of count down timers and get red and blue AP from hawkeye from it to keep firing more count down timers.
for the sake of it her + coulson + quake could be fun. sure you have triple yellow and no black but two of the yellows are passives lol.

). I can't champ her until I get her blue cover from progression though which will be after I unleash my stash for vulture cover potential as I really want a black cover for him.The actual numbers were posted:
Looks like a pretty clear 5/5/3 to me. An extra 200 damage a match would add up, sure, but being able to fire off the free move at 1 less match is far more important.
Even if it's like OBW's, you just care that it is an extra hit, not the actual value of it. Next to the strike tiles, the extra 200 wouldn't matter

i can see 5/5/3 being the favorite as the free move could be a lot of fun.
I still could see myself running 5/3/5 for the extra damage faster though but yeah after you get the AP to clear that and strike tiles out the damage difference doesn't matter that much.
that being said her + 5* doc oc + medusa could be a stupid fun win condition with trying to get his green to go off for free. I would take medusa for the passive abilities that won't trigger and the board shake to help match that doc oc tile.
and I can get your point on the free power stuff, but to me having the extra damage go off at 5 vs 7 will likely make a bigger difference in a game on average than a random free power at 6 vs 8 as really how often does an enemy actually make a 4 match in a color you have at least 6 in?
Probably every other match or so? Especially since you can often choose to take it yourself or leave it to bait the AI

Another idea for a Mockingbird team: Teen Jean and Carol. Rainbow team with blue being the only color without an active power. Defensively, match 4s hurt you, match 5s hurt you worse, and going for you strongest color at all gives the other team AP.
vaulting is dead.
Starting with the Mind Gem Season, Cover Stores that have 3-Stars or 4-Stars will now contain all characters from that Star Rating (Excluding Limited Characters like Howard the Duck, Devil Dino, etc).
Packs that have 3-Stars in them will now contain all 3-Star characters, instead of just a select 20. In addition, packs that have 4-Stars in them will now contain the latest 12 4-Stars (now called Latest 4-Stars), as well as all other non-Limited 4-Stars (now called Vintage 4-Stars). The chance to pull a 4-Star is split evenly between Latest and Vintage 4-Stars, which means Latest 4-Stars will initially have 3x better odds than Vintage! Players will now be able to get covers for any 4-Star in Cover Stores, while making the Latest 4-Stars more accessible. 4-Star Characters will continue to rotate into the Latest status as they are released, and will enter the Vintage status when there are at least 12 following 4-Stars that have been released. 5-Stars are unaffected by this change.

Where's the rest of it?
Due to a lack of iso, my hoard is over 100 pulls.
At that point you might as well save up enough that you're statistically likely to cover the full set of latest legends, which I think was like 2-300 pulls
i've only been hoarding for like 8 days lolWhere's the rest of it?
Due to a lack of iso, my hoard is over 100 pulls.
given I got the cover I needed for red hulk and don't have a ton of iso I might just hoard for a while now so I have iso to champ some people as I get them.
Seems they stealth nerfed bonus Heroes. No way you pull 30 and don't get a bonus. I pulled 20 and didn't get one either.
I'm bitching after getting 5 5 star in a row. but fuck getting old characters....
Bonus heroes are like, whatever. It's 1:20, so it's entirely in the bell curve. It's the 5* rate I'm fucking livid about. At 1:7 odds, the chance of 1 (or 0) sucesses is freaking 6%. I blame your other end of the bell curve for sucking all the luck out of the alliance

No bonus heroes for me but I did finally pull one Doc Ock and one 5* Spidey today. So I feel lucky.
yeah I did that as well
and no bonus either.
I do have to think about my plan going forward though. I do hate selling wasted covers.... so maybe I will just focus on champing those I can champ that aren't named devil dino.

I pulled about 25 classics. Got four 5 stars. Only 3 duplicates that I might have to sell.
I hate all y'all
Whoa. Got 20 CP so I spent it on a classic token which gave me a Coulson and a bonus Rocket. Now that's fully covered.
The coulsons Champion reward was a legendary token which netted me a Vulture!
Time to change my bonus hero from Rocket since I don't have the ISO to champ him now and I'm trying to Champion Riri - I'm sitting on 4 covers for her.

i sold my riri cover as even though I will get the last cover needed to be able to champ her with progression in the event... I figure leveling up carnage or red hulk might be better.
i really want my last carnage cover to champ him. he is so good now with the right partners @_@
edit: HA HA HA HA
I don't do much PVP but so far my team is 5 for 5 on defense.
I don't think people realize exactly how deadly medusa + carnage + 4* blade is and how since all it needs to do to work is make matches the AI can't even screw it up lol.
It's a crazy team for sure. You're focused on downing Blade to stop the damage and all the time Medusa is healing the team.
