Oh yeah, popped open a stash of LTs and CP, Got about 7 5* covers out of it, including 2 Hawkeye and 3 Doc Ocs. Pretty light on C&D, Grocket and Gamora, though.
Ah I should have voted for God Doom. Good idea.
well logically when the 4* spiderman releases there will be a spiderman at every tier and wolverine has one at the 2-5 thus there isn't any room for a variant

There's always room for Spider-ham!well logically when the 4* spiderman releases there will be a spiderman at every tier and wolverine has one at the 2-5 thus there isn't any room for a variant
Yeah I forgot Doom. I voted Nova, for maybe a Richard Rider one
A yellow Venom for me (currently power leveling him so I don't waste covers any longer: have him at 243)
sigh. Looks like the new Spidey is going to be a 5* according to datamining:

sad to hear, but I also know where my favorite 5* is going.
unless he is the worst 5* ever the details there alone should be enough to complete a miles/gwen/peter team. (something I have been trying to finish for a while lol)
a passive to make web tiles is really all that team needed to get it rolling faster and constantly heal lol.
vulture doesn't sound great but damage will matter quite a bit on that.
mocking bird will depend on numbers as well, but seems like she will play well with carol to quickly get the threshold ap.
don't know how I feel about another cloak and dagger already.
in other news.
those who need medusa covers are going to need to go in on the next PVE. it's a 7 day event so we get 2 covers.
4-Star: Medusa - Purple, Yellow
I will likely be doing daily pulls on the vault to to try to get another cover for her as the purple yellow will make mine 3/4/4 so if I can get another cover from the vault it would get me close to being able to champ her. i think the event has a vault at least. if not the 200hp per pull daily isn't worth the pull.
I'm thinking 7 is going to be the magic number for both moves at 5 covers.
but yeah the numbers are going to matter quite a bit for her.
given I believe MMR is still mostly based off your top 3 character levels in an event averaged. most likely.
i mean if your top 3 in an event were typically a boosted 400 4* and then two level 300 your average level would be 333.
replace one of those 300 with a 450 then your average level would be 383. so I mean it would really come down to if you can deal with enemies that are 15% higher level in general.
that being said no doubt the PVE stuff will switch perm to SCL eventually so it mostly would be pvp you would have to worry about, but I have no clue on that because pvp is garbage so I rarely play it lol.

Read it a little further, and in that datamined Cloak and Dagger, I don't see a way to switch between the two, which is odd.
he is going to be stupid good with miles and gwen. Miles makes purple red and blue and neither miles or gwen make use of blue so spidey can use it to stun the other team and make web tiles.
neither uses green either so now spidey can use green to constantly do good damage
and the red will depend on the damage numbers but if it is decent it will make the call to run gwen with 5 purple instead of 5 red easier to have even more stun ability.
it will give you a team that constantly heals thanks to web tiles
constantly gains red blue and purple thanks to web titles.
and can constantly stun with red (miles) blue (peter) and purple (gwen)
there is a good chance that this will be a top tier team, if not the team to use in a lot of areas as it should keep you from needing health packs and should be fast.

His green reminds me of Gwenpool's green, which is probably my favorite AOE in the entire game because it can turn into a nuke if there's only one person left on the other team.
so even without her being fully covered...
3* blade + medusa + carol is pretty crazy in this event .
you match black best you can, (ideally hitting medusa's tile once) and then launch blade's black.
ideally you have gotten some red strikes from blade, some attack from medusa and blade's move just constantly upgrades them via carol.
medusa's AP gain doesn't do much but everything dies quickly so w/e.

Wow that is insane. At first I thought you were talking about 4* Blade and I couldn't figure this out. Holy moly this is genius.

The event before this, I used Human Torch (who was boosted) and 4 star Blade to the same effect.
Which reminds me, once I get them covered, I'm going to try out 4* R&G, Carol, and Falcap. Avoids the black conflict on 3* Blade's countdown, while collecting the blue boosts what's already out there and gets you to R&G's perpetual countdown, which also creates special tiles.
Carol + R&G + 3 star iron man is the team I eventually want to run.
R&G start with a bunch of strike tiles.
you fire of iron man's recharge which when it goes off boosts 3 of the strikes 3 times for a total of about 3600 increased damage from that.
and then fire both his green and blue. blue to build things up every turn and green to double the matches you are making.
alternatively replacing 3 star iron man with medusa could be fun as she can make blue and green ap if the enemy makes tiles.
edit: hmmm my 2/4/3 did the clash with ease without a boost.

Champed Medusa, so it was a breeze, to the point where I'm wondering if lowering Torch to 222 was really necessary here.
Also, another reason I want to try FalCap is because in addition to blue buffing tiles, it also lowers countdowns, so I think it might also cause R&G countdown to go off more as well (with the side effect of possibly less strike tiles from Carol's countdown if that's out).

Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six boss event details are out:
Basically a redone boss rush with the addition of wiping the AP after each round. Kinda weird that neither of the 4* Spider characters are boosted even though every version of Peter is. Also, Carol covers as alliance progression is nice.
Missions
2 Boss Missions
3 Supporting Character missions per Boss mission
Completing a Boss mission locks the mission
Completing a Supporting Character mission unlocks the Boss mission
Boss Mission Structure
Each Boss mission will consist of 3 of the 6 Sinister Six Bosses
Enemy combinations change each round
Enemy combinations are displayed in the pre-event description
The enemy AP is depleted after defeating them and moving onto the next Boss
Boosted list:
Sinister Six Bosses
Carnage (Sinister Six)
- Carnage is unpredictable with swapping tiles and performing random attacks
- Carnage makes tile swaps at the start of his turn if he has Black AP
Doctor Octopus (Sinister Six)
- Doctor Octopus Places a Nuclear Reactor tile at the start of the battle that will end the game if it activates
- Destroy Doctor Octopus tentacles to reveal his weakness
Green Goblin (Sinister Six)
- Summons henchmen to his side.
- Creates and fortifies Countdown tiles that do random effects
Sandman (Sinister Six)
- Reduces incoming damage while taking extra damage from Yellow Match-5s
- Generates Yellow tiles that helps fuel a devastating attack
Venom (Sinister Six)
- Creates Invisibility tiles until he is ready to attack
- Creates Web tiles after attacking
- Can devour an enemy if there are enough Web tiles on the board
Vulture (Sinister Six)
- Goes airborne while waiting to strike his enemies
- Deals damage and destroys tiles

I finally Championed (not fully, currently at +2) my first three star--Blade!
He's slightly less impressive now that I can't use 2★ OBW with him, but ho-lee sheeeit, at 3/5/5...when he starts going, you just chew through PvE nodes. Also, his KYEC face is awesome!
I'm not quite sure who to build up with him. I don't have Falcon, which seems to be a popular choice, nor do I have Laken. I've been tossing around the idea of starting a 2★ Daken but.... :/ In the current event, I've been pairing him with IF and 2★ Cap. Wolverine + Dr. Strange has been pretty good as well.
Otherwise, looking at Mags, She-Hulk, or Iron Fist as my next three star. I guess I could do IM40 as well since people are so keen on him...
Had the misfortune (?) of drawing 4★ Xavier and Agent Venom though I'm nowhere near 4★ land. Still missing Quicksilver and Cyclops out of the top half of highly rated 3★s. Also going to hit rank 27 soon, so that with the DDQ, should help accelerate my 3★ transition.

Fist or IM40. I like Mags, but even I'll say you can place him a little further down in your priorities.
And pulling 4* covers now is fine as long as you don't go crazy leveling them.
Thank you for the advice! ^^
I will have to see how things are but that doesn't sound to bad.
the enemies not keeping AP will really help not be stupid with things.
wonder if you keep AP or not.
also I will have to decide if I want to champ hulkbuster or not since he is boosted.
playing around with medusa in this event I am very sad to learn that her countdown timer is treated like an attack tile and not it's own source of damage.
though I am not 100% sure if strike tiles apply to it independently of the attack tiles. I do know though that with 10k in strike tiles on the board only one enemy is dying to that and attack tiles a turn instead of two like I would expect.

Had 50 CP, did one classic and one latest, got a 5-star Hulk (4/2/0) and 5-star Doc Ock (1/1/1).
That's some luck.
That's some luck.
yeah you spent 50 CP, got two rare draws, and they are more useless than any more common draw
I got another danny.
on the flip side got my medusa covers from progression.
my 3/4/4 medusa and 4/4/4 carnage are stupid good together. I am slightly tempted to buy the heroes for hire for medusa but knowing my luck that means the next medusa cover I get would be purple.
either way I added both medusa and carnage to my favorite characters as a single cover pull of carnage will let me champ him.
I still need to build up my grocket (though still not sure how well he will play with carnage)
I thought about that, but decided it was better to try to get medusa and grocket right now.
worry about spidey later as my gwen still needs a few covers to be champed to finish the team anyways.

My Miles is fully covered, my Gwen is at 11 (2/5/4), so I'm gonna pull from the Spidey store and take my chances. My real question is whether I'm gonna save my legendary tokens for another couple weeks until Spidey enters the latest Legends (I'll probably have about 5-15 saved up by then). CP after this event will get spend as I always do (on Classic Legendaries).
if you want to waste iso or mordo you can. he might get revised at some point lol.

Got Nick Fury champed, now to attempt to champ Captain Marvel.
Just a reminder-Spidey won't be in Legendary Tokens yet.
I am running quake + carnage + medusa.
carange + medusa = constant damage constant heal constant AP gain.
and quake can make use of the blue and green that medusa makes.
quake can use blue to target colors and carnage can use green for board destroy. it has let me take out the tiles pretty quickly so far.
and my team isn't fully covered (well quake is but is only 200) so yours should do even a touch better.
doing something with black widow would work well too (wininifite is likely a great team for this) as a 4 match can take out doc oc's tile as well.
Same problem. I can't tell what color it is.
Shit I didn't think of that. Good idea, thanks.
yeah...
the reactor doesn't have a color until then.
it's like 5* strange's tile and what not.
once you remove all the tentacles it becomes green.
but you can remove it with powers or 4/5 matches before then.
You know what would help with figuring that out...If the developer had the competence to place that info in the tooltip when hovering over it.
