I got 79 roster slots so the 1000 HP cap comes at a perfect time. The vault seems interesting. The auto mode will only work if our AI are as smart as the enemy AI. I am surprised there is no intra-alliance battles. |

I'm all for more slots. :-) Unrelated note; I am falling in love with the Cyclops Uncanny X-Men cover. I only have him at 2/3/1 but he's already dishing out some serious damage (at least for me). Looking forward to getting more covers for him. Black Widow I'm making progress with leveling her up to where she needs to be. Of course, now that I have a plan for her I can't get any of the covers I want... where before they were coming out of the wood work. lol |

It can take a while to get all the covers to build a specific 2*, yeah. I recently got enough of a buffer of HP to try building up an Ares. I recently got him up to 10 covers thanks to two reds from progression rewards in the latest story event and versus tournament, and a green from my season 10 pack. I managed to pick up a Carnage cover in the last event, although it is only his green. It was interesting using him in the repeatable loaner node at the start of the current event. Up against goons, his black power was dropping attack tiles every time one of them put out a countdown tile. So even without any countdowns going off, I'd end up with a fair amount of damage. Good thing I was only using the loaner characters ... I've been doing surprisingly well in the versus events this season. I've come top 100 in three events, winning Captain Marvel, Squirrel Girl and Spider Man covers. In a few I've managed to get up to the 50 HP progression reward at 725 points. I also managed to hit the 10 pack season progression reward with 9 days to spare and without playing the SHIELD Simulator mode at all. Unfortunately the 10 pack yielded only one 3* cover and nine 2* covers

I'm counting myself very lucky. I did the first Deadpool Taco mission got 1k HP. Did the second one that give the taco and... got another 1k HP =D The thing with those covers that irritates me the most is I probably could have had her and Storm where I need them right now, but I was chucking covers because they were "full" Edited by WildMN34, Jun 14 2015, 05:48 PM.

That's particularly lucky. The 1k reward has odds of 0.3%, so getting it twice in a row has odds of 0.0009%, or roughly 1 in 100,000. I managed to pull 250 HP yesterday According to the in-game news, the current story event has community based scaling turned off. Another post says there is meant to be another story event starting today that will give a second go at getting Carnage, due to the crash bugs preventing some people from competing before. I guess that means it will overlap with Prodigal Sun ![]() And like the Hulk event they ran, Prodigal Sun gives out a red Sentry cover in the final section. It was a lot better protected than the Hulk cover though, being the last mission of the sub-event. |

Damn, I should go buy a lottery ticket then. :-) I knew they were infrequent, but putting it like that is really cool. I was happy because I was able to recruit Deadpool and Iron Man Mk 40. I need 150 HP more to recruit my next cover (which I don't have any sitting so I'm all good) I'm getting worked over pretty good in the newest Story Event. Difficulty seems to be jacked up. I'm trying to get to 4k pts in the PvE to get that 10 pack but don't think I'll get there unless something drastic changes.

Well, they disabled the "community scaling" as a test for this event. While that scaling factor is what usually causes the goon-only nodes to scale up to huge levels (mainly because people either wipe out completely or succeed without taking any damage), it also pushed down the level of nodes that people were having trouble with. It probably doesn't help that some of the boosted characters haven't been usable on some of the nodes because you face them as enemies. If you haven't tried using boosts, then that might be worth a look if you're still having trouble. While the most powerful boosts cost HP to purchase more of, the less powerful two colour ones can be purchased with Iso-8. For instance, if I'm running 2* Storm in my team, I'll often use two of the blue/purple stockpile boosts. Her blue "Wind Storm" power costs 11 AP, so with the two boosts I've only got to collect 9 more blue AP to use it. So I can fire off the power after three blue matches rather than four. Given these ones only cost 40 Iso each, you can go nuts with them. |

After getting a Black Widow cover for the daily a few days ago, both Taco Tokens gave me her covers. I thought that was very lucky. I can now max out Magneto (will be my 3rd maxed), with a number of characters only 1 cover away from being able to do so. |

So even though I don't have the right cover set up you recommended yet for Black Widow I can see why you like her. Starting to use her more and more. The steal AP then the stun is an awesome combo. Those PvP matches though are just not fun for me. It seems like I need way higher level covers to even get far with any of them. Ah well, keep ticking away. |

I've now got five 3* characters at 13 covers: Black Widow, Doctor Doom, Mystique, Rocket+Groot, and Wolverine. Since I stopped levelling up my characters, I've built up a fair bit of Iso, so it looks like I'd have enough to bring those five from 94 to 166. I'd prefer to keep my roster al similar powered though, so probably won't do that. I am thinking about levelling them up until their match damage is the same as the 2* characters though. PvP matches are definitely more fun when you've got a broad roster, so you don't have to use the loaner character for whoever is featured. However, with the new weekly boosted character system, I'm seeing a bunch of people running with the two boosted 2* characters in many events. A max level 2* character is boosted to 150, which is often competitive with unboosted 3* teams. It might not get a top 100 finish, but it should be enough to get some extra HP. |

Looks like they're running Avengers vs. Ultron again starting today. Hopefully the score targets aren't quite so high this time. It isn't clear what the prizes will be, but the Ant Man film is coming out in a few weeks, and Hank Pym was the creator of Ultron in the comics, so it might be some incarnation of that character. |

So the cover rewards for this Ultron event look a bit mediocre (Vision and Captain Marvel). I did get an unexpected but welcome prize from one of the tokens: first it showed the gold back for 4* covers, but actually turned out to be 2,900 HP. I guess that is enough to buy a 4* cover, but I think I'll save it for roster slots. |

It looks like the new "Vault" store front is now online for this round of Deadpool's Daily Quest. There are 300 prizes in the vault, with 3 of them being 4* covers. So if you have all five 3* characters for a cycle and manage to get 10 tokens, you should have a 9.7% chance of pulling at least one 4* cover if I've calculated the odds correctly. If you don't have the 3* characters and only have 5 tokens, to try, the odds drop down to 4.9% A few other things to keep in mind: 1. If you can stockpile tokens from a previous week, your chances of getting a 4* character will rise. Opening 20 tokens will give you an 18.8% chance of getting at least one 4* cover. 2. When the vault is full, you've got a 1% chance of pulling a 4* cover from a single token (i.e. 3 out of 300). If you actually get a 4* cover on that pick, the odds of getting a 4* on the next pull will be 0.67% (i.e. 2 out of 299). So if you actually get a lucky pull, it might make more sense to save up your remaining tokens until the vault resets. |

I already got three, 3 star covers and 1500 ISO. A number of the 3 star covers won't be of any use. The 4 stars available for me are Blue for Nick Fury, Yellow and Blue for Thor. Once I get the 4 star covers, I will immediately reset if it is earlier on. I wish they do the same system for Recruit/Heroic tokens. |

I also finish 5th in my group to get all 3 covers in the last event. |
