And now you're also missing Luke Cage ![]() I managed to place in the top 20 for my bracket in the last event, giving two 3 star Wolverine covers, and got a third via a token giving me coverage of all the powers. I got a purple Elektra cover through a token part way through the event which really helped in gaining access to her essential nodes. If I'd managed to complete the final mission of the final sub-event, I might have done even better. Some of those survival missions were brutal. I'm a bit burnt out, so probably won't try for Luke Cage. I wouldn't mind an extra black Original Black Widow cover though, and I could do with some of the progression rewards (Magneto and another Wolverine). |

I also picked up Wolverine in the last event so that is another down. Having most characters makes things much easier since you can play all events and not get locked out. Most likely Luke Cage will be the next essential character in the future event. I throw 2 star covers out like crazy, got them all a long time ago. I am levelling up my 2 star Wolverine, his red power at max level does 3175 damage. |

I'm sure he will be. That seems to be the way to convince people to spend money, but it also feels a bit like running on a treadmill and never getting anywhere. As for getting two star covers, my Original Black Widow currently has 13 covers as 5/4/4, but I want to bump the black and blue up a notch at the expense of purple. The 5th level anti-gravity device power heals the team at 50% of normal if there are count down tiles on the board, which would make it a lot more useful. The 5th level of espionage doubles the bonus damage compared to 4th level too. And finally, lowering the level of recon also lowers the ability cost meaning I'd be able to use it more often (albeit with lower rewards for each use). My 2 star Wolverine is currently at level 76, and with 5 covers for the red power is doing 2527 damage, so I can believe it goes that high. It costs more than e.g. Thor or Human Torch's red abilities, but the green ability rewards you for saving up your red by generating more strike tiles. I ended up converting my Wolverine to 5/5/3, since the yellow healing ability was a bit unreliable: it only fires when you're below 50% health and even then you need the opportunity to make yellow matches. |

I managed to get the final progression reward for the PvE event, so my 3* Wolverine is now 1/1/2. While I hadn't been planning to try particularly hard in the tournament, I'm currently sitting at number 26 in my bracket of 1000. I was only bothering with the essential nodes which required Mystique for the last sub-event, missed most of a day and was still keeping up. I also managed to momentarily reach 3000 points in the PvP which snagged another Rocket & Groot bringing it to 1/2/1. I'm now in the position with these 3* characters that I was previously with my 2* ones: while they've got potential, they are outclassed by the ones from the lower tier due to lack of covers. My highest level 3* is at level 55, while I have 2* characters at level 76. I guess the best strategy now is to upgrade my 2* characters to the point where they're competitive in PvP and see if I can win some covers there. |

I managed to snag another purple Deadpool cover from a token, which upgraded my Beluga whales to Narwhals. I also noticed that Doctor Doom grew a new power overnight. I played a battle against him in the current PvE event this morning, and he almost killed my Thor in a single attack. Every move he adds a trap to a purple tile. The traps themselves don't do anything, but when he casts the new purple power, its damage is multiplied by the number of traps on the board. Part of my problem was misreading what the power did. When I first noticed the extra power notifications each move, I looked it up and saw that it placed traps on purple. I then stupidly tried to avoid matching purple, when what you really want to do is to match as many purple as possible to (a) remove the traps, and (b) stop him from getting enough purple AP to cast the power. |

Looks like I will finish in the top 100 with the story event ending less than an hour for me. |

That latest update really pooched my Xperia (Telstra firmware) so I've had to do a factory reset... PLEASE tell me it backs up somewhere! |

Just install the game, link it to your Facebook account again, and it should give you the option to restore your progress (all characters, Iso and coins you had previously). You can even do this on multiple devices, although it won't let you play on them simultaneously (so you can't get all your kids to farm Iso for you at the same time). I ended up in the top 20 of my bracket for the Simulator PvE giving yellow and black Luke Cage covers, and earned enough coins for an extra roster slot, so I guess I will keep him. The next event has his last power as a progression reward. Overall, this event seemed a bit more laid back: I was playing fewer nodes, but each one was fairly challenging to complete. It also helped having all three essential characters this time. Rather than adding him to my roster immediately I temporarily recruited 1* Iron Man again though to participate in the "Combined Arms" PvP event, which needs a 1*, 2* and 3* characters to compete. I had been sitting at #410 with zero points and no way to get any due to having sold off all my 1* characters. |

A battle in the current "Hulk" event just opened up that will give you a green 3* Hulk cover as a reward. You even get a loaned copy of Hulk for the match, so it is worth taking a look even if you don't play the rest of the event. Now I've just got to decide who to drop from my roster to fit him

I noticed that, would be cool if they did that more often. That has given me 6 covers for him (2 of each). If I get any more covers how his level will jump up (that cover alone let me boost him 10 levels). |

I got a 4* Invisible Woman cover, but I'm not sure if it is worth the roster slot. It seems like she's a bit marginal even with a lot of covers. I've also got Spider-man and Punisher waiting, who are probably both more worthy of the slot. It also looks like they're finally adding some of the more generally recognised Marvel characters to the game: http://marvel.com/news/video_games/23945/piecing_together_marvel_puzzle_quest_squirrel_girl

I got a yellow cover for her as well a few days ago, I think she is easily the worst of the 4 stars. She doesn't do much damage, has low HP. 18 Yellow to make one of your characters invisible, 13 Blue to lock tiles and create protect tile, 9 Green to shatter 3x3 tiles and deal tiny damage. I would easily go with the Punisher instead. I have 1 cover for each of his moves, his retribution move downs an enemy if they are below 20% for the cost of just 8 Red (Judgment only takes 8 Green, Molotov Cocktail only 7 Black). |

He'll probably end up being eclipsed by Squirrel Girl though. If she can beat Thanos, this game's roster doesn't stand a chance. |
