I've been getting very lucky opening tokens, and now have my Rocket & Groot at 2/4/3. I had just been grumbling about how I wished his yellow healing ability would give me a bit more health, and then opened a second yellow cover. I've got enough covers to level him to match my 2* characters , so I'm actually getting some use from him. I also managed to pull a red 4* Lady Thor cover, and extra covers for Gamora and Falcon. I ended up ditching Colossus and Sentry to fit the new Thor and Squirrel Girl due to lack of roster space.

I only had a purple cover for Squirrel Girl at the start of the current event, so she was of limited use during the event outside of using her to access the essential nodes. I got her yellow cover from the progression rewards though, and the the protect tiles she generates are quite helpful.

I now only need Devil Dinosaur which I most likely as the daily reward first. Until they release another new character.

... and now they add a new character as a reward for the next event: Star Lord as a new 4 star character. The power set looks kind of weird letting you manipulate the AP cost of other powers.

I really seemed to be getting lucky with tokens, getting extra covers for Blade, Hulk, Hood, Doom, Falcon and Daredevil. I also got an extra cover for 3* Black Widow from the daily rewards. And with the last event boosting 2* Magneto I finally got a chance to test him out a bit more. The team of 2* Storm, Hawkeye and Magneto is quite formidable: collect enough purple to cast Magneto's Polarity Shift (convert some basic tiles to blue), which creates a cascade to trigger Hawkeye's Speed Shot (scattering 4 purple countdown tiles over the board that deal a fair bit of damage) and gives you blue AP to cast Storm's Wind Storm (damage all enemies and stun one for 4 turns).

And just because I find it amusing, here's a screenshot of Deadpool's whales power:

They are releasing too many new characters too frequently now, I think 1 a month is enough. I think they only released a couple of 2 star characters all of last year, most of them are 3 stars with a few 4 stars.

I managed to snag a purple Star Lord cover in the last event, and had enough coins to buy a roster slot by the end. I also have another Invisible Woman cover waiting to be recruited, but will probably sell her. I've now got 5 slots taken up by 4* characters (Wolverine, Nick Fury, Thor, Elektra and Star Lord), and don't really use any of them. They were fun to play with when I was lower levelled, but for now my 2* characters easily outclass them. They've got potential should I snag some more covers, but it is a bit of a pain given how expensive new roster slots are getting.

At least the rewards for the current event are all upgrades to characters I've already got, so there's no roster pain this time around.

I also managed to get him. You eventually pick up covers from daily rewards for Invisible Woman and Nick Fury. If you have maxed out Devil Dinosaur who has 19k health and maxed out Modern Thor who has 15k health, that would make you very hard to defeat.

Probably a bit too much in the previous event. I was originally just trying to do enough to get the top progression reward (a 3* Thor cover), but when I reached it I was close to the top 50 (the cut off they used for Star Lord's release), so I played a bit more at the ends of the last two events.

They've bumped up the refresh times to 8 hours with the latest event though, which is a lot nicer since it means there is no benefit to completing a particular node more than 3 times a day until you get to the end of the event. It also helps to have characters on your roster that can end the matches fairly quickly. Last event Storm was powered up, and combining her with Magneto let me complete many of the matches quickly. For this event, Original Black Widow is powered up, and her black espionage skill is making short work of Mystique (for black, blue and purple matches, it steals 1 AP from the enemy and does bonus damage). I wasn't having quite as much luck in the last sub-event against high level Juggernaut and Hood though.

I think I'm close to hitting a brick wall with the most recent event. I managed to complete the first two sections of the gauntlet, so I at least got a Punisher cover out of it. The Deadpool cover at the end of the last section is almost definitely out of reach, but I'd be happy if I managed to get the Hood one.

I just started the 3rd one. Sadly this type of event heavily favours people with powered up 4 star characters. I did get my 5th Green cover for 3 star Thor from the Gauntlet token so now have him at 1-3-5 and max level of 117. In the next 2 months I will only pick up 2 Invisible Woman covers from daily resupply which sucks.

I managed to pass simulation 32 (3* Black Widow, Deadpool and Thor) this morning after a number of failures. The enemies were at level 144 and 145, and I used a team of level 90 Modern Hawkeye, level 90 Classic Storm and level 70 Marvel Now Magneto (who was boosted up to 110 for this event). I got lucky this time and managed to keep Thor stunned with Storm's blue attack so that he couldn't let off any of his attacks. His green was doing ~ 4000 damage to the target and 2000 to everyone else.

So I definitely want to keep hold of my 3* Thor, who is currently only 1/1/1. There is another yellow Thor cover as the 3000 point reward in the current versus season, but it's going to take a lot more than that before he gets to a usable state.

As for the daily rewards, I got a yellow Hood cover yesterday. According to this list, I should have a Classic Magneto cover coming in two weeks, and then some 4* Wolverine covers after that (who I've already got two for).

Decided to start the Webslinger event in the last half an hour, got 319 points and finished 79th. Got a Sentry cover for it.
