I've managed to get Cap and Thor's ISOs to drop, but no Iron Man yet. I've also managed Cable and one of Deadpool's, but that's it. I've tried the Hydra Bob fight many many many times and got three of that particular one of Deadpool's, but I can't get Wolverine's.

I have Iron Man's x3, but no Cap and no Thor.

You could do what I do, play nearly exclusively PvE and make the greatest superhero team ever. That's honestly why I play, because I love superheroes

So I have a question for you guys. I'm on iOS and I'm trying to figure out a plan to finish the Valkyrie spec ops. I got 60 CP, 52 Gold, and I need 213 CP to get everyone for the epic boss. I think I should get enough for Beast because I'll need him for Havok eventually, then spend the 25 Gold to skip the boss and save up for the next Spec Ops. Or should is spend all my Gold to get the heroes? Or maybe not get Beast now and save for the next Spec Ops, whatever that one may be. Decisions decisions.

I'd pay the 25 gold to skip the boss and save the CP for just now. You can always buy beast later if you want him, no point spending gold to get CP if you dont need them right this second, command points drop from bosses, gold doesnt. You currently have enough gold to skip this boss AND the next one for havok if you havent got the heros or command points you need by the time the next one rolls round.

I would agree that the cube is annoying as hell though, I play PvP because I want the lockboxes from the current season and because its not too hard to end up in gold and get the 10 free gold. If I'm lucky I get the weapon some seasons. The cube is irritating as it makes the fights last longer. So far I dont think I've lost any on attack that I would have won if they didnt have the cube, but some of my wins have taken forever. As for defense, who the hell knows, some days I have lost 100 points, some days I've gained 50. I'm running rescue/ares with a blaster agent because despite all attempts to rebalance them they are still a really good team and more importantly on defence there arent many terrible moves the AI can inexplicably make with them.

I realized that i only lose pvp matches if my agent gets stunned or killed in the first turn. You'd have thought they would have toned down modern thor, or at least make him so he doesn't get first turn very often. Oh yea, his thunder doesn't kill the entire team in one shot anymore, but his hammer throw can take out anyone.

Okay, I just had a weird thing, an agent with the suit from the last pvp season, his icon was just huge. Like I'd click on Thors hammer (Thor was in the top position) the agent would still be highlighted. I kept attacking the agent and for some reason that suit always does counter attacks even though I don't have any tacts in my team. I have just started resetting when I see that thing.

When you put it like that, makes perfect sense. Thanks.

But.... I looked at CP yields and all kinds of math people did and I have a ton of energy refills. I'm going to run 4.4 all dang day tomorrow since I'm off work. Hell, I did one run and got 9 more CP :toot:

The main thing is that now there are dozens of debuffs that don't have an equivalent healing item, so you're either stuck using the healer characters or tons and tons of Panacea Injections/Gene Inoculations.

edit: if you don't have the Bologna Scroll, at least.

Wait until they release the Covert Ops to find all the Infinity Gems, and get the Infinity Gauntlet with 6 actions.:v:

I bought Punisher because I figured I have enough time before the next Spec-Ops to gather more CPs. He's pretty fun to use. I wonder how well him and Mockingbird would be on defense.

Click on the picture at the top to attack the right target. And the armor gives combat reflexes as a quick action. The armor this season gives the scrapper a follow-up attack as quick action.

I'm running Ares/Rescue with the anti-stun iso on him and the one that makes buff actions a quick turn for her. Rescue will be at level 13 when I get home so I'm going to add the iso that heals her when she buffs just to be an extra pain in the rear end.

This may just me seeing patterns where there is none, but if I take the same team in pvp too many times, I starts to throw teams that can beat the crap out of mine. I was using Thane and Cyk for a while, and suddently I was coming up against teams with strong scrappers and infs, then I switched Cyk for Elektra, and then I was fighting a lot of deadpool teams. Then switched her with Ares, and after playing a bit last night, suddenly, i'm up against double blaster teams.

Not for kindle, but do I really need 3 games of this on the go?

EDIT: Is there any boss drops worth farming? Normally at this time i just farm the spec ops missions for getting the 5 star reward and get any drops, though i never get anything.

If you're asking about the SO, the epic boss drop and SO3 drop are sort of interesting, but nothing is really a must-have this time around. The season 2 chapter 2 items all seem similarly 'interesting but probably not practical' so you're probably best off farming eiso till your eyes bleed if you want to farm something.

Try the one that heals on quick actions or buffs. Someone said earlier that you heal every time you switch classes, which can be always. I'm interested to see if that works.

That's Sympathetic. If OS doesn't get killed inbetween rounds in PVP, she can heal to full just fine. I've had my Agent and Scarlet Witch get killed in the first round and proceeded to beat the entire other team with just OS.


Also thanks Sefer, I'll try out Relentless

I'm not even upset, because it was hilarious, but I just fought a game against ares, cyk and a cube agent. I never got a single hit, because they avoided 100% of my attacks, and everytime the agent or scott attacked, ares would attack, and every time I attacked, scott would give whomever attacked their extra turn. Every. Single. Time. What is funny, Is I still won because my agent lived long enough to get Atom Smasher off and it did 60k damage to all 3.
