Marvel Puzzle Quest GWJ Alliance?

I'm tellin' ya, stockpiling CP to buy covers at 120 a piece is the way to go.

Absolutely.

I have about 300 cp sitting there for when I get an extra cover on something.

I keep 120, but I just used it for the last time this situation happened last week.

Doctor Strange's yellow is the DPD cover... Holy crap does that tear through those nameless ones!

Edit: Seriously. A 3 wave fight with Symbiotes and Nameless ones all with 3-5k health, and my two cover Gambit (hooray 33rd roster slot!) just sat back and let Strange and Kamala casually destroy everyone. It feels like I've finally been handed a screwdriver after spending the past few weeks trying to use a Shopper Loyalty Card to shank the guards and escape this gauntlet. Metaphors, man.

Yep. It's a pretty great power for mob fights early on.

That's why Strange + Thanos is the best DPD team. Countdown triggers strange, who insta-kills (usually) something, which triggers Thanos and destroys the entire wave.

I'm still running 5* Thanos and 5* Black Panther. I can usually kill something in one or two matches and then I'm done. Have to do one more just to move the round along but I've beat it by only making two moves before.

I want to replace 3* Thanos with 5* Thanos, but I don't have the covers yet. Black Panther is garbage for me, but it sounds really strong if you've got covers.

Yeah. I have 5 for both. The attack coming back from a stun makes it a deadly combo. Death and then panther will put about 7k on someone. Just a matter of killing someone first. Panther's black helps with that.

I have Gamora 4* at 5/3/3. I now have THREE FOUR more red covers in my queue. RNG hates me.

I just drew another one as a bonus off a token I got leveling up another character.

I hate when that happens. Can you get another 120 CP before they expire?

I need 240. I have 70 at the moment.

I'll probably lose the one that expires in a couple of days, but I may be able to get 2-3 of the others. I might have to lose some Dino covers, though. Not sure I'll have enough ISO to level up Gamora and him, although I might be able to clean house on my 2*'s and make it.

I had to ditch some Dino covers, but the reward was both PegCap and Gwenpool so I think it's the right call. Gamora is fantastic, particularly if you have 4* R&G as well, so I think you won't regret doing whatever it takes to get her.

I'm up to 34 champion 4*'s now. Burning CP like made trying to draw those 5* covers. At this point even duplicate 4*s are useful because they level up my champs typically.

As far as the teams I run with it usually depends on what is boosted, but unboosted here's my favorites:

Gamora, R&G, Medusa- Can you say 2,200 per normal match and 2600 per tick on medusa per round? Yeah. This is my pve node clearing team for 80% of the nodes.

Carole, Cloak & Dagger, Coulson- Countdown tiles everywhere, buff buff buff carole.

Blade, Carole, Medusa- Slower build, but massive damage after 10 or so rounds

Blade, Gambit, Iceman- Gambit feeding blade reds every round, plus iceman stun/aoe? Hells yes.

IM40, Thoress, GhostRider - IM40 yellow puts thoress into stunlock mode and ghostrider green/black just in case.

Invis Woman, Prof X, Agent Venom- Venom's cheap black does solid damage, generates tiles from prof, invis woman and prof go invisible, game over. This also works with cloak and dagger who in "yellow mode" can self heal and tank, replacing prof x and generating black for venom and yellow for invis woman.

Luke Cage, Danny Rand, Captain Marvel. Just obnoxious due to all the tiles, carol buffing/generating, and Danny/Luke can lay out some serious damage together. Swapping carole for c&d is cool too since c&d can feed the big damage from luke and danny.

I finally got all the 3*s championed. Yes, even Ragnarok and Sentry. Well, at least I had all of the championed until they dropped a 3* Gambit on us.

Feegs, buddy. Can I call you Feegs? We gotta talk.

Your Duck and Dino Crisis has a good solution. You're holding onto too many 1* characters. You only need one, and that one is Juggernaut. Iron Man will suffice for now though, both of them can solo the 1* node in the daily. I suggest that you sell 1* Storm, get your 1K HP, and pick up both the 4* covers waiting in your queue. Then you can start working on replacing Iron Man with Juggernaut (I strongly recommend this, Juggs is faster than IM).

Yeah, I need to champ elektra and gambit 3*. I've been pushing so hard on the 4* ones I just haven't had time.

+1 for Juggy. I had 1* IM for a long time, but made the switch and it's just so much faster. He's my only 1*. Been thinking about finishing the "collection" of 1* just to say I did, but for the HP cost-- nope.

Gambit needs an immediate nerf.

You can absolutely call me Feegs.

I think my holding on to Storm and Iron Man goes back to when if 2* Storm was in the enemy roster, you couldn't play with your 1*, so I wanted 2 valid characters for that event. I think i always thought there was also a 2* Iron Man and never got 'round to upgrading.

I ditched Storm and picked up Howard, and now I'm just waiting for the 1K HP to pick up Devil Dino. I'll hang on to Iron Man until I accumulate 10 Juggy covers; they come up often enough from standard packs that I should just be able to turn 'em all in at once.

Yeah, it shouldn't take long to replace IM with Juggernaut, and you'll be very happy you did.

If I may be so bold, a few other suggestions on character adjustments:

Kamala - You may do better with 3/5/5. She's a good green battery with 5 in purple, and her heal really isn't that great.
Scarlet Witch - 5/3/5 is much stronger than 5/5/3, her green isn't worth losing the amazing battery that is her blue.
Magneto - 3/5/5 will perform better, his blue is his best skill by far and his yellow is his weakest.
Luke Cage - 5/3/5 again, what you lose in his protect tile you more than regain in his godly yellow.
She-Hulk - 3/5/5 her blue is way too situational to have more than 3 in it.
Doctor Strange - 5/3/5 for the same reason as She-Hulk, Eye of Agamotto is too situational to run more than 3. Plus his blue is amazing.

Sigh. F I V E red. Got another as a bonus. Three of these have little hearts beside them.

That is some luck right there. At least you'll be able to get a bunch of levels on her, right?

I just got a sixth red, as bonus off a Riri I drew on a heroic token. I had to sell the first, so only have five left.

The game laughs at me.

I had some pretty good luck with legendary tokens tonight. I was finally at a point to pull some of what I had been hoarding, and also wanted to pull a 5* Daredevil for the current PvE. I had 20 latest legend tokens saved up, and was just a touch below 1400 CP. I drew all the legendaries, and down to about 900 CP, so probably about 43 pulls (earned a couple extra legendaries from the champ levels covers gave me). I didn't have great luck on getting the daredevil till the end of that, but I got my 13th cover Peggy, RHulk, Ghostrider, Drax, and Mr Fantastic. All of those except Ghostrider had been 5/5/2, and they all drew the right color! I stopped pulling when I finally got a cover I needed to champ someone to use (Drax). I got 3 bonus heroes, and 3 5*s (1 daredevil, 2 Doc Ock). Now back to hoarding ISO for a while again.

Very nice luck.

I was emptying my taco vault and got the Bucky cover on draw 3. I spent down to 300 tokens to get resources for devil dino, and am set for yet another vault.

Fully covered Vulture. Here's my IM40 replacement.

Bet you can't guess what I just drew. This game hates me.

What are the odds of seven straight red?

3* Gambit + 4* Blade = infinite blood lust. Very broken.
