I have a 3/5/4 Howard at level 160, a blue cover from a token, and hopefully a green cover from reaching 1000, so I have a shot at championing him. All I need is another 315131 ISO in the next 13 days.

I’ve got about 60k saved, but no maxed 2* champions to sell except OBW, her replacement isn’t yet ready and would cost me ISO anyway.

But it’s Howard, what’s the point, I hear many of the voices in my head saying. Because I can, and I want to knock the b*****d off.

:edit: self-censorship, the profanity filter didn’t replace bastard with tinykitty in the Edmund Hillary quote, and I don’t want to invoke any one’s wroth/wrath.

300K ISO in two weeks is doable if you play a lot. Good luck!
Personally I am a Little disappointed they didn’t follow Peggy’s example and gave us two Howard covers in the progression, but them’s the breaks sometimes. That green will be appreciated by my 2/2/4 Howard.
By the way, isn’t icon_warmachine.png
also boosted?

<Teal’c>Indeed</Teal’c> Thank you.

Oh good, we’re back to OML for everyone.

The powered-up list of characters is so bad… Miles is OK but not too many people champed him, Carnage eats health packs.

Not much choice icon_e_sad.gif

Worrying about having enough ISO to champion Howard is looking like a moot point. After getting hammered down to about 600 yesterday, I’m back up to 837, #11, and shielded. As usual, it’s lying about the point value of targets, 38 ends up being 25, 60 is actually 40 or so. My “leave me alone” team of decent Howard, championed Carnage and Ant-Man are rubbish for climbing, so I’m using IM40 and 3* Cap, which gets me wins against decent opposition, especially with a head start of 3 yellow. But they are also an easy target, and so I’m lucky to get 2 wins before being notified of a loss.

With just over 6 hours to go, I could try 2 shield hops, but targets for decent points that don’t include Old Man Ludicrous are few and far between.

One Quality of Life improvement they could make is honouring the points shown when selecting a target. I’d happily “lose” points when it goes up in exchange for not gaining fewer points in the times it goes down. I think I’ve phrased that correctly. Off to the forum less travelled to make a suggestion…
