Im shielded so feel free to bash the crap out of me. with love coolbond ---

0\_0 I dunno what happened but no one hit on me long enough for me to finally climb to 1100. Thanks everyone not hitting on me and thanks to the Ladder for juicy points (I presumed you were gonna shield so hopefully you were shielded for my final retal).

Hit 900 last night and shielded for the rest. I’ll end up actually losing HP on this one with the 24 hour shield, but won’t have too much time to play during parts of the day today. That was good enough for second last night, hit a bunch overnight on retaliations but won a few, so with the shield I went up. Was nice. And damn - congrats Bee for breaking 1300. ---

I’ve gotta get back into this event this afternoon. Been to distracted by the Falcon one. Hoping I can somehow get up to 1100 points, but I kinda doubt it. ![icon_lol.gif](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/x505go/original/2X/d/df075d9b4a1733c0e2bc1aadb0aa6d547e345497.gif) ---

^ Guys, you should be working on your 2_s, I am not sure why, but jumping from 1_s straight to 3\* isn’t very good. Something to do with missing a lot of game mechanics. Of course it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take 3\* rewards if they are within adequate reach. 1000 pts and higher is by no means easily doable even for some more developed rosters. At this rank, you cannot sit without being attacked every few minutes, so you either spend some on shielding or have a roster scary enough to deter attacks/fast enough to do the necessary matches quick. I got lucky because my retals came just a few seconds too late after I grabbed the progression. Pretty sure 2\* rosters can do that too but with heavy shielding. Bee, impressive score. To infinity and beyond! ---

To infinity and beyond! wel to be honest two of my two stars can only go up to level 38 and i only have 25 hero points so i can’t shield myself so its pointless. My storm classic is stuck at level 16 and my thor marvel now will be stuck at level 17 once i get him there. LIke i said, I cant afford to keep buying hero points and isos. ---

To infinity and beyond! I’m not sure if this was directed at me singly or as part of a group, but I wanted to respond. Obviously I have to improve my 2\* Characters since it’ll be a while before I have fully covered 3\* characters, but I guess I’m not sure exactly what you mean. I have to aim for the higher rewards so I can get more HP and Iso-8. It’s not like I’m going to go into this event just aiming for a Green CStorm cover, especially since my CStorm is already 5/5/3. So not trying for the higher tier rewards would just end up in me getting a Cover I’d have to sell for not very much Iso-8. I don’t want to seem rude or anything, I guess I’m just not sure if I’m understanding what you mean. ---

Rich, you’re perfectly alright then if your cStorm is complete. Pamizard on the other hand could get a cover she needs for her classic Storm which is going to be very useful starting from now rather than a 3\* cover. If you only can make it to a single Punisher cover range, and 2 cover range is top 10, a single 2\* cover you actually need might turn out more useful. You’ll get a loaner Punisher in his tourney with the same single cover (colours may vary but it doesn’t matter much for a single cover, it’s simply another AP outlet). ---

Amd worst of all I overslept the end of Florida! So I missed out on those sweet modern hawkeye covers I was gonna get from the tokens (sarcasm) I’ll keep playing for the ISO since I don’t need red or black punisher but I doubt I’ll get there in this tourney. Maybe next one, my punishers pretty strong. Maybe he can finally defeat mstorm in the desert! Wait no, no one can mstorm in desert. NO ONE ---
