I’m nominating Trial by Combat as the worst (as in, most frustrating) PvP event.

I know RNG is RNG, but repeatedly, whenever I use her green, it tends to obliterate the 1 black and 2 yellow the opposing team doesn’t have any active powers in, leaving the red nuke and green AoE free to go off. But when used against me, it almost always takes out the AP pool I need most. And since Cage was in 75% of the matches, firing off powers prematurely gave a devil’s bargain - incite a powerful protect you may not be able to match or steal, or lose the AP and and not fire the power at all. It’s a perfect deterrent scenario.

I can’t say it’s the hardest PvP. I was still able to win matches, but they dragged on forever with all the draining and stealing. If I’d been trying for 900, I doubt I could’ve made it. With matches that long you’re just begging to get tripled.

Who’s worse than Shulk as a compulsory character? Maybe C&D, with constant popping in and out of animations? Hood, slowing AP accumulation to a crawl?

Hood isn’t too bad, since your Hood cancels theirs as far as AP stealing goes.

I think the worst was probably Capt Marvel since simple 5\* match damage would trigger her AP gain. So you’d have to stun her first or something and that was a giant pain.

Thanos for HPack usage. (Blade less so.) Kahn for heals left and right. Shulk is probably worse, but those aren’t great either.

It’s definitely in the least favorite category along with Thanos, Dr. Strange, Falcon (especially since the rework) Luke Cage and Sentry.

She Hulk makes for very slow matches and I find myself taking her out first which is not my usual MO. Usually the 3\* gets left for last.

Furious Charge is the most infuriating power in the game, IMO. I think it’s because it has such a low AP to fire off, that even though RNG is probably fair, it fires so frequently and isn’t one I prioritize, since it does no damage, that it just feels like one that always gets me and never helps me. I hate it. No power in the game makes me want to throw my phone through a wall more than Furious Charge.

Yeah, it was a super annoying event, and I totally agree that it seemed like the AI would destroy the most crucial AP I needed without fail, yet when I would fire my green, it would rarely destroy AP the AI needed to fire a major power. I did make it to 900, but it was pretty brutal.

I got to 900 without too much trouble, but matches took an age. I had decent boosted 4\*s, though, so I actually enjoyed it more than the last few where I didn’t.

That is not saying much, come to think of it.

That She Hulk was a pain… green always stealing my best covers.  
After some time i found some useful combos (passive based team without need for colors or IM40 + 4\* Cage) but still - huge pain.

Good news - She Hulk’s Furious Charge prevented the opposing Teen Jean from blasting your entire team for 7K+ with her green.

Bad news - She Hulk’s Furious Charge prevented your Teen Jean from blasting their entire team for 7K+ by draining your green.

I agree, I made it to 900 also, but it was the sloggiest of slogs EVER! I ran MrF and C4ge. Plenty of protect tiles to keep my team alive for the long matches, but it took FOR-E-VER

If you’re running Cage, Made Man is just fine.

Actually it’s a pain in the backside, but it seems just fine compared to Trial by Combat.

Second only to Iron Fist’s event, imo. That boosted attack tile is a pain.

Carol is a good suggestion. The better your roster, the more annoying she gets.

Strange’s health is low enough to take him out first and fast.. Thanos’ court death isn’t too bad and can be avoided with a well timed AoE.

I’m actually enjoying made man. My vision is one of my higher level 3\*, I think my first 3\* champ. So he tanks 3-4 colors, depending on my team. Making his blue actually viable, and as my only red user, his red is a pretty decent AoE (almost 8.5k).

Actually, I like Dakens event. Anytime I can use Medusa, it’s a good time.

Pre-fix falcon was the worst!

Now shulk is probably on the short list. Along with vision and quicksilver [edit:] and sentry!

I disagree with what some have said here, I make green denial a priority, I don’t ignore it. Also I fire all my powers as soon as AP is available instead of waiting. Very annoying PvP, I agree
