[Combine/move this if mentioned elsewhere - I didn’t see it]
I’m wondering if most players switch up the characters they use based on opponents, or stick to their favorite picks for the most part.
Personally, I use Storm for the 1* node, Storm, Mags & Marvel or the 2* nodes, XFWolvie & Jean (2 of the 8 4* I have CHAMPED) for the essential, then Wolvie, Jean, and 3* Thanos for the last. I like using that combo so I can set off one of Jean’s powers and win the rest of the match with Thanos.
Not trying to find “most fun combos” exactly, mostly interested in finding the most efficient toons to use based on my own roster. Thanks.
For the essential, I use Deadpool and Scarlet Witch, as it makes sure I get my 1 deadpool match per day.
I then sub out the essential and DP for OML and Teen Jean, as those 3 are fairly efficient.
1*, I still have Iron Man and Storm. Storm isn’t necessary, but I like her.
2*, I grab three from the top of my 2*, sometimes based on how their powers work together, sometimes based on how I like the characters, occasionally because I like the colour combination of their costumes. At any given point, I generally have half a dozen or so 2* above 120, so it’s pretty easy, regardless.
If the required 3* is a character I like, I’ll build a team around them for that mission, and usually use it again for TBE. If they’re not, and I just want to get it done as quickly as possible, R4G and Strange, or something like that.
2*: I recently re-discovered OBW’s Espionage, when put at 5, steals and does extra damage. Have her tank for blue and black users. Quick matches. I am now planning to keep a L144 OBW rostered to save sooo much time.
Juggernaut and Iron Man
** - Thor, Wolverine and Daken
** - Black Widow, Ares and Human Torch
*** - Toon of the Day, Deadpool and Scarlet Witch. All I want to do here is drop whales. Never gets old.
*** - Dr Strange, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. My goal is to take as little damage as possible.
Ares, OBW, Captain Marvel (gather at least 10 red and 9 black and at least 6 green, preferably more in the first wave and use Ares’s red, Cap’s black, and then Ares’s green to finish off the second round without a move)
Ares, Mags, Captain Marvel (no real strategy, just very strong 2*s)
Essential character, Deadpool, Thanos (DP for his points and you only have to down the lowest health to win the battle)
OML, Str5nge, Thanos (just use those delicious 5* match damages to down and Thanos helps with the rest)
Juggernaut. Nuff said.
** - One of the following teams for each node, depending on the current state of my 2* farm (I rarely use the same team for both nodes):
Thor/Wolverine/OBW
Ares/Daken/Torch
Magneto/Hawkeye/Storm
Thor and Ares can be reliably substituted for each other, which opens up additional combos. Torch is 5/5/3 so he can use black and Thor/Ares can use green.
*** - Essential/Deadpool/rainbow coverage. I like the idea of regularly using SWitch, may try that in the future.
*** - LThor/Blad3/Strang3. My usual wave/goon node team. Doesn’t work so well if the goons are Ultron sentries, but I haven’t wiped once since the switch to the current format regardless, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
two star: My three highest two-stars. Currently that’s Wolverine, Hawkeye, Storm, which is a pretty decent team.
three star essential: Required/Riri/IM40. Chase yellow for the recharge, then Riri Red kills the two in back, and then her green or blue does enough to finish the last one standing.
three star wave: 3Thanos, 4Blade, 3Strange - makes sure everyone is below 4500 HP, so Thanos gets them all when one drops.
DDQ is mostly an autopilot exercise for me lately. I use the teams that are easiest to pick so I can get through it quicker.
1* - Ironman / Juggs / Storm (because I have all 1s rostered I have to take 3, used to just use IM)
2 - Mags / Storm / Hawkeye If they are all champed, if not, sub in OBW, Ares, or whoever is highest
I used to use Deadpool everyday in the Essential to rack up whale points, but I have a couple hundred thousand of them right now, and I never use them. Plus I got tired of scrolling through my roster to find him. The 4*s I use now are some of my highest levels, so they are always on the first page.
1 star: Juggernaut
Both 2 star fights: Wolverine, Ms Marvel, Black Widow
Required 3*: Deadpool + Whoever I feel like using.
Big Enchilada: Medusa, 3* Thanos, 3* Dr Strange
1* Juggernaut
2* Depends on farm but probably Ares, Cap Marvel, OBW or Magneto
3* Required + various, I like to try different teams each day
BE - 3* Thanos + low level 4*
1* IM35. Undefeated
2* (both) - my preferred team is CM-Storm-Thor, aka team AOE. I’ll use Wolvie, Hawk, Ares, Daken, or Torch also depending on who’s where in my farm. I do not factor these nodes into farm decisions, I enjoy scrambling for a team occasionally.
3* req char - 3DP and Switch. Thanos or Bolt replaces req char if a used char is featured. Gets me my DP Points daily.
TBE - 4R&G, G4mora, Thanos. Strikes and Court Death. Never takes more than 3-4 moves. Can take one with a cascade.
