I was crazy lucky and got him maxed soon after his release a long while back. I do not use him a bunch but he is a nice fallback character when I am out of heroes and with him powered up he should be really good. His red is one of my favorite red moves in the game.
good luck getting covers for him.
Yes he was and he's just wishing you good luck in case you want covers to respec him or something. I finally got 2 reds from the last pve to get that to 5, Ive had 5 in green forever, and 1 black in the pun pvp & I'll have my torch the way I want him. Although game has been trolling me, the past week Ive gottten 2 torch green covers from standard packs.
Its fun when these packs come out of retirement because I can catch up on some covers Ive missed, then again the rotation sucks when its covers I have maxed. One night I got 3 gold covers from opening 1 Standard, 1 heroic, 2 deadpool, & 1 Doc Doom pvp tokens which wouldnt be a bad return had it not been for the received covers. A green torch, Black punisher, black Doom, 3 golds I couldnt use. I suppose I need to start looking at who is available per token before I redeem them.
Apparantly squirrel girl is more popular than luke cage? I didnt see much of a problem with gaining a luke cover, but Im on the borderline with squirrel girl. If anything Im going to be top 150 & get 1 cover, then another from the alliance. Its really baffling how players decide what covers they do or do not want. PvP has been a pretty much dead zone because of covers. Pun? Most vets dont want that, I started early just for season points. I have maybe less than 24 hours left. Even after being attacked by some max x-force & 166s Im still in the top 100. I needed some HP so I pushed for the 400 progression reward but still MANY low level enemies giving <20 points.
I do want to say for the new folks, dont listen to Broly, and get a punisher. He's actually very awesome for the 2*-3* transition. If I could put him in a catagory I'd throw him in the 2 1/2* level. He's not great for going against X-force or 3* Thor/Steve but he's the next step after you max your 2* Wolverine. He pairs very well with OBW/Daken/Falcon.
Quite honestly in making the transition from 2*-3* Id have to say Hulk & Punisher should be 2 that a newer player should focus on. I know newer players will want 3* Thor, Steve, Patch and thats fine. However those should be your main focuses when you get deeper into the 3* transition. You'll know when you're ready to make the move into 3* land when your main 2* team is all at level 94. Another indicator is when your 3*s have enough covers you can level them to 100 & they start getting useful. Level 100+ is about the range where your 3* characters can start defeating level 94 2*s. Never bother with 3*s that have 1-2 powers (POWERS NOT COVERS!) that cannot cap out past the 70's. If you can cap out to the 100's with only 2 powers make sure the power youre missing is redundant before you max that 3*.
Case in point I have a daredevil which I have pushed to 100. He only has purple & Red, no blue power. Placing him with a character that uses blue he's still viable because of his purple ability. Plus the reworking of his red makes his red cheap & gives free hits, so its useable. In a team with say Classic Storm and Daken he works because he has a useable red, blue would be used by storm anyways, and his purple can defeat any enemy Special tiles. Daredevil is best case scenario since he's so niche and has undergone a retooling to make him better. Another Example would be if you had she hulk with no green, you could pair her up with X-force since he has no useable reds. Her green is useless compared to X-force's anyways.
Basically its all trial and error but to make the transition into 3* land dont jump the gun and waste roster space for 1-2 covers. They've added more 2*s and some of them are actually pretty good. If 2* Ms marvel had the power of 3* Cap Marvel Id prefer her power set. Torch is a direct clone of himself & is quite useful in both 2 & 3* iterations. Have 5-6 fully powered 2*s and see how you do in PvP, thats a true test of how far youve come. Oh and though it might seem like a great tactic to use featured character with a MN mags and C storm team; that makes you a sitting duck for the higher ups. They love that combo since its so weak on defense. Try a Ares/Thor & OBW combo, its great at offense and defense, very balanced.
.. Then again im up all night cause cant freaking sleep
