So apparently you can go beyond Top .01% and get Top 0%? Haha.. makes 0 sense, but I enjoy knowing I'm there! I think..

Ha ha that's crazy, it's like those hard gamer's that do that...Is it me or did they go cheap on giving away free iso's this time around?

Anyone got advice on who to use in the PVP tournie?

They're handing out the ISO's like crazy this time around, I'm glad though, means I can five-star them easier.

Well, I'm using Emma Frost and Scarlet Witch, but the popular combo of Cap and Scarlet Witch, not to mention Mockingbird is always gonna be a PVP staple.

What where? I've only gotten the free 50 and that's it...How often have they been giving them.

I use Magik and Emma, was using SW but she kept getting killed by Cap.

Sorry, I should've specified, in the daily draw thingy. The gold or CP's hardly ever land for people, most I hear is people getting unstable ISO's including myself.

I could use some good advice as well.
I'm level 104 currently, and not getting past the 1200 rating in PVP (around top 1.6% that is)
I'm using Mocking Bird and Magik, my agent is a tactician. I run quite a lot into PVP battles where the opponent has a significantly higher level and rating than myself, so I loose a lot lately.
Any toughts on how I could make it to the top 0.5%?

Increasing your PVP armory is the best way IMO. I'm currently putting in the 4th right now, so we'll see how I do afterwards.

Hate to say it, but I think Magik is your weak link. She is a character that needs some build up, and in PvP, you just don't have time for that. Couple that with the fact that your opponent needs to run an infiltrator to even consider using her, and obviously that is going to be very random. Her passive damage is pretty neat and seems to kick off a lot, but it's always chip damage.

MB is still a beast, even after getting hit with the nerf bat. I still run her and take out opponents just fine. I'm sort of alternating the other hero between tactician Dr Strange and Emma.

-The only reason Emma is good to me is because the CPU is too dumb to not attack when mental anguish is on. That is always anywhere from 4 to 5+k damage.

-Strange is good in PvP because his healing regains around 1k hp give or take per turn (and over 2k the turn you use it), and his dark void debuff does over 1k per turn on the enemies.

Edit: To add further, I tried running Scarlet Witch for a bit but she was getting killed waaaay too quickly, too frequently. Captain America, Emma, and MB always gun for her first and usually there is just no saving her. Blasters are still hard to use in PvP.

I just finished my 100th match and am Adamantium league and ranked in Top 0% (whatever this means, but it's as high as you can go.) This is stupid long.. but I broke it down for sections if some doesn't apply to you. Here we go!

State of your account
I'm level 101. I'm freezing here currently (and you should try to remain 104 if you can or for others, close to a turning point like level 100) due to the ability to still get matches against pre-100 opponents. They don't have the extra armory page or access to the Star? isos either. You do need to drop some gold on those, but I recommend it as it greatly increases stats. Buy and level up heroes all you can afford too. They greatly help your stats as well.


My Team Setup
I use WWII Cap still because his auto protect is fantastic. No matter who goes first, he is blocking everything. With the isos and armory page he is pretty beefy still. his retaliation with Shield Bash is so good too. The protect on all of their aoe moves is huge too. Colossus does not have this or a retaliatory hit and that's the biggest downfall on his part.

Quicksilver or Annihilation Human Torch are my current other 2. Torch can absorb the dumb moves by the AI like coulson's revenge or any other ability that does fire damage and it's hilarious. They waste their turn and you heal from it.

But lately, QS has been proving fantastic. His opening turns lets me get some early damage on anyone I want since he doesn't provoke counters or protects. Plus with a lot of people in the higher leagues wearing the reward infilitrator costume he procs his tag team every time. basically 4 turns total to start every fight. And then his second time around you always hit 1 more time for 3rd stack on quickness and then aoe stun the team. It almost always stuns 2 of them, which means you basically all get a free round across the board.

My Items on Agent
After Quantum Jumper nerf, I use magnetic shield generator now in place of it. The 1000+ dmg shield and the almost guaranteed bonus turn is amazing. I almost always use this turn 1 for my agent because it keeps Cap alive through any onslaught or combos plus gives him a bonus turn amidst theirs. And if he does die, it takes all 3 turns of theirs to do it and with a few shield bashes from him and my follow-up turns, I can usually take out 1 or 2 of them.

I also love Dark Sigil. It applies void and burning to everyone on their team and this alone sometimes wins matches. If they have less than 500, don't hit them, because they will die on their turn. The weak point it applies though is FANTASTIC. If I get my electromagnetic shield up, then I use that on a Cap round 2, he returns attack with shield bash and I get bonus turn. Now my Coulson's Revenge is guaranteed to hit and crit him. Dead.

My 4th item is still chrono overdrive. I don't open with it into Coulson's Revenge hardly ever any more this season, but when you can finish someone off with this, do it!


Tips on Who to Focus in Fights:
Do they have protect? Is it Aoe protect? Have to just chip away at this without QS. Try to combo them down best you can or play defensively (shields, heals etc.) until protect ends or you have an opening.

Go for the agent first otherwise. His utility is too good currently.

Never attack a MB. Let her do what she does and if you can finish her or combo her out, do so. But never attack her just to get some damage on her. This is bad.

If Scarlet Witch is on their team, she no longer uses chaos shield first as AI, so beat her down before she can. She's worthless if she doesn't get that off. And her probability field has a cooldown so don't let her hit that one by just smashing her down first.

Ignore Emma. Everyone uses her but she doesn't do crap against me. Let her sit and do her thing until she's the last one left. Trying to hit her through organic shield while fighting off others is too annoying. You may miss with 1 person, hit with 2nd (giving her organic recovery) and then 3rd person only get 1 hit on her. Complete waste. Just ignore her and only attack through mental anguish if you will live and take someone out. Otherwise, shield, heal, etc.

Strange is a current favorite among people. His shields are annoying and his extra turns are strong if they have his attack high, but he seems to die pretty quick for me. I focus him if I need to, but he's usually a second kill as he rarely churns out enough damage to fear.

Ghost Rider is the tough one. I almost want to use him, but my current setup is working so well. His AI seems to churn out damage and hurt everyone on the team. I focus him if I can kill him, but that infernal contract thing is annoying! I still seem to find ways around him, but if he is left up too long, he suddenly penance stares someone to pieces for like 5k.

Kill Thor before he gets to 2 stacks of Might of Mjolnir. He is about to wreck someone if he does. Packing Torch or a strong blaster shreds these bruisers easy though.

Speaking of Torch, he is tough to decide when to kill as his plasma body sucks as retaliation to your attacks and his blazing speed is often used to dodge abilities. Plus, just for the same reason I use him, his immunity to fire attacks can hurt your options to finish him off. Check turn order and how many consecutive hits you'll get on him and if you have a Tactician, go for it. His Flame On will makeup some damage and so if you can't burst him down it's usually better to check to someone else and hope you don't get burning on you somehow prior to his first turn. That fireball is boom dead!

Closing! Finally!
I know this is super long.. but I love pvp currently and it's so much more fun in this season to have to evaluate matchups and attacks. Rarely does anyone on either side just instant kill everyone or even 1 person, so it's much more strategic. If anyone has any questions about a certain matchup or anything at all, ask away.. I'm more than happy to offer my 2 cents worth.

Agree with SW, she used to be one of the powerhouses in PVP but gets killed too easily. Magik I still run and she seems to do a little bit better than my Beast even though she's a stacker...but to each their own and honestly PVP is so random any how now matter how powerful or how many weapons/heroes you have.

I forgot to mention Strange's shields. His lvl 9 version puts up a shield that can absorb over 6k damage. That is nothing to scoff at! That's not even mentioning his passive for the smaller shield to pop onto your characters.

Haven't tried Quicksilver, but you've given some good arguments to why he could be good. In addition to what you've said, I find bruiser class advantage over him to be as threatening as infiltrators over tacticians, aka not that great.

The first 6 links work. Marvel: Avengers Alliance: Tips & Cheats: Some free items, Gold & Coins for Marvel Avengers. updated 19th November
Another thing with Magik when I play sometime she charges up pretty fast cause of the double hits that the scrapper bonus gives.

For the life of me, I cannot obtain a Dark Sigil. I have spammed that mission since before Spec Ops 4 started and have not gotten the drop. I miss the rewards previewer

I just spent 100 f'ing gold on "Try Again" for the Only For Killing weapon from 9.4 epic drop.. Makes me soooo mad cuz all I got was crap otherwise.

I know, could just farm the level, but I don't want to level up currently because of PVP as I stated above. 100 gold. Wow. Gone.
And the kicker, NEVER EVEN GOT IT!

[itMFtis]

Ouch, that's rough. So far I haven't spent any gold on rerolls, but then again, I've missed out on some Spec Ops boss rewards too which kind of stinks.

On another note, I got steamrolled by Quicksilver for the first time this morning. I swear it seemed like he was just attacking every which way. That player got lucky my agent was sporting the infiltrator trench. Back to tactician for me.

That gun is great in pvp on offense. Take it off to defend, but mental anguish for free is great. It's insane how dumb AI is with mental anguish on them. Gives you the best of Emma without having to have her!

same here. I'm not levelling up on PD right now but on FB it really doesn't matter for me. I'm still fighting people up to 15 levels above me. Currently at lvl 168.

I was lucky enough to get it pretty early on FB. I also use Emma sometimes in PVP but yes it's great on offense. Great to have to Mental Anguishers against stupid AI

For anyone that does not have her, Mockingbird will be released as a buyable character for Black Friday sale this Friday.

http://disneyinteractive.tumblr.com/...d#.UKz6A2ez5Ip

[itMFtis]

Curious what she will cost.

Edit: Forgot to mention, Storm got a major overhaul. Now takes advantage of her static electricity a whole lot more often, has resistance to elements (which she can extend to teammates), and even her shroud ability's duration can be extended. I'm trying to decide between her and Dr. Strange tactician at the moment

Hopefully 90 or even less it is Black Friday after all:P And I have the CP's and Gold stacked for it...

[Kaewin]

I hope she is 200+ gold. Limited Ed means limited! They said she was a one time deal like all the other Spec Ops were so when she is gone she should have stayed that way. My kids slept through the first 2 spec ops and now they should be able to get her by spending some cp's? That is BS. If you snooze you lose.

Haha I kind of feel you on that, but man going to use her in PVP, so BS how she's so powerful, that's one hero they should totally nerf. It's like the folks that spend crazy $$ upgrading their PVP walls.

Completely disagree. Actually I agree with, "Limited Ed means limited!". Having her rereleased for black Friday, for 4 days, means she is still limited, as in not always on the purchasable roster like all the other characters.

I don't think any character should go away forever, no matter the circumstances. A MAJOR driving force of this game is collecting all the heroes. It's just like pokemon. If characters are gone forever, then that "fun" is already taken away from some people before they've even had a chance.

Edit: It's been confirmed that she will cost CP
