Marvel: Avengers Alliance 2

[Lee Stone]

I made it to Rank 12 in PVP and then got hit with a slew of level 30 fights, all with free attacks, and got knocked back down to Rank 15.

Got Iron Man and Daredevil to 19.
Now working on leveling up AoU Hulk and AoU Black Widow (new character, btw) to 19.
Then I'll start on Luke Cage and Nova.

Meanwhile, I'm back to focusing on the story missions and currently playing through Chapter 2 on Hard.
After I complete all three Chapters in Heroic, I'll go back and fill out the gaps in Tasks.

hulahulk, I hope they fix your problems. The recent update fixing the crashes has made me feel more positive about their dedication to the game.
And if the Spec Ops extra purchase proves profitable, they'll surely be quick to iron out any other kinks.

[Lee Stone]

Discovered today that practice PVP fights count towards ranking up abilities. So if you need to use an ability 20 times it's a cheap way to get it done.

Edit:
Made it to Rank 10 in PVP.
Leveling up Groot. He's currently set to Leader.
Finished Hard level on all three Chapters. Now working on Heroic.

I also like that ISO Crystals aren't permanently attached to characters, so if you change your main three heroes you can swap in other Crystals with only a small cost in Silver.

My current team:
Groot
Black Widow
Hawkeye

Reserves:
Iron Fist
Wasp

Update:

More re-installs! I should get 5 gold for every time I have to do this

Anyhoo, here is my hero progression:

Hulk 27
Iron Fist 26
Iron Man 24
Drax 22
Moon Knight, AOU Hawkeye, classic Hawkeye, Hank Pym, Black Panther, Vision, Star Lord all at 19
Luke Cage, War Machine, and CW Cap all at 9

Commander level is 22.

I saved up for Hulk's 3-star ability. It's decent, but not as good as other characters' attack-alls (like Black Widow's).

[Lee Stone]

Finally got Groot to 29.

OMG, Heroic is a big jump in difficulty from Hard.
May have to put more thought into attempting that. Like with all level 30s.

Got AoU Iron Man yesterday after a dry spell of no new characters. He's now 19.
Full progress report later.

Story Chapter 3 - Finished and Farming Chapter 6 for XP
PVP Rank 8
Spec Ops 2 - complete

Notes:
1. I liquidated some Gold to take advantage of the Special Saturday Silver Scouting missions.
2. Got Groot to 29 and promoted Ant-Man to leader. Now focusing on leveling him to 29.
3. I have enough Silver left to level up five of my level 19 characters but I'm saving up. After the Saturday Silver ends I'll be running Infiltrator missions for a chance to get Black Widow to 30.
4. Free Attacks are all the rage in PVP. ISOs that give it, like Coordinated, or ISOs that reduce Free Attack damage are the hot choices at the moment. The one that gives a Shield is probably the next best choice.
5. Threat level RED in PVP: was Black Widow (Ballerina), Hawkeye (Stuns) and Iron Fist (Group Heal). Now the ones worth taking out first are Starlord (grants free attacks to allies), one of the Captain Americas (I forget which one, grants free attacks to allies when he's hit) and Iron Fist (group heal -it's still that good).
6. My Baby Groot solo danced for a whole minute with Thor in PVP when they were the last ones standing. Thor would heal a little bit and do some massive damage, then Baby Groot would heal a lot and do medium damage. Baby Groot finally chipped away at him and won. Yay Baby Groot!
7. The recent update nerfed Black Widow's Ballerina but it's still very impressive.
8. Stunning opponents in PVP isn't as useful right now, because it triggers Free Attacks and does little damage. If you're going to hit an opponent right now in PVP, it's best to go with massive damage attacks (preferrably ones that hit all enemies) or ones that apply Distracted.

Current team:
Ant-Man
Groot
Black Widow

Reserves:
Hawkeye
Iron Fist

Finally got Falcon today and now I'm working on Ant-Man.

[Lee Stone]

Made it to PVP Rank 5 with Ant-Man, Groot and Black Widow.

Got Black Widow to level 30.
Got Ant-Man to level 29.
Promoted Hank Pym to leader and began his journey to level 29.

Current team:
Hank Pym
Ant-Man
Groot

Reserves:
Black Widow
Hawkeye

If I drop out of Rank 5, I'll switch Hank Pym back out with Black Widow long enough to climb back up.

I'm running my characters with Coordinated ISOs for extra attacks and using Ant-Man to apply Distraction. With Groot as tank.

[Lee Stone]

I hit level 30, which appears to be the current max.

[Lee Stone]

Now that I'm level 30 and at Rank 5 in PVP, I've switched to casual play.

Currently doing my Daily Tasks, three wins in PVP (more if needed to stay at Rank 5) and one or two scouting mission per day to keep my Scouting energy below max.

Got Captain Marvel and leveled her to 19. Went ahead and bought her Frenzy ability while I had the AP for it.
Hank Pym is now level 25. Building up AP to raise his abilities to 3 stars.

No change to team.
However, I switched back to my team of Black Widow, Hawkeye and Iron Fist for PVP.

Hanging at Level 10 in PvP.

1 task away from getting Bucky (I can't beat Epic Cap, need to level more heroes).

Still having to re-install every day.

[Lee Stone]

It sucks you have to re-install every day.
I hope they fix that soon.

Meanwhile, after a nice win streak I got one dot away from Rank S and then started bouncing down and up.
I'd lose one, then win one, then lose one, then win one... on and on and on and...
Then I finally got the win and made it to Rank S.

[hulahulk]

Got Bucky and AOU Thor. Now to finish the Ant Man Spec Ops.

Civil War Cap is really good so far. Need to figure out his best skill set up, though.

I didn't have to re-install today -- which is probably only the 4th time or so since I started playing. I really don't get it. I don't do anything out of the ordinary. It may have something to do with the daily prize screen. Seems as though whenever those cartridges are the prize (I'm just guessing), I can resume playing without a re-do.

[Cmbmool]

Decided not to go for Bucky as I didn't want to pay 10 bucks for it.

Still got Wasp and Hank Pym during Superior cells.
