    I have 10 health packs. Why would I have more than that?

    I am not sure which is more stunning. Thinking that "only a couple hundreds" of health packs isn't a lot of health packs. Or complaining about teams not being beat but only because not wanting to try due to possibly needing to use health packs.

    I am well into 5* land (about 40 550s, give or take) and rarely have more than the max health packs (sometimes if I open DP Tokens, I can be over max for a bit). I just use them as needed and they fill back up. If I need to buy some during PvP, I do.

    I used to have close to 1k health packs. That's before I dabble in PVP. Then it drains at a fairly consistent rate, till those metas come along, and Dev adjusted the MMR a bit. Now? The game almost constantly draining health packs, be it PVP or PVE, but mostly PVP. Currently at 14. Maybe it's just me... :|

    I currently have 7 health packs.

    Kudos to those that can save them though.

    I've never been good at hoarding anything unless I simply don't have an outlet to expend the resource.

    I have 9. So do you guys always heal your characters after every fight? I had to revive She Hulk but Peggy is like half health and I'm going into battle with her - I guess maybe I am reckless?

    So is this universal? When folks here talk about PvP showing them "teams they can't beat," does that always translate to "teams with a less than 100% chance of flawless victory (probably, we haven't tested)?"

    I've played a lot of PvP since 2014 (**** ...), and, until quite recently, it's always been punching up. Fighting 3s with 2s ... fighting 4s with 3s ... fighting 5s with 4s .... fighting lvl 500+ 5s with barely champed 5s ....

    Finally I "caught up" because those I am matched against got to 550s and could go no farther.

    So, IME, setting aside seeds and seals in the early going or when MMR breaks, it's always been punching up.

    But ....

    I can't remember the last time I got through any PvP fight against a peer without using at least one health pack. Is everybody just strictly punching way down?

    Say what now? If true .. are ya doing this right? Hard to imagine playing events fully if this were true.

    I make a judgement call each match.

    1) do the characters I'm bringing into the match have more health than what they can be reasonably expected to lose against the enemy team?

    2) do I need to use a health pack for the daily quests?

    If I'm out of health packs I just jump in anyway and try to get creative using different teams.

    I did 6 fights earlier and needed a pack for She Hulk and eventually for Pegor near the end. It helps that I was using Nova as her going airbourne protects her. Every fight had either at least one boosted character in the 570+ range or higher or an unboosted 550, so gives you idea of damage levels faced.

    So I just lined up a boosted 635 Black Widow and 573 Hawkeye team and had a very bad board, my Yaro Root did not work and I got destroyed, so if I want to continue with Pegor (yes) Nova (maybe) need packs there as She Hulk survived as I bravely retreated! She Hulk isn't too badly damaged so here we go for next fight. That puts me down to 8 health packs, let's see how far we can go!

    I'm saving them for when I need them...

    Battle done! I lost She Hulk. I guess I could use the loaner. Let's see who I can fight.

    672 Hawkeye/660 Widow. Hmm.
    Sam/Juggs
    Jane/Polaris.

    Lucky number 3 I think!

    Loaner She Hulk used.

    Battle done! Pegor is down to just over 100K health now though but let's keep going!

    Thor/Nova looks like my best bet here and both are only at 478! So this should hopefully save a pack and stretch Pegor (assuming I win!)

  • DAZ0273

    Victory! But Pegor got killed!

    Ugh...now a choice of 550 Nova, a 656 Widow with Omega Red or 672 Hawkeye with Chasm.

    Revived Pegor and She Hulk. Fighting Hawkeye.

    Well that ended up being pretty quick! My Nova is only level 481 too!

    Next up - Polaris/Thor which should be OK as they are not too high. This PvP is giving me all sorts of opponents compared to last one.

    Oh that went badly wrong but I still won! However, Pegor is dead, She Hulk is dead and Nova is down to 20k health. Yikes!

    Three packs gone, Shang 550 and Deathlok next. That proved no problem. Hmm, a Rescue team with Beta Ray Bill? Sure, why not? I have 4 packs left.

    Jane/Shang 519/509 - Let's go!

    Done! I have to stop now as IRL thing to do but that was 7 fights and I still have 4 packs left. Seems to me I wont need hundreds to keep going?
