Love love love Puzzle Gauntlet. Tried to be more helpful this time around...
PUZZLE IT
1 - Used Lockjaw and Black Bolt
2 - Used Medusa and 4*Carnage. Alliance mate said he used Polaris for Medusa.
3 - Cloak & Dagger (for a 3-cost power to activate Luke) and Venom (Brock) (to generate opposing protect tiles when I match a protect tile). THis was the slowest match I had.
CHANGE OF PACE
1 - Jean Grey Phoenix and Phoenix Five Cyclops. I used 5* Prof X for theme.
2 - Soooo easy - Kitty, Grocket, Polaris.
3 - I made an error here, I think. I used iHulk, Okoye, and 3*Thor. I wanted to see if Okoye would activate (she didn't). IHulk kind of worked against me since he took greens away and didn't match them up. I got off a really good shot with Thor's yellow and made 4 Green matches out of it (with cascades). It was a squeaker, but I got it done.
4 - Prowler, Shuri, Polaris.
5 - Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man (IW), Spider-Man 2099. Make sure you target the enemy Gwen first since she heals and stun her and the team as often as you can (Gwen's purple, S2099's Blue)
CHANGING THE GAME - I used Prowler. Let Patch take green while you build up blue. Once Patch fires off his green power, keep him stunned and make your purple/fortified-green matches (if you match an enemy strike tile that is fortified, it changes to friendly BEFORE the match is made, so it counts for damage.
BENDING THE RULES - From what was available, I can't imagine using anyone but Loki, but his health is so low, I was kind of nervous. Build up black and when red tiles are in position for matching, go for some green. Convert the strike tiles to protect tiles and match 'em. Daken will "help" when he matches green. Hate-draft blue when you can because if he gets his active power off, it'll be a huge percentage of your health.
I used iron Spidey instead of 2099.
Was I the only one getting a glitch where it would say -3000 damage when I hit but the opponent’s health does not go down?

Nice, I have heat to get anything but a 3* from these event’s normally available rewards.
(I got a 4* talon fighter, but I actually got that after refreshing the vault for a second try.)

All of my Tasky pulls were 3*s. I have a 4* already so I cannot complain.
I am going to save my puzzle vault tokens to see if they hold over on the next vault. Depending on the 4*s or the actual support I want to try to get the best pull ever.
I am really hoping that the next one is Cull Obsidian. I don't have it yet and he seems pretty useful.

Woke up this morning to having Quests to claim ... they increased the upper bound of the various "champ X number of X stars".
So check your favorites before you start redeeming.
I am not a fan of the one that says collect 1000 powers for 4-star heroes. I am at 453/1000 which would infer that out of the 111 4*s I have on average 4 covers for each, when in fact I have on average probably 11 covers per 4*. I guess they are counting the 453 from when milestones first started otherwise I would be at 1,000+ I am sure..

I am sure we were supposed to get Wanda shards with this PVE but they are Knull Shards. I went into LT's expecting the worst and instead got Wanda on pull #1.

This is mostly true for PVE and PVP ... whoever is a placement reward becomes the progression reward next time. Since Knull's placement PVE just ended, it should have been expected he would be the progression reward in Thick as Thieves.

So does that mean that the next PVE will have Wanda shards?

The progression prizes for Thick as Thieves is 5*Cyclops and 4*Dark Beast. Those are what progression shards will be next time. What will the placement rewards be? I don't know. There is likely some data out there that gives us a snapshot of when new characters appear as placement rewards in a schedule from their release, but I don't have it.
If someone could point me to it, I'd be happy to develop a shell of a calendar pointing to the pattern.
Oh, also you need to remember that ANY pattern gets bumped up a bit when an Alliance event rolls around (and we're due for one, it's been a bit)

You are correct with Cyclops and Dark Beast. placement Prizes are Surfer shards. So nothing special on that end.

I got top 50 for the Lizard and, with 2 milestones waiting to be redeemed coming to 1300 4* shards, he's probably going to be my fastest-to-champ character. In fact, if I luck into one of his covers from the "and Foes" vault, he'll be champed once I get through his PVP and Lost in Time.
Okoye (@477/@457/@450)
Yellow 810/694/658
Red 709/607/576
Blue 106/91/86
Purple 97/83/79
Green 115/99/93
Black 911/781/740
TU 458/393/372
450->457 = +7 levels
Yellow = +36 => +5.14 per level
Red = +133 => +4.93 per level
Blue = +20 => +.74 per level
Purple = +4 => +.57 per level
Green = +22 => +.81 per level
Black = +41 => +5.86 per level
TU = +21 => +3.00 per level
450->477 = +27 levels
Yellow = +152 => +5.63 per level
Red = +31 => +4.43 per level
Blue = +20 => +.71 per level
Purple = +18 => +.67 per level
Green = +6 => +.86 per level
Black = +171 => +6.33 per level
TU = +86 => +3.19 per level
So it isn’t entirely consistent using the integers.
If I am right, though, and there are unseen fractions, then that could even things out a bit.
But for my initial question of how many levels for Okoye to overtake Hulk on blue and purple....
Blue looks to be around +.7 per level and purple about +.6.
In both colors Okoye is behind by 5. (Of course, if fractions are a thing, it could be almost 6. Hulk’s blue might be 111.499 with Okoye’s at 105.501, for example.)
But for a rough guess, I will say 5 on both.
Blue...5/.7 = 7.14
Purple...5/.6 = 8.33
So, I would guesstimate that I would need at least 8 more levels on Okoye, probably 9 or maybe 10, in order to gain control of those colors. That would be nice, but that would also put her at least 20 covers up on my next highest toon. I am not sure if that would hurt me any in my PVP matchups.
I meant to post this a while ago to keep tracking.
Added 1 level each to Thor and Okoye.
I hope to add some more (to Okoye) on Monday when Knull goes in and I do a spree.
Okoye (@478/@477/@457/@450)
Yellow 816/810/694/658
Red 714/709/607/576
Blue 107/106/91/86
Purple 98/97/83/79
Green 116/115/99/93
Black 918/911/781/740
TU 462/458/393/372
Note that with a 4* Talon Fighter on her, the yellow values for 477 and 478, respectively, are 923 and 930.
Thor (@463/@462)
Yellow 605/601
Red 692/687
Blue 91/90
Purple 83/83
Green 779/773
Black 98/98
TU 392/389
Immortal Hulk (@452)
Yellow 94
Red 677
Blue 111
Purple 102
Green 871
Black 774
TU 431
If I can get Okoye up high enough to control blue and purple that will really be amazing.
I got top 50 for the Lizard and, with 2 milestones waiting to be redeemed coming to 1300 4* shards, he's probably going to be my fastest-to-champ character. In fact, if I luck into one of his covers from the "and Foes" vault, he'll be champed once I get through his PVP and Lost in Time.
Nice job.
Lizard seems ok, but he isn't mind blowing, imo.
In general since they removed the need for 10+ covers I have not been too worried about getting the new ones cramped. One cover is enough for me, and I sit in as many shards as possible for flexibility when it comes time to champ.
I have just been picking a target 4* and dumping everything into that one until it hits 360. Then I pick a new one.
Right now I am building 4* Thanos. Once he hits 360 I will switch to (probably) Shuri or Throg.

That's an impressive feat. Too bad Lizard doesn't seem that great but I could be wrong.

Probably to save some time until it is time to farm and decide whether or not to wait to make another roster spot for a duplicate or sell the max champ.
It is good to see you are still around
