I know people are focused on the red, but with some yellow and blue covers it may be possible to get match damage down to 1 per turn.

If it is Captain Marvel and she throws down an attack tile that may be all you need (Caps blue will get it done).

It's not a pretty strategy but it's not overwhelmingly unfair as Kingpin or Thing had it.

Except as soon as she gets red, all of your protects go away. In a lot of these fights (Starlord v Gamora, Thing v Torch, XF v Cyclops) it's not just about dealing the damage but about doing it before you die from theirs. At 270 and 5 covers, her red is going to hit pretty hard.

If you can actually damage her, she's going to make 5 of the 7 red she needs. I'm envisioning needing to save up enough red to fire dive bomb twice in one go and then still survive her firing skills after. The player will need 9 yellow and 28 red. She'll need 7 red and 9 black.

It's going to be tough (hopefully I'm wrong).

It's 1500 damage at 166, so 270 shouldn't be twice that. I don't know if it takes your protect tile into account before destroying them or after.

You need to deny red entirely, but you want black to go off once. That's a bit easier than the 'deny everything or you die' that were Luke Cage and Torch.

To trigger her yellow you need to be doing in the vicinity of 900 damage per match. Which would require a heck of a lot of blue boosts on the strike tile. You may need to avoid making match 5s though. But it means her yellow should be a non event.

You may need a friendly board sure, but for Thing and Kingpin I needed a board that wanted to have my babies.

I'm gonna hope they at least have the decency to give us patch as the opponent.

Hopefully if they do go Cap Marvel, they go with the 2*. Protect destruction, energy absorb and stun is a bit much.
My Samuel L Captain is only 1/1/0, so this is another miss for me regardless.

Regardless of the oppponent, I'm in the zero red category (4/3/0) and doubt it'll be possible. That'll be 2 in-a-row, streaking in the wrong direction.

Gotta be trickery, right?

L270 Nuts from Above.

A Rogers vs. Sammy would be an interesting matchup. Not as bad as Marvel. But knowing how sadistic D3 is, I fully expect a 270 Marvel.

Devs NEED to do an easy one, most of us don t have the red cover, and it is because THEY keep using RNG for deciding cover rewards.

I am quite pissed, this is going to be the first DDQ4 I am going to fail, and I am going to fail with 6 covers of the featured char! (In most fights you can win with 6 covers). I can't even buy a cover or two with HP to make things easier, because the one I need to buy is the one I don't have. Sigh

PS: And I don't understand why JG was first, everybody has her much more covered than Captain Falcon or The thing so It would have been much appreciated if we faced her DDQ4 first so we had more time to cover the other guys...Devs should make the order of all DDQ4 public, so we all now, and we can prepare.

Got her on the second try with +100% all damage boost and +50% red/yellow damage. Was very lucky and got a very red starved board, saved up for a yellow+red combo, then kept counting the yellow tiles on the board to see when a Divebomb would KO her.
Got a Phoenix green from the legendary token, so that was very nice.

With 4* Deadpool Dailies, it is obvious that the devs are more interested in making you spend money on more covers than creating a DPD that rewards 4*s. Not only is it incredibly luck based, but it's almost impossible due to scarcity of covers outside of legendary packs (some people don't even have the red covers). Additionally, the devs seems to go out of their way just to make the match-ups impossible. We've got a character that can create shields on every yellow, so we are given an opponent that has 5 in red and can thus destroy all of those shields with only a handful of AP, whereas we need to gather 9 yellows just to cast it once. We can do lots of damage with Falcon's red, and even more with shields out, but it's all but useless because doing a large amount of damage gives an automatic AP boost to CM who then proceeds to kill us with the gained AP.

The problem is that without fail we are given an opponent at level 270 and with the most powerful moves. The game already has a scaling mechanic; why not use one here that scales to whatever level we happen to be on with our character? My Captain Falcon is only level 127 with 2/2/2. I should be facing an opponent about my level. At least that'd make it fair. Some people would say that that'd just make it easier to get more covers it'd break the game. My reply is, 1.) no it won't, because getting covers is only half of the problem, getting iso8 is another. Plus, with the rate at which they release 4*s, getting a guaranteed cover every 5 days is nothing. And 2.), isn't that the point of DPD? If not why even have it?
