The I Am Iron Man Legendary Event returns to Marvel Strike Force tonight and I intend to upgrade my Iron Man from 5 stars to 6. With that intent in mind, I will post the results of my attempt(s) to use my SHIELD characters to bump Iron Man up a star. Of course our Unlocking Iron Man post

Here is a look at my SHIELD characters as I start the event (on June 11, 2019):

• Nick Fury – 6 stars, 5 red – Level 70 – 59,198 power – Gear Tier 12 +5
• Quake – 7 stars, 4 red – Level 70 – 53,195 power – Gear Tier 12 +5
• Black Widow – 6 stars, 4 red – Level 70 – 49,131 power – Gear Tier 12 +5
• SHIELD Security – 7 stars, 4 red – Level 70 – 36,233 power – Gear Tier 9 +5
• SHIELD Trooper – 6 stars, 3 red – Level 70 – 32,886 power – Gear Tier 10 +3
• SHIELD Medic – 6 stars, 3 red – Level 70 – 32,072 power – Gear Tier 10 +5
• Hawkeye – 6 stars, 3 red – Level 55 – 19,767 power – Gear Tier 9 +0

I have over 1 million gold stored up and a few free plus signs to use if needed as well as the shard to upgrade SHIELD Trooper and SHIELD Medic to 7-stars and SHIELD Assault to 6 stars.

 

I Am Iron Man – Tier 6 Battle(s):

06.11.19 – I am leaving Quake out of the lineup which is tough given she is Gear 12 +5 pieces, but I want to keep the SHIELD team intact as much as possible. My team power is just over 209k.

Iron Man joins my SHIELD team in this untimed battle. I take out their SHIELD Medic first to ensure no revives will take place, then start hitting the taunting SHIELD and Kree characters. After hammering through them this battle is proving to be easy with my lineup as four enemies remain. Because he is such a key character I take out Nick Fury next, then Quake which leaves a Kree Cyborg and Reaper to clean up. A couple of hits later the battle is won and 200 shards of Iron Man, 1000 Premium Orb Fragments, 50 power cells and 500k gold are mine.

My Iron Man, with a power of 32,172 at 5 stars, 2 red stars and Gear 10 +1, upgrades to 34,256 power.

 

 

Now three months later, I am finally upgrading Iron Man to 7-stars.

Here is a look at my SHIELD characters as I start the event:

• Nick Fury – 7 stars, 5 red – Level 70 – 68,000 power – Gear Tier 13 – Abilities 6-6-7-5
• SHIELD Security – 7 stars, 5 red – Level 70 – 55,451 power – Gear Tier 12 +5 – Abilities 6-6-4
• SHIELD Trooper – 7 stars, 3 red – Level 70 – 37,316 power – Gear Tier 10 +4
• SHIELD Medic – 7 stars, 3 red – Level 70 – 40,351 power – Gear Tier 11 +2 – Abilities 6-6-4
• Quake – 7 stars, 4 red – Level 70 – 57,160 power – Gear Tier 13 – Abilities 7-6-6-4

 

I Am Iron Man – Tier 7 Battle(s):

In putting this team together I realized that I do not have SHIELD Assault at 7-stars yet, so Quake gets that 5th and final spot. Hawkeye is also an option, but he is far weaker than Quake. My team power is 258k.

Iron Man joins my SHIELD team in this untimed battle against 8 enemies, Captain America, Hawkeye and Iron Man to start. Killing off one enemy brings all of the rest – Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, Vision and Thor. At these gear levels and with this lineup this battle is really no challenge.

My reward is 300 shards of Iron Man, 2k Premium Orb Fragments, 50 Power Cores and 1 Million Gold.
