I hate how some of the missions only open after you've recruited __ number of heroes. I want to go into the fourth chapter but I need to recruit my seventh hero. I want to save for Union Jack or Hercules but I need like 60 more command points for either. Any really good characters for around 30 points I can get in the meantime?

Get Storm; 4-4 is the best place to grind CP before Chapter 12, and you need Storm to access the epic boss to do it. I think she's one of the 44 point heroes, so that should be more affordable for you.

Getting a limited edition P5 costume might be a more pressing concern, since who knows when they'll be available again.

I'll have to try Scott out now that he looks pretty good.

Though I hopped on the Rescue and Omega Sentinel bandwagon. I put on the Ionic Sledge and the sword that prevents buff removals. So I have those two buff my agent up and end up dealing massive fuckoff damage.

Using power of 4 when you are the only guy on a team, and 2 of 3 people on the other team are phased, and the 3rd has a mindlink with a phased character is not a good idea.

So I guess the only way to get CP is by grinding the roulette? I feel like I must be doing something wrong because I'm still on the first chapter, after like 4 or 5 days.

Are the premium 6th stages worth the cost? For example, chapter 1's has Abomination, I think?

The drops from some of the premium bosses are good, but they usually aren't as good as drops from Epic bosses (which also require a particular character, just as a deploy rather than unlocking a mission), and those usually aren't as good as something you spend gold on. Still, at low level they're better than a lot of other stuff available.

You can also get CP by spending gold (though you don't want to do that anymore than you have to, because you'll want to spend it on items eventually) or by 5 starring a mission.

5 starring all the missions in a chapter also nets a cool gold weapon. Some are better than others, like there are few better than the Screaming Eagle or Tyrant blade.

If you are playing on the website, you can use the tourneys to get CP. Tourneys in Words of Wonder also reward CP for some reason. I just started playing last week and I haven't had problems getting CP. I just bought cyclops and his P5 outfit. Its not linked in the OP but there is a wiki that answered a lot of questions I had.

How to fix Rescue who has completely ruined this pvp season:

Make a hero/agent weapon that applies a debuff that deals Mental Anguish-level damage if it's removed. Call it psychic grenade or something.

Oh hey, that's what the new weapon seems to do.

Too bad it's part of the spec ops set!

iPad has the content from when the game launched, over a year ago.

FB and Playdom.com both have the same level of content, FB has (apparently significantly) more players, Playdom.com has some weird stuff like guilds and tournaments.

None of the three sync up with each other, naturally.

as Vex said the FB app and playdom site have the same set of content. But the site has some extra ways to earn CP that make it much less of a grind.

I'm not quite in Adamantium but in Vibranium I haven't seen an Emma in dozens of matches. Every team is Rescue + <powerful hero> or Inf Phoenix + <powerful hero>.

Emma's been neutralized through Psylocke/Magneto/Juggs. You'll still see her now and then but the power creep has knocked her out of the god-tier she sat in for so long.

Also, came in with someone's Red Skull at 93% and managed to finish him :stare: Scrap WWH/Juggs is a pretty good team when you need to do lots of damage.

I got tired of running the same teams so I'm mixing in Magik with other people now. I really like how she is now. A stealthy attack and even if you don't get a soul charge, you can put deathfrost on everyone from the start. She is the perfect counter to Shadowcat Kitty, too. "Phased? Well gently caress you, I'm gonna hit you anyway."

I figure it is for the next spec-ops. They usually base those items off of the spec ops hero or villains but I dunno who that could be based on.

I fight against her all the time in adamantium. She has some counters (e.g., Juggs) but they seem to be rarely used. I'd definitely pick her up, even if she isn't as dominate as what she used to be.

I use Emma for her stun and debuff removal/ power enhance and it's still worth it. Her final attack is one more debuff for Rescue to clear.

The two things that drive me nuts about the iOS version is that SP are really rare, and CPs barely ever drop. I only managed to get enough to get Iron Fist because i 5 starred 3 missions in chapter 1.

I have nearly 100k silver because I don't have enough Sp to be able to use it for anything. I do notice that allies give you random, single gifts, one of those can be 10 SP, but drat SP has the worst gold to exchange rate.

I do love pvp giving you a turn order that makes it almost impossible; All my guys go, then WCP, then the other two guys. Thanks, so if I manage to kill someone on the other team, jean is just going to res them, then do Phoenix Fire and reset the res ability over and over again.
