Wonder Man is a piece of poo poo and it's like Playdom specifically designed him to always die in every spec op boss fight. He's a weak, paper-thin Bruiser with a permanent Protect and lovely single-target attacks.

Always use Wonders Never Cease as you first attack. That way he heals when he protects, while your Agent & other hero can wail on the enemy. Or just use him as an item mule (I just kept him munching Shwarma while Hawkeye arrow'd the bosses to death)

I'm still grinding the first chapter and have a measly 22 CP. Who would be a good character purchase? I think I read that Doctor Strange is a good blaster, who I'll be able to get with one more CP. Or should I grind a few more days and save for Storm?

Get Black Cat, grind 2.3.

Free hero? Don't think there's such a thing in the iOS version. Or do you do something in-game to trigger that?

When you unlock PVP (You do get that on iOS, right?) they should offer you a choice of a free hero to pick.

I started playing this a while back, but ragequit halfway through the tutorial. Now that I'm playing it again, I just can't get enough command points to train my heroes. I've gotten my starting heroes to about level 3, but the bennies I'm getting from my Facebook friends just can't keep up. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, you're on facebook. Quit and start over on playdom. It's pretty much better in every way.

Considering an official MAA screenshot had the leethax button in it, yes.

I only use leethax for collecting bonuses because gently caress going to every ally's page and clicking all over for it.

I don't think any features work with it anymore either, but I'm not gonna use it or any other hack for gold or whatever.

The auto flightdeck still works. You need to update it every now and then, but it's worth the trouble.

Remember:set it to 10 minutes (3 for level 1 jets) for the most XP, and 20 for earning silver.

I cant seem to get the auto flightdeck to work (its the only reason I want leethax). I go into the biohazard icon, check the box next to "Automate flight deck", then hit close, then nothing happens. Am I missing something? Does the game have to be the active tab in firefox or can I just leave it open in another tab while I do other stuff?

On an unrelated note, is there any point researching stuff? I'm level 87 and I fell behind on research a while ago because I didnt have enough silver to train people and research. Now I'm finding that the weapons I occasionally get from beating bosses/lockboxes etc are worlds better than anything I can research.

Sometimes you need to kickstart it by collecting your ally bonuses with leethax.


Bell_ posted:

I keep hoping they incorporate Leethax's best feature by far: Skipping animations during fights. It's not that I dislike the animation, but the sheer volume of fights they ask for make animations drag things out and get less fun.

Silver is ridiculous to get in the iOS version. Heck, I think they even make it two or three times expensive to buy compared to the FB version so nobody but the most ridiculous or naive whales think to spend on it.

Yeah, skipping the animations is another handy benefit. It's a shame subsequent waves don't actually appear. Although you can still fight them but it's a pain since you can't check the classes of the various enemies.

Tony Stark stumbles into a convenience store, wearing his Mk42 armor with the visor off, beard unshaven and eyes bloodshot. Furiously, he grabs all the bagged nuts he can finds and dumps them in front of the cash register. "I tried beating up Test Subjects for their acorns," he mumbles to himself, wild-eyed, breath reeking of alcohol even across the counter, "but they wouldn't give them to me. No acorns. No acorns." He notices the cashier's confusion. "HEY. DON'T give me that look, kid. You're nothing. You're nothing. Christ. I'm a loving genius and a millionaire. You're nothing. How much?"

When the kid, on the verge of tears, manages to stammer out a price, Tony nods, still mumbling to himself, over and over, about how "where squirrels go, she will follow". Then, the door slides open, and a listless SHIELD agent walks into the store, pushing a wheelbarrow filled to the brim with gold ingots. After a near-hysterical phone call to the manager, the gold is dumped in the backstore while the acorns are put in the wheelbarrow, Tony leaves with the SHIELD agent. The second he's out the door, Tony stops and screams to the heavens, at the top of his lungs, "SQUIRREL GIRL! COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE!"

Bought the gold weapon for the set. It's not bad, but it only heals you for a few hundred. Probably not worth it. :(

It works if you have the Guardian or Watcher and Protector (you should at least have the guardian and protector from over the course of the SO). Activate the protector, then when you attack with the Watcher or Guardian, it'll follow up with the Might. I like the synergy. I'm glad that most of the functionality of the set is achievable with 3 out of the four pieces, though I'd like to nab the watcher before the SO ends.

TV Zombie posted:

Down to the last spec ops objective and they want me to beat Dorrammu, the epic boss in mission 2. The clue that was given to face off against Dorrammu was that I needed to complete my deploys as quickly as I could and the last deploys are Wasp, Psylocke and Red Hulk.

All characters that I do not have. Is Black Bolt worth this frustration?

FYI you will always need 3 heroes to complete the last challenge of an SO, one of which will be a PVP reward hero. So I'd suggest that however you approach this, grab Angel for next time. On after that will be bishop, one after that will be spiral, so on that account you can get out in front.

Also, the wiki will tell you which guys you need to get to complete once an SO drops, give or take a few days. Basically, whatever the deploys are for the epic boss mission, you'll need to buy them.

It sucks, but there are ways you can get around it.

But grab BB if you can, since I think they're only selling SO heroes for 50 gold now. so spending the 25 is worth it, relatively speaking.

Spider-Man, Thor, Hercules, Scarlet Witch, Hulk, and Black Knight are the 90cps I have left to get. I'm not big fans of any of these characters, but I wonder which ones unlock the most stuff. I know I need Black Knight for S2C1, but c'mon, he's Black Knight. I found him boring as hell to team with, but I guess he could bleed-combo pretty well with Elektra and Ares.

You need SW to unlock the epic mission for S2C2, so get her first.

Also, how can anyone not be a fan of Spider-Man, Hercules ,or Thor? You're allowed to dislike one of them, or mybe even two, but all three? Nuh-uh. :colbert:

It is a mystery to me that the Loki lockbox covers don't have a single issue of Gillen's Journey into Mystery among them (pretty much the most important Loki stories in recent years), while Constrictor's had one from Avengers Arena (when he only had a single page appearance).

he switched to Infiltrator afterwards.


Whereas I wound up fighting the previous run of Kurse multiple times (I only had an hour until it reset) and the rear end in a top hat stayed as an infiltrator. And I did manage to get him down enough to score some cold iron, so I don't know what the gently caress.

Anyone else finding Kurses to be rare as hell on Playdom? Outside of the first day, I never seem to have more than three or so up a day, and it's usually more like one or two. I only need at a maximum nine more cover pulls to get Loki, so I'm not overly concerned that I'll manage that, but if this is the shape of things to come I'm not looking forward to the next SO lockbox, where I probably won't be so lucky to have six covers after seven pulls.

I've had quite a few. But I purged a bunch of my inactive allies, so that might have had something to do with it.

Is that all it does? I've seen people posting about having issues using it.

Also, leveling QS to 13 is the most boring slog I've ever gone through.

You can also have it so it automatically sends heroes off on flight deck missions, which works out as far more efficient than sending heroes off for missions for an equivalent amount of time.

You can also collect all of your ally bonuses at once which is very convenient.

It also had item drop functionality, but I think that's vestigal and they specifically warn you that it sometimes cause CVEs.

Usually if people are complaining about having issues they mean the automatic flight deck thing.

It's really very handy. And apparently at least some people at playdom agree, since I think there's been a stry screenshot that had the leethax button/logo thing in it. Usually has some issues whenever they put out new content, but otherwise there's no issue with it as far as playdom's concerned.
