Also, best way to earn crystals is doing the pvp? gently caress fighting 3 bosses at once. What the hell game?

You don't have to win, or even actively play. It autoplays itself. Just fight dudes with worse teams than you. Get your honour tokens, get your 7/7 dailies. Always do everything cos theres only like 3 modes you need to manually play.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
Two months to get Biometrics to 6-star a hero and god knows how many Norn stones for mastery seems like a lot, but holy poo poo if the game doesn't throw energy at you to grind with. Between XP refills, extra energy from quests, a free daily refill, Assemble points and all, I don't think I've had top put the game down due to lack of energy since I started, and I still have a 100 energy refill in the mail.

Also, is it better to roll for flat or percentage increases in gear? The first ones seem pretty equivalent, but logic says that percentage based ones should be better in the long run.

Percentage increase for the first option slot, flat ones for the rest. The flat bonuses increase with higher slots but the percentage–based ones remain the same.

Shouldn't the effect of the percentage based ones increase as your level goes up? It says "by level" in the bonus but it's an mobile game, so poo poo not working as it says it does doesn't surprise me.

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
It means that if you have a 50% bonus, and you're level 40, you'll get +20 attack. It scales literally off your level.

Ok, so basically a flat bonus of 30 is better than 50% will ever be. I can see why from the second up it's better to have flat bonuses.

Thanks for the help, both of you.

Note it is a good idea to keep most of your reserve heroes at 3* and raise them to 6* in one go by banking bios.

If you want to Battleworld with them, yes. You need 4* heroes for team up play and the rewards for that are pretty awesome.

You pick one hero and team up with two more players and fight a boss. If you die you revive in 10 seconds, if everyone dies you lose. Each boss has their own environmental hazards. You get more rewards for having a higher whale level.

I think that's it at least. I haven't had all three characters die so I am just assuming on that part.

Yeah that is how it works. You also have to active play.

Just hope you don't get teamed with pubbies that do not know what they are doing.

If you want to be a jerk, I think you can kick everyone until you get two 6-star teammates and then leech off them. The mod at /r/futurefight kicks every Giant Man he sees because he just hates Dr Captain Pym that much, so it's a real dog-eat-dog world.

You can follow 50 people on Google+ to fulfill the 50 Facebook allies thing and get 1000 free crystals.

On Android you just tap the green controller icon on the home screen and view the leaderboards via the crown icon. Load any leaderboard and view all. Now just individually click on 50 random asian dudes and add them to one of your follow circles -- you don't have to be accepted by them or anything. Get back into the game, tap the allies button and enjoy your free stuff without having to humiliate yourself on your actual Facebook account.

Now that's pretty awesome. Good suggestion sir.

And to the question way above, save auto ranks for chars that are hard to farm.

I'll add the farming character spreadsheet to the OP ASAP.

Ok this poo poo confused the gently caress out of me, so hopefully it will help you people.

Type damage, when you are rolling your slot 1 gear, get whatever damage type it says on your damage sheet.

Where it was confusing is people like Ultron, who are Energy damage, but they have a skill that said Physical. The skill that says Physical would use his physical damage stat right? Wrong. It still uses his energy damage stat, because that makes sense.

So look at the character and get whatever stat is listed on the left side

So what's a good mix of heroes to have as your main group? I've been focusing on a team with synergies (Right now MODOK, Red Skull and Captain America), but I found out during the current Alliance battle that I have literally no speed heroes leveled up. Lots of Combat, lots of Blast, and a couple of universal, but I don't even have a single speed hero at 3 stars.

Should I just throw everything into boosting a speed character, or is a mix of combat and blast good for now?

You will want to get at least one speed guy. Spidey or DD are both top choices and Sharon Carter would would fit with your Captain America.

Edit: Doctor Goons is full. If a spot opens up I'll post about it. Thinking 5 days is a long enough not logging in to kick people.

Do the highest level story and special missions you feel comfortable in taking on in a timely manner at 3 stars (and try to combine it with the farming you want to do). Do the highest level Daily Missions you can for your allowance. Level up your Warp Device and send your team to the highest missions they can do. Do your Bonus Missions and Villain Sieges and Alliance Battles for that small stream of EXP Chips.

You can hard reset your app to keep Best Condition indefinitely if you do it before your team's used it up (so at 8 or 9 missions, instead of using the full 10 Best Condition gives you).

Up to you if you soak up every last point while farming the low level bios on your main team or if you spread it around. I like to use the early chapters to bring up my extended roster. Just keep at it, in any case. Game's a marathon.

If you have that much energy stockpiled you probably don't play enough for it to matter, but you miss out on the daily free energy recharge and also just regular energy recharging if you don't at least run your energy below its max

I don't know, I've found myself short of energy quite a bit the last couple of days. I'm definitely not putting in eight hours. Even with autoplay.

I whaled and paid like a whole $10 and got the Nico pack from the shop and she's super rad. Can't wait to get her maxed out and I'm looking forward to seeing what her new costume does when it's added.

Also managed to grind my way to getting Loki and I think I might be doing a magic team if there's someone else to throw in alongside Nico and Loki who works well. Doctor Strange isn't in this yet is he?

Depends what you spend your energy on. These bonus xp 3 energy story mode events will take hours to burn up your energy, but if you go for 14 energy rifts you can probably only play 30-40 stages a day.

No Dr Strange yet. I guess maybe Ghost Rider shoots magic motorcycles at people?

Don't you get reset back to your maximum Energy value when you gain a SHIELD level, losing the entire surplus? I could swear the game used to do that, at least.
