I picked this game up again and was hoping to connect with a Goon alliance.
My roster power(?) is just over 5 MM. Unfortunately, it's mostly packed with non-meta poo poo but I can at least soak some decent power teams in alliance wars.
So long as I'm active, I promise to stay in my raid lanes and push my buttons to punch the bad people.

It's kinda lovely that I keep running into teams I can't beat that are like 300k lower in power than my somewhat decent arena team, but I guess that's just how Scopely makes money, right?

While I'm getting my account sorted, just wondering if we should make a new thread? The OP is well out of date and it looks like ICR hasn't posted on SA in months?

Most everyone playing MSF is over on the goon gaming discord in the strike force channel. ICR is there and keeps a goon guide updated for us.

I Am Goon has a slot! We're pretty laid back so the total power is fine, just play n' stuff is all we really ask. We're public so you should be able to just join up without an invite.

And yeah the power numbers for teams are pretty deceptive at this point, especially depending on game mode. There are a ton of teams that have mode-specific buff and normal synergies that just aren't taken account in the numbers, which are only really an indicator of base stats. The more team synergies they have,t he less the numbers tell you.

Oh i never knew we were public so I always figured they were just goons i didn't recognize their names.

And yea I'm really bad at team building and going by what pushes my poo poo in doesn't work because its almost always event or paywalled characters. I mean paywalled as they were only available as orbs that had a very limited availability that you could never hope to get to 7* without spending money. I'm so tired of being smushed by Infinity Watch and teams made up of Cersei, Ikaris, Deathpool, Cloak and Dagger.

I'm new, there's a lot to follow. It looks like I should be leveling up to unlock content, but generally is it better to unlock more characters or add stars to existing ones? I'm learning towards "A", but I'm not sure about efficiency.

I don't think I can help much with hammer of the gods. Usually with those it's drop the difficulty or level up. Using characters that give each other bonuses helps a lot.

If you're just starting, what you should do depends on what you're going for. If you want to be active in pvp or raids then it's best to get the newest characters and focus on just one raid team. If you just wanna play for fun, then get your favorite characters and level them up.

You also need to unlock and level up some characters in order to unlock others. So it's usually best to plan out who you want before you invest resources.

I guess I never followed up on my last post.
I Am Goon currently full but I'll keep my eye on it.

The last post about "how do I start" is 4 months old, but here's an older but decent beginner's guide to team building:

I would ignore his video on

I definitely think Kree Minions prioritizing is still viable.
It unlocks Nick Fury who who has a lot of synergies and he's great.

I'm actually impressed at the amount of characters who are farmable soonish after release now, thanks to the Scourge events.

How is raiding in I Am Goon?
Not trying to sound like a Try Hard, but I'm at a point where I really need teal gear raid orbs to help me advance in the game.

30% on Incursion 1 normal (we could maybe get 60% with more coordination?) and we're starting to work on Incursion 2.

Scopely currently getting roasted on Reddit for the changes to the scourge milestones.
This game gets more like SW:GoH all the time, if you ask me.

I recently dropped that because i realized i had not progressed in months. I just did the dailies and any new character events that popped up but I couldn't even think of doing anything else because I lacked the huge gear levels you needed to even think about doing the latest content and gearing up is a real pain in GoH. I literally spend 20k crystals to level up my arena team, and it increased their power by 1000. Yea, gently caress that poo poo.

This is the worst thing is leveling. Training widgets are way to hard to get, but at least i have completed most of the training daily challenge so i get gold ones every second day which is at least 1 level for over 90 characters. I have so much high level gear just laying around because my characters are all sitting at level 1.

That was my complaint about GoH: it would take like 5 years to get to the legendary characters from my account that I actively played for years.
You spend all your time grinding little things and they don't add up to a hill of beans and that's how the scourges are now, imo. I was lucky to get all the horsemen unlocked before the changes, so there's no reason to do anything now that the milestones are completely out of reach unless I just want to start dumping resources into completely garbage teams.

Now that LOTR HoME is officially dead, I guess I'll come slinking back to MSF. I joined as Harthel last night. I heard they did something to make getting the Horsemen even worse??

Legendary Trials (Nova, Black Cat and Green Goblin Classic)and Horsemen are now on a permanent rotating basis, every week. Which means that to get shards, you need to hit a milestone instead of getting both milestone rewards and participation leaderboard awards. And the milestones don't reset, so you are forced to build the required teams to high levels to max out your characters instead of just playing and slowly getting something.

That sucks rear end, I stopped playing at the worst time I guess. I have a few shards for most of those trial characters from being able to hit the first milestone (pre-change) along with the bonus, but I wasn't even able to hit Milestone 1 on the ones I attempted. Can anyone recommend any guides on minimum requirements to reach the new milestones, at least to unlock? Are the orbs also locked behind the milestones? If so, that seems super weird.

Also, I'm wondering if I Am Goon has any raid assignments I should be aware of, not that I can do much of anything at my level (83). I finally got my streak started so I'm able to sim when I meet the requirements. Once I'm 85 I can reach the G16 requirement for the Gamma raid that we run, guess I won't be completing my daily raid objectives until then... What team(s) should I take to G16 first for Gamma raid purposes? Is there a way to share my roster? Does this link to my msf.gg roster work for others?

We don't really have raid assignments for, well, anything, just pick a spot and have at it. For gamma specifically? Don't worry about it this cycle, but maybe bulk up your Avengers/Soider-Verse to take a few cracks at one of the outer lanes? Though I also kind of hate recommending that because those middle Infestation/Wakanda/Kree/Pym Tech lanes are a hateful waste of resources imo.
