So they gambled a fixed amount and got lucky. Not an infinite gamble pool powered by money.

Yup! Just think! YOU could get that lucky!! What? You didn't in the first couple orb pulls? Well. You could just, like. Try another couple. There's an offer for a few for just a dollar! If you get a 7* you can be the envy of your guild! Top of the Arena!

.05% chance for a 7star, .5% chance for 6 star. Lower red star pulls than what you already have for a character convert to repulls at an incredibly low rate.

Cyclops actually has two eyes.

I haven't pulled any doubles of the red stars. What happens if you get a 3-star promotion and then a 2-star?

There was a 1 buck 1000 core deal about a week back that paid for a red orb deal. Don’t worry I used mine and got nothing so it’s probably for the best.

I think he means the two separate offers where you can buy 1000 cores for a dollar, and the one to get 3 red star orbs for 1000 cores.

yeah, I was. I guess to their credit you can't just slam dollars in for red orb pulls? I'm actually a little surprised now that I think of it.

Huh, funny. I just looked and there's now a 3 red star pull for 1350 cores.

New characters visible, so new looks at them with maxed abilities.

Green Goblin posted:

Villain, City, Bio, Blaster, Spider-Verse

Goblin Strike
Attack primary target for 330% damage. 25% chance to attack adjacent targets for 260% damage.

Burning Rage
4 energy, starts with 4.
Attack a random target with Stealth for 450% damage. If no targets have Stealth, attack primary target instead. Deal 50% additional damage per positive effect on the target.

Fire and Brimstone
7 energy, starts with 5.
Attack primary target for 290% damage. Attack 3-4 random targets for 290% damage.

Cauterize
On Spawn, apply Defense Down to the enemy with the most Resistance. If that enemy is SHIELD, apply Defense Down for 2 turns.
On any Spider-Verse ally's turn, choose 2 random enemies. If they have a positive effect, remove 1.
Gain 20% Max Health.
Gobby is very angry at SHIELD.

Spider-Man (Miles) posted:

Hero, City, Bio, Brawler, Spider-Verse

Quick Strike
Attack primary target for 280% damage. If the target has Defense Down, clear 3 positive effects.

Venom Shock
4 energy, starts with 4.
Attack primary target for 300% damage + change Speed Bar by -50% + Apply Slow for 2 turns + prolong all negative effects by 1. Gain Stealth.
This attack cannot be blocked.

Web Blast
6 energy, starts with 6.
Attack all enemies for 260% damage. Apply Disrupted to the primary target for 2 turns. Apply Disrupted to 2 additional targets.

Ultimate Spidey
On Spawn, gain Stealth.
During Stealth, +25% Dodge Chance.
On Turn, apply Defense Down to a random target. If that target already had Defense Down, gain Offense Up instead.
Miles does a heck of a number with that Venom Shock.

Carnage posted:

Villain, City, Bio, Brawler, Spider-Verse

Cleave
Attack primary target for 280% damage. If the primary target has a negative effect, Chain to 1-2 adjacent targets for 90% damage + spread 2 negative effects from the primary target to secondary targets.
This will not spread Stun.
Counterattack breaks this Chain.

Slaughter
5 energy, starts with 3.
Attack primary target for 420% damage + 100% additional damage per negative effect. Remove all negative effects from the primary target. Attack all adjacent targets for 250% damage.

Absolute Carnage
6 energy, starts with 6.
Attack primary target for 500% Piercing + apply 2 Bleed for 2 turns. If the primary target is above 50% Health, apply an additional Bleed for 2 turns.

Frenzied Fury
When an enemy drops below 25% Health, Fill Speed Bar by 30% + Heal for 10% of this character's Max Health.
No specific Spider-Verse synergy, but he loooves debuffs.

UPDATE: Carnage and energy data added. Spider-Man and Venom both gained the Spider-Verse tag, and each had their passives altered a bit: Spider-Man's now gives his bonus Speed Bar on Dodge to both himself and Miles (if on the same team). Venom's now gives the +100% Focus if any Spider-Verse character is present. (I assume any OTHER Spider-Verse character besides Venom; also, they didn't quite catch it in the description so it still says "Spider-Man" on part of it.)

Green Goblin looks like they photoshopped goblin's face on some generic monster's body.

I think they added in a whole lot of new achievements and you won them all if you had already passed those levels.

No they did, it was retroactive credit for a new tier of achievements that rewards red star orbs as you level.

You can run each team for free once every 2 hours. Depending on what you wanna do run them till you start costing 100 refresh currency and move on to the next. Depending on how hard I want the reward I’ll do that the first time and then just run the free till the end. I don’t try for top ranking cause that’s a fools errand on any real valuable character.

Just got started on this about a week ago and really enjoying it so far. This will probably be my go-to for a good long time, because I grew up with Marvel and turn-based rpgs.

I'll probably play most days, maybe miss a day here or there and do the raids when they come up, which alliance has space/fits?
