Ah awesome. I was adding isos to Psylock and was wondering about that.

on each character's screen, itll either say "energy damage [some number] or physical damage [some number]. thats how you tell if someone needs energy or physical damage gear, you cant go by what damage type their skills do (because some people do hybrid damage types and some people do the opposite to their damage stat, like... hyperion i think?).

All the new costumes seem good but not must haves so I'm leaning towards saving for Psylocke (or the next update that tempts me).

It makes his self buff happen instantly instead of the many second multi stepped process it normally is so 12/10

Don't forget how the white lines on the costume make him look like he is wearing Flip-Flops.

You've done well, kiddo.
As has been said, his buff is instant (and also x-frames + damage), also his thousand punch skill now ends in a super chad punch rather than a virgin slide. His effects are now a nice purple/pink colour.

He got floppy hair too.

Huh, I've been playing this dumb game since launch and I never realized that. But then I went forever without realizing that ISO sets were a thing, or how T2 worked. Like seriously, I had like a ton of t2 tickets on hand when it was explained to me.

I also had like 50k GuKs stockpiled too because I never bothered to upgrade peoples gear. Just level and rarity.

More like "why can't I use this poo poo? It says doesn't meet requirements, but it doesn't tell me what the requirements are!".

So I finally finished Shadowland. What's up with the last 10 or so levels having garbage rewards? The most useful stuff is in the first 10 as they give GuKs and decent number of bios. I don't need another 3* comic card.

I had like 2-3 days, so yeah, I probably don't NEED to do it this way. I ended up spending crystals to refill Daily Missions once but even if I hadn't done that I would have had a day and a half to spare at least.

I just have this part of me anxious about it and wanting to make sure I give myself the best chance possible and this other part saying to just do everything now before bed and chill out.

I basically decided that I'm going to just wait until tomorrow for the HQ stuff. Even though I hosed up and locked myself out of HQ missions for 2 days I still finished it.

I still can't believe the garbage rewards for clearly SL. Ooh an okay iso an a 3* card. Level 5 has better rewards. I can always use bios.

A lot of new characters have been released lately, is there a current ranking of who you should put resources in? The only ones I can figure out are Psylock and Deadpool.

EDIT: Of course you can't pass HQ 7 on the first day because you can only do 5 WB in a day.

Just requested to join waifu squad :clint: This is the first phone game I’ve played more than 10 minutes. I’m playing lady captain America as suggested, not sure why she was, but her AoEs are p deece. I have no idea if I’m using my resources correctly, should I avoid using gold on rank ups on anyone but her? I’ve also used all the free lvl. 4 exp boosts on her accidentally and jumped her from 10 to 17. Oh well, she’s a little OP for the level 2 story missions now :shrug:

Should I have avoided ranking her up and all that and just made her a 6+ character with the free upgrade they give you, or should I save that for a character I enjoy? Also, I can’t read well so I’m sure it’s been said, how do I choose the greyed our characters in the hero chooser if I want to use the 6+* gift on ‘em?


I’m going to be so unproductive at work tomorrow.

So when you start the game they throw a lot of stuff at you. And this game has tons of different mechanics.
And they give you some unique resources at the start of the game and some of them are best spent on rarer characters than others.

There are some guides on what to do at the start of the game.

My advice is when you can go into the main menu go into Legendary Battles. It used to be called Cinematic Battles. It's a small set of fights based on the movies. You are given maxed version of the characters for it.
The very first time you do Thor 1, Black Panther 1, Avengers 3 and Ant Man 1 in those, you are given six star versions of those heroes to keep. That should help out.

How do I get hidden route tickets without spending crystals on them? I have 1 and i need 2.

EDIT on the tenth reset of the lab store they showed up available using lab tokens.

They show up occasionally in the Alliance token Store but the last time was a month or two ago I think. Also often in the quest stores if you don't want to save up for the big ticket items.

That prompted me to look at my own and I have 1520 hidden tickets. It's really been a long time since they released new Special Missions.

The last time they showed up in the Alliance store was last month. There is a new event where they will be available for sale in the Alliance Store in the next few days.

Wow, Ghost is pretty good. I just T2'd her becuse I liked the character but once i upgraded her skills and gave her some Isos she rekts.

I always liked the comic character, so he's even pretty good without the costume (which I haven't bought yet).

Hoping for another sale soon. I'd also like to get the IW Black Widow just to make her hold her own in T2. Also hoping for a solid new Captain Marvel costume soon - just T2ed her and was a bit disappointed in the performance.

Captain Marvel is trash at the moment. Her movie will of course get a costume to make her S tier I'm sure.

Monica, Marr-vel, Dr Minerva and maybe Korath and Skrulls too. Movie CM costume and young Coulson probably too. Wild card Spider-Woman.

Supposedly (before my time in FF) there was a limited timed event to get this Captain Marvel costume. It involved collecting a load of comic covers (Which were different to the comic cards we get now.)
It was hugely RNG dependent and people who spent the entire event doing it didn't get the costume.
And for whatever reason Netmarble has steadfastly refused to re-release the costume.

By all accounts it's not even a very good costume (looks wise or ability wise) anyway.

It required a large amount of whaling to get, which is (allegedly) the biggest reason it's not been available since.
