Enchantress is one of the few characters I regret T2ing, purely because she's so good without it and I only use her in Shadowlands where she doesn't need it.

At T2 she 100% locks down anyone so I would never regret

In the grand scheme of things I don't think Proxima was really worth it at the time I was ranking her up. She's good but not great and she didn't move into my top tier. By the time i had her finished I already had my 5-5 WBR clears and she can only help you with one floor in Shadowland.

I was heavily advised by this thread to rank her up at the time but since then we've got Jean Grey, Quicksilver, Cable, Scarlet Witch, and Apocalypse who are all better and rank up the same way. Plus now we have the Level 70/T3 characters who cost bios the same way. I'm not sure I'll ever get around to the Black Order if all the other Infinity War characters are Level 70s/T3s too.

I guess if you can't do Quicksilver and unlock him Proxima is the easiest option. But I'd just focus on using your bios on the general roster. Get everyone to 4*/Level 50 so you can get the best CoOp rewards. Then work on getting them to 6* and T2 methodically based on the tier chart. That's ultimately the way I went when Proxima disappointed and I don't regret it even if I wish I had built up Thanos, Odin, and Dormammu and mean to get around to them. Eventually.

She is top tier with her uni tho

e: and jfc Quicksilver etc are massive time investments. Ignoring all of the other poo poo you have to kill Quicksilver >70 times< to even start to work on Cable, let alone SW and Apoc.

I don't pay attention to the recommended damage. At some point I stopped being able to meet it but I can still beat Proxima at 19 at least once of twice.

Proxima's key from what I can tell is she's highly immune to Energy damage so you gotta use Physical attacks. I use Quicksilver, Wolverine, Hulk, Cap, Winter Soldier, Black Panther, and Shuri. I gave up on attack strikers and just do 5 "increase attack damage on super villains". After that the big key in the attack is that somewhere roughly around when her power falls to 11 she'll go up top and shoot a bunch of rays. You gotta avoid those at the bottom of the screen and wait for them to be over to attack. They'll kill you quick. Then again sometime when she's around 6 or 5 she'll do another close in attack where she sticks you with a circle thing and bombards you with rays. You gotta anticipate it and run away until she's done. If you can avoid those two attacks you can probably beat her if you're strong enough. If you can't avoid them it doesn't matter how strong you are, she'll wipe out your whole team in seconds.

Black Dwarf is the opposite as he has Physical immunity so you gotta go Energy. Scarlet Witch, Phoenix, Strange, Cable are mine. I basically go with the 5 "increase attack" strikers thing there too. He's got two big attacks in the same way at roughly the same times but I haven't figured the timing out exactly yet. The first one is when he swings his weapon around. You gotta get clear of that. The second is when he crouches down and powers up. If you can't break his shield before he does he'll shoot off the shockwave and kill you. So if you're not strong enough get as far away as possibel and tag in your most expendable player. If you can avoid those attacks, you stand a chance to win.

Corvus doesn't seem to have any Physical or Energy weakness that I notice. I use 5 "reduce dodge" strikers and sometimes a "reduce dodge" leadership (but I've mostly backed off that). I take him down with all the same people I use on Proxima and Dwarf. Its the same "2 big attacks early and late" thing but I haven't figured out exact timing yet. First one is four circles that appear around them. When you see them run and don't get trapped. Second is a wall of flame he shoots up. Gotta try and get as far away and avoid it, or sacrifice your weakest guy. He busts off a few other flames after that so stay alert. If you survive them you got a shot.

I just got to 10 with Dwarf and Corvus so I don't know how high I can get with them but I'll see. Proxima I have up to 19 and I just need to do the 15 clears. I've done all the time ones so I just haven't been doing much of her since Corvus and Dwarf showed up. I can't really do 5/5 with Proxima 19 or Dwarf 9 but I can get 2-4 wins at the highest setting. I've been bouncing around on days when one of the three aren't the daily bonus so I get the highest I can do with either.

I know you don't pay attention to the number but do you know what it shows yours as in general?

Also out of those characters I only have an unleveled Hulk, 6* but completely ungeared and unISO'd Wolfie, 62 Cap (no ISO because I ran out of rainbow), the free WS, 5* QS, 1* cable, and a kitted out Strange. I think I might just be using old and bad characters.

Yeh I guess that number is nonsense

I can do Proxima 1 with a team of Cap, Wolfie, and Ancient One, basically just swapping around and popping AO's heal bubble if poo poo gets too real. I still end with only one still alive though.

My strikers are pretty sad though and looking through things I've focused too heavily on energy damage. Im just hard up on gold to get 6* QS and not sure who else to pump for that physical, but I'll refer to The Holy Chart

My options are America, Hulkbuster, Lizard, Titania, Crystal, Quake, Kaecilius, Nico, Songbird, Wiccan, Karnak, Ms Marvel, Yondu, Hellstrum and Singularity. Probably Titania, Unless someone else is a better choice.

And yea, I t2 everyone I can, there's no reason not to.

I used to try to do this but then they started releasing weird new systems that would require Whatever to proceed, so now I just try to work on chars that fit the current meta

Cable 2* is 3 million gold, ignoring the material requirements

Gold is such a loving sink in this game and there's no good way to get it

E: are feathers actually considered easy to get? I maxed them but assumed that was because I was doing every drat mutie quest out there and not using them ever. It wouldn't be the first material that I had a glut of until I actually started using it.

Man I think they really hosed up timeline with Wolverine. I haven't seen anybody able to kill him. Spidy with the new outfit can keep him webbed 99% of the fight but not approach killing him, he heals too quickly.

I can't let Timeline auto pick the next match because if it's Wolfie they'll fight to a standstill.

I don't have any problem killing him with Jean and T3 Cap and can kill him off and on with Wolvie, Quicksilver, Witch, Cable, and Strange.

The big thing is you have to outdraw his 5 skill or be able to withstand it. People who have him worked up can kill you with that one move. Jeans useful that way because even if she dies she'll get back up. Quicksilver can outdraw and incapacitate him with the cyclone. Strange can freeze him. Stuff like that.

I haven't seen Cable and better guys so I think I'm just in Garbo league. Mine doesn't have an ISO set but does have a custom gear with 50% healing, 4 sec shield at under 50%, and stun immune, so that's alright I guess?

Maybe if I keep winning eventually I'll get my rear end handed to him

I just did a Strange and yeh he does the constant freese but he also is Guard Break weak and 5 bamboozles him hard. It really feels like Iron Spider is GB immune though and that fight takes forever

E: I also bought the wrong uni when I was drunk a while ago, I have enough crystals to get the "right" one, does it really matter?

couple of questions that may not be in the OP:

- How rapidly do you usually get your characters? I realize for now that the game shits out a lot of character boxes and you even get to choose a few of them but there are around 110 in the roster?

- Is it usually better to go for team compositions for the buffs or does it not matter as much? I have Rulk/Ghost Rider together right now and they get a crit/fire buff from that duo.

- it really depends on the character, a whole bunch are paywall (for example Luna Snow), some are long involved quests involving a ton of mats and gold (example Wolverine), some give bios from just clearing a few stories (Captain America, Iron Man, etc), some even are unlocked from a mini chain of quests that range from "upgrade 200 comic cards" to "defeat Quicksilver 15 times in World Boss"

- it used to not really be the thing in the main but I don't think it still matters until you're in WBU mode.

In the long run the third should be someone who buffs the whole team based on what you are trying to do. Off the top of my head, Agent Coulson, Valkyrie, and Shuri (with uniform?) are the best here for world boss and WBU.

I don't have Ragnarok Thor so I can't say, but I've got Infinity Thor at Level 62 and his Gear up to 21 with his uniform up to Rare and with a lightning pumping obelisk on him, and if I keep alternating between his 5 and his 1 for the most part, he manages to do significant damage to Proxima, but I bring Panther as backup for strikeys and Thanos for emergencies.

Also, even though he's not Ragnarok Thor, I still hear Immigrant Song in my head when I use him.

I've got Panther up to 64 as my highest, and I'm planning to make him my first T3 because I'm a T'Challa nerd.


vvv Oh, weird. I assumed if I could level him up to 70, there was a T3 waiting at the end of that.

I guess she isn't Lightning resistant like she is Energy? I keep getting hosed up with damage types.
