Good Builds for Bad People
Welcome to the Goon Approved (mostly) Build Post. If you think your Cyclops could be a bigger, better, stronger one eyed monster then you've come to the right place!


Keep in mind that this game gets updated frequently and things get buffed or nerfed on an almost monthly basis but your bread and butter skills should stay bread and butter for a long time. Basic attacks, for example, that are universally agreed upon as being good will probably be good for months to come.

Not all of these builds will go for your playstyle. These builds are not a free pass for you to switch your brain off and not bother looking at other skills, but they're guidelines for what other people have found work for them. A useful website that's got build calculators on it is Marvel Base.(please note a lot of the builds in the popular sections are just builds that have been around for a long time and are awful because the aggregation there is based on total number of views/upvotes over time with no degradation for depreciated builds).

Marvel Base is kind of crappy when it comes up to having icons and powers in the same position so YMMV.


Please suggest more builds for characters that don't have builds!

Put a point in: Blessing of Bast, Unseen Predator, Wrath of Bast (Point Dump when you have extra points from story mode)
Unique needed: Boots of the Coal Tiger

Stack the stuff from Enervating Slash (which goes up to five times), do Slashing Lunge to use all of the stacks for a massive boost in a damage. It's pretty easy. For costume affixes, since he gets a ton of crit rating from a passive, go crit damage. I did the DPS test dummy and killed it in less than 30 seconds (went between 22-28 seconds depending on if I was distracted by stuff from outside of the game or not).

From that point you can max demons of denark for some health regain or a basic for levelling or whatever. Seven suns should probably get threaded between higher cooldown incantations and vapors of valtorr is the main reason you are looking to get the 5 stack reset. The build is very slot heavy, basically any 1 point utility powers are vying for 1 or maybe 2 slots on your bar. The passives are unimpressive even with the 50% boost they get from maxing your stacks.

Kelp Plankton posted:



Max:
- Spidey Pummel (basic)
- Spider-Brawl (single target spirit spend)
- Amazing Smash (signature, big AoE damage and CC)
- Spider to the Fly (damage boost off Web Spray)
- Web Wrecking Ball (trash smasher)
- Spider Sense (defenses)

One Point:
- Web Spray (CC, applies DoT, procs SttF buff)
- Constrictive Webbing
- Superior Agility (good point dump)

Optional:
- Web Shield (point dump, take this if you feel flimsy, don't need it with good enough gear)
- Web Swing Attack (CC break)
- Stick Around instead of Web Wrecking Ball (you do not have enough points for both)

How to play it:
Use Web Spray every 10 seconds to keep your melee damage buffed constantly. Amazing Smash should be used whenever it's off cooldown, otherwise use Web Wrecking Ball for clearing areas or Spider-Brawl for boss killing.

Spidey is super mobile and does a lot of damage, but you will want to give him some defense where you can. You don't need to gear exclusively for defense on him, that would be stupid, but slipping some in where you can is a good idea.

You can also put a point in Warbird Charge, if you want. This has two advantages: the dash distance is longer, and the coefficient is higher (.35 vs .18 for Flying Lunge). The coefficient matters because it is your proc chance for the Air Force Flight Suit heal (i.e. with Lunge, there is an 18% chance of the heal firing off, vs. 35% for Warbird Charge). Unfortunately, it does a fair bit less damage than Lunge.

- Spider to the Fly (damage boost off Web Spray)
- Web Wrecking Ball (trash smasher)
- Spider Sense (defenses)

One Point:

- Web Spray (CC, applies DoT, procs SttF buff)
- Constrictive Webbing
- Superior Agility (good point dump)

Optional:

- Web Shield (point dump, take this if you feel flimsy, don't need it with good enough gear)
- Web Swing Attack (CC break)
- Stick Around instead of Web Wrecking Ball (you do not have enough points for both)

How to play it:

Use Web Spray every 10 seconds to keep your melee damage buffed constantly. Amazing Smash should be used whenever it's off cooldown, otherwise use Web Wrecking Ball for clearing areas or Spider-Brawl for boss killing.

Spidey is super mobile and does a lot of damage, but you will want to give him some defense where you can. You don't need to gear exclusively for defense on him, that would be stupid, but slipping some in where you can is a good idea.

I do this, but with leaping assault instead of a basic.

BEHOLD! The upcoming change to the Shield Of Perseus!

Ok, update.

We could not fix the radius so we are sadly removing the proc, and based on community feedback, we are replacing it with 10% chance to gain 100 tenacity (1 minute cooldown)! I personally feel this is a super awesome 15/10 proc! Here's a screen from the test server:

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!


My Moon Knight build is earlier in the thread, page 4 or 5 or somewhere around there.

Also that Cage build is out of date, crowbar's typically only used now if you have his crowbar unique and not his knuckledusters-every other situation savage beatdown is typically better.

Also I'm not sure there's a consensus on Strange, especially since so many people are running bug builds. But for anyone just starting:

20 Cinnibar
20 Tendrils
20 Winds
20 Demons
20 Vapors

1 Dreamwalking
1 All-seeing Eye
1 Orb of Agamotto
1 Ancient Training
1 Images of Ikkon
(next 3 are optional)
1 Shield of the Seraphim
1 Seven Rings
1 Seal of the Vishanti

That's 5 maxed skills, all incantations. A bit about the incantations-he has very few non-incantation spells, and all incantations have a cooldown. However, he's got a mechanic where he gets mysticism for each incantation he casts, and after getting 5 mysticism his next incantation will be free and reduce all his cooldowns by 15 seconds. In theory, you can juggle your incantation cycle to maximize your cooldowns and mana efficiency, similar to old mage/hunter spell rotations in WoW. In practice, you just chain smash everything whenever you can while running around. Every incantation I choose to max is AoE except Demons (most of them having truly huge areas). Also, the incantations I tried to pick were also based on the cast time/windup associated with them. This largely disqualified both Flames and Chains, as they seem to have very long casttimes. Of the ones I picked, Cinnibar has the lowest CD so that's something you'll be weaving in between your others very frequently. Winds and especially Vapors have longer cooldowns, but with your chain casting you'll have them up frequently enough. Demons gives back health on hit which helps a bit staying alive (although I still find him soft), and tendrils has a slow that's largely irrelevant but also has a smooth cast animation and instant damage.

After you can either go with a basic if you feel spirit will be an issue, Fangs if you want some more single target for when your incantations, or All-seeing Eye if you want the damage boost and don't mind the relatively long downtime (1 minute CD, 15 seconds duration). Many people also advocate maxing Dreamwalking, but I don't think the points are worth it at all. Also Strange has a lot of powers that could be worth 1 point, but it's up to you if you want to take them to juggle around.

Artifacts will be your general stuff for AoE blasters (Pluvian, PPS), with also having the option for Headband as he's all mental. The regular damage suspects (HoD, GoK, AMA) also apply here-I'd also say that AMA becomes especially good due to how many powers he puts points in-getting +1 to them all is a nice deal.

His uniques are largely fine, although you could look into a Cerebro for slot 5. Doc Ock can also be an option on slot 2 due to his amount of AoE powers. Gungir for legendary with Warlock's eye being an option if you wanna be cute. Crit damage costume with health/25% healing on medkit core. Insignia is Valk/O'Grady. Doom or Doc Ock medallion. Defense Uru with either River or Storm Giant Magi word.
