So, dicking around with Ghost Rider, is Hellfire worth using as a basic over Chain Thrash? I'm having a stupid amount of fun with the character so far but I've always preferred ranged types in these games.
I wanted to do a Hellfire(tree)-focused Ghost Rider, but Hellfire is a pretty shithouse basic. It feels really unsatisfying to use, and I found the fireball effect of it too small to be any good. Chain Lash is a lot better as it does more raw dps, isn't a projectile, has as much range as you'd ever need, permanently boosts itself with Idol of Khonshu's, and 1 point in Chains Ablaze will give it spirit restore so you can go back to using your real abilities Inferno/Damnation faster.

Past week or three's haul:

-Picked up two random splinter boxes: Cable ult token, Thing ult token (this seriously has the highest drop rate anecdotally).

-Spent splinters on Magick for a team-up because she's a badass with some sort of psi-beam-saber

Then the event hits:
-Random hero: Cyclops ult token
-Random costume: Some Iron Man skin, I now have 3 Iron Mens and no Iron Man (Heart Breaker, Silver Centurion, some other one now)
-3xOdin mark chests whenever those pop up, 30-40 cube shards so far

Only having 550Gs left and all the cheap heroes, as well as not being interested in the cheaper costumes, I gambled another random hero this month with splinters: Nightcrawler!!!

RNG feels cruel when you don't win. So far I'm pretty low on the RNG love totem.

Of the many wonderful things about Fiskmas, the best was hearing "WASTE DEEZ GUYZ" every 5 seconds for like 4 hours a night. Maggia own.

I know it was unintentional, but they really should make Fiskmas an event. Run it twice a year. Fiskmas In July, and then in December.

Playing a Luke Cage, it's fun to go through Purifier territory, find about a dozen of their minigunners all in one big pile, and just stand there and let them unload. It's a fun spark-lightshow, but I don't quite think they understand the whole 'bulletproof skin' part.

The game is great at making you feel superheroic, though. When multiple minigunners are unloading on you at near-point-blank and doing zero damage, you feel unstoppable.

Thanks for the input. I actually had a unique drop that boosts chain skills a little after that post, so I have a reason to use it now!

Squirrel words

Been playing around with a pet damage-focused Squirrel Girl this weekend myself, and if you haven't yet I'd suggest giving Squirrel Saboteurs a whirl. At point blank range all 3 saboteurs will hit your target, and with high +pet damage gear the damage seems to be comparable or better than Nutcracker. Plus you don't have to worry about spirit. As an aside, Saboteurs count as mob deaths so if you have a Symbiote Infestation or the like it'll proc that regularly.


I have echoes of old school D2 skelly necro with SG now, just hanging in the background behind an army of squirrels, a sentinel, a frost giant, a raptor, and symbiotes just lobbin' even more squirrels at stuff. :feelsgood:

Virgins are people who live in Virginia. I know you don't live there. That should answer your question!

Also, with all the little issues with boosts running down, login issues, etc. I'm wondering if Gaz has any additional plans to make up for some of the mishaps.

I would love the event extended into the next weekend is what I'm saying. :)

Though it wouldn't surprise me if they did this in two months. They'll need to do something to top this week, and without this, it would be hard to so much as break even.

EDIT: Come to think of it, won't their anniversary be awfully close to Steam Summer Sale time? Probably just enough to not hit it, but it'd be a hell of a time to do something.
