I did it ICR, I came back last night and rejoined the supergroup. I like what I see, too bad about the Vision? I'll still play him. (MusketThumb)

Hawkeye Build for Doing Things Besides Murdering Dummies


Flash Bomb is a great damage boost, but it's only worth one point. Only the c/d scales, and you're going to get enough points from gear to make that a bad investment. Pop it whenever it's off cooldown, but try to make sure it's up right before you use you're big cooldown powers.

By c/d do you mean cooldown/duration? Because both of those scale up.

Go into a cosmic terminal, click on the quest tracker til it shows you how many dudes you need to kill for the bounty chests.

Okay I'm coming back in after like a year or two. I've got a Hawkeye, Black Widow, Daredevil, and Storm. And I just got a Black Panther. The others are close enough to 25 that I'm just going to level them up for the synergy thing and then switch to Storm because she's closest to 60.

What's the general leveling strategy? Just run story mode a bunch of times? Are there any generally good leveling builds? Should I buy the mystery character package for 175 or will I get enough duplicates that it's better to just buy them individually?

I've only ever seen c/d abbreviating cooldown which is why I was trying to clarify what he meant

I could lie to you and say yes, but no. I honestly forgot that the duration scales.

Make sure you only do the first bounty. I did some testing and its the most efficient way to do the 100 is just 1 box and kill boss. You can't double dip with multiple boxes or multiples bosses like dr oct and modok.

At level 33, with no additional power duration, it's a 4.6s duration for the stealth/buff on a 9.4s cooldown for me.

at 37 points the stealth and 25% damage buff is 4.8 seconds

at 1 the damage buff is 3.0 seconds

With as tight as HE is for points I can't see flashbomb being worth 20 pointing in any scenario.
