This kinda got lost earlier so I'm gonna re-ask: How are y'all primarily using your exp chips? To supplement your main team? Or to catch other heroes up?

I like to use them when I'm powerlevelling some 3-star chump to 45, I'll do the last 1-2 levels with chips. There's no wrong answer though, getting your mains to 60 is pretty important, and getting a broad base of useful characters is also pretty important.

It'd be for a day or two when Alliance 4 starts up. Not anytime soon. Then you switch lead back to me. Gratzi.

I'm VIP3 so... Probably $75?

I won't whale out hard like MH in the long run. These guys are much more generous with stuff. The $4 Stark Stash monthly is plenty. I did the crystal buys for Black Friday because I didn't expect the deals to be so amazing.

So I'm basically $4 a month now.

How's Ant-Man, Giant-Man and Yellowjacket for a three stars team? The team boosts seem nice, and at least Yellowjacket and Giant Man seem well regarded. I have a three stars hero thingy and was thinking on burning it on Ant-Man.

Exp chips actually have diminishing returns when used on higher level characers(source:reddit).

Use it on lv 1 characters and boost them to lv40 if you have that much. Note best condition affects exp chips.

Alright looking for advice here. Tomorrow I get a token to rank anyone up to 4 stars and need advice
My current 4 stars are
Nico blast
Wasp blast
Angela universal

I have various 3 stars, 2 stars and 1 stars
I feel like I should use that on a fist or speed to better balance out
Possible choices are
She hulk, currently 1 star
Fisk, currently 2 star I think
Green goblin, currently 3
Spiderman, currently 2
Daredevil, currently 2

Daredevil and spiderman seem the easiest to farm and, slowly, push toward 5 but she hulk is beastly.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Use it on She Hulk. Everyone else can be farmed at a reasonable pace.

Do you know if the exp chip rank matters (e.g. do level 1 chips work best on one star dudes and worse on 6 star dudes) or do they just apply their stated xp amount?

On the shame level I'm just under vip 3. Spent money during Black Friday with iTunes gift cards being on sale.
The new guild should be up tomorrow for sure. Still farming.

I was able to squeeze out 500,000 and the third alliance is open. It is called Goonlactus.

Zaboron is leader of Doctor Goons which has one spot open now too

Unfortunately I'm heading to bed now so everyone will be added in the morning if you apply.

Metroid sighting huh? Well, I did just pour this coffee...it will still be there tomorrow.
I pulled a 3* Yondu from a random box, and he's actually pretty good. He does big damage, but his attacks are pretty slow. He's pretty good in Battleworld where he can get away from everyone and just plink away with his arrows attack.

Yondu's bouncing arrow is great AoE too since it's basically Cyclops's ricochet blast from MH except it can hit like 30 times.

Hogama, you're pretty active and you're a MH bro.

If I start the guild, can I switch you to leader and you can just manage the 30?

Your call but I'm offering. I think I have the 500K ready after your 24 hour leave.

Kelp, I'll switch lead to you until I get back if Hogama or somebody wants to manage Throot Force.

Edit: 90 minutes (6PM EST) until XP and gold boost start!

I'd have been down with that if my current alliance hadn't just hit Lv. 20. I don't have anybody at 60 yet and those 15% EXP and Gold boosts are just so good, sorry.
I do have a separate account for some testing purposes but I'm currently keeping it logged out to see if I can get the "returning player" log-in package; supposedly you have to be logged out for like a month, and then you get stuff like a 5-star selector for coming back.

I applied to goonlactus as Onorai.

Got my 5 star selector today too for returning and picked up elsa bloodstone, so now i have that, a 4 star captain marvel, and 4 star sister grimm from buying her bundle. Though now i can't really use any of them for the 1-3 star battleworld and the rest of my team is bad. Oh well.

I'm Nebiros but still on the 24hr cooldown, if it inexplicably fills up SUPER FAST can you keep a slot open for me? TIA

Also lmao I was a dum and didn't know about character rarity when I got my selector, so I have a 5* Destroyer. It's not bad, but man I should have made a better choice.

^^If you have the required units there's no harm in playing a few games, even if you rank low you get like maybe 8 biometrics, which is p good!

Depends on the costume. You can check them out with the Preview Skill button in the roster view. It lets you check out the moves for anyone in the game, and all the uniforms, even if you don't own them. A fair number only have minor modifications, but yes, Superior Spider-Man is practically an entirely new character from Doc Ock. Kingpin Armor Wars, Bullseye 1872, and Punisher Noir are fairly noticeably different in their sets and animations; Captain America (2099) gets a Falcon twirl on her shield slam, Falcon (Captain America) replaces his guns with the shield bounce, Blade Classic gets a stake toss to replace a buff, Groot Thor Corps whips his hammer around instead of doing a limb whip slam... that sort of thing.

I gotta agree that the Test Arena for Preview Skill is a gamechanger. Mr Gaz, are you listening?

I still haven't looked at everybody's costume skills but have learned as I play the chars in Timeline and what not. I remember when maybe 1 month or two ago they only had like, 5 costumes for sale. Now they're all for sale and more come out constantly. It feels good and it seems like the game is thriving.

Oh, I haven't said this yet, but if you're huge Marvel fans like a lot of us, pick up Marvel Heroes again if you haven't. Game is pretty deep now and has a huge rebrand update coming January. Many of us posters here play that game along with this one and know each other after years of playing there. Game used to suck, it doesn't anymore.

Run both games together. Farm up in MH, farm up in FF. A winner's lament.
