It was up for a good bit. It was up for at least 45 min because I got in on the last 100 they had available. There will be another speed pack available at 8PM PST though if you really want it.

I'm still debating on getting another speed pack I can't blow it on silk because it would be a waste of 40 bios that I could use on someone else.

Not sure if you planned on leveling uo gear past 15 but it takes bios after that.

Yeah I do but I figured thats more of a long term thing.

Does anyone have a like or know off hand how many bios it takes to level the gear to max? I'm curious what it takes to fill out a character.

Ya good loving luck if you gently caress up and only bring one non physical damage character. Watch as Hulk laughs at you while murdering your dudes.

Hard to say for sure because it's got a random component. Consensus seems to be 300 ish?

What are the other characters with non physical damage? I know Yellowjacket and MODOK, anyone else?

Anyone with an energy attack can do damage with that attack (and conversely, energy characters with phys attacks will have those attacks gimped).

So for instance, Iron Man, Daisy, Mr Ghost RIder, Ms Captain Marvel.

I don't know if Thor's lightning attacks count, I would assume so. Also any energy character's basic attacks work.

I saw a post on Reddit that said if you lucked out and hit an ultra upgrade every single time, it would take you 36 bios to max a piece of equipment. More likely it's going to cost around 100+ per piece

Reddit says the crystal sale for bonus started immediately when the sales started. You are good to go. That banner is Korean time.

You can FREE WILLY style now and empty the ATM.

If you want to be safe though, do it tomorrow. Your call.

Same, anecdotal evidence makes me think it's easier to hit it on the earlier upgrades, perhaps to trick you into not realizing what a terrible slog it's going to become later. My War Machine's gun is at level 19, I can't even imagine trying to get War Wolf's weapon there, or god forbid Sister Grimm

I do really like that, other than the bios, all the other ingredients are in token amounts. Going from 150 dimension shards to 2 or whatever was nice

Hey so an actual helpful post.
Page 7 near the bottom is a very handy chart that shows the xp with each different event, level or daily

Since getting past 40 I find it gets a little easier. Not quicker, but easier. My Nico is 55 and I can auto around at least a level a day for her while powerleveling others.
Figure out what you stage you can grind and keep at it

Which ones? Do you mean the Dimension Debris? That's gear improvement material that you need thousands of when you start getting into the +10 region of upgrades.
If you mean the Norn Stones, you need those for Mastery, coded by a character's base type. That's extra stat improvement and unlocks leadership skills/upgrades them, for each star of Mastery.

Bi-Han now we've got Bad Blood
This is one of the few games where the reddit community is actually more then reasonable. (main forum people are poo poo) They are pretty positive, reasonable and always give good advice and have guides on everything from ISO to leveling and love spreadsheets.


Tiny Chalupa posted:

If you mean dimension rift shards, they are for upgrading gear from like 10 to 15. If you think you have a lot, I promise you don't. (unless it's like 1K, even then thats not enough for more then 1 character)
The rates also jump drastically.

Spend $30'and $30 for the norn stones and bios (100). Just find a way to split that for bios.

So find $10.

Debating who should be my last 6 to wreck at pvp and life besides Nico and silk. Strongly considering singularity.

600k down the drain and I haven't even rolled a single 8 iso set. Yeehaw!

A day or 2 from now, once the sale goes live, someone new will be 6 star.
Is there a better pick than singularity to rock out with silk and Nico?
