Kind of a silly question about ISO-8 sets:

Do I need to put my ISO-8 in the exact order as the set, or do I simply just have to equip those specific ISO-8 from the set? Either way isn't too bad, but the former makes it trickier if they aren't at level 55 yet and I want to use a Chaotic, for example.

Just drop them in.

On the topic of ISO-8 sets, incase anyone didn't know, the bonus value of the set is based on the lowest level iso you have slotted for the set, so if you have a 1 star and 7 6 stars isos slotted, you get the 1 star bonus, but if you have all 4 star isos slotted, you get the 4 star bonus.

Post it easy!
Speaking of Iso-8s, the +attack ISOs work like +attack on the costumes right? Someone like MODOK should get +energy or +all despite having some physical typed attacks because those physical attacks get the same bonus in spite of their typing?

The iso sets are always all attack, so it doesn't matter.

The individual ISO crystals can be all three types though.

I assume that's how they work, yes.

The crystals can be but they unfortunately can't be controlled when fusing, overall not worth the effort in the grand scheme of your stats unless min-maxing.

Technically the team bonus and iso set bonus will be worth more.

Started like a day ago or so, got a 3* MODOK level 30, a 3* Red Skull that is like level 17, and just got Silk which I'm gonna start levelling soon. Should I just focus on those three with any new biometrics I get or should I bring my attention to someone else?

This is completely false, it's the average but it's in discrete steps not a smooth line. So if the average is 2* you get one value, if the average is 3* another, if it's 3.9* you get the 3* value. That means you don't get the 6* values until they are all 6*, so you're better off with half 6* and half 4* than half 6* and half 5*.

Yeah you're never better off with lower. Half 5* will always be better than half 4* even if you get the same iso bonus values, because the 5* isos have better stats on them. There might be a minmax equilibrium where half 4* is a reasonable compromise though, please do a spreadsheet.

best numbers are 1 because i am number 1 if you put numbers 2 to 6 in your ISOs then you are not number 1, you are a different, suckier number somewhere between 2 and 6

That's for dimension rifts, not special missions. Special missions all cost the same amount of energy.

I still have slots for friends if you want Assemble points and/or need to fill up your Friend List for crystals (like I do). IGN is onelouderash.

Also, I have started working on a spreadsheet to maximize my biometrics to 6-star Carol and Loki quickly. My real-life shame level may actually outpace my in-game shame level at this rate.
