You should probably hold on to one of each except for gungnir, ultimate nullifier and the norn stones. If you really like captain marvel or ghost rider keep the gungnir as well.

Hefty damage, whip and claw builds are both viable, with traps backup. Maybe you could even go traps primarily, I dunno. Plus her 'lives' mechanic makes her almost unkillable.

Listen to this man. Everyone else who posted about bad heroes has no idea what they are talking about.

Isn't Loz playing all these dudes with top tier gear and rolls that most people will never see? So wouldn't that skew his analysis a bit? Or is gear not as big of a "NOW THIS HERO IS A GOD" in this game?

If you have something in common with the banana, facts will prove you're a better player than most. Just listen to anything a Yellowman says and do not question it.

So tap it once or twice when levelling instead of fully charging it.

I don't have amazing rolls on anything but Vision's slot 4 (which isn't used in ranged spec) and Human Torch's insignia. Those two are just ridiculous. Also with it raining gear I'm working on getting all 20 rank 20 ults fully geared at the same time so I can stop unbinding stuff all the time. So that doesn't leave much ... wait ... 20 rank 20 ults ... ... Well, there's what makes most of those heroes a great experience for me. But, then again, if they weren't fun I wouldn't have maxed the ult in the first place.

I think if you are buying the actual tab it's a selection after you click on the purchase new tab button.

I do feel like using crazy gear skews the 'is this hero good' test. As does max/really high omegas especially when recommending characters to new players.

Reading through this thread while the game downloads. Starting a new F2P account like in Future Fight because this is the New Fiscally Responsible Me. Who is the absolute laziest character to play? I'm talking you just smoked a bowl after a 12-hour shift and 60% of your attention is on Netflix on the other screen. Just wanna be able to do endgame (excluding raids, not my thing) as smoothly as possible!

Maybe Deadpool? No resources to manage, no complicated rotation of abilities, just press buttons as they come off cooldown. He's got good melee and ranged builds, is a solid pick in basically all content, and has a built in zero cooldown teleport.

Yeah summoner Doom is the hero voted Most Likely To Never Press A Single Button but he also doesn't get permanent summons until specialization unlock at like lvl 42 so he's kind annoying to play until then as a summoner, so his leveling process is slightly less mindless.

Silver Surfer might be good. He's frenetic and your screen is shaking while you zip all over the place but you can just kinda go dash, spirit restore button, repulse backflip and the screen blows up. Plus the act of dashing to your next objective kills everything o your way there.

You can get a pretty good sense of surfer's play style by trying him out until lvl 10, doom takes longer to shine though.

Yeah Doom owns and I thought of recommending him, but he's going to be the very opposite of "mindless" during the leveling process, which takes *much* longer for a new player than a veteran. He'd be a great choice to unlock as your starting character from an eternity splinter perspective, but there are multiple 2-400 splinter characters I think you'd be better off unlocking immediately and using for your first playthrough.

Doom is actually a fantastic choice for a first hero to unlock.

No spirit so he's easy to level without gear or omegas.
Level 1 teleport.
Endgame summoner spec for afk netflix farming.

Heroes without spirit are the best choices for the first few heroes you play while you build up gear and omegas, they almost never run out of gas while moving through zones and won't have to fall back on basics to deal damage to a boss.

Doom
Deadpool
Silver Surfer
Juggernaut
Vision (kinda needs gear+omegas, but still really simple to level)
Hulk (not recommended)

Blasting Doom is your best choice until 60. That green cone-shaped blast you start with is great and will carry you all the way.

Doom has 5 summons, but when you specialize one button will summon three groups, and another group stays summoned, so there's two buttons to push. And you push them over and over and over...

Well because he's not fantastic in the end game and I'd hate for a new player to spend a large amount of time leveling him only to find out they can't even pass the cosmic trial.

He's pure melee, but 90% of his defenses are tied up in short invul procs on huge cooldowns and a massive amount of regen.... tied to a basic punch you will never use.

On top of that his damage is not stellar.


Doom/Deadpool/Surfer blow him away in both leveling ease and endgame viability with and without gear. Juggs/Vision to a lesser extent, but still.

If you want mindless, go Deadpoop. Canadian Devil kills trash mobs, Not-So-Minigun kills bosses.There's a bunch of cool other stuff, but really you can play the whole game with just those two powers if you want to.

And gearing him is easy; when in doubt, just strap on stuff that increases his "awesome".
