Holding 1-2 T2 tickets isn't a bad idea for when patches are coming out, you never know what insane bonuses they will give out.

I am actually a bit surprised we have not seen anything with a few new T2s to go with the new Thor movie, guess the timing is too tight with all the Dr. Strange stuff. Thor used to be so good but he has really been left behind. The rest of the cast need some serious help, other than Loki that is, though I wouldn't complain about some extra DPS for him.

They did say the next big content patch was Asgard, so that's where I assume we'll get another event like Strange.

Probably complete with an epic quest for someone. Odin would be sweet.

You're the guy that hoards potions in an RPG because what if you need them but then the game ends and you never used them

A little, but we also just got a new batch of characters that seem to be better than most of the current crop. I've already got all the top tier stuff like Carnage, Sharon and Hype.

In a F2P mobile game like this it seems wise to be to only spend your resources when necessary. The developers will throw waves at you designed to deplete your crystals/tickets/etc (we're in one now with the Doctor Strange patch) and make you want to spend money. If I'd burnt all my tickets on say The New Avengers when they came out, I'd not have the stuff to power through large portions of the Doctor Strange quest/work on T2ing stuff like the Ancient One.

Anyone who has T2 Miles or Gwen, can they solo that horrible Songbird Rumble?

T2 tickets burning a hole in my pocket and I'd like to use it on Miles but not if he won't clear a floor of SL for me

Dude is very delicate and also only gets his cool T2 damage bonus against villains, so no way. Both Gwens should be pretty useful, I cleared it 2 weeks ago with T2 Silk and T1 Spidergwen. I dunno if anyone can solo it because it's one of the worst floors in Shadowrun, but if anyone can, it's one of the Gwens or Elsa.

BGrifter posted:

I have 25 characters either T2 eligible or will be when their T2 comes out, I'm just not convinced any of them are useful enough to justify burning a T2 ticket on right now. So they sit in the inventory while I work on Dr Strange patch characters.

This makes perfect sense if you can already finish Shadowrun I guess.

Yeah I'll probably bump her up once everything shakes out with the new characters and I know how many T2 tickets I'll need for those. Only one I'm 100% on so far is Ancient One.

I also can barely get characters ready for T2 faster than the tickets are coming in. I have one T2 ticket left in my inventory and the only eligible hero is Black Widow, with Kamala and Loki as the only fully maxed characters without T2. By the time I get Ancient One or whoever ready, I'll have another ticket from the check in rewards anyway.

That made me look and I notice we have no female villain blast characters at all. Only Sin for Speed and Nebula for combat, too. I'm thinking about T2ing Nebula/YJ/Green Gobbo to flesh out the roster and get some villains around. Would Malekith be a better T2 blast villain? Need the uni, right?

Do any costumes change characters between hero and villain? Seems like an easy move, plenty of people have gotten mind controlled or raised by Nazi's in alternate dimensions at some point in Marvel's history.

Yeah I'm surprised we don't see more of them, especially with characters that have obvious villain versions, Like Gwen as Carnage (which I guess could also be a genderswap costume for Carnage) Heck wasn't Daredevil a villain during shadowlands?

Well Loki and Sharon Rogers are two characters you should aim to get to 6* asap. There are a lot of mediocre characters so it's kinda hard to list them all.

Well I finished off Wong, and I had already put 60 bios from Shadowlands into Ancient One so with the 4* from today I got her done also. Working on Kaecilius now and I have 1 mega rank up for Clea, are Satana / Hellstorm any harder to farm than the first 4? I can grab a second mega rank whenever that pops up again which means I should be able to get Strange finished pretty soon if everything works out.

You can't use selectors on Satana but I believe you farm her and Hellstorm at the same rate as the previous characters. Clea is the one that's really annoying to get bios for.

I'd hold it for Clea, who you'll have to rank for Dr. Strange just like Mordo, but she's much harder to grind. With your full list, I don't know that Mordo is going to be the difference between a WB clear and none.

Awesome, if I can grab another mega rank I can use that on Satana and then use my Shadowlands selectors on Hellstorm which should be everything I need for max Strange times. Not super worried about T2ing any of the new characters right away, they all seem good but not game breaking.
