You're pretty much invincible and you have healing from your 3* skill if you need it, so go with an attack set. For an Obelisk you really want Immune to Guard Break and then preferably something offensive like Crit rate or Defense penetration.

I went with PoAH and don't regret it one bit. For the Obelisk I went with Recovery/Invulnerability more for PVP purposes as he can comfortably clear 6/7 WB even without an Obelisk. I'm not 100% certain about its right, but I haven't felt any need to switch.

Oh right, Carnage is one of the characters that benefits a lot from an Immune to Guard Break obelisk so he can always use his skills on time to keep his invincibility up.

Proxima probably, yeah. If JaneThor's T2 is good she might be a little faster but that's about it.

EDIT: Looks like Dr. Strange is slightly better than Proxima on high health boss stages. On lower level stages they're probably about equal.

The thing you need to keep in mind with Proxima is you really want to set AutoPlay++ for her. Without it she gets hung up on a ton of objects.

It's the opposite, especially in one of the memory missions. Her skills tend to hit most of the boxes on Autoplay+ anyway.

Out here, everything hurts


I could use some help figuring out how the heck to spend my daily bios from the subscription.

I don't have a deep roster. It pretty much looks like this.

T2 Sharon Rogers
Carnage 6/6
Star-Lord 6/6
Floki 6/6
Ronan 6/6
Silk 6/6
Sister Grimm 6/6
Yellowjacket 6/6
Giant-Man 6/6
Jane Fosthor 6/6
Gamora 6/1 (got this as a reward from some box a long time ago)
Moon Knight 6/6

And then basically everyone else is hanging around 4 or 5 stars with little or no mastery. I can get 2 WB clears with Sharon and Loki but I don't have the strikers or another team ready. I'm focusing on grinding Deathlok, Widow, Kingpin, Iron Fist and the other dodge ignore ladies and Ant-Man.

T2ing Carnage would give me a 3rd clear but that's a couple weeks of my bio subscription. Is it worth it to do that over throwing them at the missing pieces in the rest of my roster to speed things up?

Take the plunge! Okay!

Since you already have the rest of Team Pym at 6/6, T2 Ant-Man is a sure daily WB kill 6 days a week.

Iron Fist is also very good, and is an on attack striker for your other WB teams, but a little bit on the squishy side (I run him with a T2 Thor for 25% chance healing proc).

However, since you're paying for the sub, and since Ant-Man and Iron Fist are farmable, and Shadowlands is a thing, you could do worse than finish T2ing Carnage, especially since you can farm the rest of his ideal WB team, Venom and Spider-man.

T2 Carnage is unquestionably the best Combat hero in the game, and probably will be until a new combat hero that is just obscene is introduced. None of the Combat Heroes that still need a T2 have a skillset that can even come remotely close to challenging him, unless Hulkbuster's T2 is INCREDIBLE.

e: Possibly Ms Marvel if she gets guaranteed dodge

T2 Carnage is also a completely different beast from T1. The damage increase is massive and the invincibility gives him off the charts defenses when played manually. And yea, being locked behind the bio sub doing anything besides getting him when you have it is silly. T2 Hyperion is a easy kill every day besides Infinite Thanos and can handle most of the other content in the game, but isn't as strong as Carnage. Worth considering if you do another month of bio sub though for sure.

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.

FWIW you can use the force-close trick (closing it over and over till you get her) to guarantee 10 a day every day.

I played the game the right way and just mega'd her

Clawtopsy posted:

Hyperion is the fastest; it's one of his weird, underrated qualities

I could explain at length but tl;dr it has to do with the nature of his abilities, specifically the one where you fly around & the eye beam

Nah she's like Gwenpool in that if she shows up as a shifter you're not guaranteed to get a bio. I think it's 50% chance.

Anyway I also Mega'd her today she's really not bad, she's just very squishy. Her clones do tons of damage even at tier 1 and she can keep a character silenced forever(though that requires standing in melee range so).

Yea, there's almost no point to T2 Ant-Man + Team Pym anymore with how good T2 Yellowjacket is. Even a T1 Yellowjacket does a ton of damage now because of how good his 6* is. There's already at least a couple clearly better T2 speed choices, and a lot of comparable/likely better ones.

Gwenpool, Spider-Gwen, and Miles are all decent speed T2s. Elsa is straight up great through.

For those doing Clea, her shifter shares the daily limit with story missions so run the Dark Dimension stuff first.

I quit for awhile, and just came back. Have three Tier2 tickets and zero T2 characters except for 5* Proxima. My plan was to focus on getting her maxed out, but who else should I be gunning for to really open the game for me. These Shadowlands are tough, but was able to beat the first two using Floki and Sharon.

So I've been testing to see if my T2 Hyperion really is faster than Proxima. While he has very impressive times he's still a few seconds behind. I don't have an ISO set on him yet, but I don't think that would make a few seconds of difference.

Those of you who have Hyperion outperforming your Proxima, what teams do you use? I use Proxima(L)/Supergiant(6*)/Corvus(1*) and Hyperion(L)/Thor(6*)/Jane(6*) for a balance between strikers and team bonuses. Supergiant in particular is really good because she has a high chance of using her 6* ability.

By the way here are my times for them. I used Stage 6 of the White Tiger special mission and ran it 5 times each. It's not the greatest because of Gwenpool shifter but whatever.

Proxima

0:41
