Right, so as a relatively new player (started about half way through the Sharon event) I have to ask about ISO's. Up til now i've just been plugging mainly 3-4 stars in to activate whatever half decent set bonus I get before I use up all my gold, plugging in whatever higher ones I get given as and when. Is it worth spending the time and gold working away at combining all these to get them higher? I get plenty of the enhancement ones though Timeline and co-op (though honestly i'm about ready to give up on TL for a while, stupid Strange/Sharon/Thanos/Wasp bullshit) but it seems like to get enough six star or higher for even one char is a hell of a lot of trudging through menus.

Not worth it if you have a relatively small roster. It becomes worth it when you have a ton of characters you're trying to minmax so you can beat a Shadowlands stage with them. There will always be more isos every day so you can sell them with a clear conscience.

Little thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in game: Enchantress seems to heal for roughly half the damage her 2* does (the charm attack). No idea if it's affected by skill level, but means that she has both an innate heal and a loki shield on top of her passive charm affecting anything which is kind of insane.

Anyone else having any issues with this game hard locking their ipad or other device?

It's been happening since the Dr.Strange patch, and is really annoying. I have the graphics on low and performance on low but neither seems to have made a difference. I'm running on an ipad air 2 and it's just this game. Really annoying, usually it happens when I'm running Co-Op on repeat or Special Missions but today it's been happening on other fights as well.

Yes. This happens ever so often and I have to reinstall the app. Then it gets fixed. I can't explain it. Just make sure you have your game synced to Game Center or Facebook so you lose no data.

So it's a big issue but here's what happens. When you download the game, it's maybe 1.6gig. After a couple months or whatever time, it starts to get larger. Eventually it becomes like, 11gigs for whatever stupid reason. As it does this, it starts locking up constantly.

You literally have to redownload the game ever so often. Its stupid but it is what it is.

drat those red chests are sweet.

Finally got through Surtur, that was a heck of a tough fight, 1-shot meteors and a dot that hits through shields. Thanos practically walked through everyone up to that fight, I think I tagged during the Hela fight a few times but other wise I rode Thanos 6* like a government mule and wouldn't you know it couldn't handle the heat of Surtur's realm.

That Midgard Serpent fight was great. More fights like that Netmarbu!

NVM: Surtur is back with less room to dodge. Fantastic.

Sif's new costume is a big improvement to her. With some decent gear and a good obelisk she could definitely handle a Shadowlands relay. Her new moves have some nice iframes.

Enchantress T2 is looking mighty fine. With all these new characters I'm actually running out of Obelisks that are worth a drat.

Who is the best new character to put bios into? Is anyone worth blowing insta 6/6 tickets and then T2ing (eventually)?

None of the new guys seem to have a guard or immunity

e: Oh I guess Volstagg does, so is he the best to go with? He's physical Combat which seems weak since Blast is everywhere

I haven't read anything about it and my Hela is only 4* but the fact that she has a buff-stripper seems like a big deal.

Also she has a team-up with Angela who has a team-up with Elsa so she's clearly the best choice.

No idea really but off the top of my head it might be:

- With IF specifically, are you getting in close when you do his dragon thingy? That's his main source of damage but if you stand too far away the boss won't get hit.
- Have you re-rolled to all attack or energy attack on his weapon?
- How're your cards?
- How's his ISO / obelisk?

And I guess upgrading his skills, which people say is a waste but I tend to do anyway on characters I care about -- I've lost plenty of fights at like 1% left so every little bit helps.

Cards are garbage, ISOs are all max stars for the increased dmg 8 slot one. Obelisk has dodge and invincibility or something. I mean I do a lot of damage with Iron Fist, but that's about it. Everyone else seems to squeeze tons of damage out of every character. I don't really understand how you get good obelisks without being lucky as gently caress. Even grinding them out through special missions since forever I have basically no good ones.

I consistently score top in my Team WB plays. I've only done four to completion out of about 12 or 13, and my lowest high score was 23.7%

It's pretty safe to assume that anyone who's going to be behind the paywall is worth the price of admission. Carnage is great. Hyperion is probably my favorite character to play after Thanos, so I'm expecting big things out of Enchantress.

Got two mega-6's burning holes in my pocket from Black Friday. I can get the bio sub, use one day each on Carnage and Chantress to unlock them, then mega-6 instantly right? Seems to be the most efficient possible way to use resources. Hypeman seems cool but Carnage fills more of a roster hole.

Wonder if I should wait for Christmas. They had some pretty good deals / rewards last year. Hell, I wouldn't be totally surprised if they gave us a mega-t2 ticket.
