Finding that Ancient One is loving incredible on a team

One on one she might not be the best for a fight (she's great for a ton of fights anyway though) but pulling her out and dropping a heal and throwing some shade, then popping back to say Sharon is great

Finished Thanos with zero buffs because I goofed a punch but also 100% health

She's really good, but I was super disappointed to hear her 25% damage buff passive as a T2 only applies to elemental damage for some weird reason. So Strange or Sharon wouldn't benefit, the only character compatible with her leadership and T2 buff is Lincoln Campbell. :doh:

There's a huge shitstorm on Reddit over it. One Netmarbu rep says it's working as intended, while someone in their customer service department said it's bugged, so nobody knows what the gently caress to make of it.

Edit: Hulkbuster users are scum.

After maxing out on WBI yesterday I don't think I'll do that again. The rewards aren't particularly good and the big Mythical/Legendary chests you see getting posted are huge outliers. I'll do a half dozen runs a day probably but I regret buying a 4th chest slot for 1k crystals.

Trying to do Surtur's special goal with pubbies is the absolute worst. The only hope you have is that you get 2 bad pubbies who can't kill the boss on their own so you can control the fight until you use the co-op skill 3 times.

Having to use coop skill 3 times is proving impossible. Also it's ironic it tells you the "best" player is the one who does the most damage when the other 2 guys are trying to slow down to get another coop in

The worst is having someone not connect and their character just auto-plays in fire the whole time.

I'm at 1021 points for Timeline Battles. For some reason it will only pair me against people who are 2000+.

Edit: Twice now I've been insta-killed by Surtur as soon as the round starts. Then we won. I don't know.

Wouldn't the other folks who do almost pure electric, cold, or fire work too? Like Misty, the Thors and Car Rider?

Also I haven't seen hulkbuster in wb yet but keep in mind the team up effects are from a randomly selected pool, one of which looks like the HB containment thing. Though HB doesn't have a t2 yet, right? So it'd be garbo just like other folks lacking a t2 since this is a mode geared around t2s.

^^^ Ancient One's leadership only works on Blast characters is what he was saying, and Lincoln is the only Blast character with pure elemental skills.

Looks like you can only put 2 of the same Uru on each gear. So I guess most characters will be 8 Energy/Physical Attack Urus, 8 HP Urus, 4 whatever.

EDIT: If you REALLY don't need HP at all you can go with 8 Defense Penetration I guess.

They haven't changed caps at all to account for uru that we know of, right? Defense pen is good but it's not that hard to hit the cap already. I feel like if they don't fiddle with the numbers we're going to have people capped on every stat possible pretty soon.

I've played this game for 3 days. Pubbies are the worst. I don't know poo poo about this game, but I know to press the god drat team-up button in WBI. Did manage to down the last two bosses though and finish 2nd in damage. Yay Hyperion?

Hitting the team-up button is like 90% of the fights.

Surtur fight is the worst possible poo poo ever, not only is it the stupid 50% - 50% bullshit, but also he has a one shot move.
I am working so hard to get to 100% in our favor while some shmuck decides to stand in his ultimate move and drop it down below 50% gently caress it, I only managed to do it 4 times (strange, proxy and some other 2) and every time I got a basic chest.

Worst fight ever

There's my orange chest. Bit disappointing. More norns are always welcome I guess. Was hoping for some useful bios.

So I'm also going to be able to finish off Proxima tomorrow hopefully. Then the long trek for Thanos or Odin, so which one do you think is better to go with first?

AzraelNewtype

It's better to go with neither of those and instead focus on Corvus, Supergiant, or The Ebony Maw, as they all nearly as good and you can have two of them for the cost of one of that pair.

God these pubbies are stupid. I just had to run two characters into the boss without attacking in WBI to prevent some rear end in a top hat from hitting 100% before we got the third Team Up in.

Holy poo poo upgrading Urus is loving bullshit. The failure rate for 4->5 and 5->6 has gotta be over 50%. At least you don't lose the base Uru, just the upgrade materials.

I don't even know how you guys are clearing WBI today. Everyone I team up with just auto-attacks or runs characters that do garbage damage like Groot. They're too dumb to do anything but stand Surtur's flames which constantly moves the % in the wrong direction and they STILL CAN'T loving HIT THE CO-OP BUTTON.

Yeah same, I got one good team so far where people actually dodged flames and hit coop, unsurprisingly even the damage was split in like 40 30 30.

Just kept force quitting til I got exactly one person with a pulse and one moron, so the fight was winnable but took long enough to get 3 co-ops in. Brilliant design.

Just won a WBI in under 5 seconds. Another Dr.Strange did 88% of the damage, I did like 5% because Captain Marvel was hit by a meteor and instantly died.


...and I got my first RED chest

Maybe all these pubbies just realized the real strat is to lose horribly so the game rewards you with the best chests.
