if you select "manage supplies" from the WBI screen it will take you to that screen and it will have a time on it.

I'm currently trying to get White Tiger and Iron Fist up to 6* because I figure why not. Also still working on this Sharon Rogers T2 but not having tons of luck with my upgrades.

I'm pretty sure we followed the exact order for the New Avengers, neat.

10% left until alliance level 24, the wait is killing me.

I chose my teams poorly and now I've got Loki down to 0% at 4000 health but nobody strong enough to do more than 1 damage a hit to him and he one shots everything. Tomorrow I will leave Kamala out of my initial team. I learned a lesson today.

Here's a tip: If you exit out instead of picking another character right away it'll round down to the next %. So you can say go in, do 1 damage with a low level character, and then exit out and get 1% taken off the boss. With enough fodder you can weaken him a lot for your strong characters.

Yeah his problem wasn't the chipping part it was not having a 60 finish the job. By the way the 'rounds down" only applies until somewhere between 0 ad 1% then you'll actually see things tick back up. Like you can't do 1 damage and re-enter and just have Loki fall over dead.

She's pretty quick and Radiant Form just makes her quicker, energy damage makes her stronger, they just added a 5 second invulnerability on her Binary Explosion move, and with enough SCD and her T2 she can keep her immunity to damage indefinitely.
Her Ms. Marvel costume keeps Radiant Form up longer and adds a extra gap-closing hit on Backflip Blast; you will never get the Carol Corps costume because it was a limited-time mega-whale bait offer. In any case, her costume is a nice bonus but isn't a game-changer like some others so there's no need to rush for it.

She's a good candidate for a T2 ticket because she's a slow farm (Honor Tokens, and daily Universal selectors are already rare enough before considering that's the only way to normally freely raise Singularity), but in any case her T2 is worth a higher priority.
Since she won't be losing too much life in most circumstances, a damage ISO set like Overdrive or Power of Angry Hulk is probably preferred.

Oh, I just realized why they added WBI: It's probably for the monsters unleashed event Marvel has going on. They'll probably add a new "wave" in January with Fin Fang Foom, OG Groot, ect. Maybe they'll make them as actual World bosses too.

With the addition of Urus I think once I'm done 6*ing Thanos I might need to start pushing Strange/Prox to 20/20/20/20 gear. Odin looks fun, but finishing gear and adding Urus to Strange will make autobattling the new missions/future content easier.

I cringe at what I imagine 19-20 will cost in BAM.

Well she's far from the worst T2, especially with her new costume.

Cinara
Jul 15, 2007
All 3 of the new costumes are pretty huge upgrades and it has nothing to do with the passive bonuses. Silk's for example removes almost all of the windup time on her 5* attack, making her far less vulnerable during it. Thor's is very similar in speeding up his attacks and allowing him to be more aggressive.

Plus that new Thor looks very very badass. Definitely one of my Top 5 aesthetically in game.

Sif's uniform gives her 2s of invulnerability when using her 3 skill too. Not enough to stay immune most of the time like Sharon but enough that her 3 isn't suicide to use.

I'm actually back to a place where BAM is more limiting than gold. It won't last, but for the last few weeks a full roster of Team Up auto play plus the gold from WBI/other sources has kept me solidly in the 10-20mil range until I can do another rank 6 anti-matter for Thanos, then it builds back up decently quickly.

Legit good choice, GR can do 2/3 of a SL relay solo, which makes him a top tier T1, and at T2 he's still only doing 2/3 of a relay.

So I hit shield level 70 today and wanted to share some of the info on uru amplification that is unlocked. If you want to confirm im level 70, IGN: Ashy Larry (Synergy alliance) Imgur doesn't seem to want to upload the screen shot for me.
First off you need 5 uru equipped on a single gear to start amplification.

- Each roll is 30,000 gold
- Each roll gives a chance at every spot being amplified or not.
- A previously amplified spot can become un-amplified or stay amplified but it's completely random.

- The slot becomes amplified not the uru, so you can replace the uru with a new one and it will still be amplified.
- You can also enhance uru in amplified slots and it will remain amplified.
- Just like iso sets, lower number of slots amplified have a waayyy higher chance than 4-5 slots.
- I've only tried about 200 times and gotten 4 slots about 5 times and not a single 5 slot roll so far.
- There is no pattern to which slots become amplified next roll to the best of my knowledge.

Also going to take a lot of data to see if having higher level uru increase the chance at 5 slots becoming amplified. I'm working on that now.

Emphasis mine on the things that really made me :lol: this poo poo is worse than the endless 6* card reroll cycle.

I just power through Thor and Ronan as fast as possible and then spam the getaway car skill because that's physical damage and use autoattacks, which are also physical. I can take him down before the clock runs out.
