I know its such a minor gripe, but I'm really annoyed with having to constantly resummon my Ice Golems and Groot. Even when it's auto, that's several seconds I'm waiting for them to cooldown and come back. Why does their attack need to cooldown before I can resummon them anyhow? Blah.

I mean, I understand the logic behind those design changes. I just wish they were more talented designers and could have come up with a more elegant method of working around their problems than "make every summon last 1 minute".

Also, I liked having Flash Freeze and Frost Nova on Iceman, and now I'm forced to choose one. Was having both really that unbalanced? It's not like switching Rockets Dash for the Drill, which have some basic overlap in utility.

Imma just go back to playing Hulk all the time. Hulk doesn't disappoint me as much. Hulk is simple. Hulk smash.

Those X-Men movies were the only good super hero movies since like Superman in the 70s, MCU was like a decade away and there was no spiderman or dark knight. Those movies basically started the super hero fad.

It had been percolating for some time thanks to Batman, the TMNT craze, and of course:

Speaking of which, I have a bunch of shards I been meaning to use, and I already have all the characters I really wanted, and I was looking at Thing as another possible fun smashy type hero. Thoughts?

I was mostly kidding. I actually have him unlocked as one of those random hero token boxes unlocked him for me a year or so ago. Played him up to about his mid-20's and got bored and forgot he was there.

Maybe they can finally give Hulk an enhance Red Hulk costume and I can pretend I'm playing someone else.

Get She-Hulk. Use this build. Launch bad guys into the air with your kickflip sig, drop a full combo point elbow on them to reduce the sig's cooldown by 5 seconds, slam them with a barbell to instantly get 5 combo points, drop another elbow to remove 5 more seconds, use other moves as filler to generate 5 more points right as Sig comes off cooldown. Repeat.

Or get Captain Marvel. Slot Mighty Punch, Radiant Cascade, Infused Uppercut, Cosmic Haymaker, Ground Shattering Smash, Crashdown Strike and Glimpse Of Binary. Choose Photonic Empowerment, Sparklefists, Starfall, Binary Fusion, and Ground Shattering Cascade talents (31221). Pump up Durability and Energy. GSS and Haymaker foes, use Uppercut to do another Haymaker, Crashdown to refill resource, weave in the others as filler.

Or try the Brutal Bot build Chernobyl Peace Prize posted earlier in the thread for Ultron.

But those are GIRLS! And girls have soft bits! Soft bits aren't good for smashing! :arghfist::sparkles:

Seriously though, I do have She-Hulk in my roster of unlocked heroes, and that looks like fun, so maybe I will give her a try.

Anybody got some good Wolverine/X-23 builds? I've been prestiging them during the event but even with all that playtime I'm having trouble pinning down a good flow for the stabby types.

Wolverine is fun. She has two builds where she can keep her signature on basically forever, either with her blades or the acrobatics stuff.

Switch to Iron Fist and pretend he's still wearing Matt's costume from the period when Matt was on trial and furiously trying to deny he was Daredevil. The radar ping's ICD is apparently an undocumented nerf rather than a bug, and since he wasn't exactly topping the charts back when you could ping on every combo max it's not great.

Wolverine I've been rolling most similarly to this, but taking Crimson Leap instead of Unstoppable Beast. Almost all the builds I've seen for him are basically this with the main alternatives taking Let's Make This Quick and/or Swath of Destruction. I don't feel like he's quite tanky enough to run around with a self-vuln, and http://marvelheroes.info/build/1360/I definitely don't think his AoE is acceptable if you can't spam Bloody Sweep, so I lean toward this talent setup, but the others are objectively stronger if you can hack it. Got him up to Cosmic 47 today like this.

X-23 I took through cosmic like so. You need the basic until 56, when you can start doing the thing BabyFur Denny was talking about, which gives her infinite spirit on top of just letting her best move spam forever (assuming you remember to push the proper cooldown at the end of boss fights before your steroid ends; you don't want to be caught with Dancing Blades on cooldown). Her bleed build is almost certainly stronger, but it's less fun than zipping all over the place slicing everything up. I mean, it's basically just Wolverine at that point, which is fine but you may as well be different.

Uh... pick something at random from mh.info? Nobody's done a ttk for him since BUE, much less an update since the animation canceling patch. Everything up currently appears to be a combo build, which may still be the best, though it's got nothing on its post-52 pre-BUE incarnation for no readily apparent reason. I think everybody was hoping the Radar Ping change was a bug that would be fixed before they bothered.

They have a version of the same event that got Marvel pissy during F4, which means Marvel is probably no longer pissy about these things.

Wait until Inhumans blows Logan out of the water at the boxoffice! Finally Marvel will have justified their major shift in focus and proven that Inhumans are way past cooler than X-men!
