Is there a character similar to D'vorah from MKX? I like to think I was pretty good with her, online and off, so she'd make an ideal starting point for me.

Blue Beetle has a projectile, stabby bug legs for attacks, a hover/fly move, and similar range. He doesn't have the bug fountain, though--that's with Atrocitus.

does it take a long time to take a character to level 20?

About 1 1/2 hours or so, or about 120 matches. So not long at all. I have 11 characters at 20 so far.

They give hardly any credits though. That said I have over 250,000 credits saved up so far for when I get all of my fighters to level 20, and then i'll spend it all on boxes.

It's pretty pointless to wait to spend your credits. You'll still get the same rarity spread of gear from low level boxes. Keep the epics, sell the rares and commons, and use the resulting regen tokens from selling them to regenerate the epics to level 20.

Meanwhile you'll be able to equip the gear you get from boxes as you level to make your dude stronger and levelling easier.

There's also a tooltip on a loading screen that's says the gear us generated when you get the box, not when you open it and specifically tells you it's pointless to save them

Dark Empire goons: Not a lot of people were doing Guild Multiverse so I sacrificed a bunch of trash to unlock much, much easier Guild Multiverse events for people to do. Importantly, easy Guild multiverse events that don't have random bullshit every round! Only had time to clear one event this evening but I'll probably go back this weekend and try to help clear more.

no super move but if you lose with a full meter, you fall off a railing into a vat and then become the Joker

How many weight/power tiers are there in this? I am polishing off the multiverse stories with Blue Beetle and have seen 2 new interactions, he rides the motorcycle in the batcave rather that bouncing off or throwing it and he did a spinny throw thing using the toilet in the prison area.

The other good news is you can just let your AI children fight for your entertainment, and not have to learn a fighting game to enjoy it

I thought about it, but I'd like to not feel like I'm randomly mashing buttons. I mean, 20+ years between fighting games is a long time, but it's fun as hell when you win. I went with Black Adam last night to do the first multiverse tutorial and it was good, although I had no idea what his moves and such were. I'm thinking I should stick with Batman for now just since he's the one in the tutorial and in the bit of story that I've done so far. Plus I'm still learning all the frame/punish/meter burn/etc stuff.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

I didn't want to believe it, I was hype for the green, but a buddy and I played a long set and we're pretty convinced that Swamp Thing is bad.

At range ducking beats everything he does. Vine grab and bio-fission (the second ST hitting you from behind) are both duckable and have a lot of recovery. Log kick does good chip, but the recovery is so bad that you can jump over it for a full punish on reaction. At closer range you can't react to it, but it's -14 on block so, yeah.

His only raw overheads are the no-range 20-frame 2 and f3. F3 has a long startup and really obvious animation, your opponent should be able to punish with b3MB or f3MB on reaction. Even if they block it, it's only +2 and Swampy is slow.

F233 (the club swing) is a great string, it's fast, long range, and hits mid-overhead-overhead, but you have no way to get any real damage out of it. F21 hits mid-low, but its quite a bit slower than the overhead option, so an opponent familiar with it can fuzzy guard it, more importantly it doesn't give you a combo and switches sides, making it harder to corner your opponent. You can cancel the first two hits into log kick for a surprise low, but again you only get the one hit of damage and its -14 on block. If you can condition your opponent to crouch with these lovely options, then you can actually get a combo off f23bf3MB, but if you're relying on the f23 overhead to open them up then you can't hitconfirm it and have to commit to spending meter on the unsafe bf3MB.

B223 (the spike shoulder) is another great string, hits mid-mid-mid, is fairly fast, can be hitconfirmed into a combo (either by canceling into bf3MB b3 or the difficult link into f2), and is +6 on block! Unfortunately it doesn't leave you close enough or have enough frame advantage to threaten the 2 overhead or command grab.

If you can corner your opponent then he actually has some real stuff with the threat of command grab and trait setups, but getting to that point is just an awful slog. Theoretically if you could set up his trait midscreen he'd have some interesting options, but the startup on it is long, it goes away if you get hit, and even if you do get it out you have to actually force your opponent into it.

I really want to like the character, a lot of his tools are fun, but I just don't know what the hell is gameplan is supposed to be.
