Got a 6* ticket. Should I burn it on Rhino or Lizard?

I went for Lizard

BUT

when its all sorted out i think they will both be equal in usefulness. not meta defining but valuable combat villains. its one of those "pick the one you like most" scenarios.

this is a good update in the sense that there are no wacky powerful must-haves but everyone is solid enough to invest in

Cyclops soloing Lucas p cage is hilarious. I hit his five and got up and got a drink and went to the bathroom. Came back refreshed to some gold and bam. A++ would 6* again. He's not even t2 either or rolled gear or ISO or oby. His five is just that good.

It better be X-Men because I don't wanna spend weeks or months at the resource caps. I kinda expected them to back down from those after all the backlash.

yeah it's pretty great. I needed literally 48 hidden path clears to finish war of kings for the T2 ticket, then I'll swap to the new quest and it'll be like 6 months before I have all the villains 6*ed anyway which should be plenty of time to get all the clears for that one. :toot:

Even once I get it he mythic costume ticket I feel is going to sit in my inventory for another 6 months before I can stand to use it. Maybe if nico gets a costume from the Hulu show, since her bios are a pain? But I'm still using the 8 a day on her when I can for no real reason.

New Spidey Homebrew costume is pretty darn good. Tier 1 420 solo'd an early relay. His 4 webs em, lets you keep attacking while half a city block drops on them, and comes off cooldown fast enough that you've only got about a second of downtime that you'll probably spend in iframes anyway.

Ironman changes are great too. I usually bring him along for the 2nd floor combat rumble for the extra damage from bringing three 6*s; Wasp does all the work while IM would fold like a wet napkin. Now he manages to stay alive the entire fight.

I used a t2 ticket on Sharon Rogers. With her and T2 Magneto I've been blowing up Asgard Civil War. How rough are the 12-6, 12-7, and 12-8 story missions?

Incredibly. I had to use a manually controlled Strange to even have a shot and that still took a few tries.

Butt first, let's

I've been trying with Strange on and off since I finished him off a month or so ago and I still haven't gotten past 1* 12-6.

I tried a time or 2 on 12-7 using variations of enchantress, strange or phoenix with a hellstorm leadership, and haven't cleared it yet

Yeah, I've tried all kinds of variations of Strange, Ancient One, Sharon Rogers, Hellstorm, Ghost Rider, Enchantress. Just can't do anything against him at 12-7 or keep all the heroes alive in 12-6.

I keep trying every once and awhile but I've sort of resigned myself to needing a couple more native T2s. I'm close to Wolverine and Magneto so maybe I'll try when they get done. Or work on Proxima once I know I won't need more BAM for Wolverine. I thought Hellstorm would be the trick but that was a big dud.

I beat my head against 12-7 for a while. What ended up doing it for me was 6* Ancient One leadership, Mordo for all the teamup bonuses, and 6* Strange with his uni and a recovery obelisk. I'd use his 5 everytime it came off cooldown, then rapidly cycle canceling between his 3 and 2 as quick as I could, then use his 4 once the cooldown timer was about to expire, and repeat.

The heal on his 2 with uni helps with any damage that squeaks through, and if any big hits land, switch to A1, run away to let the team switch timer cool down a bit, pop the healing bubble, switch back over to Strange to soak up the vita rays and keep on doing.

It's the only fight in the entire story where I couldn't just switch my brain off and mash buttons. You have to be on point the entire time, too, because Surtur will wreck your poo poo in seconds if you're not paying attention. I think my final time for the mission was somewhere north of eight minutes.

The key to an easy 12-7 is a T2 Wasp, her debuff removal passive removes the burn that is the major source of damage that kills you.

I finished SL tonight with so many good characters still in the stable. Now that I can use Spider-Man, Vulture, Iron Man, Sandman and Venom it basically adds 5 easy clears over last week.

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
I did 12-7 and 12-8 with strange and basically just mashed 2 until his 5 was off of cooldown. Takes awhile but the reflect and healing on his 2 means you are constantly healing and mitigating damage. Trying to mix in other skills just got me killed.

If you cycle between his 5 and his super long teleport move (his 4?) Strange is perma invincible, and can do basically anything.

Just tried 12-7 again and wolverine could solo the boss
I started off with strange, who got randomly one shotted, then kept running around to let wolvie heal. Got pissed and just sat still
He couldn't kill my wolverine.
So it was just grinding him out

Tried 12-8 and was wrecked. Got to tweak more
