yes thank you I am very woke

Also god, the newbie returning items are really screwing with my understanding of progression. I知 still steamrolling story missions and have yet to hit a point where I知 dying so I know what to actually grind.

Everything. Until you hit chapter 11, or possibly 12, dying shouldn't actually be a concern for any given 6/60 (and the rewards should ensure you have at least one) in any grindable content. You're likely to not have most of the characters that story bios yield though, so you grind them regardless of challenge. Also the special mission bios, which you can only grind for 20m per day without paying cash (do not do this). Grind all the things until you have a nice stable of 6* characters, then you can get down to the real business of grinding the hard things for rarer materials, which get you better characters, which lets you grind the hard things even harder. Dehumanize yourself and face to grinding.

Yeah, ive recently been reevaulating my whole use of obolisks. I was just kind of assuming whatever random damage or recovery rate or whatever useful I could find on people. Now I'm being more deliberate and trying to figure out what a character needs and focusing. So I'm ranking up an Immunity to Web Snare right now for Strange to counter the new Spider Man problem. I'll do that one you suggested for Carnage. I'm just gonna kind of be more deliberate and when there's a character u like but I identify a problem with use that to try and address it.

That's probably basic for you guys but it feels like a new stage of gameplay for me now as I get deeper into stuff like XAB and Shadowland and such.

Obos are the most important upgrade you can give a character besides ISO set, but harder because there are only 2 ISO sets that really matter (PoAH and OD).

Feel free to use the obo for now but eventually you'd want to either a) have T2 wasp in party or b) lead with Malekith or SG for the web.

Dr. Strange wants a Recover Rate + Invul obo, generally, as he does not want for damage, only survivability

I loved picking out obos for guys but end game everyone wears Crit Rate/Dmg (except for the rare guys wearing ITGB) cause our poo poo is capped.

For early game Def Pen is probably the best gear but keeping in mind eventually you'll outgrow it. Eventually

i'm pretty sure the last time i stopped playing this game is because i saw how much of a mess my obelisks were and i just didn't want to deal with trying to get even barely decent poo poo on my people. i'll push through this time but only because i'm so dead to pointless and long term grinds that sooner or later poo poo will start lining up.

Thank you, this helps. I did just realize this game is two years old, having that much content to stare down the barrel of is daunting, so knowing what to focus on is nice.

For my obscure list, I'm hoping for the unlikely-to-be-used aquatic team Deep Six: Andromeda, Tamara Rahn, Stingray, Sub-Mariner, Tiger Shark, and Triton - because I'm a weirdo who really likes the Stingray character and because MFF does things in groups of six.

Honestly I'm kinda hoping they go easy with the new characters this time around, like just 2-3. I'm still working on the X-Men, have barely gotten the S6 off the ground, still need to finish the Inhumans, and christ the Asgardians aren't even done yet. I need some time just to 6* the remains of my roster before I can start going deep on anyone else.

Hell, I don't even have the New Avengers done or the Story Mission people. Asgardians, Inhumans, Guardians, Sinister Six.

I'm resigned to never actually catching up, but that's fine with me. Keeps things interesting. Keep em coming.

A-Force is She Hulk, Sister Grimm, and Singularity, right? Yeah, them too. I'm giving them 8 bios at a time when I can.

Yessir. I'm hoping none of them ever get boosted into "must have" territory, I'd never get them T2'd at just 8 bios at a time.

And imagine how bad it'd be without getting 225 bios from SL every week? I'd only have the story mission portion of my roster 6*'d, much less T2'd.

Since I just started playing this game around 6 weeks ago, I'm already resigned to knowing I won't ever have every character at lvl 6 mastery - let alone T2 - and I'm fine with it. I'm just trying to build a roster that let's robust enough to let me do most content, and included some characters that look cool to me.

Edit: I'm glad this game has caused me to play less and less Puzzle and Dragons.

Speaking of She-Hulk, is it just me, or is she banned from the selectors now? I haven't seen her as an option every time I've done the Alliance store selectors, and I think when I've gotten any other selector short of the paid one, I haven't seen her either. Her profile still mentions unlocking her through Battleworld, but before this weekend, I felt like I hadn't seen a Battleworld since I started playing again. And all of the rewards lately are either comic cards or ISOs. So I guess what I'm really asking here is if there's a better way other than a paid bio sub or a ticket to rank her up?

I can only give her the daily 8 ones. Same as Grimm and Singularity.

Yeah, the Battleworlds have all been focused on things other than bios the last few months. It seems like they're focusing them more on the veteran players who need stuff like cards, obolisks, isos, and urus and less on the newer players who need bios.

A-Force(Sister Grimm, She-Hulk, Singularity) characters are not obtainable in normal bio selectors, only the type-specific ones and the paid monthly one. This is true of quite a few other characters these days.

Generally those (I think Gwenpoole, Birdman, Clea, I'm prob missing some) at least have mechanics for them to drop when running stages. It may be a pain in the rear end but there's a way to grind them. A-Force is one step above the paywalled characters in that they're selectable from the daily bios but that's it.

I'd say it'd be smart to come up with a way to grind A-Force since they're not players in the meta but I don't think anyone really cares at this point.
