So I am at a bit of a cross roads and I'm not sure which direction to go.

Do I spend my WB mats on native T2 dudes or! Do I use them to T2 dudes that I have ready?

I know that the Native T2 dudes are a huge money sink but I would assume they are worth it in the end.

I'd save the mats for native T2s and just use the monthly T2 tickets for the rest.

I guess my line of thinking is that since I can only clear to about stage 10 of the SL T2ing 2-3 dudes a month would really speed that up.

The normal Black Order characters will help you progress way faster than Dormammu. Getting Proxima and Corvus will be more helpful, Dormy costs the same as the 2 of them combined.

For your question though, a native T2 is most likely better than T2ing a character you have ready. But it depends so much on which character you plan on advancing.

If you're thinking of SL primarily, a native T2 is a straight up EZ floor clear. If you T2 2 bad characters with the same resources, you might come out short.

Real question is what dudes are you thinking of T2ing naturally in lieu of the native options.

I've already got Ant-Man, ShaRog, Loki, Moon Knight, Rocket, Silk, Songbird, and Spider-Man (Parker) at T2. Still can't do SL. I think I'm terrible at this game. :v:

I have Strange at 5 star, 4 mastery, 5/5/5/5. It's hard to get him higher since I'm still working on the Rank 6 BAM.

Wolverine is 2 x (?), 1 mastery.

Proxima is 3 star, 3 mastery, 13/13/13/13. I need 4 Rank 4 to get her to 4 star.

For me right now I've got the following dudes at 420,

Black Widow
SIF
Coulson
Gwen (gonna ticket her)
Red Hulk
Elsa
Iron Fist
Sharon
Medusa
Black Bolt

So those would be ones that are ready now with a few more on the way. I know that a few of them are perfectly fine at T1 but I really loving suck at playing them I guess because I can't do poo poo with them (I'm looking at you Hobo Fist).

I feel like I could T2 all of those dudes in the time it takes me to finish one of the native T2's.

These, and to a lesser extent Black Bolt, are all good T2 SL floor clear ppls\

Order of quality in SL I'd probably say Elsa, Red Hulk, Iron Fist, Gwen, BB

FWIW Iron Fist in particular is massively improved by T2. Not being able to do much with him at T1 is pretty normal. Arranging these in order of goodness in shadowlands IMO

Elsa - With her uniform she might still be the best speed T2 overall.
Gwen (gonna ticket her) - Excellent. Ton of iframes and a good heal for topping up between them that gets better with her uni. I usually use her on a hulk energy damage reflect relay.
Iron Fist - Can have some survivability issues but is otherwise totally solid. Give him an invincible obo. I usually use him on an IF boss using bullseye to lead for dodge ignore.
SIF - An excellent choice for a female combat hero. Only actually good with her uniform. Maaaay be worth waiting for Ragnarok for another uni? But she's not in it afaik. Slight edge in SL because of the lady relay stages later on.
Red Hulk - Great. Top tier combat T2. Damage can be a little meh in my experience but he's tank as heck and his leadership is good for a bunch of people.
Sharon - Uh, yeah. People say you don't NEED to T2 her but... she's really good. Only this low on the list because you can probably solo poo poo in SL with her at T1.
Black Bolt - Preeeetty good? I went for him over Medusa and he gets the job done but he's not completely incredibly imo. I have the tuxedo uniform. Still die sometimes when using him on the Falcon / Winter Soldier relays but with backup to swap to occasionally he can do it no prob.
Black Widow - Decent to solid at T2. Better choices for female speed heroes out there but she's wicked easy to farm.
Coulson - Poop himself, but will help give big numbers on ABX and is sort of required for WBU. Basically useless in SL because he's blast, one summon is speed, and the other is combat.

Medusa - Don't have her T2 so I dunno if it's a big improvement. I can solo a universal relay with her at T1 pretty easily though.

This is perfect thanks! I just T2d Gwen with a ticket and I'll do Elsa in a day or so (I do have her uniform).

Nice. T2 Gwenpool is one of my go-to speeds now if you have the uniform. She's seriously Wolverine-lite and one of the only truly survivable speeds besides Elsa.

Plus it's Gwenpool.

Ok, my other sad, bizarre hope is that Alpha Flight is added to the game at some point. So if I'm going to take six team members, I'd go with: Guardian, Sasquatch, Shaman, Snowbird, Marrina, and Puck.

Northstar and Aurora have the same powers (and they bore me) so forget those muties.

In line with other people's posts, I need some advice on choosing my first ever T2's :

I have two T2 Tickets, and 10 possible choices that are almost ready to use them on. Which two should I choose, fellow goons?

Baron Mordo
Black Bolt
Black Panther
Captain America
Sharon Rogers
Hulkbuster
Iron Fist
Magneto
Singularity
White Tiger

I was thinking Captain America and Iron Fist, but I'm imagining some would say forget Cap and T2 Sharog instead.

Most value-wise I think IF and Black Bolt but you also want unis for both of them. Sharon is amazing but if these are your first T2's you might get better bang for your buck elsewhere. Don't T2 Cap unless you are doing it for personal reasons. Magneto is next on list probably.

I have the Hobo Fist costume, and everyone (including myself) is pushing for him, so he's a done deal.

I'm still waffling on the 2nd one. Thanks everyone.

It depends on what your goals are. If you are looking to beat more Shadowland floors, T1 Rodgers can do that, so you can hold off and use it on someone like Black Bolt that you can bolster up to solo a SL floor on his own.

Just a heads up for the dudes in marble hebrons, we hit alliance store level 9! Now you can buy cnorns with your alliance tokens! This is cool because if you were like me and were being stuck on the wolverine/jean 1000 mkraan stage you can covert th cnorn to mkraans in the converter in the lab! You can also do the black antimatter to Phoenix feathers too! This is a really good way to get a little extra everyday and before you know it you'll cut off a ton of time for a couple of the best charCters in the game!!!

Also I got 2 orange chests from wbi today so I am super excited for my incoming 2000 universal Norns or whatever!

Which reminds me, I've seen a couple of people talk about needing regular norn stones for the dr strange quest, you can also convert norn stones to a different kind every day! The converter is sort of forgotten as a thing in the lab it it can help you get that little more every day for basically free.

Speaking of chaos norns, I'm on that section of both epic quests and I'm not sure which one I should finish first. I only have 5 characters at rank 6 right now, so I'm not getting them very quickly. The Wolverine quest doesn't require as many, but Strange seems more useful.

Wolverine is great and imo I would finish his quest first simply because it's gated behind less bullshit. I feel like you'll end up with him much faster and have the other 5 xmens to play with.

Strange better, Wolvie faster. Wolvie would help you in WBR so he'd probably be the quicker help to get you to Strange.

And yeah, if you do Wolvie you can easily keep going with Beast, Rogue, Cyclops, and Storm to double your 6* roster.

I don't know the Spider Verse story but I don't see 2099 in there and that's one of the few alternate Spider Mans I know. I'd be cool with him but I'd love to see Jessica Drew. And sorta Julia Carpenter. Or Scarlet Spider? I guess I know a decent number of Spider alts.

MALIGNANTLY USELESS
This update is starting to sound like it's going to be pretty massive. There's whatever is going on with Titania/Thor, potentially Apocalypse, the SL update, and now a Spiderverse character? I'm trying not to get too hype, but if we're not just getting the Wrecking Crew and they follow through with Apocalypse, I will definitely be renewing my sub because gently caress yeah.

I know it's insanely unlikely, but I keep hoping since they finally got on the X-Men train, that the Apocalypse update will include Cable and Deadpool (even though I know he doesn't have much to do with Apocalypse, but c'mon!). I haven't gotten around to reading Spiderverse or Venomverse, but I'm going to add hoping for a Ghost Rider/Venom symbiote costume. Venompool would be fun too, but I think that's way too much of a deep-cut, and CoC already beat them to that one. Basically what I'm saying is that I love Venom, so I want them to give him another new costume that can wreck this new rear end in a top hat Homecoming Spiderman costume that I don't have yet, because the Timeline Battle meta sucks pretty hard right now.

What are even the relevant events going on in the MCU and comic land? Thor: Ragnarok is coming down the pipe, The Inhumans, and The Gifted (dunno if that would count). I'm not really current with the comics, but I guess Venomverse and Secret Empire are the major things right now, right?

EDIT: Oh god, it's going to be Spiderpig isn't it?
