Who do you have relatively built up already? There's quite a few characters that can do a job in the first 10 Shadowlands floors.

The only person I have Tier 2 is Sharon Rogers in Space Girl uni but the other people I have built up and close to 6/6/420 are Magneto, Anti-Venom, Mantis, Silk (non-uni'd), She-Hulk, Gwen Poole, and Sister Grimm. I'm gonna be ticketing Magneto up to Tier 2. Robbie Reyes and Hellstorm are also both 6 but not close to 420'd. My 5*s are Quake, Mockingbird, Sif, Bullseye, Malekith, Rocket Racoon, Loki and Spider-man

Couple questions. Dimension rifts have no time limit now? Are we still relegated to a set number of people can enter them? If so what if everyone who goes in burns their 30 instant clears on a level 1 stage?

If there was ever a time to justify a F2P player buying a Mega 6* ticket, that quest was it.

Also have they put my boy in yet? If not, I'm heading out for a walk.

Butt first, let's

I find Strange better than Wolvie, but yeah, Wolvie's easier to complete since its way easier to farm his secondary characters than it is to farm Strange's (especially Clea). I got through Strange's by using tickets on a lot of his side characters but I was able to just use the Tracking Missions for Wolverine's.

Imo wolv is better because you get like 5 other dudes who are all pretty decent in their own right.

Those tracking missions are great for Bios to feed to a native T2 as well. I feel like Netmarbu is going to nerf it eventually.

Beast is the only XMen I didn't T2 because I saved bios + feathers for Jean.

The mutants are just really easy to farm compared to everyone else. I naturally T2ed Magneto and Rogue and can probably do Storm this week. Then its just a matter of how long it takes to get the 100 crystals to do Cyclops (I'm guessing about a month but I'm unclear on the changes to the Convertor and what that means for crystal procurement). And then I'l get Beast whenever. He's already at 4/20 with 150 bios to T2 but I'm not gonna bother until after I have Jean Grey and see if there are any other mutants. Although it looks like Cable, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver won't apply to them.

Sharon, Magneto, Anti-Venom, Mantis, Silk, Robbie Reyes, Loki, and Spider-man (if you get his homecoming uniform and/or T2 him) are all gonna do you a SL solid. Gwenpoole and Hellstrom will also be able to help you out a lot in SL but both of them require significant gear/obelisk/iso investment before they're gonna be soloing stages or anything.

gwen poole is quite solid, and a good long term investment cos she can easily do the late SL energy reflect stage, which is otherwise really loving annoying and will make you throw your phone out a window

almost all those dudes I listed at least have an 8 slot iso rolled onto them, even if it isnt fully maxed out yet. I think Sharon and Anti-Venom have Overdrive, Mantis and Magneto PoAH, Gwen Hawk's Eye and I know Silk has one but I forget which. IF any of those are blunders tho lemme know

I still am completely in the dark about custom gear stuff like obelisks so if I could be informed what to watch out for and for who I'd appreciate it

In general a invincibility proc is the best thing on an obelisk for most characters. 5s invincibility under 50% HP on a 10 second cooldown is the best possible.

If you are cards are bad then Ingore Defense is real nice to have, but it's a rare option. Critical Damage and HP are also nice stats that work well on most dudes.

I can't figure out the boost thing at all.

But the new processor is awesome. Being able to use tickets for Specials and Dimesnions means you can basically clear a Dimension on your own and gets way more Special entries then I was getting in 20 minutes. And the World Boss changes seem like a fun new spin on an old thing.

And you can convert norns from one type to another at 1:1 ratio which is cool. And debris into guks and back at 3:1 I think?

I was pretty excited to check out the new content, and then I looked at all of the unlock requirements.

I think rifts are basically guaranteed to finish, but getting three seems more chaotic.

edit: the second non-complete one I saw was at <50% when I spotted it, and when I finished a single run it was complete without crediting me, meaning it finished in the minute or so I was running it. I think rifts may sort of have to be ticket only in this brave new world. They're not great for XP, so that's probably not a problem.

Underreported facet of the boost change:

The max DRift EN reduction is still 14->9, for 4 boost.

Story c1-10 is still 4->3, for 6 boost. The higher chapters are what they were before, (8?->5) for the same boost cost.

If you want to grind a low story, you should probably burn your boost on something more rewarding first.

Farming X-Men bios is the same reduction/cost as story.
