Where we're going, we won't need eyes to Select Warp.
So, with what information has come to light, I think what I told Ramadu shortly after the first AoA patch hit is most likely what's going to happen:

The patch was split in order to change the timing of future patches. This is likely because Marbu knows what backlash would happen if the AoA were a full patch in early September, and then the next patch was late October because

The next patch will be Thor Ragnarok. I was fairly certain a full on ABC Inhumans patch wasn't going to happen, and Marbu/Marvel tend to want movie related stuff to happen as close to movie release as possible. This will be a late October release as most Marvel movies come out a week earlier outside the U.S. (Nov 3rd in the U.S. in this case.)

And then who knows what will happen late November/December. I just thought this was relevant with the info that Inumans may have already been cancelled. And to be fair, that may be why they decided to split the AoA patch in the first place, because Marvel told all the games to kill any ABC Inhumans updates. But who knows?

I finally beat the new Shadowlands! What a fucken drag. Won't be going past 20 or 21 in the future (which ever gives the pair of 6* enhance ISO's) They really kind of blow at giving end game rewards for really tough end game content.

Butt first, let's

T2ed Cyclops and got Jean Grey today! Think I'm going to need her to get Cable. I got the 30 second mission with Wolverine but can't come close to the 15.

Unfortunately my phone has gone to poo poo quite suddenly so I'm just trying to use tickets to keep my daily stuff going until I get my new phone on Wednesday.

I've it 16 seconds with Magneto/Jean/Cyclops twice. I *think* I need to fiddle with my strikers a little more, but I have one more try tomorrow before I need to start grinding Uru.

Once I get Jean up to 6* I'll toss her on my Striker team and maybe on my Wolverine/Beast team and see what it does. I just hear great things and she demolishes in Timeline so I assume she's my best bet at pulling it off even with the Speed/Blast issue.

I've been tinkering with my strikers and I'm not quite sure what's working. I tried stacking dodge people like Widow and Kate Bishop. I tried stacking attack boost like Cap and Ancient One. I should probably just try an all attack team like Strange, Sharon Rogers, Proxima, Magneto, and then Widow for Dodge. Each day I just try something new with that Beast/Wolverine team (usually Storm as the 3rd for the bonuses) and I always end up soemwhere between 45 seconds and a best of like 20. Maybe I'll get lucky one day and pull off 15 with right combo but with my phone busted right now I'm kind of rushing through them and not really sitting down and thinking.

Right now I'm more concerned with the shitload of ISO combines I need to do.

Also -- When would the next patch land with Apoc if we assume it's the next small patch?

I'm not worried about any of the Iso challenges since I basically need to combine a bunch every few days just to keep my inventory from getting full. But I'm still filling my Level 60s with Isos and just working my T2s to 5* so I have a ton of use for them.

Small update, though to be fair this is pretty much just the rest of 3.4.0.

CM Jocasta posted:

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The time has come to face the most dangerous of foes. The one who goes by many names, The Eternal One, The Savior, The First Mutant, En Sabah Nuhr. Many names have been given, but only one of them truly captures his presence. Apocalypse. It is time to face off against one of Earths greatest threats and save the world one more time.

1. New World Boss Stage Added
Take on Apocalypse in his all new World Boss Stage. Once the mode has been unlocked, you are free to challenge the greatest threat to mankind. Are you made of the right stuff to take him down?

※ Apocalypse is available only by completing his World Boss Stage
※ Apocalypse follows the leveling up method of Jean Grey.

- As Apocalypse has been added, new achievements and team up bonuses have been added.

※ Stats are based on Skill Level 1.

2. 2 New Uniforms

New uniforms for Wolverine and Rogue have been added.

※ New Uniforms are available at discounted price for a certain period.
※ Check out new Uniforms in Uniform Room to see the details.
※ New Uniforms do not change the characters typing or their type.

※ Stats are based on Skill Level 1.

「ブレストバーン!!」
The people in the comments for that update who think that's a bad uni for Wolverine must never have faced a Wolverine with a 50% invuln obo and some recovery rate increases. 10% Defense (standard) and 15% Damage Reduction is just going to make it even harder to burst past the invuln trigger safely.

May god have mercy on us all, any week where Wolverine isn't banned. And even then, Alliance Conquest is going to be about how many members can spread their Wolverines around the map fastest.

I've been consistently been beating quicksilver with 3 dodge ignore strikers and 2 of Strange, Dormammu and Odin. Mags, Wolvie, storm is my fastest at 9 seconds and A1, Strange, Coulson usually does it in 14.

I wasn't able to beat him in 15 with 2 dodge ignore strikers.

I get sub-10 with all dodge ignore (probably overkill but I can't be arsed) hobo thanos, proxima, and SuGi. Hit the co-op button, he unleashes his 2* continuous damage skill and 8 secs later I win.

I get how all you Thanos, Odin, and Dormammu owners can beat him in that time. But the only native T2s I have ranked up are Strange, Wolverine, and Proxima and I can't seem to make a combo with them work much better than 30 seconds (and I only got them under 30 a couple of times). So I'm figuring I need Jean or one of the others. Jean seems easiest since she uses the mutant stuff so that's where I'm at. Feathers shouldn't take too long and I'm collecting the mutant bios to throw at her. So its a plan.

It's a solid bit RNG, along with good urus/cards plus using the best team ups you can. War Wolf adds a ton of damage for a short period, so him + a strong leadership or Daisy with Wolvie or Prox has a good shot. Make sure you're using the right strikers also, 10% damage to super-villains does nothing. You need a run of it where you catch him outside of iframes and he doesn't jump into the next phase right away.

Ok, I've got a dumb question... I'm trying to rank up my first BO character (Ebony Maw) for the first time (lvl 1 to 2). I understand I need 6 rank-2 BAM, but how do I do this mechanically? Do I have to level him up to 40 before I a "rank-up" button appears?

This s the opposite of how it works for other characters in the game, btw, where you get the rank first then can raise the levels afterwards.)

Wolverine can do it. I've got him with Power of Angry Hulk, 17/16/16/17 gears. I used Beast lead and Storm, 2 ignore dodge strikers and 3 physical damage. Start off with 5 skill with Beast and then Wolverine cut him up in 14 seconds.

wolverine was a consistent 30 second kill for me and then i got a 12. you just gotta get all your crits to line up or whatever. this was without a damage proc, so if you have one of those on your obelisk, he can definitely do it.

edit: or use a non-native t2, like sharon or kaecilius or iron fist. i bet shulk/warwolf/ironfist can walk it

I thought it was pretty easy. I used Uniformed Thanos as leader with Proxima and Corvus, with Jean, Strange, Odin, Dormammu, and Kate Bishop as my strikers. All I had to do was press Thanos's 5 skill, then press his teamup when that was done. 8 seconds.

yeah you have to cap out their level before you can rank them up, so feed him some bios, 'level up' will change to 'rank up' and then you click it and hit material fusion and grind rank 1 BAMs into rank 2s.

Just got into this. They gave me two free 6 star characters and a whole heap of other goodies, so now it seems like i'm way overpowered for the early game and it's all a bit too easy? Is there any strategy to the game? Everything is over so fast, and the powers recharge so quickly, doesn't seem to need much in the way of planning your moves, like I could auto the whole game. I've played less than a day and I already have Iron Man 6 starred with max mastery at lvl 60.

Maybe i'm just used to the horrible grind from Contest of Champions.

Apoc requirements



Will take a month to unlock minimum unless you spend crystals, and it's 1500 crystals for EACH step. With 3 steps being 30 days each you're looking at 4500 crystals to cut it down to 15 days. Don't see myself rushing him at all, I was leaning towards skipping Scarlet Witch and unlocking him early, but I'll have plenty of time to 6* her over the next month.

I was thinking of paying 450 to unlock Scarlet Witch today, but I'm at 5/15 on the beat Cable with Quicksilver thing. Now that it's clear this won't be critical path, I'll just keep hoarding gold and mats and bios so that in 10 days I can unlock her anyway. 10 days is also when I'll be able to 6 star Cable so it's all slotting together nicely and I'll probably still be able to unlock Apocalypse exactly 30 days after the patch drops.

e: I just spent 40 hidden tickets in the past two days for no reason because I'm not using them for quest packs though. rip.
