You don't slow grind characters unless they're low priority or have nothing better to do; I think there's a lot of shortcuts to boost good characters especially for a new player. Then those characters give you access to more shortcuts/top tier characters like clearing a few Shadowlands stages or world bosses or whatever

Also the daily login bonuses just by themselves can be a big boost

Ive been trying to get them from the story mode missions and calling it a slog is an understatement. good to hear they give you more later on in the game.

I have one maxed character from the heroes journey (sharon rodgers) so that helps

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

As a new player I seem to get a new char ready for T2 about the time I get the 30 day login reward T2 ticket (assuming thats what those have been from). Sharon, Elsa and Iron Fist in that order gave me a decent crew to do the bosses with, and I just got Dr. Strange to 6/6 today. Now I just need a 5th who can brainlessly solo a world boss and I'm set. Magneto seems to be the best of the crew I've got so far though I'm also eyeballing Carnage and waiting just in case Hela gets a kickin costume next month since I like her.

Hey, I’ve been playing for a little bit and I’ve got a question about the level 50-60 grind: is there a quicker way to do this? The last time I just ground it out on story missions and helped it along with XP chips and it nearly killed me. Am I missing something or is it supposed to be this slow?

The highest level special missions you can do with your best character (Sharon) on autopilot and 2 carries with the xp buff from the alliance store active, while force feeding all the level 5 candy you get to the main person you want to level. That's how I do it anyway though I've had to skip the xp buff for the last week while throwing my gold at research.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

These days I just collect experience chips from Daily Missions and the Lab and I always have 200-500 Lvl5 chips so I can always just level them up as soon as they get a star. Before I started that I'd just stick them next to Sharon Rogers and do all the Specials and SHIELD story missions for Max experience. Always did them in hot hours too but I guess now it's just a matter of boost pts. Just remember to run the stages and not just clear. With 20 Special Missions a day it shouldn't be too hard if you can do the top stage.

Yeah, I'm pretty noob, but I just stick whomever I want to level with Magneto because he tends to blow up more boxes along the way. I do special missions, daily missions, and epic missions without clear tickets in order to level up people, and throw whatever experience chips I have at them. They level within a few days.

You can add people if you have space, but can't remove people while it's going on. Usually try to open a couple spaces in Doctor Goons before each battle starts.

The first two areas next to your starting area are good to attack as a newer player, unless you're getting completely steamrolled they are almost never attacked by other alliances.

Does anyone know, apart from Daily mission, where I can get chaos ISOs?

I'm fuckin so desperate for them. The only place I can think to get them is the Alliance Shop, but there I buy clear/card and besides doesn't it only reward like 1 or summat?

EDIT: doh, isos not norn

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

You don't get chaos norns from dailies that I know of so I'm a little confused but pretty sure it's: world boss, world boss ultimate, Shadowlands upper stages, high level converter in the lab (you have to feed it m'krans I think?) then just the occasional extra reward from boost points mega rarely? Alliance shop gets you 20 a day but the shop needs to be level 9. I think that's it?

You have a chance to get Chaos from Daily, there is no Chaos day but it's one of the more reliable ways of getting them in-game; especially now that the stats are fixed so you actually want a bunch and not just say... one 6* like you get from SL.

drat, so it looks like I was only missing Lab... I'll take a look at that, thanks

Okay so I got like 600 biometrics selectors, born stones, exp chips, etc. I have a maxed Sharon Rogers and Moon King now.

I thought Agent Venom was in this now? I kind of get not letting me have a free X-Mens, but during none of the whole HOLY poo poo WELCOME BACK HAVE A TON OF STUFF was Agent Venom a choice.

Also, does Robbie make Blaze obsolete?

Agent Venom is one of the bio-sub only people. You need to pay :10bux: and unlock him 20 bios at a time. Others include Hyperion, Spiderman 2020, Ironheart, Kid Kaiju and Enchantress. Actually ideally you want to unlock one with one day of 20 bios then use a mega-6 to get them right to 6 starts if you're being real efficient but there's no way around the ten-buck barrier that I know of (aside from new-player rewards, you get three days worth of the sub when you first start but that's it.)

Robbie's better than regular GR but regular one you can actually farm from story missions.

oh I think you meant to say chaos ISO's not chaos norns.

I dunno that there's a specific way to get chaos iso's. Hellstrom Dark dimension in the Strange questline giving a random chance is all I can think of.

The 6-star booster doesn't seem to work on the premium characters, I just got mine today and looks like I can't upgrade Gwenpool with it, so much for that plan. :(

EDIT: n/m I might be doing it wrong.

There's also a difference between a ticket and a mega ticket. One goes from 5 to 6 while the other can go from 1 to 6.

I still haven't found much use for OG Ghost Rider even with him at 4/20 and with the trenchcoat. I mean, I team him with Thor to take down those Thor/GR Shadowland relays but even that's a fight that takes a 3rd player and sometimes a couple of tries.

T2 Robbie's kind of unkillable if I time his skills right but there's a real damage problem. If I'm not using him on a Shadowland floor with a flame bonus he sometimes just spends the entire time doing no damage at all and just timing out.
