Yeah I am just getting the Loki uni, I am so glad I didn't T2 Hela like I was going to. Also, don't know if it's just me but the other guys besides Valkyrie seem like hot garbage. :smith:

Hard to say anything about any of them without knowing how the skills work. Like, Hela's uniform could still turn her into a badass if it adds more iframes so I still have a minuscule amount of hope? But I'm liable to give all the unis here a pass. Maybe Hulk's if it makes him worthwhile since I don't have one already, but I too have floki and unworthy so :effort:

My bar for uniform purchases is tbh pretty low. I'm usually satisfied with spending the crystals if they can take someone who would be useless and turn them into someone who can at least do some work in Shadowlands.

Some of my most valued uni purchases have been ones like Anti-Venom, Sif, Baby Groot, Gwenpool, Ghost Rider, Elsa. None of them are meta but I'm more than comfortable having them take on a SL floor, where before they'd be trash.

Hoping that there are some big boosts to Hela with her skill changes.

And what makes them great isn’t the passives so much as what they do to the skill. Which means we have no way of knowing how good these uniforms are until they get released.

I am guessing they will all be must buys just based on the increased crystal cost. Netmarble is smart enough to know that if they make them good people will buy them no matter what the cost is, where a more expensive uni for someone like Hela that doesn't make her awesome is never getting bought except by whales.

yeah its pointless speculating about costumes, or even characters. you cant tell anything until someone actually plays them, barring a really OP amazing passive like valkyrie's

I hate that we were right...Loki hulk and Thor all 1050 on sale. Fuckin stupid.
Hulk and Thor add iframes so they're prob worth it. Loki changes quite a bit. Seems more fun.
Helas added iframes too.

I've been saving up for Magneto/Phoenix, and I've got like 1600 to go, but now these costumes are up and I feel like I could turn 4 pretty trash characters in the current meta to 4 really good ones instead of getting one pretty good one, and then grinding forever to get the best character in the game. I really wish the skill preview showed damage numbers and stuff so you could actually compare improvement between the costumes. I think I'm just going to not give a poo poo and buy all of these because I haven't tier 2'd any of the X-Men anyways.

Has anyone pulled the triggers on the costumes yet and can comment about how improved Hela and Thor are? The other two look like massive improvements, but those two seem kind of hard to tell.

Thor gets some solid iframes, no idea if it will do anything for him in pvp but I think he'll dominate in SL now. Hela is the only one I have not tried out yet, her invincibility seems really short and not sure if the iframes will do enough.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Wow. Those only show up in Hidden Ticket stages, right? I have 130 Hidden Tickets that I've just been stashing until the next quests but I'm wondering if its worth using them to fish for those things. Then again assuming they don't go away they'll still be there whenever this is a new Quest Pack.

I really want the Thor costume but don't have near enough crystals. I'm very tempted to spend again, especially since I want Valkyrie too, but I told myself I wouldn't spend again until there were a couple of the pay characters i could grab with one purchase. So Valkyrie will have to wait until awhile or until my resolve breaks.

Anyone done the new mode yet? I don't have Thor's costume and I can't quite figure out if I can't play without it or if I do I'm just wasting time because I can't collect the prize or what.

From what Reddit is saying they really only show up in the gear chest from the store. People were spending 40+ tickets with zero, one person did 80. You can also get one from the new mode if you have whatever uni it is at a high enough rank.

The new mode is fun but it's pretty easy. It's another daily checklist thing to do. If you do it without the uniform you can do it later if you decide to pick it up and get the first clear rewards.

No reason not to do it every day since it doesn't cost energy. I think of it as like, Villain Siege.

I don't have Loki's uniform yet, but I'll say this much:

I think Hulk's is the best of the lot in terms of how drastic of an improvement it is. It's an 8/10.

Thor is a close second and gives what I figure is the same degree of boost to survivability via the skill change iframes. Straight upgrade over Unworthy. Like a 7.5 out of 10.

Hela is a lot better with the uniform. I'd say she's on par with like, a no costume Baron Mordo? Which is good, not mind-blowing, but way better than before. 6/10.

If you're committing to either Thor or Hulk I'd say they're a buy, but the uniforms themselves won't turn them into stars like Anti-Venom or Elsa. You still need to go for T2 and gear them up well.

None of the new uniforms are must haves imo. Getting Magneto and Jean will open up a lot more doors than these uniforms will.

and just think, to get that you just need Thor's new costume at mythic (it's a bonus reward from the cinematic battle)

Do we know if mega uni tickets are usable on these? What're the material requirements? I'm waffling between getting a couple unis and saving for black friday.

E: oh man if cinematic battle plays this mid-fight unskippable cutscene every time then I might never play it.
E2: phew, it's only unskippable the first time.

If you did everything you have exactly enough for all the rewards. Those would be the priorities if you didn't though.

Also, I just noticed that you can drop 2.5K crystals to get Valk at 6* instantly in the cinematic quest. That's... tempting. But she's mostly good for her passive which is T2 and to get that I'd still need to get a bio sub to gear her up. hm.

This is the one you get for doing the Loki cinematic with a mythic uni.

Bluh. I'm likely going to get Thor and Loki's just for these. The other uni benefits are nearly as good; you'll get a piece of probaby-amazing special gear but that'll still only benefit one character...

Looks like Jean gets stuck on the event missions and if you're not watching the game won't do any damage to the boss so I'd avoid her. Happened to me on the two latter difficulties so I don't think it was a fluke.

how do you even get uniforms that high? The rate of exp gain on them seems so low, seems like it would take forever.

It takes forever. :shrug:

Thanos is a special case because he's native T2 and needs more XP in general but I have taken him on nearly every mission since his uni came out and he is currently about 50% through legendary.

There's a mega uni ticket from the sinister 6 special mission and you get 2-6 tix once from clearing the end of Shadowlands. I assume those don't need XP? But I haven't used one.
