I leave my Gold timeline battles on automatic with Dr. Strange, Sharon and Wolverine. I think adding Wolverine was a mistake, or I should have given him the immunity to webbing that I gave Dr Strange. So many games down to the timer where they just cant beat Wolvie through his healing and yet he cant get any hits in on Spiderman or Quicksilver. Watching one time out now where girders, taxis and whirlwinds are everywhere from a constantly untargetable Quicksilver who is at 2/3 life while Wolverine just stands there and takes it staying around full life. I think my phone is going to overheat. Huh with 30 seconds to go Quicksilver got gibbed out of nowhere, then the enemy Sharon popped out and put Wolverine out of his misery in 2 swings.

Holyshoot posted:why warwolf at t2? also in regards to t2 just put your best team up then auto run it imo. I do that and usually get 140 crystals or so. Someone mentioned "T2 War Wolf". I'm mainly just working on him because i have all those honor tokens and I have to do something with them. He's just on the long list of stuff in my head to how I might be able to improve my poo poo when I have the patience to try again. I got really into Timeline with a Jean/Spider-Man/Wolverine team the last few weeks. This week Jean and Sharon Rogers both got restricted so I'm still really into it but now am playing with a Wolverine/Strange/Spidey combo that has been making me angry, especially since I'm now in Vibranium so it seems impossible to avoid Quicksilver as I was in Platinum and Gold. When I get Quicksilver's skills and gear up I'll probably replace Spidey with him. I actually enjoy Timeline and actually playing something, but yeah, now that my week is a wash I'm just going to autorun Wolverine but then my phone just sits there for an hour while Quicksilver makes Wolverine stand and wait for the clock to run out. My phone is going to explode.

T2 Warwolf buffs your whole team for crit damage and rate. Coulson's a better buff, but it only works against super villains so it doesn't do diddly with QS. Mantis T2 gives defpen and a bit of crit damage so she's another good choice. NmareBfly fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Nov 6, 2017 |

I throw myself at a wall a bunch, get really frustrated, get all self deprecating about it, and take a break and chill out. It makes me feel better screaming over the top about how much I suck because the reality that I'm just like 5 seconds off my goal and there's clearly just one little thing I'm doing wrong that I can't figure out is just way, way more frustrating. I mean, I called myself a "stupid head." And yeah, I just got done working Mantis up too so she's a T2 option. I'm just kind of setting up options right now while I recharge my patience.

One like this, with the proc that increases damage by a large % for one attack. Tom Gorman posted:Obelisk is bad but I haven't been able to roll a better one This is actually a very good Jean obelisk even though it's only a 4*, but the damage proc could be higher. On a 6* they cap out at 200%, though that is very very rare. 140/160 are a good range to shoot for, but even 110% is still a huge boost. Every character wants either invulnerable like you have on yours or a increase damage proc like this, just depends on the character and what your focus is. Invulnerable ones have been the best for PvP for a while but are starting to be less useful as more characters with pierce invulnerable are being added, Quicksilver being a big one. And yea, cards are rough and a very very slow process even for people that have been playing for a long time. Cinara fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Nov 6, 2017 |

Mantis T2 is useful but ideally you don't want to need her, you want to get defpen for cards. Still, seeing as how 'get better cards' is a process that can take months she's not a bad stopgap. Damage proc looks like this:  It can go up to 200%. I think it's about as rare as invincibility, and those are kinda the only two you ever want.

My crit % isn't great and the damage proc is low. My Jean is unranked, but still annihilates every game mode that exists. My favorite strategy is to use resources to turn useless characters into useful ones instead of dumping everything into the metas Right now I'm working on Elektra and Cho.

Ok, I think I get it now. So I want something like this?  Neither of them seem awesome but I get the 100%+ "damage proc" plus either a Fire Damage or Critical Damage bump? Seems about right but I should probably roll a bunch and just look out for that secondary skill instead of the primary ones?

I'm an RPG hoarder. I can finish a JRPG with 99 healing whatevers and 99 resurrects and so on. I always feel like I'm gonna need to use something later. But if something sucks in this game, reroll it and shoot for what you need on a character you want. Doesn't do any good to have that many 6* obelisks sitting there.

I'm 100% a hoarder but on the flip side if I wasn't I wouldn't have been able to find a useful obelisk to stick on Jean, right? I mean, I keep my inventory under 400 most every day so I'm not really hurting for the space. When it starts getting bad and really pressing on my inventory space I'll end up throwing like 20 of them on random people or rerolling some of the lamer ones. But I kind of like having the pool I can sort through when I find out or figure out something like this or go like "I need to give Strange a Web Immunity for Timeline" or "I need to give Wolverine a Stun Immunity for AXB" or something. But it actually used to be a lot worse and I'm in the middle of trying to clean it up.

Still needs to be built up a little but she gets the job done. And Goat yeah, I'd say to slot that dodge / fire damage one, should make a difference. On obos, I basically keep all the immune to guard break ones at 6* for re-rolling purposes. Everything else I level up then if it doesn't have either invincibility or the damage proc, I feed to one of those ITGB ones. Unless I'm looking for something for a specific character that needs elemental damage, then I'll re-roll something with that instead. In general I'll level up +HP, ignore defence, crit rate / damage / recovery rate in that priority order but if it hits 6* and doesn't get a good proc it gets fed to something else regardless of what the main stat is (except for ITGB). Oh, immune to snare sometimes if it's a combat hero that I might use in ABX -- need to do that for apoc, I guess.

You want the damage process obelisk for sure but you are sorely lacking Ignore Defense. If your Jean had close to 50% Ignore Defense (the cap) then you would be wrecking him.

Yeah, I posted it. It was weak and I replaced the obelisk that most of it came from for this new one. I tried to roll a couple of Ignore Defense obelisks and that was the best one I got. I'm also working on cards. I've got a 5* Groot that has 9% Ignore Defense but I'm trying not to make any moves on the cards until I really figure out what I'm doing with them. I want to level that one up to 6* and keep leveling up different cards to see what I can get and revamp my entire card setup. But time. As best as I can tell there's no Ignore Defense Urus. I guess i could change her Iso set. But like I said, I'm pulling back for awhile while I regain my patience with it and come up with a bigger picture plan. I'll roll some more obelisks looking for Ignore Defense (which I've been doing) and the damage proc. I'll keep on my cards. I'll get there.

WOOHOO!!!!!! Thank you all. I ranked up the 5* card I had a 9% ignore defense on and added it to my set. I finished off 12-6 and cleared a bunch to get ignore defense urus, gave Jean 2 on each gear, worked them up to 3*, and enhanced them all to double it. I rolled a bunch of obelisks until I got one that combined a 39% fire damage with a 160% damage proc. I realized I stupidly hadn't leveled up War Wolf's 5 skill so I did that. I had to run a couple of times, try a few different combos of strikers vs dodgers, and it was close but loving finally! Couldn't have done it without you folks, and now I'm gonna stop whining! At least until I can't get the Witch.

Spider-Man 2099 since he’s paywall and this much tougher to naturally T2 than A1. That being said, if you already have Jean and T2 Coulson, T2 A1 would help you clear more WBU levels.

You make a good point about the paywall though, thanks!

Thanos is better these days if you have his new uni, but without that Dormroom is the better choice. I wouldn't get any of the other BO these days over Thanos, as he's just too useful in more modes than they are.

It's mostly just that I'm stuck on Floor 21 this week because I need a villain and I used all my big ones on earlier floors. So I want to work up villains who I can use on lower levels so I can save the Magneto's, Enchantress', Lokis, and Proximas for later. So the question is "If I can work up 2 Black Order easier is it worth having them for early floors over having a Dormammu or Thanos for a later one?" I'm also working on Sandman (and through him Vulture) and T2ing Mordo (and after that Kaecilius), and I'm probably gonna work on Doc Ock or Hela. I also am trying to save for the Loki and Hela costumes (after Thor) when they go back on sale. And I just T2ed Dark Beast. So its a general villain press.

Yellowjacket is a great villain at T2, he solos a variety of high teens/low 20s floors for me, plus he is super easy to farm. His costume is good but not 100% required, it helps him do even more damage/iframes though. I'd assume he can do some stuff at T1 but I have had him at T2 since before SL came out.

Yeah, I got him at 4/20 and with the costume. I don't have much luck with him at T1 (but I haven't really made a concentrated effort with him). He's a definite candidate for T2. Carnage is another I have. I'm not lacking on effective villains, my pool is just relatively shallow. Which is why I'm thinking that quantity over quality might actually be an effective strtaegy if it means everyone gets bumped up. I also just need to figure out heroes I can use for waves and rumbles since part of my problem is that Magneto, Proxima, Carnage, and Enchantress are so useful for them when I should be saving some of them for later floor villain requirements. Right now Ancient One, Storm, and Agent Venom are the only lower level heroes (not Strange, Sharon, Wolvie, or Jean) I reliably use on them so I gotta work on that. It's not a big thing. It's just me gradually climbing the Shadowland ladder as I figure out more tools and tricks. I get the first 15 floors done easily so the rest is just whatever.

T2 Yellowjacket is definitely good, even without his uni. I haven't used Sandman a lot, but Kraven and Mysterio can handle a lower floor pretty handily at T1. Doc Ock is my go to for Destroyer boss, and Ebony Maw for Ultron rumbles (just make sure his cooldown is at cap).
