Two beats after that you'll need 1000 phoenix feathers but otherwise you are on the home stretch. Hang in there. Just don't do what I did and feed your x-men bios to Thanos or Quicksilver before you T2 them, because Jean Grey is ridiculously good and worth all the effort. I T2'd Magneto and Rogue something like 3 months before I did Storm and Cyclops because I didn't think ahead. when I had the bios I didn't have the mkraan crystals so I fed the bios to QS, then once I had the mkraan crystals I was oops they are still 4x15 gear and oops again I need 150 more to actually advance to T2 unless I burn a monthly ticket (which I ended up doing for Storm).

I spent the pass few weeks feeding bios to Quicksilver along with Black Anti Matter. (Also it takes like 1500 bios to bring him from level 55 to 60. Ouch.)

Then I unlocked Cable and discover he only needs Phoenix Feathers (which I'm always at Cap for) to rank up. I should have been grinding him ahead of Pietro.

Oy. I only have 245 of those feathers. That'll take a lovely amount of time. Maybe long enough for me to save up the crystals to get Magneto. At least I have 867 M'Kraan somehow. And hey, I'm one round of World Bosses away from finishing the Dr. Strange research with all the Norn Stones. What's next for me there?

Feathers farm really quickly. You get roughly 20 apiece for each thing you have open so you can rack them up well with just the daily stuff. It might take time but it takes way less than most of the other resources besides M'kraan shards. M'kraan shards come easy from all the Tracking Missions but M'kraan Crystals are the hardest thing to farm and you'll probably end up at a point where it will be quicker to convert feathers into crystals in the lab.

Each thing I have open? What thing?

I guess I was under the assumption that you could turn M'Kraan Shards into M'Kraan Crystals but apparently not, which is dumb.

The lab, so far, I've only been using the store occasionally, and mostly for Level 5 XP chips. The processor of turning a bunch of valuable stuff into barely any of a different valuable thing seems wasteful and annoying, and the Deploy thing feels like a waste of anti-matter that could be used to level up the store.

Veiled and Mutual Missions all deal out feathers. Depending on how far along you are in the Epic Mission I don't know how many of them you have available. But they deal out about 20-30 feathers a piece and there's six total. So when you have them all open you'll do 100-200 feathers a day.

I made the same mistake confusing shards with crystals. If you go back I have this hilarious smug post when I was where you're at when I boasted that when I finally got the feathers I'd be good because of all my saved shards. Then someone broke the news to me.

The Lab Processor is super valuable because you'll always have more of some resource than another you need. Yeah, if you're doing the math youre spending for lesser value but it's worth it if you're capped out on feathers and getting 100 a day and only get like 10 Mkraan crsytals a day. Or if you need a ton of chaos stones. Or if you want to try and get X23 or Ultimates bios. It's situational but it's very useful when you're in need of something.

Deploying isn't worth it. The Store can be. I buy Level 5 experience chips and Gear Up Kits. In the past I've bought Dimension Debris when I was short on it. On occasional I'll but stones or gear if I need some or are short.

I started both at the same time and finished the Wolverine quest a month ago. I hated both of them but my jaw absolutely hit the goddamn floor when the Strange quest asked me to 5-star loving Clea.

This was directly after the bullshit with "collect 5 billion pieces of rank 6 dark matter."

Around the same time that I got to her the Black Panther patch dropped and I just deleted the app in disgust at the absurd monetization going on. Like, I was still waiting for them to make good on that "We're sorry, let us fix the mistake we made" post they dropped post-Ultimates and actually make Blue Marvel bios achievable. But seeing how they never bothered retuning the Strange epic quest after the Wolverine one, much later, was so much better constructed just made me realize these dudes hate me personally and want me to destroy myself.

Yea, I think I ended up using the daily bios for Clea to get past that. Because gently caress running those missions and hoping she shows up and you can get 1 bio. Didn't it ask for like 10 of the highest ranked Dark Matter? I remember that being a huge amount of bullshit.

It's good if a) you actually plan on fulfilling the requirements to get the rest of the rewards, which requires going mythic on non-BP costumes, or b) BP is your favorite character ever and/or husbando

Otherwise I guess ask yourself if a relatively mediocre costume + T2 ticket is worth roughly $30 in crystals

Luckily the thread had told me about the Clea requirement ahead of time so I stashed a 5* ticket for her. They seem to come along often enough that you should just mark it for her if you're trying to get Strange. Like we seem to get one every time they have a maintenance/update blackout.

Yea, but i am dumb and never save them. Well, at the time, now I do. Helped to get Luna up faster.

My current T2 ticket usage is Quasar-Mantis-Luna, assuming I have Luna ready to be t2'd by the end of next month, or if i have it done before the end of the movie, she'll get the end of month ticket used on her.

The other day I realized I was really close to T2’ing Iron Man, so I did the 3 days of grinding and got him there, but he seems... really bad? Even at T2 his damage seems pretty anemic, and he has the toughness of a wet paper bag. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, sort of same question with Red Hulk - I’ve got his gears and skills maxed out (though not T2 yet), and he doesn’t seem to have much survivability and doesn’t dish out enough damage. Does he need his unit to shine? Is it just because he’s not T2 yet?

Iron Man is trash but I'd give good odds that he gets an Infinity Wars uni that makes him way better.

Red Hulk is 1000x better with his uni, it gives him a massive heal and a invincible on his 3 plus more damage in general. I use him at T1 to clear plenty of sub-20 SL stages solo.

I can solo a Combat Rumble into the early teens with T2 Iron Man. Key is hitting the 3 invincibility as often as possible. It has a fast enough cooldown that I can basically go 3-5-3-4-3-2 etc. If you time it right it works. If you mess up the timing it can get you caught and killed quick, though. I also usually give him an energy boost leadership. I don't even have his best uniform, I don't think. Using the Age of Ultron one.

Red Hulk on the other hand I still just can't get down. His leadership always ends up being what I use him for to beef up a Ghost Rider or Hellstorm.

Roughly $30 but you can get some bonus stuff along with it. Or like $5 something (1.5 months worth) if you just buy the Stark's Stash which is 75/day for $3.50 a month and a way better deal than anything else you can get in this game.

I mean the strange quest used to let you run the dudes 10 times each instead of 3 which was more chances at clea. And it’s recommended to use tickets on her which are thrown at you if you don’t waste them. I don’t see it being that bad. But I guess fygm since I did it when it was current and a tad easier.

protip for new players: if you don't have 15 6*'s then you can start a world boss raid and lose it (or quit out) and it'll count as a try for the event but won't stop you from using the same people again. Just don't beat the boss.

also the reward in the event shop is another rank 6 uni ticket, NOT a mega-6 despite it showing a mega-6 in the splash screen.

My daily challenges threw a "participate in World Boss Ultimate" at me yesterday for the first time so I gave it a run and finally got a win in that thing (I've only tried a dozen times or so but I've never come close before). It took a few tries to get down Dwarf's timing and figure out the strategy but Magneto, Phoenix, and Cable pulled it off.

Then I tried Phase 2. Sheesh.

I 4/20ed her a couple of weeks ago. I figure by the time I'm done naturally T2ing all the early story people Clea will probably be close to ready. But I also have Ancient One, Mordo, Wong, and Kaecilius all sitting on 150 bios so I'm pretty much going to be naturally backlogged on Strange's friends to naturally T2 forever whenever I have a ton of chaos stones and nothing to do with them.

Proxima isn't as good as she used to be, she's squishy. I use her and Loki separately to take down the universal villain destroyer stages in shadowlands, and don't tend to use her elsewhere.

Quicksilver will be hard at first but once you are past the black antimatter requirements for wolverines and Dr strange I'd focus on him. He's pretty great and costs the same as proxima to max out. The other good native t2s like Thanos and Jean cost quite a bit more but are worth it when you get them.

I can't remember from your previous posts, do you have Sharon Rogers? If not she'd be a good choice for a mega t2 or even just getting a bunch of bios to t2 her the hard way as she is great at all content she can do.

I have Sharon Rogers at 6 stars, but only 2 mastery and at Level 50.

I'm at the Kaelicius To 4* task on Strange, and the 1000 M'Kraan Crystals on X-Men, hitting at that 2-a-day Magneto fight. I've just T2-ticketed Rogue, and I have 3 of those left. Debating on saving them for the other three X-Men on the way to Jean Grey.

Spidey 2099 and Ant-Man are able to beat Thanos in World Boss, but I'm about 3 days away from unlocking the Quicksilver task.

I've gotten as far as Shadowland Level 9. I have 7 T2ers filled out, with Strange, Wolverine and Proxima 2* as my other T2ers. I'm struggling to keep enough gold and dimension rifts to level everyone's gear up - I have 9 other characters at Level 60 with full mastery waiting to bump up, plus Songbird at 57 and Quake at 56 at 5* mastery. Just got Rhino to 6*, no mastery. Luna Snow at 5* mastery, but I've been diverting my paywall 20 bios to Killmonger because I can't believe there is a playable Killmonger in a video game and I'm a Black Panther nerd. Haven't gone so far as to get the costumes yet, though.

I do have Agent Venom, Clea, and Valkyrie at 1-star, which feels like where I'd want to go with a mega ticket to maximize it. But maybe Quicksilver would be better for it.
