So I have Proxima Midnight. Is she worth the effort to level up? Because she demands crazy resources. I'm tempted to blow forty bucks on the drat mega-6 stuff being offered, along with the crystals that would mean I could unlock Magneto a lot more quickly.

The Black Order characters cost half to level that essentially all other Native T2s do (Quicksilver is the same, Cable might be but he's mutant track not BAM so it's different), so good luck with that.

Also, in case those thoughts were related, you can't ticket up native T2s.

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.

This is only relevant if you have a time machine, since the Panther bundle being 3300 is a sale, not a price change, and it ends next week. I mean, it's still the best deal going, but by the time you get 3300 out of stashes it will definitely be 5500 again, and that means a third month purchased.

Yeah definitely give Sharon Rogers a spin, she's made up for this game but she's so good she's worth it. Clea is a good choice for a rank up ticket, I burned them on her and satana to speed up strange a bunch. Satana is just now good though with her new costume. I haven't done much with clea though other than group her with strange to boost him and there's always the long way of getting her shifter bios. You want shadowlands 10 as soon as you can since 5 10 and 15 give nice chunks of bios.

Don't mega rank Clea IMO. It's a big jump on Strange but it's way better to use the mega on a bio sub like Agent Venom. By herself she's sorta meh. I can clear a lady relay or universal relay with her at T1 but it's hard enough that I usually don't bother. She dies really fast.

Save a 5* and 6* ticket for her for sure, though. And a 4* if one pops up, but those are rarer than the others.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I have on basic rule I try and stick by.

1) Save your tickets for the hardest people to farm.

From easiest to hardest, loosely...
1) Story Missions 1-13.
2) X-Men
3) Special Missions
4) Chaos Token People
5) Strange people
6) Dimension Rifters (except Modok, Ant-Man, and Ultron)
7) Honor Token People
8) Kate Bishop
9) Asgardians
10) Dimension Shifters (Gwenpool, Inferno, Clea, Vulture)
11) Blue Marvel, Nova, Anti-Man, and X-23
12) A-Force
13) Pay People

So I wouldn't use T2 tickets to do the X-Men. Its pretty easy and cheap to farm their bios and there's limited usage for the feathers/m'kraan stuff once you're done with Wolverine. If you don't use it on the mutants you'll just end up capping out earlier. Meanwhile you're not using up resources you can use elsewhere.

Sometimes I break the rule and use tickets if there's some limited time event. I had a ton of 5* tickets so I used one on Shuri to get her to 6* faster and get the prize. But I try not to use tickets on anyone I can easily feed bio selectors or farm cheaply. That's basically 8 and up. 9, really since I can use bio selectors on the Asgardians too. Everyone from 10-13 are the ones tickets are most valuable for since there's so few other ways to get them there.

Clea's a good target for up to a 5* ticket, for sure, since she's needed for Strange and is hard to farm. After that its up to you.

and I'll die if

The worst thing about World Bosses is leveling them by sacrificing bios to them. Once you've completed the X-men, their tracking missions are a good source, but otherwise youre farming bios that you could be using other places.

Take the plunge! Okay!

Bleah, if I hadn't splurged on BP costumes I'd be able to get the new year pack. Getting a mega tier 2 ticket is one of the only things that might make me actually plonk down on a bio sub. I wonder why NM hasn't realised that? Like, even with two mega-6'es sitting here I know if I spend ten bucks I might be able to squeeze 2 T2 paywalls into a month but I shouldn't bank on it with the way gear upgrades work. Guaranteeing more value would go a long way, and I wouldn't want to 'waste' a mega t2 on someone I could farm normally-ish.

Nico's good backup on a rumble in SL. Wasp on auto and Nico played manually (to run her into Wasp's bubble) is a decent team-up. Singularity is legit pretty good IMO.

Similar to the Thor ones. Some CTPs, some 6* card boxes, chunk of crystals (125/75) and BAM (200). Also a card with physical attack/ignore defense/cooldown as its locked rolls. CTPs and the card are of course locked behind getting mythical level uniforms.

Yea I just finished my mythic BP uni today and did all the stages first try getting every reward except the Shuri/Killmonger mythic ones without any troubles.

My BP card also rolled "somewhat decent". Phys attack is better these days with QS/Wolverine being in the meta so it got equipped right away.

I thought dimension rifters were characters you couldn't directly farm but they had a chance to show up in other missions, like Clea, Vulture, Angela etc.

I mean, its a matter of terminology.

Characters whose bios can be obtained by playing their Dimension Rifts: Loki, Wasp, Giant Man, Modok, Ultron, Ant-Man, Nebula, Drax, Rocket, Ronin, Yondu. I called them "Dimension Rifters".

Characters whose bios can be obtained by chance by playing certain missions Special Missions they might shift into: Gwenpool, Inferno, Clea, Vulture. I called them "Dimension Shifters".

Angela is actually in a separate group I failed to list. Players you can't actively target in missions but who you can use bio selectors on. You might get random Angela bios from her shifting into missions, Alliance Battle, the Lab, or something like that but the "easiest" way to get her is with the big bio packs you can acquire. Characters like Sharon Rogers, Moon Knight, Silk, Miles Morales, etc fall into this spot. Its a tough group for me to "rank" because how hard it is to get these characters depends entirely on whether you're getting bios from Shadowland every week or not. So if you're early in its totally worth using tickets to get Sharon Rogers so you can get to the point where you can easily get Shadowland bios to feed to Miles or someone.

You need a Blaster who can deal a lot of damage quickly before he heals it. Jean Grey, Strange, and Sharon Rogers can do it for me. Cable and Witch probably can for others. Maybe Magneto. Maybe some of the universal T2s like Odin and Thanos?

Nova is a weird guy for me because like I haven't upgraded his gear or skills or given him an obelisk or ISO set. And he's slotted in one of my teams that I use to "queue" characters I want to work on but someone always moves ahead of him. But like... he can still take down a Wave or a Rumble in the teens so I always end up using him in Shadowland and am satisfied. And I know if I worked him up he'd probably be better. But he's always good enough that I find another priority. Same basic deal with Anti-Man.

If I have Phoenix, Quicksilver, and Wolverine available than I straight up can't lose Timeline. Its just a matter of picking teh right matchups. The only challenge I had today was from a pesky X-23 that weirdly took down Phoenix, took half of Quicksilver off, and then took Wolverine like 2 minutes to kill. But if I have the 3 of them its almost always just a matter of the matchups. If they're blocked then it gets sketchier the further down my line I have to go. Sharon, Spidey, Strange... after that it gets iffy.

Do you have any use for a t2 ticket? If so you're getting a uni, t2 ticket, premium card and up to 3 other mythical cards for 2700 crystals after the 600 you get from the extreme challenges. It's a drat steal at this price.

The Shuri and Killmonger unis only give you CTPs, so up to you if those are worth the cost. From what reddit says, Killmonger is maybe the worst paywall ever, so yea.

Eh. If you buy stuff in there it might be since it speeds up the time it takes to reload and opens up more slots. But if you don't really buy from the shop then its pointless. Its probably something that can wait until you're more flush with gold. The Anti Matter Generator is the only Lab thing you should make a priority to upgrade.

All I've bought in there is Level 5 EXP chips. Didn't know if Level 15 unlocked anything better for purchase or not.

Yeah I do have some dudes waiting for a Tier 2 ticket. (I'll be coming into two over the next few days but a third ticket will be useful.)
Vulture, Rogue, Satanana and Elias Bloodstone are all waiting to be Tier 2d. It sounds like BP is the only one worth going for. And since you can buy a (normal) Legendary to Mythic ticket and BP starts at Legendary it is a perfect fit.

Bitches love my tool time
I'm kind of new to this game and working through the story. I have a 6* full mastery Sharon, a 6* half mastery Luna and Squirrel Girl. I am getting stuck on the Story mode every once in a while because I'm behind in power level. I am also about 45 on each of those characters and in Chapter 11. I can sometimes push a level of the attack power is 1k higher but often times it's rough. Should I get these guys to max level first and plow through or should I be doing something else?

STAC Goat
Mar 12, 2008

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yes, you should get them leveled up. Level 60, 6*s is a big upgrade from Level 45, 6*. You should also work on their gear and get it to at least 15 or 17. If you can get Sharon's gear to 20 and her level to 60 you can use a T2 ticket on her and then she'll carry you a long way.

But that being said, Chapter 11 is difficult even for veterans. The characters you're facing in there are T2, above Level 60, so you'll probably be awhile before you can really conquer those and much longer for the last few missions of Chapter 12. Oddly Chapter 13 seems easier.

This is probably the part of your gaming experience where you really start noticing all the other game modes on your Status Board and learning them.
