You've done well, kiddo.
Also infinity war may have a new costume for the most strangest of doctors.

It's probably only safe to buy costumes for fringe characters who will never be in the IW movies at the moment.

I am just hoping for good costumes for Cap, Iron Man and Black Widow that allows them to solo some SL stages. Oh, and Vision as well!

I loving hate Blue Marvel! He has been at 20/20/20/19 on me for like a month. Every goddamn time I put bios into it I swear it only goes up like 1 percent. I should use my T2 ticket on loving Lash or something then he will level up I bet. :flame:

Man I am at a loss for where to go next

I have Agent Venom and Sharon Rogers max lvled and one mastery from max for Agent Venom

I have Angela, American Chavez, and a couple others getting close to max level. I have a few other characters I'll message around with when I'm bored so I'm all good on that.

Is this where I start messing with ISOs and cards and poo poo? I uh didn't know that equipping those things costs crystals to remove so a few of my sets probably aren't ideal.

I feel like I'm a little weak.

dont worry, it only costs crystals if you want to remove and keep them. you can overwrite them for free.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

T2 selector talk. I've got everyone I care about and most of the meta to T2 already. Do any of the following stand out as more useful over the others? I'd like someone who can help Spidey and Dr Strange clear the Dormammu energy immune SL level this week because I planned poorly and burned all my good physical damage guys and want to reserve my heaviest hitters for 27-30.

Options are Shuri, Amadeus Cho, All members of the GOTG (I've been slacking on rifts and haven't used selectors or chests on them yet), Shang Chi, Skurge, Silk, Spider-Gwen.

I'm thinking Shuri, Skurge, or one of the spider women are probably best. I don't have the costumes and the sale just ended but can grab it next time if it matters. Biggest downside to Shuri is she is 5/5 already whereas the rest are 3/0 or lower, but that isn't a huge bio difference.

I could also use it on Coulson who is 6/6/60 but only 4x5 gear. I don't find I need his extra team buff currently. Maybe for world boss ultimate if that becomes necessary for T3.

Well, Coulson's enormous buff is applicable against Dormammu energy immune, fwiw, and has tremendous utility outside, like WBU like you mentioned but also just faster AB clears, etc.

For the record I use Jean on energy immune and Strange/Dormammu/Odin for the BO every week.

Besides that the best on the list is definitely Shuri, yeah

Thanks I'll think about Coulson v Shuri. Odin is currently last on my list of T2 natives to bring up. I have Ebony Maw at 56, Dormammu at 5/5/50, and Warlock at 4/4/42 or something like that. Black Dwarf, Corvus, Supergiant and Odin untouched at 1*. All the others are maxed out.

edit: Shuri worked. Went with her as Coulson was on cooldown this week from being tossed in one of the many many many Blast levels I got this week. Cleared both dormammu phases with 15 seconds to spare with my usual tactic of playing whack a mole with 5 2 and 3 on Dr S while spidey and whomever did their own thing.

Butt first, let's

I've been pounding away at World Boss Ultimate with little luck so I'm thinking its time for me to explore those Coulson/WarWolf T2 buffs people talk about. I'm definitely not using this selector on Coulson because I have him at 4/20+150 so I just need the resources or I might use a ticket. But is WarWolf worth consideration? It doesn't really seem that impressive.

The only person I don't have at 6* who I can use this on is Absorbing Man and some Asgardians I'm not doing that. And there's no one I'm itching to T2. So I have no idea what I'm doing with this selector.

Crap. I was hoping to use it on Magneto so I could finally unlock Jean without piddling on his little mission forever.

Guess I've got a big decision here. Which of these do I use it on?

6* Mastery Shuri
6* Mastery Sharon Rogers
6* Mastery Titania
6* Mastery Absorbing Man
6* Mastery Chavez
6* Mastery Elsa Bloodstone
6* Klaw (3 Mastery)
6* Mantis (2 mastery)
6* Hulk
6* She-Hulk
5* Skurge
5* Black Bolt
5* Coulson
5* Destroyer
5* War Machine
4* Hulkbuster
4* Spider-Man
4* Loki
4* Winter Soldier
4* Red Hulk
4* Moon Knight
4* Ghost Rider
4* Black Cat
3* Heimdall
3* Groot
3* Rocket Raccoon
3* Captain Marvel
3* Star-Lord
3* Venom
3* Misty
1* Singularity
1* Medusa
1* Crystal
1* Angela
1* Ghost Rider Robbie



I've got Captain America just about ready to T2, and trying to amass 10 million gold to get Cable to 6*.

I really wish they'd give out 'Gear-20' tickets to avoid the annoying rank-up of all this gear and the drat drag that is.

Shuri's better than Coulson -- she has a buff that is better than his defensively and a bit worse offensively but it also applies to everyone, not just hero characters. She's also worth a drat by herself, especially with her costume (which if you level up gives you a CTP.) Coulson is... pretty bad aside from the group buff.

War Wolf buff is basically fine but I think he's been superseded in a big way.

I'm probably going to use the T2 selector on MODOK but I'll sit on it for a week in case there's something in patch notes that says I need bios for someone else.

E: ^- for best value I might say Robbie since he's the lowest you have and is pretty dang useful in SL. You want to T2 your Sharog ASAP though.

Shuri ended up working well, thanks, edited my last post. I'm sure you're aware but just in case, note the T2 selector expires in like 6 days. They dont want you to sit on it for long.

edit: Robbie tip if you select him Vader. Mine is only T1 but he's been pretty useful now that I have good cooldown cards. If you don't have good cards, pair him with a leader like Iron Man who gives 24% skill cooldown so you can keep him in his iframes, especially his skill 5. Maybe T2 makes it so he doesn't need that, but I was unimpressed with him until I figured that lack of cooldown bonus was my problem with him and Carnage.

Sharon Rogers and Loki are both the most obvious "big characters to T2" I see. Both completely changed my game when I T2ed them. You'd "save" more resources by using it on Loki but Rogers is better and if you're not collecting Shadowland bios it can be tough to gear her up.

Magneto really doesn't take very long, all things considered. It may feel that way but he's one of the easiest people to "farm" in the game.

Oh yeah, we just might have patch notes by then. Scuttlebutt is that the next update is on the 25th so it'll be close but we'll see.

Maybe... since there's no real new characters to debut for Infinity War the big thing of this update along with new costumes will be T3s for folks like Cap, Iron Man, and Widow? Would fit the movie theme, would come with new costumes/looks, and is basically the oldest characters in the game and easiest to farm getting an upgrade.

Yeah, I meant we know we're getting new costumes to match the movie but that feels "soft" for a major update where we're so used to getting new characters. But there's really no one new to add from the movie except maybe Nick Fury.

But with the T3 thing I was just thinking that instead of new characters maybe the big thing is that they're upgrading those OG Avengers characters as T3s.

Which might seem obvious to some but I've been wondering for awhile how they resolve the "new character" expectation and just reasoned out that making a bunch of the OG Avengers "new" with massive overhauls would probably do the trick.

Cinara
Jul 15, 2007
I mean we are likely getting no new characters but a fuckton of new costumes with this update. Between all the BO, Thanos, and who knows how many Avengers, there could easily be 10 new costumes this update if not more. This on top of T3 for the same characters?

Yeah, but costumes alone are kind of a lovely big sell considering they all cost crystals which are hard to get and stockpile unless you already have everything. Or spend money.

Like I've got 2000+ I've been saving but there's a couple of costumes I want, Emma, and Warlock. I'll probably hold onto them for the Infinity War stuff but even if there's a dozen new costumes unless they're all being sold for gold or something I'll only be able to get a couple of them.

But if they T3 a bunch of the easily farmable OG Avenger characters then that's a more accessible get that you can just farm or use Shadowland bios on. More of what I was looking/hoping for from a big update.

Which again, might have been obvious to some as soon as they teased the T3 thing but I'm slow on the uptake and don't pay a lot of attention to the update sites and note stuff outside this thread and the in game notices.
