Hebrons, don’t open a raid today. Save up for Infinity War raid, which may be dropping today.

If it doesn’t drop today, just go back to business as usual and pop the 35s and 40s.

I unlocked Drax today and immediately 3 starred a bunch of missions I was stuck on for so long. Jesus what an upgrade.

Yeah Drax is pretty vital later on to protect your squishy guys from getting killed before they even take a turn. He starts off the round with a taunt and can taunt again on his turn, it's really useful. Make sure you really gear him up though since he'll need a ton of armor and HP to survive all the hits.

Luckily, armor & HP aren't really issues for him:

I got enough shards for Hulk, but.. do I really need him? 100k is a fair amount of money and I just don't see a place for him on my team right now. Sure, down the road when he's fixed or money isn't as much of an issue, but right now..?

If you have capt, then for sure no. If you have drax, I'd still say no. It really is tough to justify getting him at this point for a global launch player.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

I've had Hulk sitting at the top of my roster waiting to be summoned for like 3 days now. I'm not sure when I'll actually summon him since I have no intentions of building him any time soon so it's just a waste of gold. Maybe I'll get him and partially level him if I need another blitz tank or something but it's nowhere near my top priority.

If you're ok with a lvl 29, I'd like to join a Good guild. Would there be any way I can contribute though? I'm relatively new to how raiding works, but it seems like I can only contribute to lvl 40+ raids is with the raid tickets right?

When a raid opens join it. If your contribution is crap its fine, you'll still get great rewards. I'd just recommend taking a path Noone is on to be safe.

Wait, does it matter which path you take? I've just been joining wherever and doing the damage I can before dying, but I thought there was an overall % of damage done and didn't think it mattered where I did mine. How's that work?

Each node has to be defeated to bring the raid percentage up. You can't change directions outside of a few choices on each path, so if you want to 100% a raid people have to make sure that each path is covered so that each node is hit.

Patch notes are up.

1.1 Release Notes posted:

Thanos has emerged from the cosmic shadows, and his arrival on Earth could spell disaster!
Battle with Thanos in the Mad Titan Legendary Event.
Coordinate with your Alliance to take down Thanos in three new Raids, and collect Infinity Orbs!
Recruit Thanos to your squad by opening Infinity Orbs!

Also new in this release:
In the coming weeks, strengthen your S.T.R.I.K.E. roster by recruiting Thanos, Vision, and Doctor Strange!
Wage combat across two new environments: Hydra Armory and Jungle.
Black Panther has new tech from Shuri, granting him an updated ultimate ability. His suit absorbs kinetic energy as he takes damage, and when he reaches 50% Health, it unleashes this stored energy in a devastating explosion.
Elektra’s special ability can now be assisted and countered.
Crossbones no longer has the Inhuman trait.
Power Leaderboards show more than just the top 100 players.
Increased difficulty in Campaigns and Challenges.
Updated victory cameras during combat.
Misc. bug fixes and additional polish throughout.

I know it was a very, very brief moment in a forgettable story in the comics but it's still actually a shame Crossbones lost his Inhuman tag, it was mechanically useful for him, because his Focus is kinda crummy, and that's the stat he has to roll on to apply his Offense Down on his basic, so Quake's +Focus for Inhumans actually benefited him.

We would love to have you. There are the same number of spots in a 40 raid as there are in the alliance so everyone over level 25 can join, hit things, and then get paid.

Patch is out for at least iOS, though maintenance is still in progress.
There's a video on Thanos stuff by this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC0X-iT2pkM

Basically, to get Thanos, you need Infinity Orbs, which ONLY have Thanos shards in them it appears, but random amounts. You get some for going through an Event, but to get more you need to do Thanos Alliance Raids which go up to LEVEL 60.

Thanos himself is a Villain Cosmic Mystic Protector.

Basic is a punch that gives him Counter.
Special is a blast that inflicts Offense Down and Taunts.
Ultimate is an AOE drain attack that can't miss.
Passive gives him extra Resist when he Taunts, plus gives him and Black Order allies energy when he kills someone.

He's on the slow side at 94 speed.

If Black Panther's new explosion ability does comparable damage to Crossbones, BP could be a much better nuke since he's also a proper brawler. Does he show up in the campaigns or only Blitz so far?

Edit: Anyone else's game having to lad a lot of little things over and over? I feel like there's massive slowdowns now.

Not really, it relies more on people being active in the Alliance to work together to get it setup.
