The one thing driving me crazy is ability parts. I know I'm probably way behind as I think I'm only level 2-3 on stuff at Level 53 but it sucks farming those things.

There's an animation where Wolverine jumps onto Hulk's face and just starts stabbing away. Only seen it happen once.

So I'm at like 265k for blitz points right now. I'm debating on whether I can skate by with the 6 free refreshes I'll have over the next day and a half before it ends. Or whether I should use blitz cores tomorrow to push to 400k+ to secure the top 500.

BP was 287k and BW was 210k before that.

It amuses me greatly when someone revives after an execute animation.

For a game built on bad-rear end flourishes, it's legit hilarious watching a guy who flew off a cliff 2 seconds ago magically reappear in the middle of a send-off animation.

He does the same to Kingpin and any other big dude. It's a nice little touch though -- this game has a lot of those.

Is this for the regular Ultimus raid or the Thomas raid? Either way I'm ready to die and be carried to Valhalla.

My A team is shaping up nice, I've got Night Nurse pushing like 8k. My B team is... Really falling short. Anybody got suggestions on who to kit for my fallback? Team A is Yondu/Winter Soldier/Drax/Wolverine/Night Nurse. B team usually ends up with Quake and Xbones, with everyone else just being who's strongest that day.

Put Quake on your A team, seriously. Even if she doesn’t hit hard (and she does when skilled and geared), keeping all the enemies slowed gives you a large enough turn advantage for NN to work wonders. Drax Yondu NN Quake plus either WS or Wolverine should be fine for an A team for most stuff, and ideally you’ll end fights at nearly full health (pay attention to # of enemies remaining, don’t waste big skills when basic attacks will suffice, etc) and not need a B team at all. Position Drax on one end with Yondu and Quake as far away from him as possible, try to have Yondu’s summon ready at the start of each battle, and they will help you heal and kill things before they get an attack off. Anything that does hit you will hopefully be targeting Drax so your squishy summons should be far away from him so they don’t get chained/cleaved too much. I save Yondu and Quake ultimate skills for when it looks like I might take a lot of damage, otherwise I just use their basics to prolong fights so NN gets more turns.

How many blitz cores have you spent? I can reach tier 5 after day one but that’s with doing some 25 cost fights with various teams, but then the next morning my A team gets one free fight and then is right back to 50 cost, or maybe 1 fight at 25 before jumping to 50. And every remaining refresh works the same way so I can get like 50-60k a day from free fights with my A/B/C teams but anything beyond that costs a lot of cores.

I'm doing 9 paid battles a day with my a team. Those paid battles can be with blitz shards or cores. So the first 3 are 25 cores x 3. The second 3 are 50 x 3. And the final 3 are 100 x 3.

But then the next day it starts at 100, or 1 at 50 and then 100, doesn’t it?

It resets the counter the next day. So it'll be 3x50,3x100,3x150. Every 6h you get a free battle too.

As long as you’ve seen the good killshot animations in 1x I don’t think you really miss out on anything playing at 3x, and other than some very endgame raid nodes the timer won’t ever be an issue.
