Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.

Any more about it?

These Infinity War costumes are gonna drain me, and round 2 isn't even here yet.

Gives him a ton more DPS and survivablity and this is with the costume only at advanced. I say if you hadcorvus built up already it would beagood purchase for sure.

Like part of me regrets not buying the Corvus costume when I was considering it but the reality is I bought Bucky's and he went from a nothing character I use for a Leadership boost to someone who can solo a Proxima Ultimate fight. So who can regret it?

Yay, I finally finished the Strange quest today! Yay for full-power Strange! Glad I only needed to get Clea to 5 and that I had a crap ton of purple stones to get her Mastery where I needed.

Planning to focus BAM on getting Thanos up there... but maybe I should grab me some Corvus. I like that his uniform can apparently summon minions. I like minion-summoning.

I have the Thor uniform, and I like it if for no other reason than that it puts "Immigrant Song" in my head every time I use Thor. I don't have Thor at T2 yet, so I haven't seen it at full power.

I have heard there are some bugs going around with Proxima, like her bounce spear doesnt stun in the uniform. Hopefully they fix that.

I think if you don't have any thor uniform the raganarok one is better because of the card that comes with it when you max it.

Yeah, even if the Infinity War costume is better it doesn't come with a card. So either you want that costume/card or you already invested the resources to get it so its not worth getting the new costume. That was my math and I assume a lot of people did the same which is why I've heard nothing about the costume.

Once you stop needing them you just collect them. I"m not there yet but like once you master everyone, or just everyone you want to, then you're just collection stones and never using them.

That's the deal with the mutant resources. I just rack them up until they cap out and then I sell a bunch or convert them to something else in the lab. But stones don't cap out so people probably just collect them mindlessly.

So, the Mega 6-Star. I can use them on paywall people.

So I've got Agent Venom up to 4 stars and I've been working on him lately. I've also got Magik at 4 stars.

I've got Enchantress, Misty Knight and Jane Thor at 3, Valkyrie at 2, Hyperion and Quasar and Medusa, Hellcat, Shang-Chi at 1.

I could also wait until tomorrow to unlock Carnage or Ironheart or Kid Kaiju and then do it.

100% use it on a paywall exclusive characters. Jane Foster, Misty Knight, Hellcat, Shang Chi, and Medusa aren't. You can use selectors on them.

The traditional pecking order was Agent Venon > Enchantress > Carnage > Hyperion > Ironheart > Kaiju. I don't know where Magik, Quasar, and Valkyrie fit in though. I'd say AV > Enchantress at T2 but Enchantress > AV at T1. You'd also get more bang for you buck with her since you haven't fed her as many pay bios as Venom.

Yeah. You can use tickets on him too. But just lab or pay bios (don't use pay).

Using the Mega Ticket on him probably wouldn't be a terrible move. Like, it won't save you literal money but he, Blue Marvel, and Anti Man are arguably harder to work up if you have them all the way down at 1*. And they're all arguably stronger than Agent Venom and Enchantress, at least at T1.

I just used my megarank 6 upgrade on Anti-man, then used a 2-3-4-5-6 series on Nova, and have zero regrets.

Of course I also have zero Norn Stones of Omnipotence left from getting enough of their bios, so I can't master them yet.

One bio at a time from the processor, and it shares the pool with all the other universal characters. So some good times

Yeah, I got them all to 6 with tickets. I've just been doing the lab on and off since then trying to slowly work the gears up. Maybe by the next Avengers movie.

He comes out at 1* and you have to work him up. The only sane option is to unlock him in the lab, get him to 6 with tickets, and then use the lab to get bios for his gear. One. At. A. Time.

The good news is they're all really, really effective at 6* 4/17. Hell, I had AntiMan at 4/5 forever without realizing it and he was kicking rear end for me. So getting them to 4/20 and T2 probably makes them gods but isn't necessary.

I figured I'd just use one day of paid bios to unlock him before 6*ing him. I'd rather do Blue Marvel, but I'd have to be able to get past stupid ODIN first and I haven't found any way to do that yet. I used one on Anti-Man a while back and he's been fantastic, so I"m hoping Nova would be worth the brief investment, too.

Maybe now that I've got Full Strange I can get around Odin.

From a straight forward cost analysis using pay bios on a non-pay character is kind of a waste. The hard rule is "only spend pay bios on pay characters." But realistically one day to unlock Nova isn't bad and I totally spent pay bios on lesser people when I was younger and dumber in the game.

You shouldn't use it on Blue Marvel though because once you do finally get past his stage you'll get a 6* Blue Marvel immediately. Nova's a good choice.

What is 4/17 I assume 6* is rank or mastery

Bio sub for random characters was also a more appealing option before shadowlands started throwing 200+ bios at you every week for most of the characters.

The gears. There's 4 of them and can work them from 1 to 20. So 4/17 means all four worked up to 17. You need to get them to 4/20 to T2 a character.

Getting them to 4/17 is big because it ups their damage a lot. Up to 4/15 costs Gear Up Kits and Dimension Debris. 16 and up costs bios as well. They start getting more expensive and you get "fails" after 17 so a default philosophy is to try and work everyone up to 4/17 and then pick and choose who you work to 4/20.

6* is the rank, yeah. And Level 60 is kind of assumed there.

So 6*, Level 60, 4/17 is the point where you usually see your character start to really show his or her potential.

I’m in the same spot wrt Anti-Man and Nova, but I second the other posters to say that they are INSANELY good at T1, like solo high levels of SL at T1. I think I used AM in like a level 23 Universal Villain level and he tore through it.

Magik appears to have similar potential. I keep saving her for later and later levels and she makes them all look easy.

You've done well, kiddo.
Cool, I got a 3* Quasar out of the random daily hero box. I also have a 4* Killmonger than I had already put some tickets into, although he won't get built up for ages as I am putting the bio sub into Agent Venom at the moment. Which of those 2 is better for the 6* selector we got?

In costume chat, the Thor one looks really good and is probably at least as good as the Ragnarok costume, it's just, as people have said, most either already have his Ragnarok costume at Mythic or are on the way there. If you have neither and you have no use for the comic card then the new costume is probably a good buy over his starting costume.

The Proxima one also looks good, it is just massively overshadowed by Corvus' new costume, which is super good. Only the whales have enough to get both.

I really like Quasar, but Agent Vernon is absolutely the better pick of the two imo.

Yeah, I meant the 6* mega rank up we got, not a selector.

Also the choice is between Quasar and Killmonger.

Agent Venom is almost at 6* through the bio sub, will just take a while to get enough bios to 4/20 him.

So they posted full artwork of 4.0 here.

http://www.mobirum.com/article/detail?cafeId=futurefight_en&bbsId=75&id=1132167

Looking at this it means we are getting new costumes for Ebon Maw, Black Dwarf, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Rocket, Star Lord, and either Hulkbuster or Hulk.

So if like me you have a Tier 2 selector that you haven't used, I'd recommend using it on one of those characters.

Also if (like me) you bought a Stark Stash (the crappy seven day box that promised rank up tickets but only ever gave out Energy and Clear Tickets.) they hosed up the numbers of the drops.

So you will be getting a free six star rank up ticket. Yay, I can use it on Colossus maybe in case he gets a Deadpool 2 costume.

And everyone gets 100 free bios. Double yay.

Quasar is great at T2, easily solos most 1-20 SL levels. She does okay damage (compared to the overpowered rest of the ultimates releases) but can keep up immunity to all damage with good cooldown on her 3. At t1 she does less damage but is still decent.

My killmonger is only 4* but I think if you get him and max his costume you get something from the extreme legendary battle.
