Do you mean actual "Goon Squad"? Because that guild died.

There were several active. "Catman's Shameful Secret" is very active but I think we're full at the moment. Might change soon, who knows.

Does someone active have leadership of the original goon squad? If so, why not fill it back up with latecomers?

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

Here’s a blitz walkthrough I posted somewhere else that you guys might find helpful:

This is for multi-day blitzes that I want to be in the top 500:

When blitz starts, I will have 500 charges plus the 100 daily reward plus 240 or whatever from Thursday challenge if it’s starting on Thursday.

Tier 1- Three minions with 42 power, two minions at 100ish power. I use two of the hydra blasters, but any damage dealer is fine. They’ll oneshot each opponent in tier 1. I use this team four times, cost is 75 charges total.

Tier 2- Same thing but two 400ish power units. I use JJ and another blaster minion but again it’s flexible. Four fights, 75 charges.

Tier 3- Same thing but 1000ish power. Depending on available opponents, I may not use this team for the final tier 3 fight.

Tiers 4-7 I start with a team of 2k ish units for a few fights, then a team of 3-5k, then my C team which is 6-7k units, B team which is 8-10k, A team which is 86k total.

I do all of that at the start. Last night for example I ended up at tier 7.5 and just over 100k points. I used around 400 charges, but then claimed my daily and did the challenge and am sitting on 400 charges.

Today I will do three free fights with each of my top 3 teams. I will also do three fights at 25 cost with my A team when I’m at tier 8. Any time I am at tier 8.75, I will throw in a random low power team and lose intentionally to restart tier 8 since it’s the highest tier available and the more you win the harder it gets, despite staying at 4x multiplier.

Saturday is the same as Friday. 9 free fights, 3 fights with A team at 25 charges each.

Sunday I’ll do the same free fights, plus I will do additional fights with my A team at 50 energy per fight. I will also probably do some B team fights at 25 cost since the points per charge is better than doing 100 cost fights with my A team.

Doing this last week I was over 600k points without spending any premium cores. Everyones roster is different so listing my team comps probably wouldn’t be helpful. The important thing is having balanced teams and knowing what opponents you need to avoid with each team.

This is a fun and addicting game. I wish the whaling options were better. 50 Night Nurse shards would be a lot more tempting at $20 than $35.

What placement did you end up with for 600k?

I would drop $10 for so many characters I haven't unlocked/ranked up but every offer I see is like $60 for some gold or some poo poo.

On the other hand I haven't spent a cent and I'm almost max level so it works out alright.

I was 535 for that one, missed top 500 by like 4000 points. One more battle would have gotten it easily but I missed a few free battles that weekend. I was 400ish for Dr. Strange and could have gotten BW pretty easily if I knew wtf I was doing then.

At this point, most of the alliances recruit via discord. I recommend grabbing the app. You don't need to be on all the time, but it's handy to pop in now and then. Also most alliances are full and some of the casual alliances died so it's harder to find space if you're a casual player.

Tonybing has been doing reviews of characters on YouTube. He's been giving them a tier list ranking at the end.

Some of his ratings have been questionable though imo. I don't think tier lists in general are super useful for this game because of how different the various modes are, plus most of us have pretty different rosters. And you also have to keep in mind whether characters can be starred up easily or not; Kingpin is amazing but mine is only 2* and will probably stay 2* for a while because of how hard his node is, and that severely limits his potential when the rest of my A team is 5* or higher.

But his calls on units are actually pretty accurate.

King pin doesn't need stars. Not in the way others need stars. You aren't bringing him in for the damage, you are bringing him in for his buffs and overall utility. He still has truckloads of health at 2*.

Even khasinos tier list has some questionable calls in it because it was made by 3 or 4 people on a stream over 10 hours.

This actually wouldn't surprise me: There's no way to Bing up your builds like there was in Malboro Heatons. He can't spend all of his points on useless levels of survivability because everyone is built the same way.

Once you drop down to the simple cesspool of gaming that is the mobile platform, you're right at Bing's sweet spot. I've gotta believe he's very well suited to this arena.

Zotix

I don't know his history with Marvel Heroes. However, I've looked at his tier ranking for most heroes, and it's right about where the other big names are placing heroes. The big thing with the game is figuring out where each unit is usable.

Deadpool event ends tomorrow according to the notice I just got. I may have enough by end of tomorrow to get him but I only started with 66 Deadpool token things so I think I just got unlucky. I hope the events don't rotate this quickly in the future. Most of their playerbase won't be able to unlock him until whenever the next version of this event comes along or if next weekend is also a similar event. Rumor has it it's Cable. It seems so different than the Thanos event.

I sure hope so. It was a push notification so perhaps it was a bug? It did say Deadpool ends tomorrow though. I originally thought it was about Wolverine but it wasn't. Or I'm dumb.

Edit: I do see in game says 20d so ignore me I guess.

The full event goes on for 20 days, but you can only open raids on weekends.

So does anyone know the secret to when/how/why that little needle on blitz for to 'danger'? Cause I did my first tier 1 fight for orb blitz with a scrub team and the next fight I was getting the danger warning.
