The final stage of the Hard Ant-Man campaign is such a leap in difficulty. I 3-starred all the rest but I can't even clear this one. Rocket Raccoon + Groot is such a deadly combo.

I 3*'ed the last one in one try but have 2*ed the 6th level four times in a row.

If it helps at all, I switched Quake out for NN on the last one because I figured I had aunt man's slow already. Hold onto it until the second wave pops up.

I just noticed that ant man has an avengers tag but wasp does not. Lol?

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

I 3*ed everything on my first attempt with Cap BW Yondu Gamora Quake for what it’s worth.

9 orbs minimum to unlock Antman at 2*, I think most people should get him before the event ends. You need to do Hard though since it has the guaranteed drops on first clear and drops more orb pieces than easy/medium. The text is kind of confusing; there’s zero reason to do easy or medium unless you’re a new player, jump straight to hard. I’m going to push for 3* and maybe more since he’s such a good character. 3 orb pulls so far and I’m at 30/45 shards.

2 orb pulls so far. 10 shards. It’s Thomas and DP all over again.

If you're shooting for a 5* ant man you need 62 pulls if you pull 5 shards each pull. 124,000 ant thingies is way too many.

Gooner in IAG, you've been three days out and we're trying to clear room for consolidation. You still playing? We currently have three pubbies to bolster ranks but semi-annoyingly 2 of them are consistently at the top of the raid board.

loving hell the SHIELD route on the raid sucks balls. Dropped my 50 energy and I have a sub 700k score. They really need to bolster how much that route costs. You're completely kneecapping yourself going that way compared to the easy 1mil I could get going a greedier route after 50 energy.

Eh the rewards for 100%ing the thing are close enough that it doesn't really matter.

RosaParksOfDip
May 11, 2009
Makes a difference over the long term though. Going a greedy route you can place in the 1-2 or 3-6, SHIELD route means you get the 7-12 or 13-24 pretty much guaranteed. So you're missing about 10 purple ability mats, 800 blue orbs and 600 purple orbs per run. All adds up.

Side note, Catmen you've got under 24 hours to sound off.

Temper your Thanos expectations. Unless your Alliance is 100% the level 60 raid, you're only getting Mega Orb fragments for rewards.
Which is better than nothing, to be sure, but you're probably not going to make much if any headway on Thomas.

One last time:

Just can’t stress enough how crucial discord is. First off, it’s awesome. Secondly, just like every marvel game goons do, the communities are bar none some of the best in SA. If you want to stay in the loop with what’s new, coming to the game, strategies, ask questions to get answers immediately or just want to make some friends, please join up. I’m going to promote the two discord’s:

https://discord.gg/tneWgZy --- The official Marvel Strike Force discord. A phenomenal community. This is a must join.

https://discord.gg/FpcuPXM --- A giant goon discord for Strike Force (the Hebrons are here and tons of you others in the official), other marvel games and other games period. If you want to sit in amongst a great community that has channels for many upcoming games (like Battlefield V, will do Monster Hunter PC) and other games that already are out, or just want to join some general chat or sports/current events talk, join up.

In about a week, I’m going to take over the OP, just right out from under Diabetic’s grip. I love you diabetes but we need more people to see this game. It’s incredibly fun, even if FoxNews has no idea how to get people to whale correctly.

Download Discord today on your PHONE or PC. Search the App Store on your phone to do it there. Pc is discordapp.com.

Everyone stresses the Discord.. what do you guy talk about in there that can't be discussed like.. here or in the in-game chat? I don't see the need for a secondary chat app outside of a game that has a guild chat feature and the forums.

ICR

We post pictures of stuff from the game. We type longer messages than what in game chat allows. Sometimes we hope for quick responses from folks if we need help or have an immediate question.

You get to just interact better if that’s something you want.

(No, you’re not required to have discord. You can do whatever you want! It’s just a strong suggestion and I only say that because I think all of us across the plethora of goon discord channels would agree that we have a lot of fun and have made some great friendships along the way).

That’s why I, me, this guy, advocates for it so much.

As you progress through the raids it becomes more important to communicate with one another (so you can plan out routes and the such). Discord makes this a lot easier since each alliance has its own sub channel to chat in. It’s fun to shoot the breeze there, since everyone there plays this silly phone game way too much and we’re all becoming a really tight knit and welcoming community in a way that isn’t really reflected by the posts in this thread.

Personally I find discord easier to check and read than the forums, and much easier to write on than in-game chat. Discord also allows raid leaders to alert members if raid progress is at like 99.8% and we just need someone to stare menacingly at the last node.

Still seems like a lot of effort for a silly phone game.

What's the deal with these mega-orbs that were given out? I got less than a full orb worth of bits and you can't exactly farm them.

They give you a lot of shards for one particular character and yeah, they're hard to come by.

No I'm aware of what mega orbs are, I was asking why some people got enough shards for full orbs and others didn't. I got like 1500 shards and a lot of other people got full orbs.

I believe depending on how well you did in the last Mordo blitz you got a certain amount of fragments. If you placed 1-10% you were guaranteed a Mega Orb. I didn't look much into it past that but I'd imagine placing lower would only get you a certain amount of fragments towards an orb.
