Quality matters a lot less than maxing SCD, and then maxing Ignore Defense, which is what cards are for. So your first goal is to make sure you have SCD on every card as a secondary.

Primary stats you're looking for AA best, then ID, then SCD. The rank doesn't matter at all tbh.


The Loki #2 has SCD as a fixed 5.1% then energy attack and ID as the primary rank-dependent attributes meaning I have +11% on both of those plus 5.1% SCD from Loki #2. I can roll All Attack as one of the secondary options but the max ID and Energy Attack seem nice. For the GotG All Attack is the rank-based primary with SCD and ID available as secondaries so I think that one is definitely worth re-rolling.

You can boil it down even more, honestly. What you're looking on for each card is the ability to roll "the trifecta," which is AA/ID/SCD. Most cards will have one of these as a fixed affix. Loki has 2, which is why it rules.

So really you start with 1 fixed stat, and you want to roll a secondary on each of your cards. You do this first because it's statistically exponentially easier than taking a 2 affix card and going for 3.

Basically once all your cards have 2/3 trifecta, you start working towards getting trifecta on all 3 cards. Took me years I think.

The only caveats are you really need to keep your SCD maxed, and not all cards are capable of rolling trifecta

That's pretty helpful, thanks! I've been trying to decide on some stupid easy rule to simplify my decisions and this works.

Lol, exactly the same here; what really sucks is I have a poo poo ton of 4* and 5* tickets, so if I could get her to 3* I'd be set.

All the 6* characters they are giving out, I've already got at 6*, if not T2. What do you get in that case? Or is it just basically a no-prize?

I'm fine with the Epic Quest. I'm over 50% in a couple of days. I'm not gonna get it all done right away but that's why its "Epic." I'm content to just make as much progress as I can every day after doing all my daily stuff.

I think I'm weird but I kind of like those. Like, they convinced me to chill out and not feel so needy to finish it as fast as possible. Now I'm just doing what I can easily each day and moving on. I'm at "Rank up Domino" and like, I figure I'll just take 5 days and collect her bios and save the tickets. I'll get Deadpool eventually.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

Oh something that I learned from the Reddit Whales. DP costs 1200 Cosmic Cube Fragments (plus other stuff) to Tier 3.
So if you were considering T3ing somebody else bear that in mind.

Like I nearly have all the mats to Tier 3 Thor. (At 720 CC fragments and 9/10 Books.) But I have to factor in how much of a pain it will be to grind 1200 of those fragments for Deadpool.

I’m in a pickle with T3 because I have Cap and I feel like my next T3 should be an energy attack character but I’m not really into Thor or Ironman.

Somehow with all the extra bonuses I rocketed to around 800 energy so I was able to just blow away all the missions that have bios I want and finish the mission

Now I need 1200 stones uggggh

Yeah, when I hit that stage I just cashed in all the energy I had in my inbox and it worked out to be nearly 1000. I ended up burning 500 on the spot to finish that one. That was kind of the moment I was like "ok, maybe I need to just relax and let this stuff come when it comes."

Used that to blast though stuff in the first few days. I liked getting Colossus bios from this quest, as now I only need about 60 to get him to t2, but I am not subbing to get them because I don't need the rest, so it is such a waste of money.

You can get Colossus bios from his X-Force missions now. Its only 3 a day max but its something to eventually get him to 4/20 now that those dropped ones got him close.

He shows up as a striker for both Stupid X-Men missions so you can get 6 a day. Also if it's like Clea you can force quit the game at the start if he doesn't show up and it will not count towards your play count.

He is a Shifter not a guaranteed drop from his Stupid X-men mission. Apparently you can get up to 8 a day if you keep resetting the missions (Stupid X-men and Pylocke Deluxe) until he shows up as a shifter. At least according to the reddit thread, I haven't had the patience to try to get 8 a day.

Ah. I just did the Colossus ones and even though it was Fantomex shifting I was getting Colossus ones and then I did Psylocke and got none so I just kind of assumed.

Either wait its a way to get Colossus a few at a time so the goal is just to treat him like Clea and keep auto-running those every day instead of auto-clearing.

I can't be bothered to force quit or spend crystals to recharge for him. I'll just add it to my daily schedule and eventually he'll get there.

Luckily I'm at 20/19/19/19 so hopefully that doesn't take too long. Hearing how great Psylocke is has convinced me to get that pack as soon as I have enough crystals. At 6,125 now and trying to level up dudes to Level 60 as quickly as possible to get more.

Yeah I'm in no rush. I'll do Deadpool, Fantomex, and Domino all the regular way. When they're all done hopefully I'll have Colossus at 4/20 and I'll use a ticket. Then maybe I'll have saved up enough for Psylocke or buy a pack. I'm only at 1000 right now so it will be awhile, but I'm not gonna worry about her until the others are done.
