I'm surprised I haven't heard one way or the other about whether or not Hyperion's rework made him any better/how much better. I have no idea, because he was at 1* for me until last week.

I've been doing WBU at Level 1 the entire time, as I understood that there's no difference in prizing for making it harder to get through, so I'm not sure why anyone would do that. Is there a max level for it and a prize at the end?

the difference is minor but its not zero. you should instead do it at the highest level that you can steamroll, which will be constantly increasing cos your raid level will go up.

OK so is Sharog's new costume worth it? The "tier list" on Reddit has her at the top with it, but she was already up there with the old costume and level 60, so I don't know if the costume bumped her, 70 bumped her, or together they're great

e: seeing that it's a bump in damage done but no extra survivability, will still grab I guess

I'm debating on who to get to 4/20 from the premium characters next, and my options are: Killmonger, Ironheart, Ghost Panther, Carnage, Crescent and Kid Kaiju.

i read somewhere that it also makes her damage less physical and more energy, which is probably true, cos she does massively more damage to black dwarf

Carnage is good if you don't have Apocalypse for combat villain. I haven't used the rest much but Killmonger is Wolverine without the absurd regeneration and can get you bonuses in the BP cinematic battles, and Ghost Panther is universal so helps with UWB valor I think.

I have tier 2 carnage and honestly I would skip him. He was great back when he released but I hardly ever use him anymore. Even in ABX he feels weak.

Yeah, i think Carnage is outdated. I'd arguably put Sandman above him with combat villains and probably Dark Beast as well. That's off the top of my head but both are farmable.

I have Apoc right now, so I guess i'll do Ghost Panther because I have shards of his left over from the event so it won't take long.

And that list was specifically the characters that I have outstanding, if I didn't list them they're already t2 most likely. I wish this game had a site where you could have your roster available for people to see like Galaxy of Heroes.

He has great survivability but his damage just isn't there, I usually burn him on a lower SL

Oh that would be useful yes.

Also I'm not sure what they're talking about because her uniform also gives an extra 10% damage reduction so maybe it's the change in 3? Though looks like 3c is still the way to go for the shield?

Either way I forgot the sale was over so I'm going to wait, hoping for a New Years sale

Yeah, I'm out of practice with Sharon. She only really got use for me lately in like a low/mid 20s Shadowland stage if I used a lot of blasters earlier. I got her to 70/4/25 and just new a few T3 resources to get her upgraded. I just didn't get the costume before the sale ran out but I'm sure there will be another one soon enough. I took her for a spin in WBU and she did more damage it seemed but was still kind of soft and the Physical/Energy split makes her kind of bad for WBU.

Eh I use her if I'm feeling a little dangerous, but I also only bother with rank 1 unless I'm pushing, in which case I'm using Cap anyway (or I guess Thor now, since I FINALLY got him to 3 and he can be my energy boi)


Unrelated, man, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm on 29 SL with Luna and just can't beat the first round. Even using HB as leader (no other +damage% dudes left) and Shuri on the team, one guy is always left with a sliver of health at 1:00.

I just maxed all her skills and I'll retool her urus but I was able to clear last reset with her, Shuri, and Strange as my 3rd, so I guess it's just a team damage issue at this point. Maybe I can get her to 62 before reset.

e: Re: her split, honestly at this point I just do CG with 3 20% ignore strikers so I don't even need to think about it

While we are on uniform talk, Miles' new uniform makes him very, very good. Like, IW Spidey good. Makes a poo poo-tier character into a badass just like the did with Bucky and Widow and their IW updates. Given the new End Game trailer's reveal of Ronin it looks like Hawkeye mey be next to get the poo poo to great treatment!

Hey all,

I have always liked this game but due to some ex-gf issues in life most of my games and accounts are gone. I have recreated my MFF account under the name of SuperWyrm and applied to Doctor Goons. Could I get in if possible? Seemed like only Marble Hebrons and Doctor Goons were still active.

Thanks for keeping the thread and discussion alive. Been reading the last 60ish pages and this game still seems to rock pretty well after all this time. Suprising all the new content they've added in, def not the norm for cel phone games.

Just tried it. He's ok but not top tier. The changes that the costume makes on the 2 skills are a pretty big deal, especially on 4 since that seems to be the main damage dealer.

I personally wouldn't waste too much time on him without the costume.

T3 Sharon without the new costume seems fun. I took down Ebony at 20 with her. Took a little while but the 6 does good damage so my strategy was mostly just to recharge and stay alive for that. Didn't have luck on 29 but that's probably expecting a lot. I'll have to take her for a spin against Corvus and Dwarf and see how she does. And maybe Thanos but I usually avoid him.

So they have chance up on the CTP packs and Card packs. Foolishly I didn't look at the odds before trying (the cards have worse odds than the custom gears.)

I gambled 4 times and I got the GoTG premium card (Best Story Ever). Disappointed that it's not a part of any collection for free stat pumps.

As a Level 60 Tier 1 she can handle most of the later levels of Shadowlands. I imagine at T2 she would be insane.

I have her at t2 but I haven't really tried any of the high 20's with her. She can easily handle anything up to that though. She's pretty mediocre in timeline and can do early WBU stuff. Those clones of hers that she gives to allies are pretty useless. Overall she's probably slightly better than Magik, and worse than X-23. I don't remember what mutants you need the x-gene sub for and I never got Gambit so I can't really say who might make better use of them.

Waifu Hex is pretty solid in basically everything, except PVP and Energy WBU. I don't know why she gets wrecked in pvp, but she does. And I find her against Maw a lot of her attacks don't do anything, even though they're all labeled energy.

Hey, Hyperions pretty good now. I took him for a ride with Vision on a low teen Shadowland and he demolished the floor. It was a low teen universal relay that Vision was supposed to handle so nothing huge but I only have him at 4/17 and he was basically an unkillable bulldozer just mashing buttons. I imagine a properly worked up and played one could do some damage.

Ironically I voted for Vision because he was easier to work up and was annoyed at you privileged folks voting for the pay character I didn't have T2ed. Guess that worked out.
