HERE IS A TIER-2 SELECTOR.

Awesome!

IT CAN'T BE USED WITH ANYBODY YOU WOULD WANT TO USE IT FOR. ALL PAINS IN THE rear end WILL REMAIN PAINS IN THE rear end.

Well, okay, then.


Maybe it's just so everyone who's ignored Hawkeye forever can level him up in a jiffy once the new uniform comes.



Also, "Ultimate Characters" are on the list. Is that Blue Marvel/Anti-Man etc.? Or is that Miles Morales and somebody else?

Butt first, let's

Blue Marvel, Anti-Man, and Nova are the "Ultimates" you can only get through the lab or pay.

Yeah, the T2 selector kind of sucks unless you were sleeping on a new character or it lasts until the next update. But I doubt it will. I don't have a single eligible character who isn't at least at 4/20.

They should make it last until the next update and then not release any new characters in it. :evilbuddy:

You can't really, expect when you go to use it and see your options. They just list who you can't use it on.

http://forum.netmarble.com/futurefight_en/view/2517/1508967

quote:

* There are characters that are not obtainable by using a Selector: Tier-2 or Selector: 6★. The characters are listed below:
* Get 20 Biometrics Daily Exclusive Characters
* Get 20 X-Genes Daily Exclusive Characters
* Native Tier-2 Characters
* Selector: X-Gene Exclusive Characters
* Epic Quest Characters (Magneto, Psylocke, Invisible Woman)
* Heroic Quest Exclusive Characters (Arachknight, White Fox)
* Special Mission Exclusive Characters (Gwen Pool, Vulture, Inferno)
* Secret Wars: A-Force Characters (Singularity, Sister Grimm, She-Hulk)
* Ultimate Characters
* Emma Frost, Sabretooth

So you can use it on Story Mission people, Special Mission people, and those random characters who show up only available through random bio selectors. Most recently that was Morgan Le Fey, Korak, and Dr. Minerva.

Debating whether to blow 2500 on Sabretooth with Endgame coming up. Might as well do it now while I've got a few weeks to build back up, I guess, and apparently he's pretty good.

I've still got Yondu, Crossbones and the Warriors Three at 4*. I think I'll use mine on Nebula though since presumably she can then be jumped to 70 and maybe she'll get a T3 (lol) if it follows Infinity Gauntlet at all. I'm slacking on the Guardians so I guess they are options as well. Everyone but Groot is still T1.

Keep in mind he'll need another 1250 crystals per 160 xgenes to max his gear. One of the follow up packages got me to 20/18/15/15. He's solid at T1 but apparently really great at T2/70.

Nightcrawler's fine. He's like unkillable and can just button mask a Rumble in Shadowland into the low 20s. With his costume and some damage ISOs/Urus I imagine he could be pretty solid.

I don't find X-23 that impressive either. But they kind of both end up on my middle tier of speed characters where I just want to make sure to use them in Shadowland before they stop being effective.

As I've said, if Endgame sticks to the "one T3, the rest Level 70" formula I think its Thanos for T3 and Hawkeye, Nebula, Hulk, Vision?, Gamora?, Drax?, Falcon?, Shuri?, Wong?, and anyone I forgot who is in MCU or might be new (I'm kind of expecting Pepper Potts/Rescue or someone like that).

If they want to make it special then I could see Thanos, Black Widow, and Hawkeye/Ronin all getting the T3 bump. I'd be surprised with the rest. Maybe Hulk? But everyone else seems too secondary. Barring an unexpected/new character.

Hawkeye's a cheap upgrade anyway so I'd definitely T2 him in anticipation of him at the very least getting the Level 70/costume bump the Infinity War costumes gave out.

That would make sense. The fifth anniversary update will also be around the same time so they might do a big Endgame update and then a big Anniversary one or something.

I have no idea who is gonna die or live but at some point that poo poo's just out of the bag and if you want to not be spoiled you get your rear end to a movie theater and you most certainly don't play a video game linked to the movie. And I say that as someone who respects spoilers and who usually doesn't see these films in the theater but is debating catching Captain Marvel some afternoon soon so I can see Endgame because I know if I go more than like 2 weeks tops after Endgame's release there's no loving chance I don't get spoiled.

Scuba Trooper

Yeah, but to spoil it in a tie-in video game? Yeah, everyone’s coming back (hell im hoarding mysterio shards for the inevitable far from home uniform), but I doubt they’ll be so brazen when they’re not even showing footage outside the first act for trailers

Eh. I mean, we're gonna get a Ronin costume and that's basically a spoiler. And if there's any new characters we'll probably get them even though that would be a spoiler. It would be weird if the game told us last act stuff but like I'm not sure updating the dead people and assuming they'll show back up somehow is really that much of a spoiler. I mean, I have no idea what's happening in the film I just always assumed Marvel didn't kill half its cast with a finger snap especially since most of them have movies and tv shows coming out soon.

Then again they all do have movies and tv shows coming down the line so even people like Vision, Falcon, Shuri, and Wong will get chances to get be upgraded eventually. I guess its just a question of how big they want the update to be, but for all we know they've got a dozen new characters and a massive new game mode or something.

Thanos T3, Hawkeye/Ronin, Hulk, Nebula. Those are the only things I'm really confident about.

edit: My wildcard, totally out of my rear end prediction is that when they bring Wanda and everyone else back they'll bring Quicksilver back and make them mutants now that they own that poo poo. So then the two of them will get T3 bumps and WBU mode. But I'm completely just making that poo poo up.

The last Dimension Rift event was QS and SW. So people think that means they are working on that boss fight and possibly giving it a WBU mode.
I'd love it if Supergiant is in this movie so she can get a costume.

Based on those "Avenge the Fallen" posters we might (slim chance) get a Valkyrie costume.

Man. So do I blow the 6* Selector on Hawkeye and bank on the Ronin look being good?

I have Nebula at 5*, but my Hawkeye's only at 3, so I'd get the most buck-bang there.

I've got Spider-Gwen, Jane Foster, Yondu at 5
Warpath, Heimdall, Black Cat, Whiplash, Gamora at 4
Shang-Chi, Yellowjacket, Miles, Angela, Cho, Silk, Kamala at 3
Singularity and Nico at 2.

HMMM.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Hawkeye is a main story char so he needs less and you can get 30 a day from missions. That said if you jump him to 6* you can start taking him to T2. The other chars you are missing don't seem too exciting either. Spider-Gwen is the current best character in that list from my experience, with Heimdall being a solid second who is survivable but doesn't do much damage. Judging from using them in SL. Singularity is worth the most with the rarest bios and the most required to hit 6* for you but she probably isn't an option from the selector?

The regular crystal sink event is out where they want you to blow all your crystals before they add new content for Endgame. Since they also added a huge gold sink (3 mil per day just for the gold chests?) I wonder if the Endgame event will use gold as well...

Warpath is good. I'm not sure how good since I'm still working him up but he's cleared every challenge I've put in front of him easily.

Miles is really, really good with his Spiderverse costume. Maybe a top or second tier character.

Kamala's pretty good with her costume too.

But yeah, I wouldn't use the selecter on Hawkeye since he's cheaper than the rest. Just farm his missions ever day and you'll have him at T2 by Endgame.

Ugh, I used my 6* selector on Hulkling when I should’ve used the T2 selector on him to expedite the New Avengers quest pack. Sigh.

And STAC, I know you’ve speculated on this like several posts above, but Hulk can already realize his potential. He got level 70 with Infinity War. I presume we’re gonna get Sword Thanos with T3 for him with the Endgame update.

Yeah, I always just kind of forget about Hulk getting the 70 bump because he didn't get an Infinity War costume. I do expect him to get an Endgame costume with Hawkeye and probably the rest of the living "Avengers". And to that end if they want to hit us with a bunch of T3s I would assume he'd be with Black Widow and Hawkeye as likely options before folks like Nebula, Rocket, and War Machine.

I have literally no one I can use the 6* selector on so its just a matter of who I want 256 bios of. And I have everyone at either T2 or 4/20/150 bios. So... I guess I'll see who needs a costume upgrade? Ah well.

go into a character's profile and click their avatar on the bottom right with the plus sign (I think, going off of memory). That will display where you can get bios for that character. If you can get them from 3+ story missions a day, probably not worth using a selector on.
