no, you dont need to grind, you just bang out your 3 minute pass and leave it at that. you can retry it if you want but i wouldnt bother

Weird, I didn't get points for it. Maybe because I started my run with 50 seconds left on the timer and went all 3 minutes? I'll try the next round if I remember and see if it goes any better.

The ranking system is dumb and smells of butts.
I have a T3 Captain Marvel, Mythic Uniform, all awakened Iso set, CTP of Destruction and all her Enchanted Urus are at Legendary Level.
She is unranked.
Like the game is saying "oh yeah. Literally hundreds of thousands of people have her that well equipped. Best grind for those bullshit World Raid drops to really get her up to speed. "

Its astonishing.

It's an extra 20% boost against every other type once you get her type enhancement maxed out, though. It's a fairly big leap.

Oh I know it's big when you max it out.

The problem is it requires you to do a terrible game mode, rely on getting the right drop (which you can't combine lower level ones to make a higher one) and then pray to RNG Jesus that it will succeed.

It's such a terrible system that they locked CTP behind it in the new Legendary Battle modes.

I checked it a while ago and it said 3 hours to go (2h59m). I set an alarm for 2 hours 50 minutes in the future.

It starts (I believe) every 6 hours and runs for 1 hour. I'm in central time, and it starts at 6am, noon, 6pm and (probably) midnight. I turned on notifications for it yesterday, but for some reason I'm not getting those, so I dunno if that's working.

EDIT: I got my alerts for the noon event.

I feel like they're changing the time between them regularly. I don't know if that's a bug and they just keep readjusting or if its the actual point to have it "random". But every time I've tried to time it out and figure out the pattern it seems to change. Because if its every 6 hours at 12 and 6 now it DEFINITELY wasn't that two days ago when I did it at 2 and 10.

Late to the game here but I have a few newbie Qs:

Uniforms. As a general rule of thumb do you wait for a sale on the shop? Are there other ways of obtaining uniforms?

Do the 6* rank ups work on X-Gene muties? I unknowingly used the ones I had on normal heroes. Not sure why they had to be racist mutant hating nazis and made it so painful to farm X-gene heroes specifically.

Which SA alliance is most active? I applied to Marble Hebrons but if there is another that is more active and has room let me know. Username is "Xforce X23", feel free to send friend request.

Sales are relativly often and is absolutely the time to buy buy buy. The only other way to get them is very rarely older ones get sold for gold.


Bump rankups (so ex. 5* to 6*) work on everyone so should of course be kept for the characters that are hardest to level.

E: on second thought I dont remember if they work on naturally T2 chars

The * rankup tickets don't work for natural T2s (which makes sense since the T2 is already technically a 6*) or their uniforms (which is a crock of poo poo as those uniform requirements SUCK)

Sales happen super regularly so just wait for one. My guess is we'll get a big costume right after the current Endgame one ends for the Anniversary. If not wait a few weeks and they'll be a new update and sale. We'll get some patriotic one that puts Cap costumes on sale for Memorial Day and then one for the next Spidey movie and so on and so on and so on.

What’s the best way to grind xp?

I’ve got a stock pile of about 3.5k crystals, would buying uniforms or saving for the X-men epic quest reward upgrade be my better bet if I’ve only been playing a month?

Best xp for characters is the highest level special mission you can do, though you can only do 20 a day without paying for a reset. After that, the high level xgene/bio tracking missions from X-Men, Deadpool and Fantastic Four give decent xp. Everything else either costs too much or restricts you to too few uses a day. I can usually get a character from 50 to 60 in a few days of special missions and rogue/beast/storm/etc with my extra energy. If you are in a hurry you can buy an xp doubler for a day from the alliance store but I think its like 500,000 gold worth of tokens.

I'd say save for Magneto to unlock him and Jean Grey since they will probably do the most for you out of the crystal epic quest unlocks (Psylocke and Strife are good but not Jean good, ditto Invisible Woman and Doom). The costumes can be game changers but that is usually once you already have a bunch at T2. That said, there's no hurry so if you are having fun and aren't too worried about being optimal buy whatever you want that looks cool.

I get all my XP from running the bios missions in the Epic Quests. There's 8 of them by 10. Even on auto clear that levels up my characters.

You can also go into your Alliances store and but an XP booster.

The new Agent system let's you put points into getting extra XP. You can buy that, level characters then respec it to extra gold.

Supposedly on Reddit they are saying you can redeem the code any time up until the 30th of June.
But once you do redeem the code you only have two days to use the token.

Suggestions are yo wait to see if there are any new updates before July and if so get a brand new character at Tier 2 with this token.

If you’re on iOS and back up your game data to Facebook, you can get the ticket via an android emulator like Bluestacks or Nox. I used Bluestacks since Nox sometimes triggers false positive virus or spyware alerts.

Here’s a full tutorial:

Log in to facebook from the game on your iphone or iPad.

Then downlod the game on bluestacks and do the tutorial.

Note: you may need to restart Bluestacks before the google play store will let you download marvel future fight.

On bluestacks after you finish the tutorial go to settings and connect to the same facebook account you used earlier.

A message will pop up asking if you want to use the progress saved on your facebook account (confirm)

The game will automatically restart and will load your account then you can redeem the code from Settings > Coupon

Optional: redeem T2 character

Close Bluestacks and reopen app on iOS device and your T2 character or ticket will be there waiting for you.

Video tutorial starts at around 55 seconds:

I would think Marvel wouldn't want that since its just free advertisement for a competitor when you'd think they're probably gonna start over with the X-Men. And we didn't really get anything for Deadpool 2 as I recall.

Then again we don't really know and there's at least Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds that is a strong enough property to want to keep going as is. And maybe the game developer does it on their own. So who knows?

I was under the mistaken impression that what remains of Fox still owned the distribution rights to the film, but Wikipedia says otherwise.

Still, its not MCU and I imagine Disney/Marvel still don't know exactly what they want to do with that so I wouldn't expect a ton of synergy or anything. But what do I know? I was clearly just proven wrong.

It came out in like August whereas Deadpool 2 came out in May. But Future Fight was in the middle of their big anniversary / Infinity War events so the delay wasn't too surprising. This time there shouldn't be much going on so I bet they will do at least a minor x-men event since there's still a month until Far From Home hits after that. Unless they really get random it should be a spoilery Endgame part 2 release in May, Dark Phoenix in June, then Spidey in July.

Rogue's already pretty good, so I'm hoping one of the other ones wins it. One of the other ones that isn't a Nazi.


Also - the Tier 2 Mega Advancement Ticket in the Event Shop. This isn't as limited as a Selector, right? You can use one of these on just about anyone, including paywall jerks, right?

If you go to the Costume option and All, click on the arrange section and arrange by cost. All the gold costumes will come up at the top as the cheapest.

As for a Mega Tier 2 you can use it on anybody. A paywall, a norm, Antiman, Arachknight, Sabertooth, etc... (Anyone who isn't a native Tier 2.)

If the character is six stars, it will make them Tier 2.
If you are using it on somebody (like a new character) if you use it when they are level 1 and six stars (no mastery) it will ding them to 60 and give them six mastery stars.
