Rich Uncle Chet posted:Question for those that have played through the entire game: is it possible to beat the main story mode using pretty much anyone, or does the game require you to use the 'best' characters in the game? Good news for you; Star Lord's toolset makes him one of few characters who are able to use synergy attacks by himself through his whirlwind ability, and whirlwinds have some of the nicest Synergy Attacks in the entire game.

ihatepants posted:There is some power creep, where it seems like pretty much all the late-game characters are generally better than the early game ones, but I think you can play with any team you want and still beat the game. Also, good news, Star Lord is one of the better characters in the game and remains useful throughout because he has a whirlwind synergy. It’d be nice to see a wiki for each character at some point, because individual character stat growth matters more for higher difficulties/trials than it does for the campaign on mighty/friendly.

Just unlocked the purple arrow and he's really good, probably my favorite shoto right now, that piercing damage yo! Also, it's fun maximizing his first three shots with out triggering the fourth spread shot via roll cancel, so you're always dpsing optimally. Currently running, Ms Mahvel, Gwen, Bowguy, and Hulk. At first i didn't like hulk, but then i figured out you're supposed to chain his dodge and jump, he becomes a monster in battle. bushisms.txt fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jul 22, 2019 |

I may have missed it in the thread, but when I find a rift in story mode, do I need to go into it to add it to the Infinity Trials screen? I'd rather not disrupt the flow of the main game if I can avoid it.

This ultimo\giant man fight is really bad. I like having excuses to fight, but needing 4 players to pour on Ultimo during the stun phase is dumb as the more characters you lose, the longer it's gonna take.

The way they break off allowing damage on the boss between phases really hurts when it's the only time you can hurt him and hulk is doing the running man.

Those screen filling attacks are the worst part and the ai just eats them.

I kinda feel like this is one of those games where you're supposed to start on the easiest difficulty, then work your way up as you go and as you learn the ins and outs of individual characters and the synergy system. Definitely liking Elsa Bloodstone more than I expected to.

I just got to the Morales/Gwen/Ms. Marvel and they've eaten through rez tokens on the assholes I'm not controlling. If I so much as try to retaliate, even carefully it feels like the AI turns all 3 of them on the controlled character, my hits never stagger, but their hits always do. My 7 year old quit playing because he got angry before me. It's a fuckin superhero game! Who thought early-game fights being Dark Soulsy was a good idea? Guess we're stuffing the hubris and picking the 'easy' setting, even though the second (and only other) difficulty setting kind of implied it was 'normal' difficulty.

Here’s a list of what stat most characters basic attacks scale with. Some aren’t very intuitive(Psylocke’s scale with Strength for example) https://www.reddit.com/r/MAU3/comments/cglhyj/basic_attack_damage_types/

Dr. Strange is a really weird character. He plays completely different than everyone else in that he's mainly about CC instead of damage(which makes him really bad against bosses). Also he's not a ranged fighter like you'd think. Also I fought the Dr. Strange boss and found him really easy, but I had heard people complaining he was hard so I thought maybe I was overleveled? Then Phase 2 started.  Got him on the 2nd try though, same with the boss after him. Cool fights.

On another note, unlocked Loki and cleared Mighty difficulty yesterday. Now to level him up to use him in my main team. Oh, and on Dr. Strange, it was weird using him, but his light and heavy attacks (and Flames of Faltine) is what I use for bosses.

I assumed using chapter select would gently caress with things too much. If I replay like, chapter 2 while I'm on chapter 5, does that mean I can go back to 5 once I'm done and won't have to play ch.3/4 again?

How bout XP differences, anyone know bout that? I'm most of the way through Mighty, thinking about doing a run on easy for the true cosmic experience, see if I missed any stuff, and get some levels. Less inclined if the XP sucks tho. Game is a little clunky, but fun

XP and levels in this game are weird since there can be a 1 or 2 level difference in getting destroyed or doing fine in some sections. So far I've been doing ok cycling through a few characters constantly though I've quickly learned that when the game hands you a new character, you should put them in your team immediately since they'll likely be above your current levels and thus will be a big help for incoming fights. Psylocke is a loving monster for the entire X-men section mainly because her psychic knife ability might be one of the best Stagger damages in the whole game right now, and all her abilities are great. The Magneto battle I just barely won though since I'm an idiot and took too long to realize I needed to destroy Sentinels to get those cores to use against him.

Scylo posted:I decided to use all my xp cores to make my team over levelled and the game is much more fun for me now, Psylocke and Venom are destroying everything Venom Fang/Psychic Knife are two of the best synergy/stagger abilities in the game imo and they're "starter" moves too so they're probably 2 of the best characters to have. In a game where Stagger is important, Spider-Man's Bind stuff is more about mob control so I thought he was poo poo-tier, but controlling the other enemies is important too + his heavy attack is probably one of the fastest and safest in the game which can help plow through heavy enemies without spending Energy. Wish he had less Web moves but I made him my scrappy speedy brawler with ISO-8s for 10% increase in damage for Light/Heavy attacks; that's been working real well since he's one of the quickest attackers you can have. It's cool how you can eventually find a good niche even for characters who have weird movesets.

Wasp is my unexpected new fave because her abilities and kit are awesome and I constantly love to use the "gigantic fidget spinner" synergy attack. I upgraded a bunch of "health recovered after an Xtreme" pips into the upgrade screen and her Xtreme seems to net me the most health back.
