My current crop of t3s are cap, Carol, spidy, Jean, Sharon Rogers and Luna if that helps. I'll probably do strange then as I still haven't gotten Reed to +25 on all his gear.

No Deadpool? He's top tier for every mode. He's especially useful for world bosses and timeline, since when paired with Colossus, Jean can't kill him.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Off the top of my head I'd rank my T3s:

Marvel > Deadpool > Fantastic > Luna > Sharon > Cap > Thor > Magneto > Panther > Iron Man > Spidey

I just got Cyclops T3rd. He's wearing the old Age of Apocalypse costume and I find him kind of soft outside of the kill beam. I took him for a spin against Ebony 1 in WBU where the beam was useless but once I got the T3 skill charged it killed Ebony real quick. I think with the Phoenix Five costume he might be really strong maybe at least around Sharon/Luna level. Sure, you lose the kill beam but from what I've used of him in World Event and Danger Room it seems worth the trade off for the extra skills.

I have Strange, Wolverine, Jean, Thanos, and Ant-Man all at 4/25. Its just a matter of getting the fragments and I never have the will power to wait. It will be tough resisting T3ing Ant-Man if a new "cheap" option hasn't come along by then like Cyclops did. But I'm sure there will be someone.

The next MCU film isn't until Black Widow in May so its a crapshoot who will get the rub between now and then. I look forward to T3 Shang Chi and Jane Foster in 2021.

Oh yea I have Deadpool too.

And yea i'm curious what the next few months are going to have because there aren't any really major characters missing, the biggest one I can name off the top of my head is Spider-Woman.

AHHHH, okay, I was going to ask who I should join. The X-Men, on the grounds that the Inhumans were always kinda stupid even though Ms. Marvel is cool? Or the Inhumans, on the grounds that everyone prefers the X-Men?

I was offered only X-Men, but when I clicked them they said oh no an Inhuman spy has made it so I can't join the X-Men. It asked if I wanted to join Inhumans instead, so I said no. It took me back to the selection screen with only Inhumans choosable this time. It was 51% inhumans v 49% X-Men.

As for new T3s and new characters I could see Professor X being added. Carnage may get a T3 since he has an event going and there are plenty of symbiotes to add as new chars or costumes. Mr. Sinister is one of the last big x-villains to add, with Nimrod and the phalanx. I'm still holding out hope for an Immortal Hulk patch with hulk T3 and some new chars/costumes. A mojoverse event with Mojo, Spiral, Longshot, Shatterstar, and any number of x-baby costumes could be fun too if they decide to go there but there's no synergy with anything at the moment, it's just one of my old favorites.

MODOK's in the game, Prof X isn't too much different. Give him his shi'ar hoverchair or whatever, then just have him zip around holding his fingers to his forehead while mindbeams hit the enemy and you're all set, new blast T3. You can even add a 1 second animation to the beginning and end of combat of it all taking place on the astral plane or something ala Legion, but I don't think it needs to go that far. I just watched Dark Phoenix which had him in the big fights a couple of times, though he mostly did crowd control.

Going by YouTube, Illyana and Namor's costumes will either be trash or game-breaking, and if you have a preference just wait.

So it won't be long until I can complete one of the epic quests - either Wolverine, Dr. Strange, or Deadpool. I'm on the "3 rank 6 black anti-matter" step for all of them, and I don't think there's anything significant besides that left for finishing them (and this is confirmed for Deadpool). Grinding up the gold to do the BAM stuff (and maybe the BAM itself; might not have enough Rank 1 ones for 9 Rank 6's) takes a while, but I'm getting somewhat close to getting 3 (getting 1 from a Deadpool quest was a nice boost).

I'm leaning towards Deadpool or Dr. Strange, since both are already pretty strong and I have their costumes (since I read they were strong with them). I like Dr. Strange a bit more as a character, but I already have a couple strong T2 Blast guys (Iron Man and Psylocke). Spider-man is my only T2 speed person, so Deadpool might make more sense from a gameplay perspective.

Deadpool is definitely my favorite out of them, especially at T3. Strange is the easy 2nd and Wolverine is meh but a solid roster pick when you're still growing.

Illyana may have been dissapointing, but Kitty is pretty good at T2. She was able to take down WBU PM and CG. Well, she died to PM but that was more due to me not being careful to avoid her instant no warning death spikes.

Yeah, all 3 would probably be valuable to you at this stage but Deadpool's definitely the best of the bunch. Strong speed characters are plentiful in the game but Deadpool's the best and one of the best physical attackers. Very valuable in both World Boss and Timeline. Its probably not your concern at this stage but he's carrying me in Timeline this week with like every other one of my weapons banned.

Do you have Magneto at T2? The only reason it's not a slam dunk for Deadpool is if you can get to Jean Grey soon and get her operational, but they are both extremely useful in every game mode. Deadpool wasn't great for me until he hit T3 though, whereas Jean is overpowered at 60 and 70.

Yeah, that's true. Wolverine gets you closer to Jean. Its the only reason I'd give him the bump, if you're willing to spend/save for Magneto. Those three could arguably be more valuable at a lower/mid level even though Deadpool is the no brainer end game choice.

Its hard to really go wrong with the call, even if you just ignore game and go for your favorite. All of them should be of SOME use. There was a time I relied heavily on Strange and Wolvie.

The only native T2 I've gotten nothing out of is Supernova, and I vaguely remember the previous thread or reddit praising her as a striker when she popped out and did her best skill.

Liking the chars goes a long way to add to your enjoyment of the game when they aren't completely terrible. I'm torn on T3ing Luna because I don't like her, she's not from the comics (though she has her own now I guess), and she's good enough as is for the tiers of WBU I farm. But she probably is the most powerful of my options. I'm delaying my choice by saving up the 1600 ccf for Thanos and hoping someone new and cool comes out instead.

Yeah, I have Falcon to rank #7 and have invested a ton of resources into him even though her provides me almost no game benefit. And I don't regret it at all.

I'm also always championing Mr. Fantastic and even though I legitimately think he's top tier I can't deny that its also my FF childhood fanboyism. I'm also planning to work the rest of the FF up to 70 next just because. And I keep using Thing in WBU even though there are better options. Its a game and I like them.

Nope. Doesn't she require T2 for all the Wolverine epic quest X-men characters? The full list of level 60+ T2s (no T3s) I have is:

Captain America
Captain Marvel
Iron Man
Psylocke
Spider-man
Sharon Rogers (obviously)

I'm nowhere close to getting any T3s and basically just trying to build a roster of good T2s. On the non-epic quest front, I'm currently trying to get Luna Snow and Gambit to T2.

STAC Goat

Butt first, let's

Jean requires Magneto, Wolverine, Rogue, Cyclops, Storm, and Beast at T2, yeah. But they're all actually pretty easy to T2 in the big picture without using tickets. The Tracking Missions give out 1:1 bios and you always cap out on mutant resources anyway so you might as well use them. The costly part is getting Magneto, but once you do you get a ton of his bios too and can T2 him fairly quickly if you just do the missions each day.

That was more of a no brainer when they first showed up and they were the only X-Men/mutants in the game. So like there was literally nothing you could do with Phoenix Feathers or the crystals except T2 them. Now there's tons of other, better mutants plus the Level 70 enhancements so the math is different but Jean's still one of the top tier characters and is ultimately worth it. And the rest are all good enough to like help you in Shadowland or something.

But you should definitely do what you'll get the most fun out of. Strange will undoubtedly be a big player for you with that lineup if that's the route you choose, even if long run there's less pros from him than the other two.

Although the fact that you already have Psylock at T2 also adds the variable that getting Deadpool to T2 gets you close to Stryfe. I think that requires Cable T2? That might take you awhile but he'd be another asset. Like I said, you can't really make a wrong choice here.

Yeah cyke rogue beast storm magneto all T2 for Jean so that's a ways off. Deadpool, Luna and Gambit all look good based on your list then. If you have the crystals for a costume during this sale or next, consider Winter Soldier too, to help round out your team. He's cheap since he's an early story character, and is really good with an infinity war costume.

I do the same with Ronin's 4. I think its faster and takes a little less dancing, but they're pretty close. I just give Ronin the slight edge.

Widow's probably a little more dancing and button combination so she's probably 3.

I fortunately have the X-men epic quest upgrade thingy, and as a result I have a metric fuckton of Magneto x-genes. Magneto and Psylocke X-genes have basically funded the leveling up of World Boss characters (though only to 40 for now, since I obviously need the BAM for epic quests).

Man, getting Jean leveled is quite the job of work. I wish they could just let me have Biometrics for her since if I get like a selector for 100 that's where they go. It would just save some time, since those Hydro Mans or whatever I pick are just going to keep pushing her up to 60 anyway.

at level 1 you get 7-22 ccfs, at 30 you get 9-27, and thats where it tops out. it doesnt seem like much but it does add up, thats around 25% more ccfs. plus drops from the reward chests but im not sure how much they increase
