I've only recently been paying attention to Custom Gear/CTP and such. I'd like to take advantage of this discount to maybe optimize my dudes. I've got one Authority I haven't assigned yet. Currently, I have: T3 Jean with Destruction T3 Deadpool with Destruction Quicksilver with Destruction Sharon Rogers with Energy Shang-Chi with Energy Blue Marvel with Energy (L60 T1) Dr. Strange with Transcendence Ebony Maw with Transcendence (although he's only at Level 52 and won't be increasing for a while with low BAM and Surfer to deal with) Mysterio with Transcendence America Chavez with Transcendence Black Bolt with Transcendence Anti-Man with Transcendence (L60 T1) Ben Grimm with Refinement Rogue with Patience Thanos with Authority T3 Panther with GBI + Lightning Resist T3 Cap with GBI + Lightning Resist T3 Thor with Lightning Damage + Lightning Resist 70 Carol with a Guard Break immunity Gear 68 Reed with GBI + Critical Rate bonus Namor with GBI + Ignore Dodge Cyclops with a 72% Recovery Rate Magneto has Immune to Snare and Mind Resist Iron Man has Immune to Web and Lightning Resist Spider-Man has Immune to Web and Cold Resist Apocalypse has Ignore Defense 17% Wolverine has Immune to Web and Poison Resist Any thoughts on how I should rearrange these? I've got almost every non-paywall at T2 at this point (Kid Omega, Gorilla Man and Sword Master are 6-starred and in progress, as are the Crystal gang of Iceman and Sabes, with Surfer at 55, haven't sprung for Wave, Slapstick, Negasonic, Aero or Adam Warlock). Arachnknight, Weapon Hex, Nick Fury, Ghost Panther, Quasar, Nova, Luna Snow are all 6* 60 T1. Corvus Glaive is the only Black Order maxed up.

Huh. I was wondering why my phone was feeling real hot and the battery seemed to be draining faster the last week. Though it was just more evidence that I need to gift myself a new one for Christmas. I'm just glad they fixed that Assemble Points thing. Its so minor but it was driving me crazy.

You might want to ask on the discord or check on the reddit daily questions thread as there's probably a bunch of people in the same boat talking about it right now. I haven't seen much talk about CTPs in this thread. I need to look into it myself. I have energy on Cable and Jean from when they were new, a rage on Luna, and about 12 various unexciting ones sitting in my inventory I haven't assigned yet.

I just give everyone one with Immunity to Guard Break and either Damage Proc or Invincibility. I save the big Damage Procs for the useful characters. And then I toss CTPs on the real big guns I want to push over the tope. I have like half a dozen CTPs in my inventory though so this is probably a good time to actually spend some time and figure out if anyone has a wrong one.

punchymcpunch posted:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H0Hcl9oVZV9gA266xkJAqPv5bD1qwqhC5NeVbLj_-FE/htmlview Thank you for this. I was always thinking that the "Activation Rate" thing referred to the second stat kicking in, but I guess it's for the third thing. So "Creates an energy shield" or whatever is useless, I need some damage percentage or Invincibility. I've got a crap ton of 6* saved up - I was originally focusing only on the first stat and trying to make that Ignore Defense or Immune to Web (PVP Spidey was biting my rear end at that point) or Stun/Snare/Fear - not completely sure of the differences between those three things, although I'm assuming Fear is the one that makes you run away. Only recently learned that Guard Break Immunity is the big thing to get on those obelisks. So I took the CTP Energy off of Blue Marv and Shang-Chi. Poor Blue Marv. I like you but I'm not going to pay 50 bucks to level you. This whole giant wall of numbers with spreadsheets when it comes to fiddling with stats promises to eventually burn me out, but right now I'm hoping for noticeable improvements, which I guess means I'll really need to focus on leveling up all the drat urus on each dude.

Steve Vader posted:This whole giant wall of numbers with spreadsheets when it comes to fiddling with stats promises to eventually burn me out yeah ignore all that. i just thought you might like the ctp tab because its got every ctp and then a list of the characters who can best utilize it so its a quick way to decide who to put em on.

Yes, that tab is good and I'm working on it now. Noticing that this seems to indicate that "Ignore Dodge" is better than "Ignore Defense," which I thought was the other way around.

yeah the reason for that is that the general consensus is you want to get your ignore defense from cards, same deal with cooldown reduction. because every single character needs to cap ignore defense, getting most of it from cards is just easier. and if you do that, then ignore defense on obelisks becomes a dead stat.

I'd really, really take destruction off of Jean and give her authority, since she needs the invincible. She's probably the #1 character and that's easily the #1 CTP for her.

I have one of the defensive CTPs, forget which, on my Wolverine, and I'll frequently end up in Timeline Battle situations where Wolverine and the opponent won't be able to outdamage each others' recovery rates and end up running out the clock. This happened against some guy's Thanos just the other day. Deadpool is similar, though for some reason Wolverine seems even harder to kill despite Deadpool having the regeneration CTP (the one Wolverine has isn't regeneration, but some other defensive one).

Steve Vader posted:She isn't even on the Authority list on that spreadsheet. They are currently on Thanos and Surfer... That's weird, especially since they said Regen for Jean. Authority is good for Thanos and Surfer but Regen is even better if you ever get one of those. On the other hand, Jean's healing isn't affected by her regeneration rate, so she doesn't get the benefit of that CTP, making Authority the best for combined PVE and PVP. She'll do enough damage for both WBU and TL with the damage buff, although a bit less than characters with Rage in PVE, gets the guard break immunity that she needs, and be she'll be able to stay alive with the invincibility and her healing. So, Regen on Jean isn't that great for PVP and especially PVE, since her damage will be low, and the Rage they suggests wastes her TL potential.

Authority gives a damage boost that makes her top tier in WBU, too. It's got crit and true damage. It's a great balance for both uses. Regen limits her dramatically in WBU and Rage does the same in TL. Steve Vader posted:I took Destruction off of Jean and put on a GBI Invincible Mind Damage obelisk on her to keep her open if I ever get a Rage or Regen CTP. You probably don't even need to switch with that. That's a drat solid choice of gear.

It does drive me nuts in this game is that you do all this event stuff, and you get, like one thing out of it. Other games they give you new characters, premium currency, skins, gear, and other good stuff. FF is super stingy with like everything.

This game is weirdly polarized with regards to this stuff, because it lets you access most things without having to pay any money, but the stuff that is monetized (or somewhat monetized, like things that cost crystals) is ludicrously overpriced even compared with other mobile games. Like you said, even if you get all the tokens for an event I don't think it even gives you enough to buy the most expensive thing in the event store. A good example of this is how the recent Black Friday event's "reward" mostly required that you spend huge amounts of crystals on random stuff.

Mumbling posted:Wait, a 6 star ticket is more valuable? How so? You are guaranteed a T2 ticket every month. 6*s are relatively rare and for more annoying characters they let you save 320 hard to get bios that you can then spend on the equipment upgrades to get to T2.

For many characters 6* is 320 biometrics/x-genes, which is more than you need to go T2 (and the other mats to go T2 aren't very hard to acquire).Adult Sword Owner posted:Also usually games paywall the best characters and lets you easily get the C tiers, but this game does the complete opposite, which is very funny to me The best thing this game does, IMO, is giving you access to some powerful characters that effectively can't (reasonably, anyways) be purchased, like the "Epic Quest" characters, World Boss ones, or Stryfe/Jean Grey. You can reliably get them just through doing daily stuff for a very long time (well, except Stryfe maybe; Colossus x-genes don't seem that practical to acquire). The exclusive characters seem to usually be the "second best" ones, in the tier below folks like Captain Marvel, Deadpool, etc.

Yeah, the way I reason it is my basic approach for pay characters is to use the bio subs to get them to 2 or 3* and then use tickets to get them to 6*. That way I don't waste weeks feeding on character and I can save those days to getting someone's gear up for T2ing. You get tons of 4* tickets and sometimes you get 5*, but you can mostly only get 6* from these stores so I almost always get it. Although last time I had more 6* tickets than 5 so I bought the 5 instead to create another "ticket path" for someone. T2 tickets come free every month, are given away in other things, and still cost less bios than 6*ing a character does. So its a no brainer for me. If I wasn't grabbing the tickets I'd grab the CCF.

That's definitely a better value than T2 as well. But I still prefer the 6* tickets for the premium characters even if its like mathematically less of a value. Ranking up costumes is rarely a priority for me and still easier on any farmable character than ranking up a premium is.

So I've stupidly come back to this game after taking a break two or so years ago. And I can say that a lot has changed. I hardly have any clue what to do anymore, and I've forgotten all my rotations. Is Nico/SG dead these days? I remember having her at rank 8 or something, now I'm down to 98, but she doesn't have a T3, so w/e. And since I got in after black friday, I take it there's a while until the next time there's a uni sale. At least not for another week or so? I can't remember if they do anything for xmas. Anyway. Is Deadpool still good, and what about this Lady Deadpool costume? Because I really dig her.
