How long does it take to do Chapter 10 and what are the rewards? Oh, and is it at all interesting and/or fun?

Not long, 15 spirit and 1 more point to your favorite three basics.

Limbo #5 is apparently just killing 500ish limbo demons in midtown. #4 who knows for sure since part of it could be done last time

Limbo #4: kitty with magik team-up killing a doop and a bunch of limbo demons

#5: 300-500 limbo demons in midtown/lmbo

Neither apparently counts for secret avenger yet so rip

Prinnybaal on the O has the achievements for killing 100k bosses in holosim and xdefense. Can your autism beat that?
That thread confirms the 1000 batroc kills too. Most likely only in cicp

If you've got decent synergy/boosts story mode is a breeze, you can be 60 in an hour or less.

If you're boosting you can level 2 heroes to 60 in an hour while chatting

I think you can get limbo4 with the not unlocked level 10 kitteny but you need to find a dope in hollersim. I hope so at least so I don't have to spend splinters on her.

Someone go test that, not playing until tomorrow evening

Alright, I took a look at the builds for GR on MarvelBase and gently caress those guys. I admittedly don't have a loving clue how to gear this to make the most of it. You probably shouldn't listen to me, most of the time when I say something in SG chat I'm told "no that's dumb". However, I love GR and have played him since he first came out. I also still haven't finished my cosmic on him that's not the goddamn point shut up.

Here's my build. You should try it maybe.

SDOOTS' REALLY COOL GHOST RIDER THAT DOES THE HELLFIRE WHAT GOOD

Max out Chains Ablaze. There are a few physical damage skills used here, but mostly we want as much crit rating as possible.
Max out Spirit of Vengeance. You're the Spirit of Vengeance. Embrace that. Be proud of it.

OH BY THE WAY I HAVE MY KEYS SET UP LIKE DIABLO 3 BECAUSE I AM A FUCKER

If I don't say max out, just dump as many as you feel comfortable with or something like that. I'm level 49 right now and can't really figure out precise numbers. I use 10 for most of them.

Put whatever you loving want in Chain Lash I don't know goddamnit. It's going to be your Mouse 1.
On 1, (or whatever your equivalent would be), put Damnation.
On 2, (or whatever your equivalent would be), put Infernal Skull.
On 3, (or whatever your equivalent would be), put Burn the Treads.
On 4, (or whatever your equivalent would be), put Penance Stare.
On 5, (or whatever your equivalent would be), put Hell From Above
On 6, (or whatever your equivalent would be), put a maxed out Infernal Contract. You should use this as much as you can.
On Mouse 2, you'll be using Inferno. Because of course you will.

On the last note for powers, I have my second hotbar m1 and m2 set up so they correspond to the thumb buttons on my mouse. I have Dread on Mouse 4 and Ride on Mouse 3. 1 point in each of these is plenty.

For an Uru, I am using Mental, and Legendary is Warlock's Eye. The Hood Medallion seems to be working pretty well with the combined Physical and Mental damage bonus, as well.

The general idea here is that you have plenty of ways to lay on the hellfire stacks. Damnation applies a stack each tick, Burn the Treads applies one stack when it hits, two stacks if you charge it fully (which you should be doing anyways), and Hell From Above applies a full three stacks on hit. Additionally, you are lowering the cooldown of HFA whenever you use a Vengeance power, in this case, Burn the Treads. Inferno also applies a stack on the initial cast, so if you can get smart with your casts rather than just hit M2 a lot, you'll get a lot of benefit from each use.

As a result of all this hellfire being thrown out, Infernal Skull is almost always going to be dealing an extra 20% damage. Whenever you aren't getting everyone nice and toasty, you should be hitting them with skulls. If you run out of spirit, then you hit them with your Chain Lash, which will now be that much better due to your drained spirit pools. Chain Lash also has tremendous reach in comparison to Thrash, allowing a low health, low spirit GR to keep dealing damage.

Finally, if using Infernal Contract and cutting your health in half for the various boosts isn't working out in your favor, you always have one point in Chain Thrash by default. Swapping Lash for Thrash and taking advantage of the health recovery on hit (when the enemy is afflicted with hellfire, which they will be) works just fine.

Most Mental builds use Hellfire rather than any chains. I don't really like this approach. I feel like I'd rather get the benefits from one of the chain basics if possible, and since spirit is going to be at a premium, why not embrace that and make it a strength rather than a flaw?

The reliance on a few physical powers means this build would benefit from having a few pieces of gear with physical buffs, obviously. That said, I'm still figuring out how much to go in one direction versus the other.

gently caress, this is Hybrid isn't it? Eh, whatever. You get to hit poo poo with chains and light dudes on fire. Try it sometime.

Never cosmic

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many points it would be if someone had all heroes at just red 60 but never cosmic prestiged? I'm wondering where the cutoff is for scrub-tier players who refuse to take the cosmic leap.

I'm trying not to dip below 50 on the achievement leaderboard but the Mr. Fixit outfit I finished last night was terrible and I really don't want to do any of those 300 bounty chest cosmic terminal grindfests.

19800?

If that can't be gotten by you since you're a newer player, Sword Gun works. Follow Hellvin's build because he is good at this game and ttks a lot of guys effectively:

Time to laugh at my crappy build:
Adhuin's awful build
It's designed for the first challenge within my current budget:
(No fragments nor Essences owned and no budget to reroll artifacts for better numbers)

Any glaring holes in The power build?
I usually just cruise back and forth and shoot some refracting beams at mooks. Bosses get usually the full load.

You got 7 points in deconstruct which is one your main skills to clear a screen+ worth of enemies. Since you seem to be using his ult to kill the boss you should drop everything from emf. Dash, drop vuln under him, ult, dash, sig, repulse clears him faster for you than emf.

Also put a point in reconstruct to cut decons cooldown in half.

You really need 20 in his defensive passive for shocker instead of one pointing the power one huh

Energy might be fine for you since you can probably get a few more dashes or repulses off, that is if everything still dies in one hit. Though uhh those sure are some omega picks.

Also sadness if you don't have spaceman or timeman for their synergies.

There's other issues but I started crying all of a sudden
