Here are my picks for most overhauled heroes post update: Taskmaster - basically a mini martial power source Rogue now. Narrower in scope, but allows for maybe even greater customization of play style. You can spec into being a combo point hero, you can steal Cap's serum mechanic, you can spec into Elektra's stamina power source instead of spirit. You can grab powers from black widow, spider-man, daredevil, even a couple of heroes who aren't even in the game yet, like Black Knight. Mr Fantastic - really, all of the fantastic four are really looking good now, but Mr F is so much fun it kills me. Gadgets and stretch powers are both viable as well as hybrid, and you can permanently be in his former signature giant bouncy ball form and it's hilarious and powerful. Specs allow to do crazy stuff like build up to 30 stacks or something equally crazy to power his giant laser beam (formerly that used 3 stacks). Human Torch - Almost an entirely new hero. Spiritless/mana-less now, he works on an overheat mechanic that is basically pure upside while you have heat. His core kit is still there, but now you have flame tornadoes and screen wide aoes while you laugh maniacally. Having full heat does crazy stuff like just having your spender powers just straight up add another spender at the same time while you channel. Fireballs everywhere. Storm - Now Spiritless as well! All powers build up your maelstrom gauge which causes huge storm powers to trigger automatically. She received and incredible amount of new and updated art and really feels like a one woman hurricane. You can focus more on lightning or wind and have all of her powers automatically spawn tornadoes or sky splitting columns of lightning independently on top of her maelstrom stuff and screen obscuring sig. feels super powerful and impressive Some other heroes like Loki and Cyclops have a ton of new powers and play styles open, but I haven't been able to form a real opinion on them yet, but I love the way they look, at least

Section Z posted:Any insight Heroes who fall under "Don't worry too much about dying without keeping a hand hovering over defense skills", that can still conveniently reach/shoot enemies on the other side of the screen on demand? Or the at least convenient for mixing it up with both melee and ranged toys instead of "I gave my Cyclops one karate chop" Taskmaster is a fun hybrid hero right now an can be built very tanky. Go combo points with a ranged filler attack and make your cooldowns mostly melee and you can stay at a distance while jumping in and out of melee range. As far as dashing everywhere, Silver Surfer has actually retained nearly the level of movement he had prepatch and has some pretty absurd healing baked into his kit.

I'm really digging all the perma or near perma sig options in the new system. Juggernaut can charge nearly indefinitely, I have like 1-2 seconds of downtime for dark phoenix, flamethrower as a spender for Big Pun, Nova isn't quite there but you can get down to one or two regular rotations before his sig comes off cooldown, star-lord and hulk can both build up two charges on their already 25s cooldown sigs...it's badass

Will be even better when freezing tempest is live tuned back on.

I'm gonna point out something that is maybe obvious to everyone else but I didn't realize and it left me wondering why my heroes seemed to fluctuate in power randomly from build to build and day to day: In the training room, dummy hp scales with your current difficulty. Cosmic dummies have pretty wild amounts of hp. Make sure your comparisons between different heroes take that into account if you're, say, switching between an established character and one who hasn't passed that cosmic trial and is set to heroic.

There are a bunch of new items even if you ignore that every artifact and core in the game was revamped to the point of unrecognizability.

Thing's jumping around abilities are great post patch. You can store multiple charges on your flying elbow drop and refund regular dodge charges at the same time, even before you turn into a giant hamster ball

Also at this point you're getting at most +6 to a stat from infinity, coming in from capped omegas. And on a lot of heroes you want other stats first.

💯 BRINGING BACK BIG RED NUMBERS 💯 Some of you may have been disappointing by the damage crunch making numbers smaller completely outside of any balance concerns, so here's a very preliminary build for Actual Fascist Capt. Marvel that I have bruting for 1-1.5 million every few seconds. This is without blessings or a legendary b/c I'm still just loving around with builds on every character. Talents are set to: 1C 2A 3B 4B 5A Slot Mighty Punch, Flying Lunge, Infused Uppercut, Crashdown Strike, Ground Shattering Smash, Radiant Cascade, Glimpse of Binary and Cosmic Haymaker. Your whole strategy is building Photonic Energy as quickly as possible and dumping it into Cosmic Haymaker every time you have more than 50% while using Mighty Punch as filler. Grab as much max energy as you can via omegas, because your conversion rate gets ridiculous and those numbers go up fast. Try to Ground Shattering Smash as often as possible b/c it's an autocrit with the last talent AND has power scaling, so it hits as hard as Haymaker in a screen length cone. I recommenced slotting a Demonicus as you have a basic as filler. Can be hard to keep up against very mobile bosses, though.

MeLoki Hybrid Summoner/Enchanter Guide I've been seeing a few people express confusion at Loki's new mess of talents and mechanics so here's my initial thoughts and how to build and what works/what doesn't. So, Loki's talents kinda make it look like you want to specialize in one magic between Asgard/Hel/Muspelheim/Jotunheim. This is only kinda true. Jotunheim and Hel are both not great on their own, full Muspelheim can do an OK but boring Gram build if you like fire and Asgard is straight up the old summoner build with like one additional power. (That is, if you wanna just keep doing Summoner Loki from pre-patch, go full Light/Asgard and the one summoner talent and boom, you're done and completely viable.) Let's take a look at two things: the tier 1 talent Otherworldly Journey, and the power Otherworldly Blast.   Now, Otherworldly Blast is nuts. It's not super damaging on its own, but look at that rider. You might not get the +30% bonus damage per power you'd get from specializing in one type of magic, but you get +10% and now every single one of your damage layers gets +100% damage, forever. Just be sure to Blast every layer you use--there's no cooldown. Enchantment effects are basically every power in the left tree that's not a filler or Otherworldly Blast. You can check the tags. Now, the big thing here is that those buffs from Journey? They all stack, it's easy to get one of each type with the following setup, and all of them are great layers.   Gram isn't a great filler for this build because it's expensive, and you won't be maintaining enchantments to buff it because they get spent by Blasting. Staff Blast is ok if you wanna stay at range, but what I've been finding works best is actually keeping my summon gear on and using Spatial Deception (which still scales Hard with summoner stats) to fill out the rotation. Great damage, and the summons let you survive pretty well in melee even in the newly difficult Cosmic patrol zones and such. This is all still changing a lot, obviously. If anyone sees any changes that work well here please let me know, big L is one of my favorite characters.

TTK thread on the oforums is showing Fantastic Dad and Cpt. Marvel as having roughly double the dps of the rest of the roster, if anyone wants to blow poo poo up on them for a bit. Not much posted as of yet, to be fair. e: the lesson here for anyone looking on how to build is that percent damage bonuses are king. I imagine Daredevil and possibly some of the other combo point heroes will post up a good time soon as well. Mover fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jan 24, 2017 |

Toshimo posted:Bleh. So, they completely broke Carol's Photonics tree and it just doesn't work at all now. Who else makes for a good turret-like ranged DPS now? Human Torch (best revamp in the update) who also gets free mortars launching off of his channeled turret skill and shits out fire tornadoes Ghost Rider going full Damnation, ranged Iceman, and at least one Storm build can do the photonic devastation thing as well

This includes the Spirit Cost Reduction stat, which no longer has a 50% cap. glad this was a bug, that'll make a bunch of talents a lot more fun to play around with.

well, the big thing with that Gobbo build is that Goblin Gunner is movement tagged and fired 5/sec, so midtown signet is on for pretty much every attack and cooldown layer. Spidey doesn't really have something similar.

Right, but it's not like Spidey or Emma are gonna complain about another 2k to their defensive stat of choice. I almost wonder if they shouldn't make it a flat +percentage chance to dodge/small amount of mitigation instead just to keep defense->offense conversion more in line

Yep, gone with the big update in preparation for the move to omega items.

I've been noticing that recent team-ups have very well done but also very visually intrusive and dramatic VFX that shows up even if you have allied powers turned off. I wonder if that's part of the plan to get ppl to buy more vanity team ups, so they can't ignore you. Jubilee does look good though.
