2 things:

1: Has anyone else had trouble feeding bios to someone and having them go through? I've had the game reset to menu when feeding Odin bios or having them not go through, with the work-around being feeding the bios in stages instead of all at once. This has been a recent development since the last patch and I'm wondering if something broke then.

2: I've finally gotten to the point where I can comfortably clear SL each week, which I'm sure is great news to everyone who's tired of me bitching about it. MagnetMan solves my issue with Floor 22 Villains, which freed up Stranger for 23. Snikt Bubs dominates 25 and that lets me use IF in the teens for a combat relay. Odin can either take care of Luke in 24 or I can save Ebony Maw for that and let Odin clear an earlier stage. Really, the only issue I have now is getting through the 10-15 floors when I'm trying to keep as many cards in my deck as possible just in case I get some bad floor draws.

Much to my annoyance, I discovered only recently that doing the 60+ version of the xmen tracking mission adds a decent chance to sometimes find 2 bios per run.

The general rule of thumb is do the toughest mission you can clear with relative ease. The exception are the special missions with hidden routes, where you'll want to go with the easy ones because you can clear those faster and (in theory) have a chance to find more hidden routes.

Finally got 5/5 on iThomas :toot:. My teams:

Snikt Bubs lead/Floki/Hulk (other than MagnetMan I don't have any of the X-Men at 6* yet so that's the best team I can muster that isn't needed elsewhere)
A1 lead/Strange/Karl
Odin lead/Thors
A13 lead/Sharog/Cap
Dormmy/Ghost Riders
Strikers: some combo of Wolverine/Strange/Odin/Sharog/Dormmy/Thanos/MagnetMan

Strange has no issue unless he gets knocked out of something and pounded; tagging out to Karl to take the meteors is the best way to avoid that. Snikt Bubs is fairly brainless and if you get in trouble just have to run around and let healing factor do it's job. Sharog and Odin require more luck than I'd like to admit, either getting a timely heal or Strange freezes Thanos at the right time. I'm happy Dormmy got the kill since I just 6*'d him and he's only lvl55 right now, with him you have to tag to avoid the meteors since he's far too slow to avoid them and when there's so much poo poo on screen it's hard to see when Thanos peaces out.

I'm fairly happy with those teams and the only one who'd look to crack it currently would be Jean Greezy and I'm nowhere close to getting her. Maybe Thanos once I've dumped another couple thousand bios into him, and depending on how Apocalypse looks he'll certainly be a candidate.

Noice! I just got Thanos up to 6 stars earlier this week (he was my final native T2 other than Jean) and finally unlocked Jean Grey today on the same day my phoenix feathers hit the cap. Things are looking up

I should have Superb Gigante/Black Dwarf at 6* by the end of the week, which is great because it means I can stop dumping all my money into leveling up BAM and instead find other ways to waste it all. Probably through rerolling ISO sets.

I finished Wolverine yesterday and got Storm to 6*. I'll get Cyclops up by the end of the week so then I'll have all the mutants beside Jean. I guess I should probably use the T2 ticket I'll get this week on one of them and start working towards getting her, right? I don't know. I'm considering T2ing them without tickets since the Tracking missions are convenient but the Crystals are such a pain in the rear end to collect.

I got Proxima up to 5* and Level 51. I'm mainly just delaying because I don't have any biometrics I deep expendable. I should just shift some of my daily energy focus on farming Cap or Widow or some T2 I have and use them for Proxima. I just haven't focused on it. I feel like my resources are better served ranking up my roster as a whole. Every week I'm getting a couple of more Level 60s and beefing up gear, skills, and Iso. That feels more valuable to Shadowland than just spending everything I have to get Proxima.

I'm on the fence about how I want to T2 Punchclops/Storm/Rogue. I used a T2 ticket on MagnetMan since I was thinking he was top tier (and he ended up solving a SL problem for me so it was worth it) plus I hadn't really started grinding the gems and had the epic quest requirement. Now that I'm past all that, I feel like it's a waste if I don't use these resources to T2 the X-Men, even though the gems are a bitch to grind like you said.

My gut instinct is to be patient since I don't need Jean Greezy this second and I'm not close to having any of those three ready to be T2'd anyway, but that'll change depending on what new characters come down the pipe, especially if another round of mutants are on deck.

Ok, I'm getting a T2 ticket tomorrow and not sure what to do with it. Here's how things look.

T2s
Universal: Lady Loki, Captain Marvel
Speed: Black Widow, Elsa Bloodstone, Falcon, Ms. Marvel
Combat: Captain America, Carnage, Iron Fist, Wolverine
Blast: Sharon Rogers, Doctor Strange

Ok, so right off the bat my impression is "get a Blast or Universal" since those are the shallowest fields. But even though I don't have a ton of Blast T2s Strange and Rogers are my top 2 and Ancient One and Enchantress are pretty effective Blast characters at T1. And I haven't geared up Wasp or Magneto yet. Universal is another weak field but I'm working on Proxima now that I have the Epics done and then there's Thanos, Dormammu, and the rest of the Black Order.

Here's what my options look like.
Universal: Black Bolt, Trenchcoat Ghost Rider, Hellstorm, Hyperion, Satana, Thor, Vision. Plus Robbie Reyes at 150/320.
Blast: Ancient One, Baron Mordo, Crystal, Daisy Johnson, Enchantress, Iron Man, Kaecilius, Lash, Lincoln Campbell, Magneto, Storm, Wiccan, Yellowjacket, Wasp, Agent Caulson. Plus Songbird 266/320 and Cyclops 243/320.
Speed: Agent 13, Ant Man, Bobby Morse, Daredevil, Elektra, Green Goblin, Kate Bishop, Rogue, Homecoming Spider-Man, Captain America Winter Soldier. Plus Hawkeye 212/320.
Combat: Agent Venom, BeastBlack Panther, Blade, Bullseye, Luke Cage, Moon Knight, Sif, Ant-Venom, White Tiger, Red Hulk, Deathlok. Plus Giant Man 189/320 and Warwolf 261-320.

So what do you guys think? Black Bolt is who I'm leaning towards right now but I'm very undecided. I figure I'm going to do the mutants the hard way.

Car Rider lets you solo an early SL stage, as would Thor. I don't know if Agent Vernon or Enchantress need the T2 to be elite. I know people are high on Rulk and my T2 Hawkgal is good to solo a middle SL stage, particularly the Racon Boss floor.

Funny enough I look for those, since I figured my Wolverine can get a couple of shots in and then run out the clock since Spidey can't do enough damage to get past his healing. It means the battles do go to time but as long as I'm just a little ahead, it means a W.

Yessir. I'm hoping none of them ever get boosted into "must have" territory, I'd never get them T2'd at just 8 bios at a time.

And imagine how bad it'd be without getting 225 bios from SL every week? I'd only have the story mission portion of my roster 6*'d, much less T2'd.

A-Force(Sister Grimm, She-Hulk, Singularity) characters are not obtainable in normal bio selectors, only the type-specific ones and the paid monthly one. This is true of quite a few other characters these days.

Generally those (I think Gwenpoole, Birdman, Clea, I'm prob missing some) at least have mechanics for them to drop when running stages. It may be a pain in the rear end but there's a way to grind them. A-Force is one step above the paywalled characters in that they're selectable from the daily bios but that's it.

I'd say it'd be smart to come up with a way to grind A-Force since they're not players in the meta but I don't think anyone really cares at this point.

Checking out the UMVC3 roster, the only ones we haven't gotten are Deadpool, :doom:, Nova, Sentinel, Shuma, Super Skrull, Taskmasker, and X-23. Deadpool will certainly be coming down the line, same with Girlverine and Nova. Taskmaster's kinda in just no playable so he doesn't count yet, and I'm sure we'll get some Skrulls once Captain Marvel comes out (and if the game is still around).

So really it'll just be Beep Boop, :gaz: and Shuma Gorath we won't have, unless Shuma's the main villain of the Strange sequel.

Apocalypse was only mentioned in one of those panel thingys from some event expo I don't remember which. If we were getting more mutants they would be hyping it to hell and back.

August looks like it'll be revamped SL, Absorbing Man/whoever the gently caress titania is/probably not Spider-Pig sadly enough, and maybe something else. September/October is whatever before Thor Ragnarok comes out in November. I'd guess October for Apocalypse/4 Horsemen but I'm generally wrong about everything so who knows.

REAL TALK: Civil War 3 is a fuckin trap because it cannot roll the trifecta of SCD/DPEN/AATK, it can only roll the two you have. This makes it a solid midway card but needs to be eventually swapped out because even a card with SCD/DPEN would be significantly better.

I don't wanna poo poo on Netmarbu too much because we've had mediocre/bad patches before and they've been receptive to people's complaints, but I'm starting to get annoyed with the game. Anything that I can't automate is becoming a hassle, the constant pop-ups for packages I'm not going to buy are obtrusive, and I was enjoying the three weeks where SL wasn't several hours of anxiety and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The other issue is that we're starting to get close to the end of the game's natural lifespan. The whales here might not want to hear it, but mobile games are designed to last the lifespan of a phone before something newer/flashier comes along to hook a new batch of big fish. Considering we're scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to non-film characters and there's only so many not trash mutants to add, I'm thinking that we've got six months to a year before the game gets wrapped up. I'm imagining that any new game would be out by Infinity War and someone is supposed to be working on a game like this, so who knows. I may get to the point where I peace out until my boy :itjb: gets released and come back then, who knows.
