How the hell are you supposed to be able to level Nova and Blue Marvel? I bought one package that got them both at 6* then bought a second later once I had the crystals, and got nothing. Man that's just dumb.

Anyways, I want some hints about who to work on for t2.

Already T2: Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Jean, WOlverine, Strange, Beast, Cyclops. Magneto, Storm, Rogue, Black Panther, Moon Knight, Sif, Sharon Rogers, Enchantress, Wasp, Yellowjacket, Sharon Carter, Elsa, Gwenpool, Kate Bishop, Silk, Squirrel Girl, Angela, Captain Marvel, Heimdall, Hela, Hyperion, Loki, Thor, Jane Foster Thor.

Ready to be t2 : Hulk, Hulkbuster, Ancient One, Quake, Mysterio, Nico, Wiccan, Karnak, Ms Marvel, Singularity, Crystal

At 6* but not geared up: Cap, Deathlok, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Coulson, Songbird, Kraven, Mockingbird, Spidergwen, Yondu, Blue Marvel, Robbie Reyez, Ultron, Kingpin, Kaecilius, Starlord, Gamora, Skurge, War Machine, Nova, Valkyrie, Ironheart, Spider-Man, Helstrum, Lizard, Nebula, Rhino, Lash, Lincoln, Maximus, Miles, Bucky, Widow, Carnage, Inferno, Moongirl, Satana, Quasar.

I also have unlocked everything, but Anti-Man and Apocalypse. So if there's someone else I should be putting my resources into i'd like to know. I'm putting my X-men and world boss resources into Cable and Dorammu right now.

It's like only every 3rd or 4th chest guarantees the ultimates, and it reads a bit confusing. Hence the future fight boycott and downrate effort on reddit. Hopefully they will add the bios somewhere else soon. Bandaid 1 was to give us enough crystals for a free chest pack, adding them to the lab converter was bandaid #2, and bandaid #3 is to partially refund the people who ignored the boycott and bought chests before they were added to the converter. That was announced a week ago and when people ask about it they are told it takes time to determine who is eligible for the refund or not.

I'm behind you in characters, but looking at your list, I see Ancient One, Spiderman, Coulson and Valkyrie come up a lot in discussions. Ancient One adds 25% ignore dodge and element damage to all allies, Coulson and Valkyrie give massive boosts to allies against super villains, Spiderman with the homecoming outfit is good at timeline and in shadowlands. Cap and Iron Man are also decent choices since the patch made early story characters cheaper. Iron Fist is also decent with his hobo outfit but you may not need him as much since you already have wolverine and beast. He was my starter combat T2 alongside Sharon and Elsa to help me get started on the world bosses but you are beyond that.

I was going to use my last ticket on Ancient One, but then Heimdall came out. Like he can take on the low end world bosses but isn't that great over all. I'll probably still use the next ticket for Ancient One, though I was thinking of Hulk as I have the Ragnarok outfit. I don't have the Homecoming outfit, but I'll probably grab it next sale, but I do have Hobo Iron Fist.

Honestly, I'm lacking villains for Shadowland, so I'm also tempted to T2 Mysterio, and work towards Kraven.

I missed they added Sam and Martin to the converter, I'll be doing that. Though I had to literally use every bio I had ot get Wanda to 60, but holy poo poo was that worth it, also worth missing out on the T2 ticket from the last even, as I bought all the dark matter, which is by far the most annoying thing to get in this game.

Nice, It probably doesn't matter too much who I t2 because I can beat all the world bosses at normal mode, and only extreme mode WB and i'm at floor 12 in SL, so its not like I'm horribly stuck.

I'll probably do Mysterio with my next T2 ticket. Hopefully there will an xmas event that will let you earn one.

It's pretty good that people are resoundingly rejecting random loot boxes that have more than cosmetic items in them. And yea, just stick them behind the paywall or behind a difficult boss or something if you want to make them special, don't stick them in an expensive lootbox that you have a very small chance of getting one, which is compounded by the fact you need bios to level them up beyond their initial leveling.

Jesus christ how hard is it for people to do the daily in the coop World Boss when its something simple like "use less than 3 male characters"?

I'm stuck at SL 17 because I just don't have enough t2 to make it through, but that clears at least 2 bio levels. Not, great but its a start.

I only have the Noir costume, so Iron Castle will probably be a pro buy. This is a weird collection of characters, not complaining but there's zero theme, unless these are just previews for 2018 releases.

And my shame level hit 5 today. I'm not sure what paywall character i'll work on next. Probably Carnage or Agent Venom.

Yea, the 6600 crystal upgrade to the x-men epic quest is really worth it. having that t2 Magneto really early helped me a lot.

And I consider someone a good t2 if they can both clear hard villain siege and Proxima Midnight world boss solo, without switching out for regen. Both of those a hard, but not exactly challenging or require great skill, but that's fine, if you can just brute force with someone, that's okay by me.

Who should I be taking to defeat Apocalypse? Jean seems like the best but I am constantly losing do to running out of time.

Oh fun. At least at the end of the week I can up her to 6* so any I get through the event I can use to upgrade her to t2. I was annoyed at first that X-men used their own upgrade stuff, but at the glacial pace of releasing mutants it means its actually fairly easy to upgrade them. Hopefully I can get 150 to upgrade her to t2.

Man I wish I had known Punisher's outfit wasn't worth it before I bought it.

I beefed up Carols Ms Marvel costume, why I have ultimate Green Goblin costume. Didn't bother doing anyone else. Probably if Wanda gets a new costume like her Marvel Now or movie costume I might put some effort into upgrading it too.

Is the only way to get gearup kits to buy them from the lab store and earn then from levels? I literally have 10k dimension debries but I'm always short kits.

I realized why Cable was performing so poorly and also Ancient One, I forgot to put ISOs on them. Some Energy attacks and increase of critical, and they're useful.

So how do you participate in Alliance Conquest? every time its running I try to join and it says I have no characters that can be used.

Are we just getting Kpop Waifu with the update? Unlike last time, i remembered to complete as much as I could before the updated started. Managed to get to SL 9 before it stopped, though I couldn't collect my rewards.

I find it really weird they didn't add Nova and Blue Marvel to the 20 bios a day, people are way more likely to spend money on that than big rear end diamond packages.

And holy poo poo I realized I've never bothered putting urus on people. What the hell is wrong with me?

The only WB i have issues with is Apocalypse. The only way I've been able to beat him is use Wanda and Jean and sacrifice one. WBI the only problem is completing the quest when its something you actually have to kind of think about, as most people playing FF can't read or don't bother.

Yea i took me a while ot figure out the end game content in this. I completely misunderstood how world bosses worked and shadowland. Hell I didn't even realize how to T2 people for ages, and had like a dozen t2 tickets just sitting there because i'd been given them but never used them.

I don't think it was until new avengers were added that I figured things out. At this point its only a lack of t2 prevents me from going higher up in shadowland.

The only reasons to spend crystals is costumes, to upgrade the X-men epic quest (seriously, getting a T2 magneto was a huge game changer for me) and getting energy. I guess sometimes packs show up for sale that are a good deal, otherwise just squirrel them away.

Mostly I just hoard them until a movie comes out and buy all the movie costumes. Few weeks Black Panther will be out and it will have a ton of costumes, as they tend to have comic costumes for the default and movie as the extra, and the extra costumes always make a character more effective.

Well good thing I have cap ready to go, already have Hobo IF, and already t2 Black Panther and Thor, with CW and Ragnarok costumes respectively. I've just been using T2 for months to t2 people other than mutants because they're super easy, but then I've put a lot of work in maxing out Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Dr Strange so i needed a lot of Dark Matter for that. I think i'd rather t2 regular heroes than work on world bosses. I only got Dom to 55 because then I can clear his quest.
