Hmm gonna have to change my energy management completely with these new tracking missions, 4 * 10 bios daily, at 4 energy per run, not reduced during hot time.
Between dumping uru story missions and WBI I'll probably have to dump WBI since I love me some uru. That's really gonna hurt my gold income though... any thoughts?

I'm definitely cutting back on WBI. I've been dumping a ton of energy on it for months because I didn't have anywhere useful to spend it otherwise. I'll probably still do it 4-5 times a day.

Also: uh

So the Gwenpool uniform is super OP

how pay to win is it to get the xmen

you can get Rogue, Beast, Storm, Cyclops and Wolverine by doing the epic quest for free

Magnemite costs 6600 crystals, which is a lot, but it's not a straight up you have to buy this for money type of thing. You can hoard crystals for him.

You need 5 T2 X-Guys as a requirement to get Jean

I grabbed the 20-a-day thing again, got Agent Venom to 4* and then used the 5 and 6 rank up tickets on him. I'm gonna use the rest of the bios to get Carnage to 4/20 and then try to get Agent Venom and/or Enchantress there. I'll have to level up Venom and see whether he needs it or not, because Enchantress doesn't really seem to.

Neither Agent Venom or Enchantress need to be maxed, unless you're really gunning for high ABX or possibly WBU clears. Enchantress probably needs it SLIGHTLY more in order to boost her DPS for some Shadowlands floors where, even though there is no danger of her dying, the clock ticking out can be a factor.

My Agent Venom is T1 and 17/16/15/15 and is my stage 25 Shadowland clear completely solo, no team. He's that good.

What's the word on Gwenpool and Crystal's new costumes?

Also want to register my disappointment with ICR that he didn't go with 'X gon give it to ya' for a thread title

Gwenpool's takes her from "good char" to "mini Wolverine"". she doesn't die with it if you're using all her iframes. it's a must buy.

Crystals uniform is a 10% boost and animation changes. I bought it but I'd pass if you have other better unis to buy.

Gonna T2 Magneto I guess.

What ISO set are people running on him?

I wound up with Overdrive on my 3rd batch, so I kept it. But any of POAH, Overdrive, Hawk's Eye is worth keeping. Hawks less so since his cooldowns are very low to begin with. I'd also keep Drastic Density if I rolled it.

Magnetman really shits out a ton of damage as long as he keeps his guard hit skill up. I thought about a healing set but settled on gently caress it more damage.

Finishing the epic quest was easy enough with some whaling, what bites my rear end is how long it'll take to get the xbios to 420 them. Well, Storm and Cyke anyway. Don't care that much for Beast.

What bites my rear end is the Phoenix Feathers. Here's the stupid part.

I didn't buy the $70 X-Men pack. Waffled over it, but didn't. So now I've got Wolferine at all 17 gears (that use feathers instead of bios to level) stuck at level 55 and the epic quest stage where I need 1000 M'Krann Crystals.

I've got 385 M'Krann Crystals, and 1120 Phoenix Feathers. I'll have 2k feathers by the end of the week, and maybe 500 M'Krann Crystals. So because there's a cap on the number of feathers you can store, all the ones that I earn while I collect enough Crystals are just gonna get burned because I don't have anything to spend them on. I could use them to T2 someone, but I have tickets and if it do it naturally it's going to slow down progress on the epic quest because that also uses crystals. The Feathers are literally BAM, and the Crystals are Chaotic Norns, and they drop at the same disproportional rates.

I'd be totally cool with all this if they didn't cap the number of each thing you can hold.

What're ya'll top tier WB teams these days? I've reached the point that the thing I'm really looking for is the ability to kill the boss by mashing buttons one handed without actually glancing at the screen, so daisy-wolf-prox has been retired for a while. On most of these I have to swap to the main DPS character but then I can do the rest with eyes closed.

1. Beast, Wolverine, Spider-Man
2. Star Lord, Cap, Sharon
3. Satana, Dormmueueuamu, Hellstorm
4. A1, Mordo, Strange
5. Magneto, Cyclops, Storm

It's a pretty eyes-closed lets get this done 35/35. I sorta pay attention with Magneto vs. iThanos but that's like 1m30s every week so i figure that's good.

I probably have like a decade before I can complete the Dr. Strange questline, is the uniform worth buying before maxing him? I have Sharon aka The One True Captain America plus Lady Loki and Elsa and my waifu Space Gamora already. Have enough for one costume.

Yeah. It's the best uniform in the game, really no wiser way to spend 750 crystals.

It lets you beat everything in the game.

It's hard to stress how good Dr. Strange is when he's finished. It's like if you're playing Mario 3, and you've got Mario and Luigi but then there's a 3rd unlockable character named Giuseppe who has a permanent Star and P-Wing.

This is a very good guide and I agree with basically all of it, although I think the Ghost Rider and Ronan unis should be higher. And I think Gwenpool's uni should be at the top rank.

A big thing with uniforms is "can crystals turn this useless character into someone USEFUL" and for Ghost Rider and Ronan that's true.

Otherwise this is a good guide. Even the things that are labeled as "low" still merit being on the list for consideration.

Doc Ock dominance is real. Legitimately been thinking of T2ing him for the last week or two. He can just stunlock chumps in shadowland permanently if you have the positioning down.

Plus he has one of the more unique sets of animations and just looks cool.

Spidey is real good now. How is Iron Man?

Honestly also real good. He's not an S-tier meta character by any stretch but he jumped from a D to a solid B+/A-. I might get the Civil War uni just to have the extra i-frame.

I only used him for team-up bonuses before and now he's more than capable of a SL floor or a WB clear if you have him built up to 17 gears, 8-ISO set and an ok obelisk.

Got a 6* ticket. Should I burn it on Rhino or Lizard?

I went for Lizard

BUT

when its all sorted out i think they will both be equal in usefulness. not meta defining but valuable combat villains. its one of those "pick the one you like most" scenarios.

this is a good update in the sense that there are no wacky powerful must-haves but everyone is solid enough to invest in

The key to an easy 12-7 is a T2 Wasp, her debuff removal passive removes the burn that is the major source of damage that kills you.

I finished SL tonight with so many good characters still in the stable. Now that I can use Spider-Man, Vulture, Iron Man, Sandman and Venom it basically adds 5 easy clears over last week.

Mr. Meagles

So, neat thing with Anti-Venom.

His 4* passive Infestation didn't get any changes with the uniform. BUT, as long as you're in a situation where you can trigger it without getting gibbed, like a SL relay floor, it makes a huge difference. Save the 5 for when you get huge and heal back to full.

Important thing is that the size increase has a MASSIVE effect on the range of his reworked skill animations. It turns the 4 and 5 into the last part of Agent Venom's 5 and gives you ridiculous AOE coverage.

Roll Overdrive and a full damage obelisk. He's not Carnage because he doesn't have the immunity, but he's pretty drat close. This uniform takes him from dumpster tier to probably an A- combat villain. Crazy.
