Yeeesh. T2 Spidey 2099, 6* Mastery Wolverine and Quicksilver (who is level 58), and I still can barely make a dent in the Surtur mission. Is there a trick to him other than 'just get Thanos leveled up and unlock Phoenix?"

Yeah that was the same advice I got here and it worked well. Red Hulk lead, then I just used Wolverine and ran around healing up/kiting when hurt. It still took a few tries I think since I wasn't very well geared or set up with cards back then. They give you plenty of time for the story missions so almost all of them are beatable through attrition by Wolvie running around like a loon to recover in between using his big attacks.

Cool, thanks. That worked, although it was a slog.

Um... any tips on beating Odin?

Honestly the time I beat Odin I think I paid to heal up and continue a few times without resetting his health bar since you only have to beat it once to unlock him and get to the Ultimates chapter. I used Wolverine, Sharon Rogers and Dr. Strange and still had to continue a few times but I was really bad at predicting and avoiding his attacks. Some dude on reddit says he did it as a fairly new player with Sharon Rogers.


Drat. My Sharon Rogers has quite a ways to go before she's leveled up properly. Low gear, low skill levels, only 3 star mastery, but at least she's 6* 60. I really want to get Blue Marvel and such.

Alas, my Dr. Strange is at Level 50, 4*, 3 Mastery. I'm still at the quest level where I'm supposed to gather a bunch of Rank 3 Black Anti-Matter, which I've been ignoring in favor of trying to level up Quicksilver, who is up to 58. I am NOT looking forward to wasting bios on leveling up Thanos as well, who I just unlocked and was my next project for the black anti-matter. Black Order is going to take forever.

Also constantly running short on Dimension Rifts to level up gear. Trying to get Cyclops and Storm leveled, and trying to save crystals to unlock Magneto, so I'm hesitant to pay too much to get past Odin. Guess I'll have to wait a while.

I'd hold on for a little while. If you get a rank up ticket, that will help you out. Of course you will also need to rank Clea up to 5 stars too. So basically hope for lots of Rank Up Tickets.

Did you get one from the Platinum Box from the current 7 day Login quest?

Don't think so.

Don't know how long I can hold on. I have 8 that expire in 22 hours, and 60 that expire in 1 day. When does this new update hit?

Not till the 20th, from the look of it. So you probably just gotta use the ones before they expire.

All right, thanks. Maybe I'll just dump them into my 3* Hulk to see if I can't score some prize.

Or... are there any biometrics that feed the Black Order peeps any more than others?

Just cleared the Sinister Six quest pack and got a Mega Mythic uniform upgrade.

I don’t have a lot of uniforms. I have Superior Spider-Man on the border of Heroic just waiting for me to collect Ock bios. I have Ultron at Heroic already and I have the Age of Ultron Avengers uniforms.

My instinct is to just Superior it because I want that character to be tougher and maybe hold his own in T2 fights. Same with Ultron.

Part of me wants to get the Moon Knight uniform just because I like the look and then power it up.

Hmmm.

Still working on getting Jean so hopefully I can eventually get past Odin in the Story Missions. Still about 1000 crystals away from unlocking Magneto, though.

So do Shadowland levels remain constant? The same options on every level every time so you can plan to use the same characters for each one the same way? I got to Level 12 for the first time today, so yay.

I definitely need something to make my Wolverine 'immune to stun' or something before I send him after Odin. And I guess I might need the AoA costume, too? But even against the Alliance Battle frost wolf thing, he keeps getting knocked for a loop and just sitting there seeing starts for way too long. Same problem in Timeline Battle. I wish the Trivia game would tell me what I need to make that happen.

Thanks. I guessed Immune To Snare was the thing but the animation really didn't look like he was "snared," but rather just dazed, so I wasn't sure.

Of course, I've got a 20% Ignore Damage obelisk on him now that I'll be sad to lose.

I’m pretty sure you guys mean immune to stun, not snared. But now you’re making me question everything.

I kept looking for Immune to Stun among my obelisks and found none. So I went with Immune to Snare with a Recovery Rate bonus of 61% for Wolverine. Still no luck in getting past Odin, though, but he didn't appear to be stunned at all!

Crap. I was hoping to use it on Magneto so I could finally unlock Jean without piddling on his little mission forever.

Guess I've got a big decision here. Which of these do I use it on?

6* Mastery Shuri

6* Mastery Titania
6* Mastery Absorbing Man
6* Mastery Chavez

3* Captain Marvel
3* Star-Lord
3* Venom
3* Misty
1* Singularity
1* Medusa
1* Crystal
1* Angela
1* Ghost Rider Robbie



I've got Captain America just about ready to T2, and trying to amass 10 million gold to get Cable to 6*.

I really wish they'd give out 'Gear-20' tickets to avoid the annoying rank-up of all this gear and the drat drag that is.

Normal IW Cap, IW Thor, IW Thanos, IW Bucky, AoU Hawkeye-Vision-Ultron Mk1 - BlackWidow- Iron Man, Baby Groot.

Just noticed the new costume sale has started up again for another 6 days. I'm almost halfway to the new Panther outfit. Or I could buy Dr. Strange or Sharon Rogers or Elsa. Save a little more for Shuri. And a part of me wants that alternate Moon Knight outfit.

I've got Iron Man, Thor, and now Spidey at 6*, Groot will be coming in a couple weeks.

I feel like Thanos deserves the Mega Mythic, but not sure.


Also... so there's NO way to shortcut leveling up Wanda, right? That's the last task before unlocking Apocalypse, debating skipping it.

Planning to focus BAM on getting Thanos up there... but maybe I should grab me some Corvus. I like that his uniform can apparently summon minions. I like minion-summoning.

I have the Thor uniform, and I like it if for no other reason than that it puts "Immigrant Song" in my head every time I use Thor. I don't have Thor at T2 yet, so I haven't seen it at full power.

I've got Enchantress, Misty Knight and Jane Thor at 3, Valkyrie at 2, Hyperion and Quasar and Medusa, Hellcat, Shang-Chi at 1.

I could also wait until tomorrow to unlock Carnage or Ironheart or Kid Kaiju and then do it.
