Oh man, did you pick a time to join up. They dropped a patch last night before going home and it's completely broken the game.

Jedit posted:

I would advise you to keep your collection level low until you hit Infinite if you have a playable deck. You'll be matched mostly against low level bots and can hammer your way up the rankings quite swiftly. I didn't know this, powered my CL as much as an F2P player can and now get only the invincible cheater bots and Infinite players.

Huh, this is actually pretty fun. Hopefully the deckbuilding gets interesting as I unlock more options.

Xtanstic posted:

Can any beta vets comment on collection building? Always be upgrading, so that my collection level ranks up and I unlock more cards right? No point in hording those green upgrade currencies?

Squiggly posted:

So...variant cards are kind of a trap then if I'm understanding correctly?

What is the use of gold if not for variants?

What collection level should I be looking at to obtain Angela? I'm at 46 and getting rng garbage

So this is pretty fun. 6 rounds, get in, get out. Nice design.

My questions so far: How do I get access to this symbiote battle pass the News tab is talking about? How do I move characters? (some locations have hinted this is an option.) Is there any system to what cards are picked to get upgraded at the end of a match? And I should always do it, right? That's what credits are for?

All* levels of card upgrade are worth the same amount of CL per Credit, so level up whatever cards you think look cool. (*Frame Break is half price)

To level up a card, you need boosters and credits. NEVER BUY FAST UPGRADES FROM THE SHOP, you're going to be hard limited by credits, not boosters. To get boosters, you can either get them from CL/Season rewards, or by playing games with the card in your deck.

You're matched to other players by your Collection Level, so if you feel confident in your deck and want to grind out some ladder levels, you can save up credits to not move further. You have a cap of 5000, hitting it will permanently set back your progress. If you're going to do this, I'd recommend the breakpoints of the end of each pool of cards (CL214 and CL474).

If you want more credits, don't use gold to buy more. Use the gold on mission refreshes, as they'll give you additional season pass progress.

Im still in the newbie season pass, but what's the deal with the normal ones? Are they real money only?

goferchan posted:

I don't think there is a "final rarity" exactly. Maxing a card out "splits" it and gives you a new common copy with a permanent special visual effect that gets layered over everything else

Fate Accomplice posted:

do you eventually unlock the ability to challenge specific players?

CapnAndy posted:

Is there a limit to how many daily missions you can have active at once? How diligent do you need to be about clearing them out?

My Second Re-Reg posted:

Hulkbuster has a lot of fun little edge cases. Personal favorite, using Hulkbuster on itself at Cloning Vats (puts a copy of the card you played in your hand). You can combine that with Deadpool and/or Venom for extra fun.

Has all the advice about how best to play the system when you start out fresh been summarized anywhere?

(By play the system I mean the resources and progression)

Is Squirrel Girl actually considered good? I haven't pulled her yet but I feel like she's more of a liability for my opponents than anything, like *maybe* you could use the squirrels as buff targets?

I liked Angela in KaZoo but I don't think she's as amazing as other people seem to think re: pool 1.

Tender Bender posted:

Ah, thanks. Am I correct that other than cosmetics/resources, the Miles Morales card is the only actual card reward that will be unavailable when the Symbiote Season ends?

The pixel art is inconsistent, some of it is very good and some of it is terrible.

It didn't actually happen everyone involved knew what was being said. I am so sick of games (and more broadly hobbies) making things more difficult to outsiders by having their own lexicon.

You only need to draw three additional cards to see your whole deck. Also unlike in other games your opponent doesn't know what you took; he could spend the whole game waiting to draw his combo piece that is stuck in your hand because it's no use to you.

I just hit pool 3, my first card was Gambit. I can't imagine he's good, but that is 10/10 flavor. (he throws away one of your cards and destroys an opponent hero)

Can you shut down a location by flipping first on the same turn? Or if someone plays into professor X on the same turn they still get through?

Opopanax posted:

I once had an opponent set up Wong/Onslaught/Mystique on Kamar-Taj and then they dropped Gambit in there on turn 6 and completely wiped me off the board

Mushrooman posted:

There’s a min/max way to do it (greys are 50% off) but in my experience it’s just best to dump all your credits every day upgrading cards you like. The more you upgrade, the faster you’ll finish your collection.

Wasp is good with Lockjaw, at least.

Anyone have any ideas what to do with Adam Warlock?
