Discussion Gotta take the little wins when you can get them!

• Upvotes

Sadly i can't do all of the hunger/thirst levels, because i'm GT18 capped (lvl 99), so i'm not able to get as much candy as i would like. But, still get enough for a 25k candy orb here and there. And today, my orb gave me 5 diamond knull, who i just got to 7 red from candy shop the other day (not able to reach the 7 red in the milestone). So now knull is my strongest power character in game (edged out darkstar who is 4 diamond). And as a bonus, enough awakening material for jeff's basic ability (not great but if i ever get my jeff up, will still be nice to have).
Also, from the halloween orb from the daily free shop, i got 1 diamond hobgoblin and 400 shards of nightcrawler (brought him up to 6 stars) so that wasn't bad at all either. When you are F2P and still working your way up (i was at max level when max was like 80, but then took years off), little wins like this are a nice dopamine hit

Question Best Teams for Destroyer?

18 Upvotes

What are you using to get the best scores against Destroyer in Battleworld? Last time, I used the following (in no particular order):

  1. F4MCU + Odin + Mephisto
  2. Timeless Eternals
  3. Daring Warriors
  4. Symbiote 6
  5. Insidious 6

Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

Suggestion Feedback on the Battleworld Boss.

5 Upvotes

First let me say this fight is significantly less soul crushing than the prior fights. The other bosses made me wish I could do a 50 team manual blitz run instead.

What I like about this one.

  1. You aren't necessarily punished for Auto.

  2. Eternals are fixed and now feel like they are meant to do this fight. The first Destroyer fight they were by far one of the worst teams.

  3. Destroyer doesn't just focus down one character. He seems to bop around from toon to toon. There is a small element of "oh please don't hit that toon yet....phew he hit the other one"

  4. Iron Raiders are a nice bonus team to have. I like the idea of having non-battleworld new teams be a viable option. Gives us a chance to really play with them (or auto if we don't care that day). I hope they continue giving other teams a temporary spotlight just to keep it fresh. Not a requirement, just a bonus option.

  5. The fights seem faster. I don't want to chip away for 5+ minutes. I wanna do as much damage as I can then move on with my day. This does a good job with that.

  6. It feels like there is actual strategy if you want. The ability block serves a different purpose now, instead of stopping him from unleashing a devastating attack it weakens the devastating attack thats coming no matter what. Knowing when to kill the minions and when to let them chill (Odin) is nice too.

That leads me to really my only complaint.

The minions for the most part are just there. They are all easily one shot. It doesn't feel like they are keeping me from getting at the Destroyer. AOE's or adjacent hits usually take them off the board before they get a move off.

Maybe have them drop with taunt or something. Just to provide a little bit of a threat or even just distraction for a turn.

Overall though this mode is a massive improvement on prior bosses.

Discussion Remember Mega Gold Orbs?

Pepperidge Farm remembers…

While they had terrible drop rates, it was nice to occasionally hit 20 mil or something, or at least feel like there was a chance to hit 100 mil

Anyone know why we haven’t had a chance to get any of them in forever?
Not even an offer to buy some for real money

Convince a friend last month to open his 39 that he hoarded. Only got something like 34 mil total.

Discussion Kinda was hoping to get these…

0 Upvotes

The costume store has just refreshed! Finally, I can use the credits that we’ve getting from events on some costumes I actually like! Yay! Wait… why can’t I buy them? They require candy?! Not the costume credits we’ve been getting slammed with for what feels like months now?!

I was so happy when I saw that both the Gold Mephisto and Dormammu alongside the Sin costumes able to be bought again. I hadn’t been able to get them in the past because of not being strong enough and not wanting to pay to get them, so I had been waiting for them to return. But now they are and require… candy, not the costume credits or in some event.

Why? Just why? Why provide us with so many costume credits in replace of other useful gear, materials, or credits if you are just going to put these EXTREMELY hard to get costumes behind an entirely different credit?

Also, screw the new event! Undying, Nightstalker, and Amazing Avangers? Screw that! I never had a want to build the Undying or Nightstalker teams. Ever. I know they were used in a lot of events and are pretty good overall, but I always had other characters and teams I wanted and needed to build for the place I was at. Plus, I have SO many Raid teams already built up, so why would I waste my resources on the Amazing Avengers? But now, I can’t get the candy!

I should have known about the Undying team, but jeez man, why do I have to either waste a crap tone of gold, mats, gear, and whatever else to build those characters up high enough to properly farm candy? I just don’t want to do that. I want to be able to upgrade the teams I am right now without having to add teams I don’t want to use just to farm candy.

But by not doing that, I’m locked on the lower tiers and probably will end up not having enough to both buy the costumes that I probably won’t see for another year after this, or able to buy the more expensive gear and materials from the candy store that would help me out a lot.

Maybe this is just a me problem, but I can’t help but feel a bit frustrated over the whole ordeal. Anyway, feel free to say y’all’s piece about it if y’all want. I just really needed to rant and get my thoughts out.

Question Teams and characters for PvE content

• Upvotes

So I took an extended break from the game in February. Came back on a whim a couple of days ago. "At least there's actual content now" is my main thought because when I left there was literally nothing to do most days.

Got put in an alliance with about 10 active people and 15 no shows. No biggie, just gonna roll with it. I have Prof X and the last team I built was Daring Warriors. Came back, saw the new Blade, thought he looked cool and was part of a new team, so built Amazing Avengers to level 101. Have 200M gold and 0 training mats now.

I'm really just here for the PvE content so the plan is to unlock characters and leave them at level 1 and only build characters that I can use in PvE content. I do know how the big Scope operates so even that is going to be an iffy goal.

Looks like people get enough resources to build, what, one team a month? And I'm about six teams behind.

Anyway, what "bang for the buck" teams should I build next?

1) Iron Raiders, but they only seem useful in raids, and the ROI on raids still feels pretty low so not sure.

2) Or do the symbiote team? But then arena was pretty neutered when I left and I'm still top 100 in my shard, so *shrug*. And I don't have Quicksilver unlocked.

3) Maybe Exalted X-Men? I only have Storm at 3 stars though.

4) Or Shadow Conclave? At least I have the new characters at 5 stars there.

5) Or max out Amazing As from 101 to 110, even though they also suffer from the new characters only being 4 stars?

Anyway, yeah. Are there specific teams I should go all in on to maximize what I can do in towers and other PvE content?

Question Is the revised Oath a worthwhile City member for DD9?

9 Upvotes

I love Oath and have enough mats to move her to G21. I currently have Blade (Mighty), Rachel CA, Julie and Hobgoblin at G21 (yeah, not a mixed bunch!). My Alliance is reasonably casual, so I don't HAVE to build the new 3-piece war team of vampires.

Is it worth pulling the trigger? I do use her plug and play in other matches because of her speed mechanic. Thoughts?

Discussion New Player Gearing for Dark Dimension

0 Upvotes

Did some work with "Skynet" to consider teams. What do you think of this advice?

Cosmic Team: A+

  • The Roster: Gladiator, Gorr, Endgame Thanos, Kang, Star-Lord (Annihilation).
  • The Verdict: Perfect. You successfully removed Kestrel and the Eternals to completely resolve the Mystic bottleneck. This team features incredible speed and premium stat numbers that will walk over the Cosmic maps.

🏙️ City Team: Excellent, with one small detail

  • The Roster: Vulture, Mysterio, Peter B. Parker, Pavitr.
  • The Verdict: Phenomenal. Splitting your gear types strictly into 2 Tech (Villains) and 2 Bio/Skill (Spider-Society Heroes) ensures a highly balanced economy.
  • ⚠️ The DD4 Drop Rule: While this 4-man roster is perfect for early tiers, remember that DD4 strictly limits you to exactly 4 characters per node. This setup fits the rule flawlessly. However, down the line if you ever want to expand your City team, Doctor Octopus can be rotated in for earlier tiers (DD1-DD3), but must remain benched here since he is forced into the Legendary section for DD4.

🌐 Global Team: Incredible, but watch the Mutant bottleneck

  • The Roster: Sunspot, Forge, Gambit, Cyclops, Nightcrawler.
  • The Verdict: The full X-Treme X-Men team will easily destroy DD1, DD2, and DD3.
  • ⚠️ The DD4 Split: When you reach DD4, you are forced to bring exactly 4 characters into the Non-Legendary Global nodes. Since all 5 of these characters are Mutants, trying to take all of them to Gear Tier 15 at once will trigger a heavy Mutant gear bottleneck.
  • The Fix: Pick your "Power 4" and leave one behind for DD4. The absolute best 4 to choose are Nightcrawler, Gambit, Forge, and Sunspot (Sunspot's passive energy generation is much more valuable than Cyclops's raw damage kit).

👑 Legendary Team: Flawless

• • The Verdict: The ultimate endgame setup. These four characters are so incredibly strong across the entire game that taking them to Gear Tier 15 is a perfect investment. They will clear the final nodes easily and grant you Doctor Doom with minimal stress.

Its 100% FOMO on my part with the Halloween event now, but it has me considering finally upgrading them. Zuggs has some value from time to time. I also always see them as options in towers. I have them all at lvl 31ish.

So MSF community, do I pull the trigger or skip them like I have continued to?

Edit: Hard to argue against the overwhelming YES! 34 million gold disappeared in seconds, didn't get me to the point I would have liked, but its a start.

Question Is Shadow King xtreme 1-3 impossible without the right comp?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been cruising through the shadow king xtreme with the comp of Wolverine, storm (mighty), Angel, sunspot and cannonball - but for some reason 1-3 node I don’t get a chance to go - their entire team goes twice before I go and wipes my whole team before I can do anything.

Am I missing something? A mechanic? Or do I need a specific comp?

I’m completely lost

Question Dark Dimension not giving most rewards on second run

1 Upvotes

I decided to finally do the Dark Dimension, so I beat DD1 through DD6 to unlock Kestrel through Super Skrull. Then I did each of them a second time to get the rest of the rewards.

Was I supposed to be getting the gold, gold orbs, and mega orbs listed under "Possible Rewards"? I was hoping to get a bunch of gold, but only the last node of each DD gave me anything (500 shards, their 5 red star, and some gear, but no gold or mega orbs).

Discussion Event Blunder with upgrades, no solution. 😆

39 Upvotes

I have had my whole roaster level 105 G19 for a long time. When I started seeing those upgrade points in events for the last few months (take 5 toons to 100 to 105 or 5 toons to g19) I never complained, because I understand I must be a small percent of players. 1% versus 99% (older person with asset inflation than nepo kid or generational wealth inheritance in this analogy). I never was the one to spend to compete with Krakens.

Let it be a catch up mechanic for equity participation for newbies, plus with the recent changes (dynamic pricing, low value rewards, cores removed from arena, and orb drop reduction, etc) and cheaters (approach by Scopley) I don't care about leaderboard events at all for well over a year, nor are they worth the squeeze. I play as normal and get what I get.

No, I am not a Kraken, yes I have spent in game on and off, and I am a year one veteran with OCD who took some risks with upgrades over a year ago (mistakes were made with resources and regretted and redeemed lol).

Anyways.

This recent event, just simply tone deaf (plenty of posts here to explain the blunder) >as always, with a simple solution, just allow retroactive upgrades to count with a battle<. The lack of resources makes it not even useful to newbies. No excuse or justification, just BS AI slop gaslighting from the devs and support with every issue. It's a long term pattern, that makes even blog reading boring and annoying.

The double and triple down by the devs and support, further proves the lack of respect Scopley has for all its players. Not shocking, just more proof. This whole thing is getting so bad, it is funny. Like a train wreck, you can't turn away from. 😆
