Luke Cage is excellent. Mine is lvl 25, Rank 1 (I just need one more bio, which HAS to happen today, finally). I have him teamed with Captain America and Black Widow, but lvl 28, Rank 2, with Mastery. He's clearing Chapter 5 stages with ease, leading up to Cap and Widow to finish the boss. He's very strong. I have a feeling Blade is going to be a big player with his huge area of effect on his hits and the 3% lifesteal mastery. I'm leveling him and trying to rank him as quick as I can so I can see how he works. He might be a must-have player. Black Widow's shock power (can't recall the name, but you know) deals damage over time when it is leveled up, which is great for bosses. Hit the boss with her specials, run around for 5 seconds, hit them again. Every time they take the DOT they pause their movement or attack animation, so she can take on a boss by herself with no problem. She's excellent. (Hawkeye is also very good for bosses with this strategy. Hit with his specials, then run. Get off an attack thanks to his long range to pause the boss and wait for recharge).
Rank 1 blade/hawkeye/war machine (these are the three I have) or rank 2 ironman? I like Captain America/Black Widow so far. Most of the boss fights seem to be running in circles to avoid their specials until your cooldowns are up, and unload. Ironman's second special takes way too long to charge, I am probably going to replace him.
I just got 10 Red Skull bios from my daily box. That's all it took to unlock him. Amazing. You're not supposed to be able to start earning him until Elite Chapter 6! Hahaaaaaaa! Although now I have an actual Nazi on my team. Umm. Hmm. But just knowing that it is possible to get an entire character from a daily box is so great.
Bad luck on my daily elite Bio grinds so far, though. I didn't get a single Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Black Widow or Ultron bio.
What's the affects of low, med, and high performance? Does low performance slow down gameplay or what? I'm confused. They look the same to me. I always played on high performance.
He isn't bad. He's shooting people from range with a pistol. One of his power moves is to punch the person in the face. The other actually uses the Cosmic Cube to shoot from range, which is really cool. I doubt I'll try to make a viable team member (he's a Nazi scumbag and his 10% defense mastery isn't as good as some other options), but he still looks good for the collection.
Is it me or any move that requires your character to stand still to do damage is bad? i.e. Ironman's second special, blade's first special, they just stand still for way too long. To me, fighting harder bosses is all about running in circles and wait for your moves to charge. If you stand still you take boss's special in the face, and die. Black widow's second special, instant ranged attack and high DOT damage on top of it, is absolutely amazing for boss fights.
Oh WOW. If this had already been discussed earlier, I apologize. I just beat 5-10 and unlocked Villain Siege. Here's what it's all about. There's no cost to entering a Siege. You start with the first villain. You build your team of up to 3 (you can bring in just one hero if you want) and have a real Arena fight (not the auto-fight like in the PVP). If you win, you get a variety of rewards. I got 8,400 gold, 50 Chaos Token, some XP chips, a Red ISO-8 and a Hawkeye bio. You then get the next boss, which is tougher and has higher rewards - but the twist is, the hero(es) you used in the first are locked out. So if you used your best team, like me, you're in trouble ;-) If you fail to beat the boss, their life holds over to the next round, allowing you to make multiple attempts on the same boss. It resets every day just like the Timeline and Daily Events. So if at any point you've been wondering what the point of having a bunch of characters is... this is it. Multiple high-powered heroes will be needed to progress further through the Siege, and the rewards you get are great.
Whoa about to check now, I also noticed the currency changed from AUD to USD, might be a sign it comes out tomorrow, who knows
I am going to blindly pick up an iTunes gift card tonight after work in hopes of this being released tomorrow, as a sign of good faith to the universe. Then I will dance. I will dance to appease the iTunes gods.
I sure hope it's released in America like it's little sister game Marvel heroes was today. J. Cousteau, you have the right idea!
You're Andrian in the game right? Congrats on the top 5 of time battles. Also add my username, remove one of your low level players, I play everyday. Name is: Evate
That sexy lady is Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel . The object of my game affection. She can only be obtained in this game using Honor Tokens which are gained from the Timeline Battles (the 3v3 PvP matches) that you unlock once you reach the end of chapter 4 in normal mode (4-10). I am currently at 4-2 but need to level up my Black Widow (22), Captain America (22) and Iron Man (21) (all 2 star now) before I can get further. Boss battles being the thing that start hurting - the mobs are easy fodder for the most part. One of the things I like best about the game is that when you re-do missions you have already done, it will auto-play them for you, no hands mode. Even works for dimension rifts that you have previously done.
