Ok so it wasn't just me. I'll have to check a few more characters...:doesn't see my to be widespread but I found the same with DD
Well, I feel bad that some have gotten far enough to go "there's not much left to do", and at the same time I commit a solid 3 hrs a day to get 25 gems and have just been working on beefing up teams. I'm really digging Starlord/Rocket/Groot (Groot is 2⭐️ and the others 3). I only play the 5 MP battles to get the energy, but otherwise I'm (for some reason or another) just enjoying expanding my roster and making all my characters slowly better all around. Sure this game favors paying heavily to get the kind of progress that the top of the leaderboard has, but there's few games (especially Marvel franchised games) with as large of an install base and not heavily set to pay for progression/win. I'm still getting a lot of enjoyment out of this game. If peeps are looking for another game to get sucked into, I highly recommend Transistor. Absolutely phenomenal.
I am still enjoying it. I actually missed my first day of achievements yesterday being busy in RL. I am OK with it. I am in for the long haul. It's Marvel. Each star on each character...I earned.
Hi guys, I have just started this game and I absolutely love it, it's now my new favourite game on IOS but i have a few questions which I need to know the answer to. 1) When you upgrade gear there is a change option button which also costs coin to use but I don't actually get what it does. It seems to alter some stats but is there a best way I should be using? 2) How do the ISO stone things work? 3) The premium currency which I seem to get awarded for completing elite missions, what is it best used on? 4) Do characters have best spec setups and can they be changed? Can you ruin characters in any way (think like the classic Diablo games when you place a skill point it could not be undone) Hope this makes sense, apologies if I am over complicating things.
1. When you upgrade your gear to +1, +3, +6, +9, +12, +15, you get a random additional option, sometimes it's useless for your hero (i.e energy attack on Hulk), change option comes handy for that. 2. You can equip it to your hero to get additional stats, there is also bonus stat for specific combination of ISOs which you can view on Manage ISO screen. 3. For me, it's a specific hero's biometrics (not random ones) and uniform. 4. No, you can't ruin it. The closest is point number 1, which can be changed anyway.
In regards to point 1) when you make the change using the example evergy for hulk, is that upgrade permanent for that gear upgrade so if you choose the wrong one and upgrade to the next level are those changes permament resulting in a ruined character?
I'm truly puzzled at the level of negativity the Arena brings out in some people. As far as any of these games go, it's ridiculously generous. Not only does *everyone* walk away with a *functional* reward, they actually scale the prize tier sizes directly to the player base for all but the top 100. So many games manipulate prize tier sizes to force spending, and these guys just put it out there as a scaled matter from day one. Likewise, not sure how the so-called pay to win matters to these people. If you're not in the top 50, you're not even earning a prize good enough to raise an eyebrow over, and for everyone outside of the top 100, it's trivial to get a nice bonus of crystals once a week without stressing yourself. Objectively, the Arena is for farming Honor Tokens and energy for 99.9% of the player base. If a couple of hundred people think placing high on a ladder matters, let them be as deluded as they want, it will never affect you or your game one iota.
Yup... For me, arena is a way to gain more bios throught he tokens, and whatever i get off the ladder reward is a huge bonus. Anyways ive been trying to find a decent comp using Doc Ock, as i really like the character in this game coz of 2 things: high damage AOEburst, and the coolest walk animation. Fortunately, the new update provided him with a decent comp. Mockingbird, Doc Ock, and Groot. Groot's heal combined with Doc Ock's fairly decent leadership skill of a huge HP bonus makes for some powerful interactions between the 2 characters. Unfortunately, Mockingbird just felt like a random addition... But fortunately, she isnt that bad when ranked up. Im 2 bios away from 4-starring Doc Ock, and im working on getting Groot there too to see what these guys can do in that rank. Doc Ock's a pretty fun character to play, but i still really hate the recovery time in his spinning attack animation. You can cut the recovery short when you cast another spell right after, but if your target died during the spin animation and there's no target for your first skill within range, you are looking at a 1.5 seconds of recovery before you can start walking to the next target.
Sorry for the basic question but is there a way to unlock a specific character you want. Or is it all by chance?
All characters need biometrics to unlock. If you click them, it will tell you where you can get them (mostly in Elite levels). Some heroes you can only get bios in dimension rifts or chests. Everything can be unlocked by playing. Focus on your daily tasks and enjoy.
Wow, so combine that with VIP level 4 or above (15% heal on tagged out heros) and not only will the swapped in character heal, but Groot will heal 15% too). That would make a huge difference. The heal on tagging itself is OP since it works in every game mode except arena (so, including villian siege!). I'm also pretty happy with the arena overall, I've never recharged, and consistently place in that in either the 0-1% or 2-5% which gives 220 or 200 crystal reward. And that's with probably only averaging 6 days a week of the 10 rounds per day (I always forget to do my last match with a "bait team"). So that's a bigger crystal reward (per week) than doing all the daily achievements every day, and much more time (and energy) efficient.
Top five characters right now. Not saying other characters are bad, but these five are the hardest to replace characters for me, because they all bring something unique to the table. Feel free to list your top five! 1) Vision - Godly against mobs, boss and arena, excels in every aspect of the game. Super safe kite with massive damage, uniform makes him universal so no way to counter him with a speed character, 4-star physical damage immunity skill allows him to hard counter all physical damage characters (i.e. all the top tier characters) in the game, and gives him a huge window to stand toe-to-toe against physical bosses. No weaknesses, probably the strongest 1v1 character right now when buffed by Ronan's leadership skill. 2) Spiderman - Super safe kite against all bosses and does massive damage, a little bit weaker against the crowd especially when autoplayed, countered by top combat characters, weak leadership skill, but still the best speed character in the game by a large margin. 3) War Machine - All three of his moves comes out instantly and breaks super armor/stuns the opponent, gives him the best kite in the game. Great leadership skill with 5% physical damage per level, just a great character against everything. Hard countered by Spiderman unfortunately due to his blaster type. 4) Luke Cage - Overpowered leadership skill makes him the best combat character in the end. Low cooldown, consistent damage skills, self-healing 10%, but it is really his leadership skill that takes him over the top. In arena every one of your character will get a 8-second physical immunity window once you get him to 4 stars, it is just too good consider how short each arena fight is. Not a great kiter and really needs to be able to toe-to-toe the bosses, fortunately his leadership skill allows him to do just that against physical bosses, and in villain siege you can get at least two procs per fight, it is a lot of unanswered damage. 5) Groot - Only character that can heal himself as well as the team! Get Groot in, cast the AOE heal over time, switch your tank in and the boss just can't outdamage your healing. Also great for kiters like Spiderman and Warmachine to heal back to full against boss with 120K health and up in late game. You only need to get him to 3-star to be a key contributor for your 4-5 star heroes.
^Good list, but i wont rate Luke Cage that high... Still, probably a close 6th or 7th. With the rest of the others mentioned above (again except Luke Cage) i would try to fit in Black Widow. Then solid 6th, 7th or 8th to Ultron, Iron Man and Luke Cage in no particular order. Here are my reasons for my picks: Black Widow is fantastic for kiting. Her projectiles almost fire instantly or at least pretty safely, and her skill that inflicts the electricity thingy ticks for damage-over-time that consistently interrupts enemy's movement when kiting. Also, it is difficult to ignore how EASY it is to get her bios. This doesnt affect her kit per se, but the fact that she grows stronger faster is huge for her. Ultron is probably the best mob brawler, mostly because of his beastly stats and Universal type. His kit is pretty straightforward, but they are surprisingly fast and can be chained without retaliation from most other characters when in 1v1. Also a highlight that every single one of his skills have huge AOE. May not be the best 1v1, but steamrolls through mobs like a boss, even when autoplayed. His 1v1 is still pretty decent, but is mostly trading chained skills for a few hits then he can run around to refresh his combo. Iron Man is the best hit-n-run character. All his skills takes good positioning to pull off without taking damage (not that hard to pull off) but what makes him best at it is his very fast recovery from his skills. He can basically get out of the way right after he fires his skills for easy kiting. He sucks in auto-play though, pretty much like other energy-types (except vision). Smart micro-ing him, and it's possible to 1v1 a higher level villain siege doc ock, or at least take him down to near-lethal when time runs out. Reason why i wont rate Luke Cage that high is that in order to trade well, you have to pray to RNGsus that his leadership skill procs at the right time, which is when skill damage are the ones mitigated. It procs only once every minute too, so despite it being a very strong effect, it's still a bit luck based. On the bright side, it usually procs early and he can get ahead from there.
I want to add that Spiderman's just plain OP in the arena and in boss fights. He just wins trades, even those against that are supposed to counter him (combat type).
Is Ultron really that good? I have him at 3 stars, none of his skills seem to stun or interrupt, I am having an easier time kiting with Captain Marvel than him. His stats are good of course, just not sure if he is a big upgrade over Marvel who can be used in Journalist team as well. I find Ironman to be inferior to War Machine / Vision in every way, Black Widow to be inferior to Spiderman in every way, that is why they didn't make the list. Luke's leadership procs for all three character (I think it resets the cooldown when you tag the next character in? Need to confirm, even if it doesn't you should get two procs per arena fight), just too beastly. Rest of his skills are meh but I think his 5 star skill makes him a good kiter again. Ronan would probably be my sixth, relatively safe kites (all three skills stuns or interrupts), and best leadership stats boost in the game.
Ultron's leap strike interrupts and has a short stun, and it starts his burst combo. I agree about Ironman being inferior to the other 2 mentioned. That's why i said iron man belongs to either the 6, 7 or 8th in my ranking. He still deserves the mention as he's still one of the best characters when levelled up. He's pretty crappy without his unibeam. Unibeam easily combos with his interrupt+knockback skill and makes the unibeam pretty safe despite being a slow channelling skill. Ronan's really got a strong leadership stat, no question about that. However the tracking in his skills are quite terrible and it causes them to whiff when you have an ally summoned or an ally shifter when your enemy switches targets. His skills also come out pretty slow compared to Ultron. Im still 40-ish bios to get Ronan to 4-stars, but from what i see, Ultron's more consistent when it comes to auto-play farming. Bottomline, If one wants to have Ronan as leader, it's most likely Vision and either Ultron or Destroyer that rounds up the team. Vision's just a great overall character with very good 1v1 trade potential (almost on par with spidey, but spidey has crappy mob control) and his Bios can be farmed. Between Ultron and Destroyer, i prefer Ultron coz despite having a solid stun, Destroyer's just painfully slow and he takes a bit of damage when he deals them. I dont know how viable Black Bolt is since i didnt put resources into him. It's really unfortunate that the asgardian brothers' kits are a bit lackluster coz they couldve been the best pair with Ronan as leader as they have additional synergy stat bonuses and a bonus active skill.
Star Lord is pretty fun so far. Going to rank him and Gamora to at least 3* (even though that means delaying both Carol and Hulk's progress towards rank 5). Speaking of rank 5 Hulk, does anyone have that? What's his final active like performance wise? (It's also very weird that some characters have a preview of all 4 actives and some don't. Why the inconsistency?)
