So here are my characters in order of unlock Zatanna - So even as a 2 star (now 3) she has been permanently on my main squad. She is probably the best all-rounder of the game so far. Her basic attack is fairly weak but I usually have her finish off opponents. Her healing ability really is the best so far and her mass attack is fairly strong. Green Lantern - He's off my main squad right now even though he is my only 4 star. He's a good hitter with 2 different mass attacks and one of them does damange over time (DOT). Problem is he doesn't bring much else to the table, but his 2nd mass attack actually recharges fairly quickly. He's a solid character and he's been great for farming PvP towers. The problem is I'd have to give up Huntress, Harley, or a healer to put him back in. Huntress - So her two main attacks do DOT and her 2nd attack does massive damage to one target and serious DOT. She also has a group attack. She's pretty much my assassin right now. She is good for targetting a specific opponent and whittling away their health quickly. Lex Luthor - Lex is kind of unimpressive and I actually replaced him on my main squad for awhile. He's back on because as you get farther you almost need two healers. His standard attack is incredibly weak and his heal is not as good as Zatanna's even after it is levelled. He does a massive damage orbital strike but it's less effective than similar attacks from Huntress or Deadshot. If I didn't need his heal I would replace him again. Deadshot - Deadshot replaced Green Lantern on my main squad but he's since been replaced by Harley Quinn. His standard attack is decent and can do DOT and so can his sniper rifle which does massive damage. He's basically a bad guy version of Huntress and makes for a decent assassin. Cheetah - So far the least useful character. Instead of a group damage attack she has an attack buff, which is kind of "meh". Might be useful but it means she loses an attack that turn and the game rarely gives you a break for anything other than attacking or healing. Her other attacks can do DOT and she also has a massive damage attack. If it weren't for the attack buff I might be more interested. As it is she is stuck farming PvP towers. Chemo - Really just a bad guy Green Lantern and a D-list villian at that. Stuck farming PvP towers. Bane - Not sure why Bane of all characters has a defense buff. He's got a good group damage attack and a fairly strong standard attack. Seems like a strong character but never put him on the main squad. Harley Quinn - She has two attacks that can stun and if levelled one of them can stun for 2 turns. She actually doesn't need her group damage attack because once her other attacks are upgraded to stun you'll never use them. The downside is on auto-play the AI plays her really stupid and doesn't take advantage of her stun ability. I basically use her to keep 1 or 2 opponents out of the fight. Makes boss fights much easier. She's a game changer.
So I'm guessing death stroke doesn't pop up on the regular map? I would buy characters, but I don't have any NZ money
I think Huntress was a free draw at the beginning? Lex Luthor and Deadshot were from the map. I got them on the first try. With one exception, unless I got a character the first time I did a character tower I never get them. I got Chemo and Bane from clearing character towers on Legendary. It happened the first time I beat them on Legendary. However, they were not the characters identified. I think it was the Cyborg and Wonder Woman tower. Harley Quinn was given to me when I beat her tower on Legendary. Not sure if it was because I beat the tower on top difficulty or it was random draw. I have played the Black Canary tower on every difficulty dozens of times, possibly over a 100 times, with no luck. I keep trying it as a test. It's the cheapest one. Here are the characters I have seen towers for so far - Chapter 1 - Lex Luthor - received after beating on Heroic difficulty Deadshot - received after beating on Heroic difficulty Chapter 2 - Black Canary Wonder Woman Cyborg Harley Quinn - received after beating on Legendary difficulty Joker Chapter 3 - Hawkgirl Raven Star Sapphire Mirror Master Deathstroke Bizarro Chapter 4 - Black Adam Shazam ??? (Not all the way through yet) I am currently sitting on 960 coins. Going to attempt a Legendary pull when I get to 1000.
Went back through the maps this morning before work. Here's a better list Chapter 1 - Oa Cheetah - Manhunter Ruins - received after beating on Heroic difficulty Lex Luthor - Hall of Great Service - received after beating on Heroic difficulty Chapter 2 - Themyscira Black Canary - The Memory Chair Deadshot - Sphere of Truth received after beating on Heroic difficulty Wonder Woman - Temple of Athena - received Bane after beating on Legendary difficulty Cyborg - Temple of Athena - received Chemo after beating on Legendary difficulty Harley Quinn - Reform Island Prison - received after beating on Legendary difficulty Joker - Reform Island Prison Chapter 3 - Thanagar Hawkgirl - Wingman Base Raven - Wingman Base Star Sapphire - Wingman Base Mirror Master - Lower Thanagar Deathstroke - Lower Thanagar Bizarro - Nth Metal Corridor Chapter 4 - Qward Black Adam - Wastelands Shazam - Husk of the Anti-Monitor Sinestro - Central Power Battery Did my Legendary pull last night, but only got standard Deathstroke. He's one of my favorites so yay except I would rather have not used the extra 200 coins just to get a standard character. His abilities largely mimic Deadshot.
I haven't done an in-depth compare because I am super lazy but I think there might be a slight variation in their upgrade skill trees. Other than that the effect and type of attacks are identical between the 3 of them. On the other hand, Harley Quinn essentially has the same 3 attacks but is differentiated by her stun abilities. So maybe the upgrade trees provide more variety. I vaguely remember that Deadshot could do DOT like Huntress but seemed to lean more towards attack buffs than bleed. I could be wrong.
So I also got chemo and bane from the Wonder Woman and cyborg battles (which sucks)... I'm at 510 coins , so still a while away from a legendary pull.
I find it discouraging that you got the exact same pulls on the exact same towers as I did. The number of issues still present does not make me hopeful for a wide release soon.
Btw I got Harley Quinn and you are right, she's pretty awesome. She has replaced my huntress. Edit : I'm bored of the game. Will wait till they make improvements before I play it again.
How long is chapter 2??? It feels like forever. I just want to get to chapter 3, because if I'm not mistaken DS is obtainable in one of the towers? Could someone give me an SS, so I know which one? Thanks.
It probably close to 3 times the length of Chapter 1 and Deathstroke sits close to the beginning of the last 3rd of chapter 2. Did that make sense? Although I pulled Deathstroke from a pack, I did try his tower on Legendary and I'm afraid you can't draw him. So far it appears the character towers are not random on their character drops. I've probably done Black Canary over 100 times just trying to see if it is possible. I think the game is still pretty bugged in its current state.
Thank you Java, you've been very helpful. I'm still hoping he'll drop when I do his tower. I contacted WB twice, and I told them about the issues. The answers they gave are hilariously awful.
I'm thinking there isn't much of a playerbase right now. I have finished the entire game on Heroic (standard) difficulty and the endgame award is pretty sad. I think the game has a lot of potential but I'm also very leery of WB games right now after the fiasco that was Mortal Kombat X. There is a lot of potential here but as it is right now it would rate a 2 star from me using TA's rating system.
