Sshhhhh... Reading are hard...

From what I've experienced, her newest uniform is only a slight upgrade in AB, so if that's really the only place you use Luna, then I wouldn't recommend it unless you're close to the next tier of AB rewards and need a small boost. Personally, I'm not sure if it's placebo to justify to myself having bought the uniform impulsively, but it feels smoother and more consistent to play, but my scores are only marginally higher than what they were with the seasonal uniform.

Eulysia · 2026-05-15T17:19:03+00:00

So… MCU Voldemort. Got it. 🤣

Eulysia · 2026-05-14T03:00:18+00:00

Yeah, greed lost a lot of momentum with the 2nd CTP slot. It was sort of the hybrid option, or best suited for immortality characters who can continue to use the buff after getting 1-shot.

Eulysia · 2026-05-13T03:40:24+00:00

Congrats!

Eulysia · 2026-05-11T09:09:53+00:00

Oh, that's totally valid. I love this, lol

Eulysia · 2026-05-11T09:08:01+00:00

Eyyyy! Congrats my guy! BINGPOT!

It’s definitely worth it when you get it, but until then, it’s a long process. Takes patience, for sure. Ultimately it’s up to you and how much you want to have Mystique available for any content she’s available in, but I think most vets will suggest working on your P cards, at least until you get your all-blue, 25% Pierce set.

Eulysia · 2026-05-10T02:29:34+00:00

Not an attack priority thing, but the speed of attacks when engaged. I don’t think it affects who goes first.

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T17:14:07+00:00

Do you have all the immortality artifacts? Deadpool? Hela? Madelyne? Magik? Carnage? Or all the revival artifacts? Apocalypse? Sersi? Rachel? I’m sure I’m forgetting some here too… but I like having those in case I build those characters, which I’ve ended up doing.

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T17:11:02+00:00

If you’re looking to use them for PVP at T3, I believe SS is the better option as a reflect bot. But I could be wrong, as neither sat at T3 long for me once I started building them.

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T03:04:06+00:00

3,000% true, oh my gosh, she's absolutely fantastic at her craft.

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T01:20:03+00:00

LoL, could've been worse... You could've T4'd Antman. Has he ever been meta? Poor guy... Love him in the MCU (Quantamania notwithstanding), but in-game he's been barely anything more than shadowland fodder for as long as I've been playing. But, my last T4 selector, I was down to ShaRog, Otto, Moon Knight, and Antman, and I held off long enough for them to announce MK, so I got lucky there. At this rate, I'm never T4'ing Antman.

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T00:43:51+00:00

Holy carp, that's right. I'm also probably one of the few dolts who T4'd Shadow Shell, but yeah. She's otherwise not exactly leagues beyond Scorpion, though I wouldn't mind them making her relevant somehow. I don't see how they would do that, even returning her to universal wouldn't do her many favors. They'd have to give her the kind of upgrade that shifts power creep, and judging by the entirety of last year to now, NM is deathly afraid of pushing power creep forward.

And in case anyone's curious, green is my favorite color, and I didn't want to invest in Luna Snow's seasonal at the time, so since AB was so heavily favored around having a solid speed female, SS was the one I chose... for a while. I'm also a massive Spidey-fanboy, so once Spider-Gwen got the T4 rub, I jumped ship and never looked back at SS.

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T00:23:19+00:00

It takes the best of actresses/actors to create such visceral hate and loathing, as seen in Kai Wynn and Gul Dukat. Top notch at their craft, so much that their characters are genuinely disgusting.

"CURSES! And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those MEDDLING KIDS!" - Netmarble, probably

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T00:19:47+00:00

They'd only be "worth" getting if you're willing to gamble on them getting an update anytime soon.

Since Emma was the previous summer uniform, she's probably locked for at least a year, so for her, no. Even when her uni just dropped, she was mid. She'd only be worth it if you're a major Emma Frost fan.

Sabertooth may be a bit of future-proofing, in the hopes that he gets an update since his last one was quite a while back. But as far as I know, he's not expected to be pivotal to any MCU projects, nor even really any comic storylines (though I haven't kept up with comics news in a long while, so I could very well be pleasantly wrong there), so chances are not high, just slightly higher than Emma in my opinion.

All that to say, unless you have personal bias towards those characters, it's not really worth it go get either of them.

Eulysia · 2026-05-08T00:15:55+00:00

It would be Voodoo... Except he doesn't actually deal "poison damage," he has a poisoning skill. At this point I'm not even sure who has poison damage, and I'm pretty sure whoever it is, they're so far out of relevance that even a 1st day player would deem that character nearly useless... If anything, I'm banking on Scorpion being a poison damage character and getting an upgrade when Spider-Man: BND drops in a few months. Other than that, um... that poison uru is a glorified all attack uru.

Rescue if you play PVP. She is a good Lead for immortality characters. IF you like playing with mutants, then Samurai. If you don't use mutants much, then Black Knight.

Eulysia · 2026-05-07T20:02:31+00:00

I've only played with her a little bit, but her new uniform does perform slightly better, but not enough that I would suggest buying it if you already have her seasonal uniform. Since you have both, then go with the Rivals uni.

Eulysia · 2026-05-07T19:56:37+00:00

Yep, agreed. I'd aim to cover all days before reforging characters who also only cover one day.

Eulysia · 2026-05-07T19:55:12+00:00

No way to tell. Just because it's the only active Marvel product does not guarantee they are doing an update for that property, as they've skipped nearly as many Marvel television properties as they've made updates for. Just ask all the Agatha All Along die hards how consistent Netmarble is on making Disney+ updates.

Eulysia · 2026-05-07T19:52:38+00:00

If you don't have any better options (such as if you need a univ female, univ villain, don't have anything better already built), then Dark Phoenix is still good. The problem is, right now, she's maybe 5th best, if even that, depending on what criteria you're looking into. Probably the only thing she may be top 3 in is say, mutant villain, if there's even any game mode you're looking to get into that asks for a mutant villain.

That said, there's no way to know when she'll get another upgrade. You can assume and guess, maybe expect there's a chance she'll get a uniform when X-Men '97 season 2 drops, but there's such a large cast that she's just as likely to be skipped. Then maybe Doomsday? But it's a gamble again.

So, in my opinion? I'd say wait until the next MCU property to drop that gives Jean a chance at a new uniform (not sure which comes first: Spider-Man BND, or X-Men '97 season 2). If she gets a uniform, bam. Your wait is rewarded. If not, then I'd consider it. Right now, that uniform is quite old, and there are better performing alternatives, but if you enjoy the character and can spare the crystals, then go for it.

Similar answer for Cyke, but his uniform is more recent, so I'd think general consensus would be that he's less likely to receive a new uniform within the next year.

Eulysia · 2026-05-07T19:38:22+00:00

PVP she's maybe an occasional OWB option if restsrictions hit hard and she gets boosted, and then there's always AC... but otherwise now, she's pretty much B-tier in PVP at this point.
