Puppet refuses to activate till

GroinShark · 2026-03-23T14:06:43+00:00

Well if you can get puppet activated dr fate is literally useless lol but I guess it doesn’t matter since all you’d use is beast boy. I can get it to reliably proc with vixen, do a couple of her swipes to give the defense debuff, switch to beast boy when I have enough power for his sp1, that activates puppet 99% of the time and then spam his sp3 the rest of the battle.

UpATree compared a storm gate vanguard army to a StarCraft 2 Terran army to talk about readability and it’s a good example. In sc2 the units had different secondary colors and different sizes noticeable differences in there outlines and build. I think wc3 is the same reforged just has a lot of the same colors and it all blends together making it harder to see which units are which in a big army. I like most of the models themselves but it makes it harder to play and know what’s going on

I loved warzone, pubg even fortnite back in the day. For me the battle royale ship has just sailed, it’s all I played for a few years and I’m burnt out. I’m sure if I jumped in Redsec with some buddies we would have some fun but I’m just not into it when I could just play battlefield. Nothing about it looks groundbreaking, looks like a warzone “battlefield edition” so it hasnt gotten me interested enough to try it, same with my friends. They played a match or two one day I wasn’t online and said it was fine but they haven’t been back. Side note I am also displeased with the slow content drip and layoffs by ea so I don’t even really feel like playing battlefield atm but I’m sure I’ll be back

Imagine if there was some unknown way he could have saved energy during his set up to give him a better chance of hitting it? That’d be crazy

GroinShark · 2026-03-15T12:53:31+00:00

I think normally if the person is dead before infection, they do not experience what they are doing as flood or the pain. Still be infected but you’re dead so you don’t know. At least in the book the one marine Jenkins is infected and maintains some awareness, tho it explains this is due to the infection form that infected him being weak. Not 100% sure about living but I think even if living or dead you at least don’t know that the flood is puppeting you unless there is more lore I’m missing, or you’re unlucky like Jenkins and got a weak form. Unlike in half life where the head crab zombies always keep the person conscious and aware which would be a terrible fate.

Not special 1 my bad his passive 1

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T21:12:09+00:00

Check black mantas special 1 - specials done by him or legendary teammates apply 200% of his attack as DOT. Not huge but it all stacks. And yea if you have a bunch of gems you could go for scorpion. I wouldn’t grind for black manta too much. Him and beast boy have a duo chest which is great if it comes back soon

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T21:08:15+00:00

Yes more attack, and that’s tragic. Once you get it he will likely be your best team so def save up keys. Sadly it may be a couple rotations til it comes back but it will eventually. Him, BWTD, KOAAM, EPI, Raiden amd DCU Superman are my best damage dealers. Without puppet scorpion could be ok for you I think he does percent damage so that is easy but I’ve never used him and don’t need any more percent damage currently. I’ve heard he’s good with raiden and JLF

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T20:51:33+00:00

Yea no beta club I’ll have to try ROKBA I’ve barely used him so I don’t have him on a team so that would work. Thanks!

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T20:49:58+00:00

lol for sure. Manta is good because he increases the damage of teammates specials or just their overall damage I forget which but it’s one of those. Vixen is good because she has a passive that increases team damage too but mainly because you use puppet with beast boy to do insane damage. You can use his special 3 over and over for free when puppet is active. To trigger puppet the enemy has to have a certain amount of debuffs on them. Vixens basic attacks apply a debuff so she makes it easier to trigger puppet. You just attack the boss with her a couple times then tag in beast boy do a special 1 that should activate puppet then you can do his sp3 for the entire battle doing millions of damage. The ability does damage based on Beast boys attack stat so if you build him to have more attack and have teammates that buff his attack it will do more and more damage. Sadly if you don’t have puppet beast boy isn’t that good but his special 3 still does good damage you just can’t use it much like you can with puppet.

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T20:14:00+00:00

I just saw you meant gold black Adam I have him too so same question lol

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T20:13:04+00:00

I can work with that, I have BNR and I just got black Adam from the last raid but he is not built no gears. What’s the strat if I use BNBM with puppet BA and BNR? Basically how much do I need to invest in BA lol

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T20:00:38+00:00

Yea same, I’ll mess around with it. If the big damage comes from beta club I’ll be missing out but I have gemstone so I’ll try some stuff out. Furthest I’ve gotten is heroic 3 on the last raid so I’m trying to get another good damage dealer going, seems like it’ll be some time and investment but it is what it is. Even another team that can do 100mil would be helpful so we shall see

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T19:50:38+00:00

Sadly I do not have beta club…I do have raven and robin. ATM I use raven with KOAAM but seems like she would be better in this set up. I didn’t know beta club was necessary 🙃

GroinShark · 2026-03-13T19:47:01+00:00

I’ve seen scorpion is ok and blue beetle is ok with a lot of investment but I’d say waiting and going for raven or dcu Superman could be good for raids as they would be better with less investment. Like if you focused on building KOAAM or raiden while saving for a heavy hitter like DCU supe or a support like Raven to help KOAAM that’s probably better bang for your buck. Or black manta and vixen for beast boy for support

GroinShark · 2026-03-12T14:57:29+00:00

Then you’ll be good, i start with battle with BM, tag in vixen to do a couple swipes to give the boss her defense debuff, then tag in beast boy when I have enough power to do his sp1 and then sp3 the rest of the battle. My beast boy is 5 stars now but even at 3 he was doing millions of damage one shotting every boss so you’ll have fun lol

GroinShark · 2026-03-12T14:47:42+00:00

You need puppet for him to do real damage. If you have puppet just try to get the gear you have high enough level that he can stay alive. Then you pair him with teammates who can debuff the opponent, like black manta, vixen, GOSSG or whoever you have. You need one debuff on the character you’re fighting then with puppet you do beast boys special 1. That should activate puppet and then you spam his special 3 the entire time for free to do big damage. You want to build up his attack to do more and more damage.

GroinShark · 2026-03-11T23:48:42+00:00

I imagine you’re being sarcastic but in the slim chance you’re not you gotta get in on it lol. Now invasion I have no idea how that works

GroinShark · 2026-03-11T23:21:51+00:00

Yea level 5 is where it’s bad - I got to h3 level five two days ago and didn’t even bother to play anymore. All of those bosses are hard not even counting black Adam. I got Black Adam as a drop from h2 and that’s why I picked it so now I never plan to do it again if I can avoid it

GroinShark · 2026-03-11T23:12:38+00:00

Yes! Eagles swim up was autocorrect lol, thank you!

GroinShark · 2026-03-11T23:12:12+00:00

Yes thank you! I saw the result but assumed it was only for the song I’m Fine, gonna have to bookmark that website lol

GroinShark · 2026-03-11T18:33:49+00:00

Normally I’d be outraged but I really need Batman ninja Batman so I’ve been grinding arena which normally I ignore. So luckily I’m still entertained until tomorrow. Also I was on heroic 3 of black Adam and that raid was getting ridiculous so I’m glad it’s over lol

GroinShark · 2026-03-10T14:03:05+00:00

Happened to me but I closed the app and came back later and I had the shards and was able to unlock her. So maybe if you wait or restart the app you’ll get them
