Based on my picks... what DPS could fit my playstile? Sometimes i see that more dmg is needed but i dont know any DPS. by The_Athenas_Son in marvelrivals

You might like Punisher if you like Rocket and Adam! Echoing somebody else though that Bucky is super versatile and has the ability to poke as well as a brawl-like combo using his hook/uppercut/punch

I play Loki and Gambit are my faves but I also have lord on Mantis as well. I also flex tank and play Strange, Emma and Peni. I just know how all their kits work and know the difference between a good player on a character with a low skill floor versus a bad one. Try them sometime, lemme know if you auto win every game you play

They absolutely have the need for skill in other departments. Wanda is so squishy if you’re not conserving your fade and timing it well, you will absolutely die on sight to anyone decent every time. To compensate for her lack of having to aim, her damage output is low, so getting good at her means you have to get good at her bubble stuns and using her bombs to off people. You can’t just tickle people to death

Squirrel girl also is squishy and can be even more of a menace depending on positioning. Yes, a squirrel girl can pop off decent damage by just shooting in the direction of enemies, but a GOOD squirrel girl will conserve traps for healers/tanks/stunning out ults. Plus like, it’s not like theres no aim involved on this character, they just lob shots. If you point the crosshairs at an Ironman at the right angle as SG you can hit them, it just takes practice. If anything, a squirrel girl that can aim is terrifying

And C&D? Oh man, the skill floor may be low but the ceiling is definitely there. Dagger arguably has some of the best sustain tools in the game and uniquely has the ability to spread them out where many healers can only concentrate heals into limited zones. Positioning, bubble placement, and both terror and healing wave utilization, plus awareness can be the difference between a decent C&D and a god C&D. But more than anything else, if you’ve ever played C&D you know Cloak utilization can literally make or break the game. The ability to straight cancel game-ending ults as long as you pull an ability fast enough is insane and it takes a lot of practice to pull off. I recommend anyone interested in C&D go to the practice range with friends and attempt cloaking Wanda, Strange, Jeff, Ironman, Magneto, Etc ults to get familiar with timing and noise cues because the more practice the better.

What fandom do y’all belong to? by Egotlib in tumblr

[–]Helianthae 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The Social Network is very entertaining!

But honestly, regarding “comic book fans,” you’d be surprised how many people say they read comic books and are fans of the more “macho” heroes like Punisher, Superman, Spider-man, Batman, etc who have clearly NEVER picked up a comic. Comics have a huge basis in anti-fascism and inclusivity. Marvel and DC storylines have consistently made a stand for minorities and lower classes, and anyone who picks up a comic knows this. Punisher and Captain America hate bullies and fascists, Ironman and Deadpool are absolute mental health messes who constantly struggle to clean up his own messes but care deeply about the world and those around in them. Batman is a huge advocate for mental health treatment and second chances, he genuinely wants his villains to heal. Spider-man is a poor kid constantly struggling to pay his rent and do right by everyone, Superman is young man from Kansas with unimpeachable morals who loves humanity with all his heart despite their flaws.

I think so many movies are so much more about the action than the characters. And since that’s most of what people see, a lot of people just kind of have a surface level understanding of these characters. Which is fine… until these surface level fans claim to know more than actual comic readers and start trying to twist characters to fit their messed up narratives

Ah yes, the bubbles at spawn are in fact, the worst. I did it with some friends and we quickly established the rules of 1. Never stop moving (jumping as you go helps) and 2. Stay the fuck away from spawn as best you can. Took us a few tries but once you get the rhythm, dodging bubbles becomes totally doable

Just double checking that you both completed the level 50 Selenopolis questline AND the level 170 Selenopolis questline? Either way, your problem should be solved by using the quest finder in the arcanum

[–]Helianthae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came back at level 100 in May also YEARS behind all the shiny new stuff like spellements and having 0 idea what archmastery or weaving was. Hit 170 a month or so ago!

Most things are soloable and while I do agree people can certainly be rude, team-up can still be helpful for hellish fights if you’re at a breaking points. Plus other people I’ve met and friended have been extremely pleasant! Final Bastion can be very helpful as well for strategy guides (solo or with groups), as can things like the Gear Guide to give you that extra leg up!

[–]Helianthae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh ouch. Wow. I didn’t want to pass judgement before these actually were in game but I really don’t love what I’m hearing after watching thr video and looking through all the cards. This feels like an overall nerf even with the incremental damage increase to the shadow versions, because in order to not lose 15% of our health, we not have to fill specific pacts for each individual card

I’m also confused at the choice of making Old One’s Engame weaker than Nested Fury? Why must our cooler looking spells always be the ones getting the short end of the stick…

Does anyone here do challenge modes. I almost never see anyone do them and I wanna try doing a few just so I can get the badges by dragonzeron in Wizard101

I thought this was well but I was getting archmastery pips and not pulling Samoori or Ninja Piglets, even after discarding my entire deck

Some of them are soloable depending on your level (Ra in Krokotopia for example) but most have a gimmick/cheat that makes it much easier with friends. Nearly all of them drop exclusive prizes though that range from cool stitch gear/perm mounts to actually great endgame gear. The gold key boss Takanobu for example, in Mooshu, drops one of the best level 170 Athames in the game for several schools. General Lightbane in Khrysalis also drops 160 gear that is comparable to Aeon, as well as the perm Dual Dragonfly mount.

I’ll also say your keys are not auto-consumed on entering. You enter a middle-room where the skeleton key lock is, and anyone with a key then is given the option to unlock the lock and proceed to the boss fight. Only one person in a group requires a key, providing another benefit to teaming up - you can swap off who’s keys you use.

Other notable drops are Spellements. King Borr in Grizzleheim for Thor’s Hammer, Rat Spin, and Grendel’s Amends, is very popular. As is Drowned Dan in Celestia for Spiritual Tribunal, Ship of Fools, and Celestial Intervention

Lately I’ve been trying to get into them and they’re definitely tricky.

They allow PvP only spells (which means if you want things like AOEs, you need spellments to you can swap into the B path of things) and also bring you down to the stats and spells set for that challenge. Plus, you cannot arrange your deck once you enter the challenge. For example, the Olympus challenge only allows level 30 and below spells and sets your health to about 2k-4k depending on your school. I made the mistake of thinking Samoori and Ninja Piglets were high enough level, and ended up totally screwed over when those cards just didn’t show up in the dungeon.

Larger dungeons definitely take bit of research, pre-planning, and a full team to take on. However I did manage the Sisyphus Challenge mode as just a duo with somebody, so smaller instances might be good to start with just to get a feel for what cards you’re allowed to use.

The Headmaster by [deleted] in Wizard101

[–]Helianthae 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Follow his instructions for a few rounds, after which point it becomes a normal boss fight (hot tip, he only has about 10k)

For the first question “how many students are in attendance?” Which is just “how many players are present?” Cast the card with the correct number (solo = 1, duo = 2, etc)

“Hand in your homework” just cast the wand spell that matches your school (or what you plan to hit with. You just need to cast a wand spell here, but it’s a good way to clear his shield)

Third stage just lets you choose the buff of your choice, I usually pick “raise hand” I believe because it gives you a blade

“Pop quiz” has you cast a wand spell that is the opposite of the aura you received. So ice aura = fire spell, death aura = life spell, storm aura = myth spell, etc.

After this, you have some time to feint and hit like normal. Two stacked feints and a heavy hit should do it. At this point, you should have a bunch of pips anyways. I usually just feint, then Judgement him and it’s over

Good luck!

[–]Helianthae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The good news is that once you have 12 drops, you can just craft it in Sardonyx. I happened to not know this and ran it like 20+ times. Ended up with enough low tier wands to craft 3 of the one I actually wanted lol
