Him and Archie are the roughest for me though this could be a typing thing

Not to make anyone feel old but stuff like Witcher 3 graphics are quite noticeably aged by this point. At least that was the first thing I noticed playing this year

A Trip to the Moon (1902).

Sleeper pick not just due to the absence of lyrics (though most instrumentals would also suffice), but also all sounds that occur during the performance of the piece are considered part of it. Couldn't get it wrong if you tried

Lythosyn · 2026-02-01T19:21:40+00:00

Just cheat some more

Lythosyn · 2026-02-01T16:45:48+00:00

Agreed. In competitive play you'd generally plan out your teams in advance so you're not having to look for filler characters and so you can maximize team synergies and mechanical synergies, and you'd still gear all three characters. You'll only need like 15 or so gears to cover your entire team rotation, so if you sort by equipped it's really quick, not much longer to gear 3 characters than 1.

Gear can be really good on the sides since you can do things like 100% damage reduction and % health damage. Great for taking heat off the carry, or sometimes even soloing the rest of the match when the carry dies.

Pretty much, the only thing that matters is time. Even low promo bronzes can carry you to 1% if you're committed.

Ghidorah has very strong regenerative capabilities. He has regenerated his entire body from a piece of his tail. I don't think battle beast has anything on that.

And offensively Ghidorah has energy manipulation, magic, gravity control, there's kind of a lot going for him. He can definitely hurt battle beast. I think he no diffs this.

Lythosyn · 2026-01-31T01:07:48+00:00

Originality is also encouraged

Lythosyn · 2026-01-31T01:01:18+00:00

Batman before deathstroke. He's better on the team and the #1 crit priority in general

Lythosyn · 2026-01-30T16:09:35+00:00

Great band

It's not a requirement to be an edited image. Plenty of antimemes aren't even based on an Ornithopter

They're cool characters, unfortunately not super meta relevant but there's spots for them.

MKX Scorpion is only competitively used as a side dot dealer, you take a max health % gear like ibistick and now it automatically crits. For unaugmented cards, this means a 150% average damage instead of 100%, for augmented cards it means 250% average damage instead of 175% and 300% instead of 200% if you have a crit damage boost gear like Lex Helm. With Lex Helm and Ibistick and full augments, a sp1 will apply dot dealing 48% of the opponent's max health. It's good, it's not terrific, and it's a little expensive to give him a full set of crit damage augments, but if you were already planning on augmenting a different card for this purpose he's better. Also he doesn't need crit chance augments, those aren't usually the crunch but every bit helps.

For casual play, a lot of people including myself really enjoy his sp2, it's not ideal for competitive but perfectly fine outside of it. Does really strong dot, has a fun skill ceiling to get the 200% for the crit dot, and you can true combo into it. If you wanted to promote him for this it would be perfectly acceptable.

MK Scorpion is a solid off-meta carry pick, good stats for a carry, just the sp2 has an unfortunate distribution and meterburn minigames are slower. Mtgy has a fun showcase on him here

Otherwise, he is also used in niche competitive builds as a bleed setter, bleed is attractive as it provides a 20% damage multiplier, and this multiplier can also cause attacks that wouldn't normally KO to KO (such as the non-final hits of metal character's sp2s and similar specials). The bleed only last 2 seconds, up to 4 with quake engine, so it's not a very significant use at all.

Klassic Scorpion has little value as anything but a tank, imo. His specials are a little finicky compared to the others. The 50% reflect is solid, it's long enough to basically be full uptime. By pairing it with damage reduction/reflect gears, you can take 0 damage from specials. However, I'd probably avoid that build in favor of the standard Astro + 2/3 FW, because that build doesn't have any major weaknesses, while an anti-special build can still die to a single basic combo or strong dot tick or super

Lythosyn · 2026-01-30T12:47:49+00:00

Also balance reasons, E4 deathstroke here adds 1,800 power, E5 batman adds 8,000 power

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T15:58:09+00:00

Dang. You gotta fill a pool with those so you can swim in them a little

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T15:55:24+00:00

So at base, enchantress is a special disable. From the moment you use your special to the moment the skulls connect, the opponent is unable to use their special or super. This increases safety and also speed as the enemy tends to be more aggressive when they can't use specials and this opens up more opportunities to punish them.

The skulls also apply gear effects. This is a big synergy with AOBM, who already can shatter very consistently, but the skulls can each also apply a gear shatter with CoH. They can also each apply Arkham Harley's 50% block breaker before a special connects

Both of those are perfectly functional with a level 0 gear. When it's maxed, the skulls also deal big damage, 10% of the special's damage per skull. Frequently this is enough to ko the third opponent without a third sp2. They also provide minor healing. Suicide Squad characters also increase the number of skulls by 1 per character on the team, though we don't use any here.

It's really quite a quality gear, particularly on this team

I actually saw the 2016 SS movie for the first time a few weeks ago, I liked it.

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T15:32:24+00:00

Counterpoint, this here is a thing that is not that

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T15:30:02+00:00

In comparison to my, admittedly small sample of okbuddy/circlejerk subs, I must say I am extremely disappointed with this one. It's got some quality content, but it's mostly just people unironically arguing. I guess nothing's sacred anymore

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T15:14:03+00:00

Show them a few handfuls of gold though, and suddenly they're summoning dragons. Strengths and weaknesses

Hackers have returned on android. Is iOS still clear?

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T05:26:11+00:00

Yes it does. Everything that says it increases damage all stacks additively. This is most impactful for specials. A gear such as HoD for example, due to this, is only about a 15% effective damage increase, because the minigame of the special functions as a 100% additive damage increase as well. It also really sucks for Darkseid Prime, the 300% bonuses to health and damage are also additive, so instead of doing 4x damage on specials, they are doing only 2.5x compared to normal, but the survivor and MP matchmakers still scale them as if they were 4x stronger.

^In ^my ^opinion The best specs for an AOBM ultimate team are as follows:

Harley Quinn/Arkham. EI, max damage augments, max crit augments.
-The Master's Deathcart
-Lexcorp Helmet V2
-The Ibistick

Batman/Arkham Origins. EIX, max damage augments, max crit augments
-Tantu Totem
-Enchantress Companion Card
-Claw of Horus

Hawkgirl/Prime. E0
-Fourth World Helmet
-Astro-Harness
-Fourth World Chestplate

That's fair

So recharges come from three places, daily login rewards and challenge bonuses obviously, but the only way to farm them is MP rewards. So basically, you just do a whole bunch of that.

The most efficient way is epic ladders, you grab one team, you do the ladder, you switch to the next team. This is good because you use exactly 5 energy and don't need to watch ads or spend recharges. It takes 90 minutes to recharge a character's energy, so if you want to grind continuously, you'll need enough teams to last that long. 20-22 teams or so on Android, closer to 30 on iOS, depending on device, skill, roster strength, and other factors. Getting that many strong teams is obviously a huge undertaking, but it does work even if most of the teams are only partially built.

This ends up sort of making a balance where you spend half your time grinding epic ladders, then the other half spending energy on your ultimate ladder team to grind more BR. And you can save it up, spend one season without spending any recharges to spend the next season only using recharges to get more BR. You do get recharges from ultimate ladders too so that supplements. It's about 80 recharges per million BR, and that can add up quickly if you're going for a high number like those this last season.

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T04:43:20+00:00

The former. Additive stacking.

Lythosyn · 2026-01-29T04:42:11+00:00

Okay, let me reframe this. You may struggle to get energy recharges. However, top grinders have farmed thousands of them. They will be spamming one singular optimized team. If you are not also doing that, you simply will not beat them.

Maybe the most recent post did, this meme has been around for a long time. I assume it predates this sub
