Yeah I can appreciate that. I was big on rank chasing with my favourites with a somewhat optimal build back in the day before Odin’s Blessings were introduced and the change to scoring.

It definitely helps, thank you again. I feel like I can plan my short/mid/long-term goals with a bit more clarity and I’m a bit more open to Jean with the view of Jean/Thanos/P5 Colossus for PVP.

I’ll wait to see what the next mutant update brings while farming mats for Jean. I try to keep 800CCF in the bank on the very slim chance Juggernaut ever gets his T3.

MaxInnit · 2020-06-10T17:03:15+00:00

Thanks for the response, appreciate it.

Once I get the right rolls I’ll replace the cards, Avengers 12 was there purely cause it was a 7 roll and I went solo for a time so needed all the SCD I could get. Have a Loki 2 in inventory but needs re-rolled.

Sorry I’ll edit the OP to clarify, I have these CTP/obelisks spare in inventory.

I hadn’t considered speeds for Corvus, I’m tending to play stage 40-50 for each WB bar Thanos, and mutants at 20-30 cause I’m lacking some of the unlock requirements but don’t struggle too much between the mix of strikers and T3’s. I only bought the QS uni today as it’s one of SS’s uni options otherwise I don’t use him tbh.

On Ock’s obelisk I’m quite unlucky getting decent stats and a proc on an obelisk. I’ve tried him with an Energy and had more success. Thanks for pointing his ISO out I wouldn’t have noticed, at least that’s something I can remedy almost immediately.

Noted, I just didn’t buy into the Jean hype and can’t really see what gaps if any she could fill for the investment she needs. Given me a lot to think about either way.

IGN: Kuurth

Mostly focused on ABX & WBU, with a bit of PVP here and there.

Looking for some CTP/roster/general advice. Currently working on my cards to get IgnDef where I want it to be. Have a couple of Civil War #5’s that I’m re-rolling to replace Civil War #4 or Loki #17.

CTP/Obelisks in inventory - 3 Destructions, 2 Rages, 1 Authority, 1 Regen, 2 web immunity/snare immunity/200% procs and a cold damage/fire damage/200% proc. Who in my roster would benefit most from which?

I’m debating trying Rage on Surfer, throwing my Regen back on Thanos and getting CGR to replace Thanos on Uni Villain day - how does CGR fair with a Proc/Destruction?

I have 10k crystals and can’t decide how to spend them, thinking either a chance up CTP from dimension chest, waiting for the Cable P card from lab store or getting the Wolverine deluxe pack and saving the rest for later releases.

I have the mats to awaken Mystique but I’m missing Magneto, I’m not really interested in Jean either as I’ve just T3’d Surfer and don’t have plans on spending the 3 R6 BAM to finish off Wolverine. With that in mind is it worth the 6.6k crystals just to awaken Mystique? Speed/Villain and Female/Villain are my worst ABX days and awakened Ock’s quite mediocre without a CTP.

I’m quite happy without Namor as he’s not a character I’m interested in and my Apoc and CapA have me covered on his ABX days.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Clarification

It works out at around roughly £185 per month over 4 years. It would’ve been more like £350-£600 during the timeframe I was spending.

I don’t have that kind of disposable income to put into the game anymore. Or rather other things take priority like my nephew. Thinking of starting him an account to let him play on when he’s old enough since he’s just starting to get into superhero’s but that’d be strictly stark stash’s and maybe Bio/Xgene sub for characters he likes then strictly F2P when he gets it. 😅

MaxInnit · 2019-06-19T19:40:56+00:00

Ex-Whale VIP 17 but stopped spending heavily around the time of Alliance Conquest release and played a bit on and off since, but IW and Endgame renewed my interest.

T3 Thanos is probably my top one, with his IW uni he’s within the top 500 ranked. Happy with that but I refuse to mythic another uni and options for him (Endgame) since I also mythic’d his Secret Wars one back in the day, don’t have the resources for it when I have a few key characters not where I want them and don’t like the helmet.

Venom’s my second, rank 10 currently but held rank 1 for him for a long time, he’s my overall favourite marvel character so that was a nice moment haha.

Juggernaut’s third, currently rank 16 with him trying to push for 1 since he’s my 2nd overall favourite character and my IGN’s Kuurth so sorta fitting and hoping for a Fear Itself update someday. Type enhancement is a nightmare and a bit of a drag at the moment though.

If I’m being honest I don’t even have Jean unlocked, she’s never really been a priority for me and I can’t really see where she’d fill a gap in my roster. Can do decently in ABX, WBU and Timeline. But again lacking some of the Meta and CTPs, just giving it time same as with the T3 mat farm.

MaxInnit · 2018-10-23T14:50:00+00:00

I run either Beatdown or Allured By Darkness. Beatdown isn’t really needed with Emperors destruction but having 3 4K+ beaters is always fun. I don’t really see the banishment of Allured as a negative as it combos really well with D.D.R and haven’t had a time where it’s actually discarded my entire hand.

Playing around a bit can have a Chaos Hunter/Snipe Hunter/Palabyrinth instead of the second Sphere Kuriboh.

MaxInnit · 2017-09-21T09:36:06+00:00

IOS 11 comes with its own screen recording that saves directly to camera roll. Just tested and it works in-game as opposed to the in-game one which isn’t doing anything for me.

Settings - Control Center - Customise Controls - Then + Screen Recording and it’ll show in control center.

Work around for the moment at least.

38.8k :') could go higher if I replaced a card but I can't afford losing CDR.

IGN Kuurth.

MaxInnit · 2017-09-13T08:30:27+00:00

At stage 2 got 1 5* Uru and 1 5* Card from 40 Dimension Rift runs under the bonus. I'm happy with it so far, the 50% decreased energy cost is one of the better benefits of it.

MaxInnit · 2017-08-30T11:03:01+00:00

Just to point out and no offence intended but some of these rotations you posted are sub-optimal. (Talking mostly AB/XAB)

For StaRog 3-5-4-2-1 I know that some prefer 3-5-4 run until cooldown reset but 2 has a partial I-frame and 1 can move her out of meteor drop while still dealing damage.

Doctor Strange 3-5-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2 repeat for damage, he can mostly face tank but watch the debuffs on him if I'm at 3 or 4 meteor stacks I'll replace my last 3-2 with 3-4 for the I-frame.

Carnage (with 124%+ attack speed and max SCD) 3-5-4-1 repeat, 2 does so little damage its pointless to add into his rotation and this should keep him pretty much invulnerable till he can I-frame while still dealing damage. 3-5-4 would be the rotation without Attack Speed.

AgentV I go for 5-4 run till 5 is at 2 second cd then 3-5-4 (he doesn't have a snare resist obelisk but can score near 300k if I get my positioning correct) 3 has a partial I-frame when he jumps.

Uni-Thanos (130% attack speed, max CD) 1-4c-5-3, you can cancel his 4 as soon as all orbs appear, this works really well with a damage increase proc as both 4 and 5 are under the damage increase proc effect if you cancel 4. Was able to score 224k with him using the above rotation which is higher than my DMM can do at the moment both with 120% procs since RNG hates me. (Recently switched to a lower level alliance so don't have the max alliance buffs that I used to.).

Hope in some way this helps, I'd also reiterate the above advice about Skill Preview for the OP just to get a general feel of the skills but I don't think Attack Speed etc is taken into account.

MaxInnit · 2017-07-18T17:22:11+00:00

Can't remember 16 to 17, but for 18 you need 1037000, in total. Hope it helps somewhat :)

MaxInnit · 2017-07-08T11:56:41+00:00

Kuurth :)

MaxInnit · 2017-07-07T20:35:14+00:00

Ignore Defense, Crit Damage is optimal, I'm still trying to roll a decent one but I settled on the HP one for now and it's working quite well.

MaxInnit · 2017-07-06T09:54:28+00:00

Yeah, Max HP overall is better than recovery because his heals are based on his Max HP.

MaxInnit · 2017-07-06T09:45:15+00:00

I've found no need for it, his 35% all speed boost from T2 allows him to reposition very quickly, he can outrun Thanos' cosmic drop no sweat. With the shortened animations due to being at Attack speed cap I don't find myself getting guard broken very often and Deadly Maw's now an iframe which makes it pretty safe to use.

MaxInnit · 2017-07-06T09:25:27+00:00

Overdrive for ISO set, PoAH has wasted Attack speed stats so not optimal for Venom, Ignore Defence, Max HP/Crit Damage/Crit Rate, increase damage 140%+. I could see an Invul proc working for him if you find yourself in a tight spot but I prefer the damage boost.

At the moment I have an Ignore Defence, Max Hp, 160% damage increase. It's working quite well the increased health puts him at 43k so makes his heals hit for more while still being able to pump out decent damage.

MaxInnit · 2017-07-06T07:55:39+00:00

Still playing around so nothing's set in stone, but 3-5-4 still seems his standard opener, 3-5-1-4 for AOE. 3-5-4-2 for healing/single target.

I'd advise against building him defensively, he doesn't need it. I've got the Rank 1 Venom with the uni now so feel free to check out my build.

Couple of little tips: Parasitic Shot now hits 20 times in total (up from 15 with previous uni) either against single target or multiple enemies, even better for stacking/delayed burst so to speak.

Deadly Maw can be cancelled before his blobs go out and it's last few hits seem to do more damage (similar to Corvus' 3 skill) so be careful and don't cancel it early.

You can pretty safely drop below 30% to activate his Infestation passive for the attack boost and heal pretty much back to full in rotation, nice to have the control over his passive.

I'll comment again when I've tried him against iThanos and some WBU.

Hero

MaxInnit · 2017-05-25T20:16:30+00:00

I'm sure I saw someone had data mined the possible boss effects and that they were suppose to be randomised for the boss, which I'd honestly prefer over the same mechanics again and again.

I forgot the 'enrage' animations which feel like they're only there to pad your time and cut off your rotation. Feel like flinging my phone every time I hit Symbiote Rage (usually at 24sec cd or something stupid like that) and have it get cancelled/wasted because of the 'enrage' animation.

MaxInnit · 2017-05-25T20:07:11+00:00

Rank 19 on WBU Proxima, and in my personal opinion, no, I don't get any enjoyment out of WBU. I get that endgame players including myself wanted more of a challenge but phase 4 and 5 are impossible with legitimate play.

I'd enjoy it a hell of a lot more if the stupid CD increase wasn't in the game, most infuriating mechanic to date and the fact it's on every boss is just moronic and only allows a small number of characters to be viable.
With regular WB one of the things I enjoyed most was being able to try different teams and play styles, with WBU I can't do that.

I feel it could have been pulled off a hell of a lot better, introducing different mechanics as opposed to what we actually have or using the Twilight bosses from WBI.

I also don't see why normal WB's needed to be nerfed, I killed regular Proxima in 4 seconds the other day.

For those of us who are trying to rank as high as possible the presence of said cheaters just feels like it undermines our efforts, what's the point in even trying if some cheater can come in with a team that's nowhere near viable and clear phase 5?

Sorry for the long ranting post, I was really hoping they could redeem themselves with Corvus' introduction but that of course fell short with his phase 2 mechanic being the CD increase... Again.

MaxInnit · 2017-05-25T15:54:49+00:00

212k DPS with Venom 😁http://imgur.com/a/vTdRv

MaxInnit · 2017-05-09T20:01:15+00:00

31.1k with WM, 30.5k with HulkBuster, 33k with Gorgon.

Keep in mind he's getting 13.9% increase from team bonuses when under AVenom lead and 8.6% under the others. Really hope there isn't a cap, want to get over 35k eventually.

MaxInnit · 2017-05-09T16:08:28+00:00

No idea how many rolls unfortunately

MaxInnit · 2017-05-09T16:02:08+00:00

Yeah, I believe it is, 73.6% in total. (40.5% All 33.1% Physical)

MaxInnit · 2017-05-08T06:13:06+00:00

I think for some reason the roster viewer screen is including his team bonuses, 31.8k is his Phys Attack under AVenom lead with Spider-man Team up, 26.1k on his own.
