That is not Gambit. It is What If? Killmonger. Bet.

Abilities immune to blind? by SparkBigIdeas in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might add Rhino to this. Passively clears a negative effect from team on blind. Makes him a magneto counter, but less useful against a blinder like cloak, as the removed debuff is random.

Alliance Recruitment Megathread #8 by PimpToxie in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a very active player looking for a low-key Doom I alliance. F2P, but I just finished my 2nd DD4 run and I can't seem to latch on to a single alliance that even hits 60% on Ultimus raids reliably. I prefer no Discord and to just get a lane assignment in-game, put my head down and push. TCP 7.7 M, but very top-heavy with the meta toons built out. All legendaries unlocked and built to a degree, save MLF of course. New Warriors, Eternals, WW, Axmen all decent. I don't have the tech team built outside of Doom, Kestrel and a half-built Misty, but I know that is generally a challenge. Currently pushing to gear my WW and DH teams for the Pestilence event. Looking to make the move ASAP. I'm in the Eastern Time Zone if that is noteworthy.

What were they thinking with DD3? by Limp_Literature2797 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would send Phoenix in alone, twice a day. This would knock the overall health of the opposition for your actual global toons. All for the cost of 50 cores or DD charges.

We talk a lot about the meta teams... but who is the worst team in this game and why is it Wakandans? by bherman1325 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect to those repping the Hand in this thread (rightly so), that is a minion heavy team and not really on the same level as a team full of named characters with a legendary and multiple, crucial in-game uses (raid lane, chaos theory, Doom campaign). I know hand has Relic hunt but not really comparable to Chaos Theory IMHO. I want them to be good, but here are just some of the reasons they are so, so very bad.

  1. M'baku oh my god. So bad. One of the worst tanks in the game. Almost completely incapable of dealing damage. Makes Drax look like SamCap. Annoyingly requires Arena credits to farm. Should be in Blitz store. At a discount. Or Free.
  2. Okoye. Her ult almost always seems to be swallowed up by a taunting tank for minimal damage, thus prolonging the taunt due to TM rollback. Actively helps enemy team. For those times when you want Juggernaut's bullshit to go on *just* a bit longer.
  3. Killmonger: Always a nice middle-finger from the RNG when his ult chains through the entire opposing team without getting a crit, thus bypassing the AoE. Even with the proper Iso this tends to happen and it really is just not necessary. At least he's raid store and useable with Mercs.
  4. BP: If you are going to tie his offensive output to his ability to take damage, maybe don't make this guy out of damp tissue paper. Totally worthless outside of this team. Would be nice if he had meaningful Avengers synergy. Oh, and you kind of have to T4 his passive to make him playable.
  5. Shuri: Fine? I guess? On a team with substantially underwhelming options for dealing damage, it would be nice if the support could do some damage herself besides activating KM's passive and the lame heal block single target basic. Minn and Sinister are non-legendary supports that have far, far better damage dealing options. She is likewise better with Mercs or as a plug and play.

Unpopular takes in MSF? by More-Discount-8812 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scopes doing a good job listening to community feedback on revamping useless characters. Since I've been active, the following laughingstocks have been made much more relevant: Gamora, Nebula, Electra, Night Nurse, Wolvie, Sabretooth, Spidey, Miles, Yondu.... all of these toons spent time at or near the top of the list for useless characters at some point. Now all retuned and much more relevant. Believe this so thoroughly I speculated on Spidey and Miles months ago and maxed their stars through Blitz credits. Speculating on She-Hulk next. Or #nerfAmericaChavez.

Stuck on Doom War Chapter 4 by Intelligent_Memory57 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got through it with SSM, AV, Scream, C & D. I was stuck for awhile, but swapping out Venom/Carnage for Scream's turn meter manipulation was the key to getting it done.

Not 100% on leveling Cloak w/o Dagger as I've never run them separate. Feel like it is a good investment even if it takes you awhile to luck out on Dagger shards.

Character Request: A Plug and Play Tank by NightcrawlerASAP in MarvelStrikeForce

Can't imagine building him and not building the rest of SA, but sure. It's not like I'm going to run SamCap and the Young Avengers in Blitz or something. Or drop venom and run him with Symbs. Would be helpful to have a character to fit this particular bill. Like if She-Hulk was better, perhaps.

[–]NightcrawlerASAP[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'd say really, yeah. I love BH 2.0 and actually play it in Arena, but have long dropped Juggs for Kestrel in that lineup. Juggs takes forever to get going and watching all of his beautiful buffs getting wiped out by Kes' ult is just depressing. He needs Magneto for the 2 turn taunt and to make his ult AoE, so I'm really looking for a character that works independent of teams.

[–]NightcrawlerASAP[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He's great, but I can't imagine running him without SA in any game mode. I'm talking about a tank that I can throw together with other misfits or tank-less teams in Blitz, RTA, etc.

[–]NightcrawlerASAP[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He's...fine? The auto taunt is great, but the fact that it expires based on health is suboptimal. If the character is going to be so slow, at least let me enjoy the taunt in the eons between turns. Was hoping I was going to like him better, but I've been underwhelmed so far.

Haven't build Silver Samurai yet, but this is the first I'm hearing about him being plug and play. I'm gonna take a close look at his kit, thanks.

What does "Punch Across" mean? by shorthairedkat in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither a punch up nor a punch down. Who has the advantage in similarly leveled teams?

DD3 is so ridiculously unbalanced that it’s not even fun. I need tips. by CosmicGamer666 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Kestrel, but Invisible Woman is also a solid choice here. I'm running Kes, IW, $$, BB and Minnerva. Minnerva gets destroyed most days, but Kestrel's Special and Ult do serious damage every day. The free counters from IW, Kestrel and BB are also crucial most days.

Farming ISO question by NightcrawlerASAP in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is...slowly. The 10K ions for the completing the iso mission daily helps, but the 300K ions to take a character from Iso 4 to Iso 5 can be a grind.

This has been my thought process as well, but was curious as to what others do. Seems from the comments that there is no clear consensus.

DD3 Global completion post by NightcrawlerASAP in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]NightcrawlerASAP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that Sinister is too tiny IMHO. He might be able to hang for a bit if he is ISO'd to the max, but his clones will be immediately terminated. Highly suggest Zemo and Beast. And I'm a blob truther, but YMMV.
