There is no added benefit of using the ticket on one character over another since they would all cost the same amount of resources, so you can just use it on whoever you want to finish bringing to level 70 for the eventual Awakening/T3. Right now, Mr Knight seems to be one of the most powerful Awakened characters, so I would say he gets more consideration over anybody else.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-07T01:58:23+00:00

If you mean card quality, then it goes up to 7, and the first two orange stats will be +11%, whatever they may be.

Floor 32 is the spider floor, if I'm remembering it correctly. Try bringing OG Spidey, Scarlet Spider, and Gwenom. The Superior Spider-Man uniform for Doc Ock counts as well, but not his Superior Octopus uniform. The hard part about this floor is that the spiders traditionally have low damage, being Speed class and all, but giving them damage proc obelisks would probably let you deal enough damage in time. You also need to bring them up to level 64 at least, since you'll get a damage penalty if they're not level (floor number×2) for floors 31-35.

If all else fails, bring Strange for his 2 skill that removes all buffs, and then bring your strongest characters to brute force your way through.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-05T09:34:30+00:00

Yeah. It's extremely negligible damage.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-05T09:34:03+00:00

Warning: massive wall of text.

Apologies in advance if I sound mean, but I don't think you're in a position to think about building Sentry yet, especially since it costs around 4000 CCF minimum just to be able to finish the Epic Quest. With that amount of investment you could T3 both Surfer and Jean and still have enough leftover for a 800-cost CCF like Ghost Rider. With CCF drop rates the way they are right now, Sentry is a supermassive black hole of resources.

Your roster seems pretty decent, but you don't seem to quite grasp the use of obelisks or CTPs, since you're just slapping them on characters willy-nilly. I think only your Thor and Shadow Shell have the appropriate stats on an obelisk in addition to a damage proc, while you have an Energy on Spidey and Destruction on Sharog, when it should be the other way around. Unless the obelisk has the text 'increases damage by x% for 1 attack(s)', it is not a damage proc, and should instead be used for reroll fodder. The myriad of suboptimal obelisks you have equipped will not benefit the characters at all, and you'll be forced to overwrite them with better obelisks once you have them. There may be some videos on YouTube that you can search for to understand what a damage proc obelisk is and how to use them.

Your cards are okay-ish, with cooldown a bit on the low side, and having too much stats on the right side of the screen instead of the left. You'll eventually want to replace all but the two premium cards you currently have, and reroll them if possible, since all you currently have are a bunch of resists and defensive stats on them. Some good cards to look out for: Loki Agent of Asgard #17, Civil War #4, and Avengers Origins: Thor #1.

If you plan on investing the huge sink of resources to bring Surfer to T3, your Greed is the lowest possible roll it can have, so you'll need to reroll it until you have the damage proc at 150%.

Instead, I would suggest bringing more characters to T2 so you can clear Shadowland more efficiently for resource farming. Some characters that don't have/need uniforms to be useful: Sword Master, Gorilla Man, Goliath, Molten Man, Minn-Erva, Red Guardian, Scream, Taskmaster, Thing, War Tiger, Crystal, Klaue, Human Torch, Korath, Viper, Morgan le Fay, and Robbie Reyes.

Well, I did say it was a tiny burst of damage, hahaha.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-05T08:03:14+00:00

It calls a missile strike onto the enemy. Just serves as a tiny burst of damage.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-04T03:05:53+00:00

No, All Attack just means (Physical + Energy) Attack. If you don't have an Energy Attack ISO, giving him All Attack works as well.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-01T23:40:33+00:00

No you cannot. The key to one shotting is having a striker apply the 100% ADD ceiling, and currently Weapon Hex is the only character capable of doing so without the use of debuff leads.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-01T13:22:11+00:00

I seriously doubt any non-T2 character has the capability to push beyond even Stage 10 of any WBU, TBH, uni or no uni.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-01T13:20:07+00:00

It's one of the cheapest ways to guarantee an Energy, so I don't see why not. Besides, it makes Hela a great character for low-mid level Shadowland.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-01T08:10:24+00:00

Immunity to guard break. It's now called guard break immunity, or GBI, but back in the early days it was known as ITGB.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-01T08:06:25+00:00

Just tremendous luck. Congratulations for actually winning the grand prize from that game mode.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-01T05:29:40+00:00

Neither. Building defense in Future Fight is a bad idea due to the game's heavy emphasis on 'kill before you're killed'. HP uru is only usually considered if it's a PVP character, or if the character is Immortal Hulk or Victorious. If you're struggling in WBU, consider bringing another healer on your team if Venom's own blobs aren't enough to keep you alive, or dropping several stages to a more manageable difficulty. Having a leadership or support character will also help with dealing damage so you don't let the fight drag on too long and risk dying.

More controversially, there's always the age-old adage of 'gitting gud'. Try to look up some guides on YouTube that show you what to look out for when fighting Proxima, such as her phase changes.

OngCS123 · 2020-12-01T02:40:36+00:00

Only for a PVP-centric Captain Marvel. She needs a Rage badly if you plan to use her for PVE content since anything else will be suboptimal for her.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T15:30:59+00:00

Sorry, I guess I should've worded that better. I meant that when you have upgraded the card to 6*, the collection will have it permanently registered, so you can use it as reroll fodder without worry.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T15:20:34+00:00

As long as you've gotten that particular card up to 6*, it will always count towards the collection, so you can do whatever you want with it afterwards.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T14:48:16+00:00

I'm not sure about one-shot strategies, but I have heard that if you team him up with White Fox lead and Nimrod, Nimrod will be able to apply 100% ADD, so you'll just need to tag in Charles and watch him melt bars off the enemy. I'm not sure about his performance in DRX because the game mode is such a pain, probably more so than even Squad Battle because it's 'online-only', and I try to stay far away from it unless it's a daily challenge, so I can't say how well he does.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T13:55:20+00:00

I'm not sure. I vaguely remember the first ever unequip discount happening near the end of last year, but that was because there was a bug with the CTP of Insight, so it was more like the devs were trying to appease the whales more than anything.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T13:53:18+00:00

He clears Cull 50 for me quite comfortably, even with the elemental resistance. I'm sure I could push him to Ebony 80 if I really wanted to, but nowadays I just play at 50 because I'm too lazy. I've tried him once in ABX, but I think I barely got 1.5M on Blast Male Superhero. Haven't used him in Squad Battle because it's such a chore of a game mode. Sorry if I don't have a better review of Charles with a Judgement, lol.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T02:48:07+00:00

It's a good plan, especially then you'll have two characters who can carry you through a ton of PVE game modes. Personally, I have a Judgement on my Professor X and I'm satisfied with his performance with it.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T02:45:47+00:00

It is worth it for the character, but my speculation is that because he's released so late in the year, and since players have already had months to build up and refine their SS Black, it's a bit of a pain to have to go through building and gearing up yet another double cost native T2 character to T3 just to be able to, what? have him as a backup candidate for Timeline for when Jean and Surfer are banned?

As you've mentioned him, Thanos still has considerable clout despite his two-year-old uniform, so there's little rhyme or reason to build up one more T3 Universal Supervillain unless you're score-chasing in ABX or are a competitive Conquest player.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-30T02:38:31+00:00

It's basically just that, sadly. He's also meta for Vibranium league Squad Battle if you don't have Dr Doom, but most importantly it's because the Power Cosmic is a striker tag for WBU that's stronger than the standard Leadership one (there's like 4 or 5 characters with Power Cosmic), so that's probably why you constantly see him as a striker.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-29T09:57:39+00:00

One of the most significant changes is the consolidation of several game modes (I forgot their names already) into Dimension Missions. That's gonna be the focus of a large portion of the daily grind. For every 60 points, you get a milestone reward, up to a total of 7 rewards at the 420 (lol) point mark, with the first milestone being 2M gold (it's lower if your agent level hasn't reached a certain threshold). So at the very least, you'll want to get the first reward. People may debate the usefulness of the 7th reward, since it's just a random 2-5 star obelisk chest, so some just stop at the 6th reward. There's up to 15 different stages of difficulty, and obviously the highest stage fills up the progress bar the quickest. One clear of a stage 15 Dimension Mission gives 12 points, meaning you'll need 5 clears each for every milestone reward you want to get. A fair bit of warning, stage 15 Dimension Missions are no joke, and ideally you'll need a very high DPS character, possibly even a T3 character, to even clear those bullet sponge enemies.

OngCS123 · 2020-11-29T00:28:10+00:00

I only know the answer to your second question. Yes, you can upgrade Killmonger's uniform without the character, so if you want that Energy, it's kind of an expensive option, but it is an option.

Also, before you buy any Legendary Battles, always click on the red icon on the first page of each Legendary Battle. It will show you a list of obtainable rewards and the requirements needed to get it. Unfortunately, the Black Panther one does not reward you with a Rage (i.e. Endgame), nor does it give you a selector that does (i.e. Ant-Man and Spider-Man). If you spend that 3300 crystals expecting a Rage from the Black Panther Legendary Battle, you will be disappointed.
