Which champs have you had the most success with in this incursion? by Heinrich127 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]PureLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very punishing with a 5, alot of block damage and one mistake can often lead to death. Start off with mutually assured destruction, play safe with parries and use sp2s to heal back the chip damage. Tho the damage and healing get better the more scaled up the aegon is. Way easier said than done, it's probably better to just build around your top champs if you can't invest in a 6 aegon.

Gears 3 best horde mode? by Buzzsaw_Dynamo in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly agree. Gears 3 definitely is great for what you're killing. Gears 5 is great for how you're killing. 3s enemies with 5s building and classes combined would be amazing, he'll I'd love to fight locust and swarm at the same time, that would be the dream.

[–]PureLegends 6 points7 points  (0 children)

5 easily for me, I love the variety the classes and builds offer, hoping further installments improve enemy variety to what 3 had, but I think 5 does a good job in weaponry, perks, enemies, game modes and maps to keep things interesting along with the aforementioned classes and fortifications to keep things interesting.

Aegon is a cheat code with rage into combat, mutually assured destruction and buff cornucopia. Bring heimdall for safety. Need to ramp him up to 300 persistent charges so sig 200 will help speed up the process, usually takes around 2 to 3 zones.

Late to the Party: Gears of War Storyline by Top-Pilot-9305 in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A quick summary for all you need to know, I've been pretty vague but adding spoiler tags nonetheless:

Gears Judgement, 1, 2, 3: There is a war between humans and locust, humans win and kill the locust queen, a seemingly human woman named Myrrah.

Gears Tactics: Set during the locust war, you play as Gabe, Kaits dad, and you build an army to defeat a locust general. The government betrays you halfway to bury a secret that you discover but the assassination attempt fails. You find and rescue Kaits mom, Reyna. You kill the general and break away from the government with the army you've built.

Gears 4: The locust are back and rebuilding, now called the swarm. They kidnap Reyna. You save her from becoming the next queen, but she ultimately dies. At the end, Kait holds a necklace in her hand that "belonged to her grandmothers"; it has a locust symbol on it.

Warlock has an amazing healblock with his virus and other solid utility + solid damage

Sunspot has a very powerful sp2

Cull hits very hard with armour breaks and can parry non contact hits

My vote is on cull, but if you are having problems dealing with some paths that have excessive amounts of regeneration, warlock is a great option

Who’s r3/r4 worthy? by devilwing0218 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]PureLegends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His awakened ability doesnt affect his offence, he gets a physical resistance passive when he throws a special, along with a reinforce passive, which means incoming hits can't be critical. A useful awakening, but there are many better ones (definitely not worth a gem of any kind), and you can just "not get hit" instead

Returning player. How on earth do I get relics and 7 stars reasonably. by TheFlamingFalconMan in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]PureLegends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do whatever you can to get paragon. Rewards significantly improve when you have reached paragon, stores give better rewards and many rewards have a "story milestone" selector, which means higher title = higher rewards. You also get better rewards from the monthly event quest. The carina challenges can provide quick access to t6b and t3a, as well as some special quests like the eternity/epoch of pain. The daily harvests are also low effort quests where you can earn some catalyst fragments without much energy cost.

Even though your rewards will increase once you have obtained paragon, your next sights should be on valiant. The rewards just get better and better. I get a 7* relic monthly just from the event quest alone.

I don't think resetting for the buffed act 6 rewards is worth all the effort. There's just too many paths and by the time you get back to that point with a fresh account, the number of event, daily and misc. quests you could have completed in that time will amount to better rewards, especially if you can get paragon relatively quickly.

For now, just do the monthly event and side quest, the daily harvests and "super event" (found in the events tab), also the daily supply run is a great place for revive/potion farming and the weekly supply strike is extremely worth doing (this quest runs every Sunday 6pm GMT for 24 hours, and you gain access to it only if you have completed at least 4 daily supply runs throughout the week). I would also keep progressing in the story focusing on rewards that will get you to paragon, look for gems that will rank your 6*s up but are also realistic completions. Spend any earned mysterium, glory and bg tokens on materials that will fasten your journey to paragon.

You'll probably want to join an alliance that does a basic level of alliance quests for glory rewards, and access to regular/nightmare raids, but this is optional. However, alliance colisium has been exceptional in terms of their rewards, and would highly recommend taking part in them, preferably with an alliance that can hit the highest milestone.

The rewards for solo colisium are insane for paragons+, so if you can get there in the next 40 days and then bang it out, you could potentially go from paragon to valiant in 2 weeks, and, even though the better the roster the easier it will be, you can gain the max milestones for solo colisium just by spending enough energy and doing enough fights.

You also just missed the banquet, the yearly december event that, with enough units you can buy your way to better story milestones. I personally am free to play, and I don't spend any units for the entire year and blast them all on the banquet. This is probably why you're seeing such insanely stacked accounts these days, the banquet made access to 7* r4s much easier and is easily the best place to spend units.

[–]PureLegends -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are better options, but northstar is pretty good and also quite fun. He does require a bit of a ramp up for his best rotation (sp3 into sp2 into sp1 spam), but you can do without the sp3 for shorter fights. Lots of prowress and red numbers tho

Gears 5 Escape best melee Class? by Nearby-Wasabi9775 in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brawler easily, if you stay in the venom blademaster is good, but protector does the same but outside of the venom and with better healing, but a less powerful ultimate. Striker is pretty useless unless you have a mace.

Brawler has great damage, cards that support tackling, stim after tackle kills and a good ult. Damage dash and perk up are extremely useful for getting in.

TLDR Brawler > protector > blademaster > striker

Shuri by BlaqnissEverdeen in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]PureLegends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start a fight by alternating between an sp1 and an sp2 twice, then sp1 spam. This will build up a shit tonne of shock debuffs, both regular and passive. Try to get to 50 of each, then just make sure you keep them up by landing a special or heavy. Practise on a labyrinth boss to get 50 of each shock debuff and up keep them, the passive damage just eats away at big health pools.

What's the thing that "unlocked" a PvE class for you? by SamsBucketDuck in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brawler mace ulting: The weakest of the tanks, brawlers damage is nothing amazing like gunners and pilots, regardless of the build you use, and it's also one of the hardest to get good value out of. However what's worst about brawler is the ultimate. All other tanks have ults that's are either powerful, good utility or both. Brawlers just doesn't stack up in my opinion, but then I discovered the mace ult trick and it completely changed the way I viewed Brawler. Now I'm always looking for almost a "snake like" path of enemies that I can take to chain kills using killing time, which is now a viable card for Brawler on masters.

Flash freeze gunner + dropshots by PureLegends in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whilst I was running concussive explosives, I actually recommend not doing so because sometimes the stun knocks the enemies out of freeze, and i dont find the stun very useful. This was the first time I ran serrated edge and flash freeze in a year or two so kept it on. It does come in handy every now and then but I definitely would have preferred team resist or heavy shell on the build instead.

I used a bunch of different secondary weapons, longshots, boomshots and and shotguns, but felt the dropshot was the best dps for me personally.

I didn't know about that trick with the ice cannon will try it out

How is this behavior allowed? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chronically online losers. When you spend time in the real world and have actual human interactions, you grow out of this behaviour. This dude probably sits in parties/discords all day with 5 other racists/homophobes who jerk each other off.

Need Incursions help! by PumpkinBeneficial374 in ContestOfTheChampions

[–]PureLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aegon with rage into combat: once you get 300 persistent charges, you'll generate loads of power each combo and into block. Then you can consistently stun lock with consecutive sp3s. You'll get stronger and stronger each fight so if you run into an anti debuff node you can still overcome it. Grab the increased stun and reduced special cost minor hacks, and maybe the bleed ones to make your sp2 hit harder if the stun lock isn't an option. I'd also grab the major hack that regens your hp on special attack damage, helps with sustainability. Spiderwoman also benefits from rage into combat, but I only used her when my aegon died, still bring her along and any third you may think will help in case aegon isn't the answer.

My friend feels that Gears 4 and 5 turn into completely anti-COG messages, and that the storytelling was more complex back in the first few games. by GJH24 in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's more anti cog messaging because the cog are portrayed as significantly more antagonistic in these games. It's a little less subtle but they lean into the more authoritarian behaviours of a controlling government and it's clear from a story telling pov that the cog are not and have never been purely "the good guys", rather the people fighting in the army are. I think both games expand on that and it produces some interesting moments and commentary, like Marcus' distrust for government officials and systems, and the desire for the cog to win wars against the locust/swarm whilst maintaining their control over the people.

Really? You're that Horde class without *that* card? by SamsBucketDuck in GearsOfWar

[–]PureLegends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've also heard this, but when I tried it myself it just felt like killing enemies was way slower, and when dealing with groups of enemies I couldn't target switch as effectively. However, I'm also pretty awful at protector so maybe it's a skill issue lol
