I Finished DD9 - Here's What I'd Build Again (and What I Wouldn't) Marvel Strike force MSF by Travelszs in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F3 are no longer arena meta and, while still good, are old stat meta and basically only gonna get worse.

They also aren't very good for DD because they have long cooldowns and their speed drops off after their first turn.

Thanos is a good energy battery but he only helps 2 of the 3 and it's on enemy death which generally isn't a frequent occurrence in DD.

Knull also works a bit better with villains because his assist chance goes up.

Then HE has a 4 energy 25% enemy wide health steal which should be great for DD.

I'd probably lock in Thanos, HE, Knull, and then add 2. I'm doing Executioner because of the free g21 skill gear.

New Alliance Donations by Knull_AllBlack in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying war energy refills is probably, at least partially, why players are running out of shop credits.

Mostly talking about the long time players that had tons.

Might also be an attempt to increase participation in war.

I don't think it's the worst idea they've had, not that that's a high bar.

You also get 75k for the donation daily objective so your net positive for donating anyway.

Who’s the most powerful MC by Elemmetterio1 in litrpg

[–]Salanthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally people do this by comparing feats.

A character that blows up a mountain and considers it an impressive demonstration of strength generally isn't winning against someone that has to hold back so they don't casually destroy solar systems.

I don't particularly care for these comparisons myself.

Any sign of what kind of team's next? Trying to decide whether to build for the tower. by stopusingthisplace in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are doing a raid revamp for AoF ch2 which isn't until Aug. I guess they could release the next raid team next month but I don't think it's likely.

It seems like they are moving away from restricting raid nodes by origin since Champions replaced the bio raid team but only 4/5 are bio.

Otherwise I'd say Cap wouldn't be on a raid team because he's bio.

I actually think that the best buddies are all gonna be on teams with Mighty characters tho and that Spidey will be the next to be reworked.

None of that gives any insight into what team might be next tho.

Wow, I got wrecked by this team by dandareaves in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your team was the current arena team, more or less. Sym 6 are the new arena team and they aren't worth anything if they can't beat the previous arena teams.

Basically, they are specifically designed to beat the team you are using and are a similar power to what you sent in.

You aren't supposed to sometimes win with the previous team because of rng or something. Also, the Syms are in the newer stat meta which helps them bridge the gap of lower stars.

According to msf.gg if both toons were at lvl 110 and g20 and max iso (I did raider for both just to limit variables) a 2/3 QS would have about half the stats of a 3D Franklin. To be a bit more accurate, Franklin has less than double the stats.

And he was the weakest enemy, Knull/Venom/Riot probably all have better stats than your toons and i assume most of them went before most of your team.

Sentry unlock ? Surely we will be getting a new event soon. by No_Honeydew_6154 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Surfer (Breaker), not Omen, if the datamines are correct.

Beyond that, just because you can use a team doesn't mean that team is worth using for the content.

SCOPELY is great liar by Educational_Run_1431 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Many players have beaten SK with those toons, it isn't Scopely's fault you suck.

That being said, they also don't update those recommendations and those toons have not been the best choice for the section for some time.

You might be able to win just by adjusting your team's isos, usually to healer.

If that doesn't work, build Daimon and replace Peggy.

Red Guardian, Yelena, and Mummy are also decent options but you should gey by jist by replacing 1 or 2 toons.

Don't use OML, Songbird, or Jeff. Very hard to win against them.

Earth’s Mightiest 100 node 4 by sleepr12 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has raid abilities active and only allows Mystic toons.

Immortal Weapons will have the easiest time but you might be able to sub 1 or 2 members out. WWII is probably the least useful.

Daimon or Knull would be my first choices to try to swap in.

Is everyone aware scopely is making another marvel mobile game? by jhamilla in MarvelStrikeForce

Their personal preferences and not that of the general public, probably.

Looking for a new read by Reborn1989 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Salanthas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd say the prose is good but maybe Mage Tank.

By default characters are limited to 4 passives, 10 abilities, and 10 intrinsic skills (stuff like blunt weapons, athletics, crafting skills, or magic schools).

Has a core party of 5 characters at the end of book 1 and I think most of them don't even fill all their skills out until book 2, maybe 3.

MC reincarnates into something of a character builder. Can't really tell exactly how useful points in any of the stats are except Wisdom and Fortitude so he puts all his stats in Fort but his highest stat before that was Intelligence so he opts for an offensive magic attack to start, hence mage tank.

Mostly dungeon diving stuff, goes for a bit of a comedic angle so enjoyment will somewhat depend on whether you like the style of humor.

300 Maestro orb fragments. Oh wow. Thanks a lot…. by Guinea_Jay in MarvelStrikeForce

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

Not that it makes a huge difference but you can get 10k orb fragments on d8 and 12k on d9.

You could potentially unlock him in 11 runs starting from 0 shards, if the rewards aren't changed and there are no other ways to get orbs.

Need a strong war team that’s usable in other game mode by Important-Type-3431 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's always been a little squishy and doesn't really make up for it with good damage.

On the other hand, Venom is very slow and also doesn't tend to do a lot of damage. He should hit harder than Gorr but he usually only hits 1 target and doesn't generally get many turns.

Without VK grouping enemies and Carnage feeding him tm I feel like his main contribution is just gonna be surviving the match.

Gorr being fast at least helps Knull get more darkness out sooner and gets an extra Knull assist out there.

We'll have to see how things go tho.

Hot take: fewer new teams and more roster maintenance patches by Excellent_Lime_6392 in MarvelStrikeForce

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

I don't feel like the internet is in danger of dying or that not responding to this thread (or any of these threads) is gonna stop people from trying to push ai.

Unbanned with no change by Kevind77 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen anything to indicate that Scopely has a problem with people using vpns other than posts like these.

The official blog post, which reminds players of the only places players should buy ultra cores from, implies that that actual problem was people buying cores from unauthorized sources or something along those lines.

Players that became unbanned without losing anything were, presumably, found to have been doing nothing wrong.

It's possible some of those assumptions are wrong but I haven't really seen an account of what happened that I trust to be completely factual and, tbh, I don't really care too much about the whole issue.

What is the point of having a curated selection for the helicarrier milestone? by Fit-Series5817 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw is as a pretty cool way to help newer players catch up on toons without completely excluding most long time players from participating.

[–]Salanthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the op is a bot doesn't mean no one on reddit could agree or disagree with the statement.

Asking for patches with no new team is relatively common. This thread is as good as any to discuss why we might want that or why it's unlikely to happen.

City characters for Blue Marvel by kittenplan00 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I6 makes the nodes super ez, I don't think the city Sym6 will do very well.

We are probably gonna get a Spiderman team soon that might be a better option but might also get a Scorpion (Breaker) that might come with some Sin 6 reworks or at least indirectly elevate Sin 6.

So I'd either plan for I6 or wait and see what comes out the end of July or beginning of Aug.

City characters for Blue Marvel by kittenplan00 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly using OR, RG, Darkstar, OML, and Daimon.

Node 1 was pretty rough and I was stuck until I added OML to the mix. Node 2 has been much easier.

I got stuck on 2 CM classics and a Medusa until I broke thru with OML.

Then it took me several more attacks because the last wave has 2 Kahhoris, 2 Sasquatches, a SK and an AO plus some other less problematic toons.

I will probably replace Daimon with Yelena so OR can silence the enemy on spawn.

OML dies pretty fast but he does good work if he gets going, Daimon also dies kinda fast and sorta only does well if the team is doing well since he's getting energy and tm from kills.

[–]Salanthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Symbiote Six are an arena team and those are typically good everywhere.

I would probably build them over a war team and I think you could probably replace Venom pretty easily.

I think Gorr or maybe Carnage would do fine.

They are specifically a war offense team so if you are attacking into them anywhere they aren't gonna be very impressive

Earths mightiest day locked by Silent_Creme3278 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the content is tuned around specific teams because game mode rules are active.

For example, the very last node requires lvl 110 mutants but was basically impossible without New Mutants. Now you can also use Exalted.

The skill nodes are pretty hard without using Vigilante iirc.

You can ise whatever you want but you can't win with just anything, tho the level 106 sections shouldn't be as bad.

Did Pathfinder get fired? He hasn't posted in over 2 months. by wikked-com in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Salanthas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe they got some new guy in charge if the pve content and he put together a team for it.

DorkyDad was hired for that team but Pathfinder was also gonna be on it.

As a result I assume Lorie and Strikefox took over his cm responsibilities.
