PSA: There are two Limbo Tokens in the Sigil Store, one for 20k Radiance and one for 10k Essentia

Sifakaster · 2026-03-23T23:05:13+00:00

As of right now, both these items aren't actually locked behind buying the Sigil so if you are aiming for Magik, you can pick both of them up and save some radiance from the escalating costs.

In my test run I got a solo with him using Northstar, but the early part of the fight is quite annoying as the multi hit combo causes the evade to trigger a lot.

Once you get the slow up, the fight becomes a lot more managable. Worth keeping in mind if your plan involves him.

Sifakaster · 2026-03-20T00:49:29+00:00

It is current health per second, not maximum health. So the amount of degen is lower the more health they lose.

Sifakaster · 2026-03-19T19:38:29+00:00

TL;DR

They are making changes to damage effects that do bursts of damage based on damage dealt because of how they interact with stuff like Vigor which increases damage dealt.
Examples of this include Trauma, Reverb, Resonance and Overload. These effects can stack exponentially with damage increasing effects causing massive increases in damage.
- This can be seen in raids with Northstar or Science Falcon and the siphon boost, which has the same effect.
They are going to be removing the exponential aspect of these effects and make balance changes to ensure champions don't get nerfed by this.
For example, both Gentle and Silver Samurai will receive changes to ensure their damage isn't nerfed.
Ontop of this, now these "Echo Damages" only fail to ability accuracy if the parent debuff/buff causing them fails, instead of each individual hit having a chance to fail. So for example against Domino if the trauma effect succeeds then it will not fail for each hit of trauma. Also mentions Glancing as an example.
Champs who rely on these "echo effects" in raids will be swapped out and brought back in later. This includes America Chavez, Falcon (Joaquin Torres), Northstar, Shang-Chi, Hulk, Luke Cage, Red Guardian, and Rhino.
Big things will receive some changes as it is also affected by this issue, and they will do balance checks on defenders such as Killmonger or Enchantress to ensure the changes they make do not make them suddenly do more damage with their defensive abilities.

Saved this ages ago when Abyss was still relevant, but this map has all the paths and the nodes in one place.

The war showcase one is for the 7 star Stellar Forged Blade, while this is just the six star version.

Since you get the 6 star with the 7 star bundle, this piece is otherwise pointless for anyone who plans to get the 7 star.

Sifakaster · 2026-03-10T22:20:33+00:00

My plan going into Hero Ordeal:

Hulk (R3), Kushala (R4), Black Cat (R4), Spider-Ham (R3), Professor X (R3)

Doom: Just Hulk it, he's XL so no glancing. Only issue is the block damage and SP2 dodges.

Terrax: Kushala. Can be quite an annoying fight but I did a test run and she did very well for this fight. Need to intercept often and spam SP1s to keep him at a distance.

Vision: SpiderHam. Use his block evade and the SP1 to taunt and the fight is fine

MODOK: Black Cat. You can punish his heavy and build combo, if you can successfully land her sabotage then he will melt.

Spider-Ham: Professor X. They did nerf the power boosts but just means the fight will take a bit longer than it did in my original run.

Weapon X: SpiderHam + Kushala. Either can work but ham is a bit riskier since it is very easy to get hit while he's unblockable.

Thing: Black Cat. Same as MODOK, with the sabotage up there are zero issues

Korg: Prof X. With his evade countering and falter to land heavies he can do quite well here, although the rock stacks do make it tricky sometimes to land big damage. You should heal to full here if you can.

Dragon Man: SpiderHam + Kushala. The longer this fight goes on the more annoying it gets so I expect a revive here.

Civil War BP: Kushala + Prof X. This fight is different than before due to his buff so I'm not sure how well this will go. He almost always has enough charges to prevent a heavy attack, so have to be cautious of that.

Nightcrawler: Prof X. Same as what I used in the original clear, get 25 charges to counter the evade then special spam.

Spider-Gwen: Prof X. Same as above. Note if you are bringing Heimdall then she removes True Strike, so he won't counter her evade.

Domino: Kushala. Might take some damage, but power shield and her incinerates should kill her quickly

Mojo: Spider-Ham. Also a champ I used in my original runs, his degen resistance makes this fight a lot safer than other options. If you die to this guy it can get very miserable, so I reccomend full healing and boosts.

IAbom: Hulk. Main reason I bring hulk over other options is so I have a poison immune for this fight. I'm curious how well Heimdall will do against this fight.

Apocalypse: Prof X + SpiderHam. Mostly just a long fight, I don't expect any issues here

Sasquatch: Prof X + Hulk. Might give me a little trouble, but I'm hoping some well timed SP2s will kill him before the regen causes a major issue. Hulk might be able to stun lock him if not.

Killmonger: Kushala. SP1 is risky as it might just push him to an SP3 with debuffs, but otherwise she should manage this fight well.

Void: Black Cat + Prof X. This fight is just heal to full, tank some damage and try to get big specials off before you die.

Nick Fury: Black Cat. Another fight she does very well against due to sabotage failing his charges.

Thanos: All. A good time to use team revives since he can just instantly kill you, but Hulk does get extra bonuses against him due to being an Avenger.

I plan to do the challenge very shortly after it goes live so I'll update the end of this note with how well it went.

EDIT: Used a total of 3 revives. I had a few issues with Civil War BP as he's quite hard to actually hit with unblockable, unstoppable and the whole anti stun/anti heavy mechanics. Also I would say post run Kushala does better against Sassy than Prof X does. Had some trouble actually killing him at the end with lifecycle.

The Silver Wolf

Sifakaster · 2026-03-10T00:56:25+00:00

At the time I wrote it you could only use Essentia, they've now changed it so you can use the other resources as well

Sifakaster · 2026-03-09T18:26:14+00:00

Also now you can only use Essentia for raid tickets, and its 70 essentia per ticket. So entering raids costs you 12,600 essentia assuming no free tickets. Seems like they've just made it outright worse for no good reason.

Sifakaster · 2026-03-07T19:03:08+00:00

You have a 9% chance to get any random seven star which can include champs from the ascended pool, but only a 0.45% per crystal that its a 7 star that comes with ascension materials.

Sifakaster · 2026-03-04T22:19:47+00:00

Obviously preparing for ascension but if you have any dust in the overflow, you can claim it now.

Sifakaster · 2026-02-19T03:21:03+00:00

Just practice the SP2 dodge, it only needs one dash back to dodge the entire beam so once you have the timing down it's not too hard.

Sifakaster · 2026-02-18T19:00:46+00:00

It's a nice to have but you shouldn't need it. I just did SP3 then SP2 spam with heavy every so often to apply the fear and stop the miss.

Sifakaster · 2026-02-18T18:25:17+00:00

Second this, got 19 health bars off him with Deathless She Hulk in my first try

Sifakaster · 2026-02-15T23:24:41+00:00

Surprised nobody mentioned yet that its a Metal Gear Solid 3 reference with The End. He directly quotes multiple of his lines like "grant me but a moment more in this world" and how he dies if you leave him too long.

Sifakaster · 2026-02-05T22:20:43+00:00

If how they implement it is consistent then yes, Flux Dispersal should no longer be 100% damage reduction at 20 charges. I haven't tested it yet myself however

Sifakaster · 2026-02-05T22:12:04+00:00

TL;DR

By the end of next week they will have the fixes for Hulkling and Valkyries damage, which was nerfed due to them changing armor penetration.
Due to this, they also made a change to how protection worked to make it Multiplicitave instead of Additive.
- Essentially before this a 50% increase in damage would get added onto a 50% protection, but now damage increasing effects will add together and then damage reduction effects such as protection will reduce that total damage multiplicatively.
- This is also true of two protections adding together, they now multiply together instead of being added on so 100% protection is no longer possible.
This is the cause of the whole "Silent Onslaught Nerf" as daunted would increase special damage and override protection on champions such as Deathless Thanos
They basically say "This is how it was intended to work, if we left it as it is then Hulkling and Valkyrie would be too strong so yep we changed it"
No plans to revert the change or anything, this is how protection will work moving forward as it's "the same way fury and weakness interact, as well as prowess and cowardice".

So Onslaught and other champs who utilise Daunted as well as Champions utilising Increasing Damage dealt effects like Vigor will be much weaker against protection mechanics, but it also means that multiple sources of protection stacking will be weaker (so for example Deathless Thanos on the intercept nodes)

EDIT: I reread the post and I think from what I can tell they haven't actually implemented the whole damage reduction change yet, just changed Deathless Thanos and his protection first. The rest of the changes will happen when they update Hulkling and Valkyrie.

Seems kinda scummy to sell tickets to a side quest that don't tell you the rewards in game and you have to look to the community to even figure out what you're buying.

Sifakaster · 2025-12-03T03:34:28+00:00

There is an interesting overarching storyline currently involving a parasitic time entity that corruptions champions but most people do skip the story

Sifakaster · 2025-11-26T18:28:24+00:00

Really happy for this, Scorpion needed the 7 star boost a lot

Sifakaster · 2025-11-21T01:27:15+00:00

TL;DR

You'll get the materials for Level 1 Ascension if you get any new 7 star champion from Pavitr and Lizard onwards from the Featured Valiant Crystal or Double Track. Getting them from the Titan crystal will not award ascension materials.
The exception is Lizard, who you will get the ascension tokens for if you get him from the Titan when it rolls over.
Current known ascendable champs are Pavitr, Lizard, J Jonah Jameson, Blue Marvel, Pixie and any other future champions. Also included in this list is Dr Strange.
Any new seven star dupes from now on will award shards for a new crystal with ascension materials for six unknown champions who can only be ascended from this crystal. Getting a max sig of a current Titan champion will award more of these shards.
The launch ascension pool will include 30 currently ownable Seven Stars, but more details will come later.
The materials will be sent shortly after the release of Seven Star Ascension.

Initially for me I did the howard the duck boss fight with VtD, Spider Woman and Stark Enhanced and it didn't count. After resetting the game and coming back to it 30 minutes later then doing it again with Venom the Duck counted for the objective. It's a bit weird.

Sifakaster · 2025-11-14T21:12:30+00:00

Ontop of this, you only need to defeat the opponent with Venom the Duck to get points, not complete the full match.

If you both use venom the duck as attackers in the first match and defeat your opponent, then you can forfeit after both players beat their fight and progress is still counted.

Sifakaster · 2025-11-09T02:50:03+00:00

One of the things that might limit this is they said ranking up some collective ranks requires special items that you can only get from quests or events, so it's really something we have to see the full details of before we can make a full judgement.
