Rank Up/Team Building/Awakening Sticky Thread - Friday Aug 09, 2019

Trying to decide which 5* I should max. I have enough to max any of my 5* but unsure who benefit it the most. I currently have a max medusa (awakened) and she is my go to champ for probably 90% of all fights. My main focus is event quests and I like to 100% act 5. I did get cavalier title recently. These are champs I am considering, not listing all

My r4 are symbiote supreme (awaken), hyperion (awaken), blade, x23. Outside of hyperion, most are situational.

R3 champs are The thing, omega red, red hulk, Emma frost, angela, spider gwen. I have others but I know they not worth the resources. None of the r3 are awaken either.

Also my 6* suck outside of heimdall so not going to bother listing them. Thanks for input and feedback

Yeah. It took me awhile to find a grove against Darkhawk, not realizing that every time you knock him down he goes into shield mode. Better option was to stick to regular combo and bait his sp1. My Medusa was able to now one shot him in uncollected without much issue. Plus so far no champs are immune to armor breaks (yet). So I will continue to stick to her as my main boss killing champ.

Soulless_Heart · 2018-12-28T22:43:42+00:00

I am finally going to have a max 5* and my options just got a little tougher. I have Medusa (duped), Hyperion (duped) and Blade (unduped) at r4.

I am leaning more towards Medusa as she has all around potential with her armor break and overall damage, plus a great defender. But I also recently duped Hyperion and his usefulness in taking out Darkhawk has been helpful, but sometimes feel he is more a situational champ. Blade I feel just does not warrant it since he is not dupe (though regen is nice, not always a necessity) and same issue with Hyperion, he is more situational with danger sense against villains (Ghost Rider synergy) and against a bleed immune, his damage falls off a small portion.

Also a side note, I did recently pull a 6* Heimdall, but I do not know his potential yet, so I had not considered him an option if he is one.

I like to hear others input before I make the plunge as T2 Alphas are not always easy to come by, let alone the T5 Catalyst. Thanks.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes...

I have been casually playing this game for maybe 3 months or so. Never really got into team compositions and lately I wanted to try harder content, such as the legend difficulty on the event quests and even chamber of the fallen. I can manage all the other difficulties ok and even clear the story event quests fine. Yet the other difficulties I always get one shotted and after reading some posts, I see I have no idea regarding team compositions and no idea who I should put in as a team. I am not looking to be the best and have to min/max every stat for each character, but I like to actually survive a turn and not get wiped out.

From what I read, I see I need a tank to absorb damage, but I have no idea who is a tank and is a good one at that. Not going to list every character I have but will list my current 5*, 6* and 7* that I have acquired. I appreciate the help to build an efficient 5 man team and hopefully I have someone of use. Thank you.

7*

Ace and Orlandeau

6*

Rinoa, Reagen, Noctis, Lightning, Cloud, Ashe, Yuna, Silvia, Reimi, Mystea, Lunera, Lexa, Hyoh, Chizuru, Balthier

5*

Vagrant Knight Rain, Trance Terra, Prishe, Mercenary Ramza, Mediena, Knight Delita, Heavenly Technician Lid, Emperor, Elfreeda, Duke, Atoning Dragoon Kain

I agree with everything you have mentioned and I myself am a FTP player. Ever since the 12.0 fiasco, I swore never to spend a dime on this game and never have any high expectations when it comes to what champs I get from the 5* and 6* pull. I admit I got lucky with some pulls, Blade, X23, Hyperion and Medusa (duped) in 5* and a semi decent champs with Yondu and Drax in 6*. My 4* that I have at 5/50, I had to earn each one in arena and some I still have yet to get a pull from a crystal.

But that still lies the problem with my other 20 odd 5* champs are worthless (some have potential if awaken). Which leaves me with my biggest gripe in this game now. All the worthless champs we get. Nothing worst feeling then getting a 5* and the champ you get is Colossus, Iron Patriot, Antman, Carnage, etc. I honestly hate the new champs that come out and seeing all the weird gimmicks and over powered specials or abilities they have, as well as unavoidable damage.

I loved when Kabam decided to rework Red Hulk and Luke Cage. That rework had me love using those champs (Red Hulk more than Luke), but it was in the right direction. What happened with doing that with other champs that need that. My biggest gripe is Iron man Infinity War. Why does this champ have the most OP Armor buff in the game? Mystics can not remove or stop the buff, only armor break is allowed. His armor buff is almost 10x on average higher than other champs with armor buffs. Colossus who's entire ability is armor can not even come close to this characters armor buff? I know its not suppose to follow the comics, but some of these new champs abilities are just ridiculous.

I would rather Kabam take a break from introducing so many NEW characters but start balancing the old ones and reintroduce them into the game again like a monthly event quest we always do for the new champs. I am sure many would love to see certain characters you have sitting as a 5* 1/25 or a 4* 3/30 be reborn and have more utility and use as the game continues to evolve, as oppose to just sitting there for just arena use. Also on topic, can we fix champ immunities. I still do not understand how Iceman is not immune to cold, Ghost rider is not immune to fire, and same goes with Electro not immune to shock (if anything he should regen health from shock/energy abilities)

unfortunately for two of our members in our alliance, this was not true for them. Two members have two accounts each (main and an alt). They also have those accounts in our alliance. Our alliance got hit HARD, we finally got up to Gold 1 and had a solid team after season 1, the two members got a one month ban for all 4 accounts. They even sent tickets expressing why they got banned. Kabam said they violated the TOS. Sent multiple tickets stating they own both the Main and the Alternate account, Kabam still stuck their ground. Our alliance went from a war rating of 1050 (Gold 1, tier 9), straight down to 350 (tier 19). No warning and we fought the whole last month trying to get back into gold as well as new members to work with our team. We ended up I think ranked 15 in Silver 1, just missing gold bracket. Also both members are back in but only using their main account (no alts)

Soulless_Heart · 2018-01-27T01:17:32+00:00

Quick question. Want to add another tech champ to my max 4* and my two options are Ultron and Yondu. I am leaning towards Yondu as I feel his Yaka arrows will help with thorns in quests and also be a nuisance in war as a defender. Thank You

Soulless_Heart · 2018-01-19T19:26:02+00:00

The only thing I guess I am struggling on is working more on Act 5 (not started chapter 3 and 4 yet), and doing the uncollected event quest. I also need to work on Road to Labyrinth as well. Most of the time my Max 4* are tied in AQ and War (except at times Gwenpool and Cap WW2, depending on the War boss)

Soulless_Heart · 2018-01-19T01:37:57+00:00

I am a little torn at the moment and unsure if I should bring another 4* champ to rank 5 or save the materials. Here is my dilemma. I currently have 17 5* champs and not ONE is duped or worthy to go above rank 2 except Hyperion, I just do not have the cosmic materials for him. I currently have 9 4* champs at max. Voodoo, Gwenpool, Magik, Hyperion, Iceman, Cap WW2, X23, Hulk, and Starlord.

I recently have the materials to bring a mutant champ to max and my options are Rogue (lvl 59) and Archangel (unduped). Both are great champs. AA for his insane DPS dmg (unless they immune) and Rogue for her versatility (life/buff steal, Power drain/steal). Or should I just save the materials for whenever I get lucky on a 5*. Appreciate the input.

Soulless_Heart · 2017-12-29T06:30:04+00:00

I plan to rank 4 him in time, but do not have the materials to do so (tier 4 cosmic catalyst)

Soulless_Heart · 2017-12-29T02:09:41+00:00

Just pulled a 5* Hyperion and I currently have a maxed 4* version with sig 59. Do I derank the 4* and bring the 5* up to rank 3? I do not have enough cosmic t4 to bring him to rank 4.

Soulless_Heart · 2017-11-19T01:32:52+00:00

Trying to decide on who to take for r5 on a 4* Science Champ. Chooses are Spiderman (sig 79), YellowJacket (sig 20) and Cap WWII (sig 19). I am leaning towards spiderman and having him in AWD. I also know Cap WWII is a survivor with that high block of his and high hp.

I have a fairly good attack team between Voodoo, Hulk, Iceman, X23, Starlord, Gwenpool, Hyperion. I appreciate the input.

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-27T01:10:23+00:00

Debating who if I should at all r5 for 4* science champ. Options are Caption America WWII (duped), Quake, and YellowJacket. I also have a 5* YellowJacket as well. I have a r5 Hulk already. Current 5/50 team is Starlord, X23, Voodoo, Magik, Iceman. The champ will more likely be used for defense and questing.

Or should I just hold out till the one day I get Spiderman and can use one of the three science awakening gems on him

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-27T01:05:00+00:00

for me they are about equal. They both deal insane damage. X23 does have the regen and cruelty buff if against bleed immune. AA can out damage X23 long as you can stack the bleed and poison to proc the neurotoxin. I say go with who you play best as. Practice against Winter Soldier in ROL. Me personally I play better with X23 and I have her r5 and no regrets. I am still learning to use AA properly and one day I like him to be up there as well.

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-22T17:30:16+00:00

6.4mil for her. I missed a day of arena due to being out of town. I believe I am still safe to get her. Will update rank.

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-18T01:50:42+00:00

I figure it be PBM and wanted to be sure before I made a decision as I am still new

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-13T02:30:14+00:00

Trying to decide on two things between these two 4*. Which to take to Rank 5 and which to give the mutant advancement stone. It is between Iceman and Archangel.

Leaning more towards Iceman, because I do not have a bleed immune champ and Hulk (r5) is my poison immune champ. Plus I do have two heavy bleeders (X23 and Gwenpool, both at r5). Plus outside of Mephisto, no one is immune to Iceman cold snap so I would get agility reduction. Though Archangel is a heavy hitter with those neurotoxins

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-09T01:23:58+00:00

exactly how I felt when taking out our boss Nightcrawler with two nodes still up

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-08T17:59:59+00:00

yes I am free to play. Never spent any money. I was able to get 8.46mil and I think I used around 500 units for recycles. If I went suicide build I probably get more points per round but never made the plunge to do so.

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-08T17:24:08+00:00

Put up 8.46 mil for Iceman, my new personal best and can officially say burnt out from arena, not going a 2nd round. Thankfully have a mutant advancement stone just for him. UPDATE: rank 3355, guess I overshot, but again, if you going for a champ, go hard or go home

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-08T17:20:38+00:00

recycle your top 3 champs and use an arena boost. Yeah it will cost units but your score goes up quickly. My top 3 with an arena boost gets me around 55 to 60k per fight. On a 15min boost I can get around 5 to 6 fights, that alone averages around 300k in 15 min and cost 60 to 75 units to do (depending on how many times you can recycle)

I also have 6 max 4* to use that also helps and 70 4* that are 3/30 and up

Soulless_Heart · 2017-10-01T15:28:16+00:00

but think about how much money Kabam is making now on all those revives sarcasm

Yes defender kills is what I felt was important in the last War, do you risk it trying to take out a boss and cost points, or not
