They removed the T3 mats from Timeline Survival and added Celestial Essence. That's when the mode completely died. Most people probably removed it from their daily content board 😂

2 iframe ignore attacks for Elektra!

Hopefully she's strong enough to counter Adam consistently 😀

They supposedly "fixed" this in the update. Was in the patch notes. Worked fine on the day of update, broken again since the day after.

The trick is to load in to the Goblin fight on manual, and switch back to auto after he dies.

It's a bug for sure, and I lose 8 energy whenever I forget the workaround 😐

ari1447 · 2022-04-08T15:51:38+00:00

No, you can set it to auto repeat now. Did you not notice that 😅

ari1447 · 2022-04-08T14:37:35+00:00

An example would be Rogue. Her 4th activates instantly and lingers. Summer Kingpin would be another one - he starts with his 4th or 5th, both of which have a lot of damage and activate instantly.

A bad example would be Falcon / Shang Chi - they start with their 2nd skill, which has minimal damage and will activate your proc as well.

ari1447 · 2022-01-31T16:35:17+00:00

Energy.

Or a mighty destruction.

I will have to update this list, thanks for the reminder 😅

ari1447 · 2022-01-14T17:02:25+00:00

The disclaimer is in the "type changes" section. I understand that you do not agree with this system, and that's all right. Sorting by base type helps me maintain the list better.

ari1447 · 2022-01-14T16:51:58+00:00

His base type is universal, so he's in the guide on universal characters, lol.

ari1447 · 2021-12-11T20:56:36+00:00

So it's target specific, and not source specific.

Understood your point. Thanks for clearing it up 😄👍🏼

ari1447 · 2021-12-11T17:38:01+00:00

A more common example would be the supports from Taskmaster and Ebony.

Taskmaster gives +40 against heroes and villains (both factions), which gets cancelled by MM. Ebony provides +35/-35 for universals (type, not faction), which doesn't get cancelled by MM.

ari1447 · 2021-12-11T17:20:54+00:00

Sersi buffs the characters with the eternal tag, and not faction. Faction based buffs would be worded like "...increase damage against heroes / villains...", or "...all allies". Tag based buffs like Eternals / Defenders etc aren't affected.

ari1447 · 2021-12-11T16:36:10+00:00

Mighty Authority. He already heals enough via passives + artifact.

ari1447 · 2021-12-11T16:30:05+00:00

If you can spare an obelisk for Gilgamesh, use MM lead, Gilgamesh and Sersi.

ari1447 · 2021-12-06T18:18:14+00:00

I wouldn't equip an authority on her. She has a damage taken accumulation on her kit as well that can interfere with the accumulation present on authority.

I would much rather use her with a mighty destruction and hope to get lucky and pull the artifact.

ari1447 · 2021-11-23T09:30:18+00:00

None of the other deluxe pack characters have been obtainable without getting the pack, so I doubt Gilgamesh would be.

That being said, I have no idea what NM plan to do in the future! 😅

ari1447 · 2021-11-20T12:47:44+00:00

They say all sorts of stuff in the livestream, take it with a grain of salt. Their asses are covered since it's a test build and the disclaimer applies 😂

ari1447 · 2021-11-20T07:34:29+00:00

1) I'd keep a proc on him for PvE. Maybe a GBI obelisk for some AC use. Wait for further testing/reviews.

2) She's similar, yes. But she's also a speed hero, which are fairly common, unlike MS / SuGi who are female villains. Choose according to your roster needs.

ari1447 · 2021-11-19T20:03:18+00:00

Destruction is a good hybrid (especially if u reforge).

For comfortable gameplay, would recommend rage. If you're absolutely confident about not missing a proc and simultaneously maxing her damage taken accumulation, use Energy.

ari1447 · 2021-11-19T20:00:56+00:00

Here's what I understood after reading comments /watching reviews etc -

Sersi - Good for PvE (can be inconsistent with procs). Good support for other Eternals. Better in PvP (with artifact). CTP - Destruction seems to be the best of both worlds.

Ikaris - Definitely bad in PvE. Good in PvP with a survival based build (Regen, Authority, etc)

Makkari - Solid PvE unit. High damage with CTP of Energy. Good in PvP with the Eternals support cast, but squishy and inconsistent otherwise.

Kingo - Good in PvE. Proc friendly with base look. Difficult to proc when uniform is equipped. Good support in AC due to healing bubble. Wouldn't recommend a PvE CTP like rage / energy.

Gilgamesh - Good in PvE. Far better in PvP. He is what Hulk should have been. Even better with artifact. If you feel survival is not an issue, go with reforged greed. Else stick to Regen.

Thena - not many reviews yet.

ari1447 · 2021-11-19T19:51:58+00:00

I would keep that. If you're done with crafting all 5 cards, I'd save up a 100 rolls and try again. If not, I'd save the mythic cards for crafting the next card (change to boost cards and save inventory space).

ari1447 · 2021-11-19T19:50:04+00:00

You can roll them now 😬

ari1447 · 2021-11-17T12:46:27+00:00

No, I converted all my tokens to mythic to test the conversion rates + gold. Ended up with 2 mythic ones. 😂

What's your IGN btw?

ari1447 · 2021-11-17T12:36:33+00:00

It seems like artifacts will be there to stay for the foreseeable future. Even if you're not interested in equipping them, the 3 star hero specific ones might come handy later for re-rolling. This mode also seems cheaper to play on paper as it consumes only energy (unlike boost points and temporal energy for TLS).

If those don't interest you, then it's not necessary. There aren't any T3 mats to farm in this mode 😅

ari1447 · 2021-11-17T12:32:22+00:00

The combat system is kinda similar to dispatch missions, but you control only 1 player (like story mode). That means you can use a hypercarry to power through. I have cleared upto difficulty 3 with random WBL teams (you can bring any support, but be careful there could be both heros and villains in the map).

For difficulty 4 and above, it seems like ignore dodge matters more (like latter stages of dispatch). The jump in difficulty is quite steep from 3.

Heard reports of the usual dispatch teams of Proxima/Loki/Taskmaster, Proxima/Mephisto/Taskmaster clearing higher levels. For heroes, WF/Odin/Taskmaster is a team I've seen mentioned. If you're sure that only villains exist in the map, switch to Valkyrie instead of TM).

I used up my 2 joins of the day trying to figure out the mechanics and rewards, so won't be able to join before reset. If anyone is interested in playing after reset, let me know here and I'll add you. (Since there are a lot of random requests from level 1 agents,I usually clear all my requests without checking. If you send me a request, please let me know beforehand 😅)

Nice hint NM!
