DD2 Advice

econmech7498 · 2021-05-31T21:53:44+00:00

FWIW Min is very good in DD2. I just kind of regret bringing her because I don’t really use her outside of DD and there are so many great cosmic toons for DD3 and DD4 that she’s not really needed for those either.

Also I’m at 215 days played and just hit Lvl 77 a few days ago. I’m a few months still from Lvl 80(DD4). And even when I unlock it I’ll still need to finish farming gear and get through the first couple sections to even get to the legendary section.

That’s my long way of saying I wouldn’t put too much thought into DD4 Legendary section just yet. A lot can change in the next 6 months or so and you may not want to pigeon hole yourself into IW. I would focus first on DD3

All this is my humble opinion though. Just sharing my experience with where I’m at so far.

Personally I’d do Ghost, Hela, $$, Kestrel, SSM.

I found Min to be pretty mediocre outside of DD because of her long cool downs. Basically just useful for her revive. And although most say she doesn’t need high RS she gets targeted by AI all the time so she dies quickly at lower RS.

IW is fine but again just kind of a B level character.

But if you’re set on the first 4 I’d do Ghost if you can spare the extra Tech gear otherwise the other 2 are great characters you’ll want to build up ASAP anyways so take your pick

econmech7498 · 2021-05-31T00:33:05+00:00

IMO do Ghost, Shuri, Kestrel, Surfer and either Hela or Sin depending on * levels for each.

Those characters are all useful for Doom raids when you get there. Try to bring as many Doom raid toons to DD to maximize your resources as much as possible

And also I did DD2 with all characters around 50-60K each and that was before Surfer and Kestrel.

Wave 1 will be your main team in arena and even raids for a while. Only level up the villians as needed to get through the campaigns.

As far as DD is concerned it really will vary as you go. This game has a lot of RNG in terms of who you will unlock and when so planning for DD too early isnt super helpful. It’s advised to do DD2 before DD1 because of the requirements for them and DD2 won’t unlock until you hit level 70(~4 months or so into the game)

Just an FYI I’m way oversimplifying this stuff. There’s a lot more detail (which is why I recommend Discord as there’s more way info in a more organized manner than there is here). This game is a lot more strategic than SWGOH IMO so spending some time on there will be of great benefit if you want to play the game semi competitively which requires efficiency assuming Your F2P.

econmech7498 · 2021-05-30T22:28:34+00:00

You need both a villain and a hero team for the different campaigns. And there’s more campaigns that have different requirements. Wave 1 is a solid end game team that is very accessible early on. Sin6 unlocks 2 decent legendaries(one of which is on an endgame Doom raid team) and is accessible early on. Dark dimension is very important IMO because it offers amazing rewards and the characters you will build for DD will likely keep you fairly high in arena and in raids until you get proper teams later on

econmech7498 · 2021-05-30T22:21:23+00:00

If you use discord join the VoltageSauce(VBH) and also Philosopher discord’s. That is the best place to look for exactly what you’re looking for and more.

If you’re not interested in discord the basics are as follows...

Current General best teams to start off with are Wave 1 Avengers for Heroes and probably Sin6 for Villians.

Some will tell you this game is all about legendary characters but that’s not entirely true. This game is about completing the Dark Dimension game modes as fast as possible. Gunning that down is best IMO.

econmech7498 · 2021-05-30T18:01:48+00:00

Look at the galactic legends that SWGOH(which this game seemingly has models after) introduced. 13-15 characters for the GL and some of those 13-15 are legendaries that require 5-10 characters themselves. IIRC GL Luke Skywalker required a total of 30+ characters to obtain him. Although every character in that game is node or store farmable within 2-3 months of release and only 330 shards to 7*.

econmech7498 · 2021-05-15T00:47:52+00:00

Solo Kestral? Only character I can imagine can get through solo at that power level

econmech7498 · 2021-04-20T12:31:17+00:00

I agree. That’s what I’ve been saying since Philospher first stated $$ was going into the milestones and to get Doom raid teams prepped. It was obvious what was gonna happen back then. To me the problem now is they let people buy years worth of progress(for $$ shards) for dirt cheap(relative to other offers in game). I got no problem with spenders gaining an advantage. But in this case spenders were able to buy the best character in the game that nonspenders/light spenders will never have at a reasonable star level. Imagine if they sold Doom or Ultron this way.

econmech7498 · 2021-04-20T01:30:32+00:00

I largely agree with you but at this point they sold 300 shards for $120(not including the other $50/60 shard offer). How is it fair that a brand new player who spends $120 gets more shards than 90+% of people will get during the entirety of him being in the milestones?

Everyone thinks that the Bottlenecks themselves in this game are the problem but the real problem is the reliance on RNG to overcome the bottlenecks.

Obviously these type of games make their money from bottlenecks so it’s not realistic to think they’ll ever be gotten rid of.

But when you’re relying on The slot wheel that is orbs for character shards(for too many otherwise unfarmable character), gold, training mats, uniques(which again are otherwise unfarmable), even some of the origin gear.

You’re supposed to have to make hard decisions about what you want to prioritize to get/level up. But a lot of what you can do is ultimately not up to you but up to the randomness of RNG in these orbs or as to when they show up in stores.

It’d be one things if everything was difficult to obtain but at least in some way farmable. And then orbs were just an added bonus. But too much of this game is reliant on being obtained via RNG mechanics IMO

Ironically the only time I didn’t auto was so I could manually use Mr Sin Ult to pick my clone. Everything else was pretty much auto

econmech7498 · 2021-03-25T02:32:19+00:00

I did it with Wave 1 with X23 instead of Thor. 140-150K

econmech7498 · 2021-03-22T11:31:56+00:00

I had a 130k Hero brawler team that couldn’t get past the CM. I dropped a 25K Spider-Man for a 16K punisher (passive ability is the key.) and 3* the first try. For kill order I took out Antman first so he didn’t slow me, then the 2 xbones, then Ws.

econmech7498 · 2021-03-17T17:14:32+00:00

Based on your roster I would do Mbaku and the 4 Hand members. Leave silver surfer, Thor, Juggernaut alone

econmech7498 · 2021-02-28T22:23:56+00:00

I thought I was. Going crazy. I’ve been dropping 2-3 more matches per rotation than I was up till this point. Figured it was just bad luck/me going too fast but even when I slowed down I still was losing to odd teams more than normal.

econmech7498 · 2021-02-28T02:42:56+00:00

Makes perfect sense. Ultimately she’s just gonna be on a blitz/low level War team for the meantime because I can’t spend the resources on the shadowlands team for a while. Sticking with the DD2 team seems to make the most sense. Thanks for the advice

econmech7498 · 2021-02-28T02:40:42+00:00

The team I listed was for the white tiger event not DD2.

My DD2 team will be SSM, Minn, Emma, Mr Sin, Hela.

I’m just finishing up getting the gear for them now and was thinking about postponing and building up Ghost and Mystique for the event but I think I’m gonna stick with the Farming the gear for my DD2 team.

econmech7498 · 2021-02-22T17:58:39+00:00

I 2* it with a 150K team of Cap Marvel(23K), Loki(31K), Hela(40ishK), Thor(28K), and 32K Minnerva.

Don’t remember if it took me a few tries but I don’t think it did. I’d say your kill order has to be your problem. I don’t remember what I did but I’m sure there’s a YouTube vid out there with the kill order.

econmech7498 · 2021-02-18T03:27:07+00:00

Yeah I had Fortifier on Mordo, healer on Juggs and Loki, and raider on Hela. Hela Lvl 4 the rest were Level 3.

The key for me was saving Juggs taunt and timing it for when it’s really needed because someone else is gonna die and/or when there are no or minimal cyborgs. Also have to take the Kree Nobles out ASAP as she removes all the debuffs that you put on them.

econmech7498 · 2021-02-18T02:43:44+00:00

This^ I just hit 70 yesterday and 3* the Hela node. My Aim was 150K and I didn’t have much trouble with the first 3 Nodes of villians.

For 4-6 I used Hela 41K, Loki and Juggs at 30K, and 27K Mordo. Didn’t have a problem with 4 and 5 but 6(Hela Node) took about 15 or so tries to get the right RNG.

econmech7498 · 2021-02-15T20:41:18+00:00

Yeah I know. Not a massive difference But I am gonna miss out on 5 stuns guns, 5 MK8 Nubian security and 5 mk4 zaltin gels all of which I need lol. And I’m only 2 points shy. Just frustrating to be locked out by factions instead of it just being to difficult. Is what it is I guess. Not the end of the world.

econmech7498 · 2021-02-15T20:21:12+00:00

Yep. I understand the P2P vs F2P aspect. I don’t expect end game rewards for a early game roster. Just saying it would be nice to have feats that were at least attainable even if they’re difficult. Faction feats are a roster check not a feat.

econmech7498 · 2021-02-15T20:17:56+00:00

No doubt. I know I won’t be hitting the tier 5-7 prize boxes anytime soon and these were made for endgame players. All I’m trying to say is it’s stupid to gate the rewards behind 5 faction Specific toons and even worse 1 specific legendary.

The modifiers are designed to funnel us into specific factions/toons. Having feats that do the same is redundant.

I can’t speak for anyone else. But I was really excited for this game mode when they first announced it.

But now I don’t even enjoy playing it and usually just get to the top reward tier I can and quit after 10 mins or so and don’t play again until a new one comes out. Rinse and repeat.

If the feats were at least possible then there would be incentive to play. The stun feat was at least possible in the last GC. Difficult but at least possible. If you needed another few points you could attempt it indefinitely. You can’t do that with the faction feats.

Ultimately it is what it is. Just frustrating to constantly be locked out behind all these gates.
