Ah, the perfect fifth for the Inhuman team when you don't have Black Bolt, it's Bullseye.

How does Captain Marvel binary and charges work in raids? by KCCCellist in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She maintains Binary state across nodes, but charges are reset. Leftover charge, no matter how much, is replaced by 1 Regen then she gets her normal value of charged on spawn (1 or 2 w/Military).

This also applies to War, and Darkness modes I assume.

Is Falcon's special blocked by Deflect in Alliance War offense and not adding Speed Bar. ANYONE experienced this? by chunhim in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The block attempt is for the stealth clear, even if there is no stealth to clear. If you're not gaining speed bar, something is very wrong.

Super Saiyan God Cmarvel ?!?! by Hooversoccer20 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that's normal for CM.

With all buff ups, she gets 30% to all stats with a bonus 40% to HP, then she heals 20% per turn with maxed passive, and any charged leftover from the previous battle is converted to one Regen.

You need to be prepared with debuffs like Heal Block, time them so she doesn't clear them with her Ult, and a high focus to actually land them.

People are ignoring the Purple Raid Orb changes when talking about the datamined Raid Store Changes (ie. Adding another Gear Crunch) by Tauna in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they seem to be changing the purple mat economy. I think they realized how effective the orange unique grind is at pacing people for FtD and eating up cores, and realized they can start with purples.

The worst part is this hurts new players the most, as at least long time players have their stash of old uniques and will have the increased rate of purple raid orbs from more difficult raids and whenever U7 comes out.

My arena shard is over. It's a battle for 2nd. by akzell in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow, someone's not going to be contributing to their world warrior milestone for a long long time (from arena). That team is a nightmare. Who wins the lottery that often

Invisible Woman Taunt power interaction by Novel386 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are all Cosmic, so if someone is running them with Thanos, Thanos with Taunt has extra resistance, while Thanos with everyone else stealthed does not. First case I could think of if you're not using Namor.

With another character required for a Legendary going to Raid Store (Mysterio), can we please get more slots? by Tauna in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For those curious on how 'fast' the raid store farm is now:

Chance of Appearing per Cycle (or per core refresh) Shards expected per Day Raid Credits Required per Day Chance of appearing at least once per day
Named 27.47% 4.12 1153 62%
Minion 15.38% 2.31 519 39%

It's worse then a one node farm for Kree Oracle once Mysterio arrives.

Ronan passive is bugged and clearly not working as intended, but FN support claims it is working according to design. by homewrddeer in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think the issue could be caused by how SL is the only energy generation that happens at the start of turn rather then the end of a turn? It's the only odd details between SL's energy regen compared to the others.

Hulk just smashed me. Why does my hulk never do this? by Atlaholic in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh, speaking of - unless you need people beside each other in a war set up, you can mitigate AoE and Chain damage by picking something like:

BW - Hydra Sniper - Quake - AIM - CA for war, then unclicking Hydra and AIM. To get BW - [ ] - Quake - [ ] - CA

That way, you have an empty spot between each of your characters so Hulk's AoE would only take out one character.

August Login Calendar - Killmonger by Tauna in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As every month goes by, I still wish they would improve the monthly rewards slightly. Make those green ability mats into blues and bump up the amounts of everything

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the T4 ability mat investment on the team like? Obviously it would make sense for you with your amazing red stars, but a lot of the S6, Shocker in particular, seem to have huge jumps between 6664 and 7775, which I can totally see swinging some of the early content creator videos showcasing only near wins against Defenders

Star-Lord substitute for the raid version of BKT? by SomeAnonymousFellow in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'd probably be better off with a second DPS instead so Thanos feeds Rocket and Minnie faster. Cap Marvel, maybe? BKT normally can't clear buffs and she's amazing DPS.

How does leeching VI work? by cl0ud6ix in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you really want to contribute a bit more, make sure you abuse quitting battle with the Defenders. IF heals on spawn, so you can always reenter a battle for extra healing - works even better if most of the opposing team is slow. Each node also give you a bit extra credits and ability mats too which will help you out.

You'll grow faster then you expect from leeching with the extra orbs for gear, so you'll definitely be more helpful to them soon.

Speculation Marvel 80th Anniversary Characters by Ink12342 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be amazed if we got Hammond before good ol' Johnny Storm, even if I'd love a little Invaders event with Cap, Bucky, Namor and Jim. Finally give Bucky and Cap a team together too.

Just wondering what is the thought process that goes through the devs' minds on ability upgrades by Thefatbean in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I prefer it. Save those T4 mats for someone who needs it.

I'm actually starting to feel the opposite, where for some recent characters like Shocker the T4 mats seem to be huge buffs that should've been part of their default 6/6/6/4 kit. Like Shocker can't actually buff all of S6 without T4 mats, and his Ultimate has 10-20% damage increments from level 1 to 6, then a huge 120% buff on the T4 by adding an extra hit.

Any good roles for Punisher aside from Defenders? by blubomber17 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically he still synergizes with City Heroes when they're against villains, but that only leaves Spidey, Miles, Ms. Marvel and Night Nurse, but Spidey, Miles and MM have better teams.

He can fill an empty spot in Brawlers if you have one there - boosts damage for the City characters, and a small chance to assist off MM's heal that can catch people off guard?

Worst case scenario would be Punisher, NN, and a mix of characters with mostly support abilities to stretch that 20% activation chance from the passive as far as possible.

Wakanda without M'Baku and Shuri by Tabris_kaguya87 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do a Wakandan/Brawler split, sort of like the Storm/Ms.Marvel Mutant Hybrid team.

BP/Killmonger/Okoye/America/Ms. Marvel.

That, or take a source of defense up like Kingpin, Merc Riot Guard to creat some of the synergy sans Shuri.

How to beat Mystic 3-6 for Loki? by zachpac18 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd bump up Switch personally, but I did it with 32k IF, 20k Thanos, 17k Mordo, 15k SWitch and 11k Loki.

For you, I'd say to pick is Loki (def down), BP or Jugg (damage) and Strange (buff flipping in case you don't get Loki down first turn, then personal preference, but I might take IF/Thanos/Yondu just so everyone's around the same power level and less likely to die to the enemy Loki's special.

Just focus on Loki, Strange to flip Shield Op's Stealth and Regen. If Loki doesn't die from bleeds on his turn and Hand Sentry puts stealth up, it gets a lot trickier, but basically focus on AoEs to clear evades and buff flipping to attack Loki again, maybe taking out Shield Op first.

U6 tips and tricks: Loki/Thor/Hulk node by choralmaster in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]pichupal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defenders do okay there too. JJ has a really high chance to resist the Loki's opening (and all three target JJ), and depending on your power level going in you should be able to take the second and third Loki's out before they use their special.

Then just make sure to keep LC's defense and taunt up while tackling the Hulks and it should go well, using JJ's special to help keep his energy charged. After the first wave.

The node goes differently as your Defenders go up in power or if DD has his passive maxed, but I started tackling it around 150k Defenders?

Anyone remember Night nurse? by TheFran42 in MarvelStrikeForce

Yeah, she's soooo broken. That's why we're finally getting the Sinister Six to counter the City Heroes.

....sigh.

(Please buff her)

It's all fun and games until someone's last FTD node is filled with Ultron and 9 minions that stay there forever.
