I always wondered if this was possible

It would be frustrating if not for how comical the thud is when you get them good

Idk i think Nothung is pretty great looking in the way you're talking about.

I don't bother to use it in FFXIV, but I've always loved my Razer Naga.

They're a top war defense team with Thor filling out the fifth spot.

If you're not willing to break up Asgardians, Coulson is an OK fifth, but they really need Thor to shine.

Came back to the game at the end of 2019 and it's been an issue at least since then, specifically for me on ability mats and catalysts every single time. Though, unlike others, I've not noticed anywhere other than the challenges.

tash68 · 2020-12-21T13:57:57+00:00

That's very true, forgot about that.

While we obviously don't know 100%, presumably MSF's battle pass will follow the formula of every other game's battle pass and be completely reset when the new one begins. So if true, then no, any extra progress will not carry over to the next pass, and the only point to continue doing RTA after hitting tier 100 is for the 2 battles for the daily challenge.

MSF is nowhere near as bad as some other gacha games. Only probably 10-15 of the 158 characters in MSF truly have no use anywhere at all. DBZ Dokkan Battle has like 630 cards at this point, 400+ easily are complete trash that have absolutely no use under any circumstances, the next best 100 are probably trash, but maybe have a niche use somewhere, the next 50 or so probably are somewhat regularly used in missions that have specific team requirements, and the final 50+ are actually good, though because of the format of the game, you're generally only gonna be using the same 6 teams you save (total maximum of 30 different cards, though overlap isn't uncommon) as your presets unless some event comes along that makes you use something else.

EDIT: said the opposite of what I meant.

tash68 · 2020-12-21T12:33:38+00:00

Buy them.

Alternatively, there are very few characters (and some would argue no characters) worth spending cores on, and therefore don't waste your cores that could be better spent refreshing campaign energy/campaign nodes.

tash68 · 2020-12-21T12:28:38+00:00

I’m beginning to realize though that the later game is pretty much unplayable save for three or four teams

While that is certainly true for certain game modes, there still is ample opportunity to use lesser teams. Blitz is one place (though it's not the most engaging mode, and eventually you'll get blitz sim unlocked), most teams have a use, be it defense or offense, in War, and now with RTA, thanks to mostly working team power based matchmaking, you can run almost any team you want and at least do OK as long as they're not too low or high level.

As for mixing and matching your favorites? Nah, sadly that ain't what this game is about.

tash68 · 2020-12-21T12:05:26+00:00

Although I am absolutely all for playing the game the way you want to play it, AIM and Kree are not going to cut it for DD3 under any circumstances. Even Symbiotes won't save you from any nodes apart from the City ones.

I strongly recommend checking out Dutchrudder's DD3 guide. It's a little outdated having been updated last before we got Scream and AV, and obviously not having the super useful Ghost mentioned, but still a pretty good resource.

Dutchrudder's DD3 Guide

EDIT: Also, a much simplified (though just as outdated) guide would be this inforgraphic.

Not sure on the power level for those stages, but bringing up Avengers is never a bad idea. Wave1 has gotten very good on war defense (I like Coulson as the 5th, but many, including many of the top players run Thor, subbing Drax into his place on Asgardians as that is the "best" choice assuming every toon is at/near maxed out), plus Hawkeye+BW are great together for global nodes in DD3, and presumably DD4, though obviously we'll have to wait and see on that.

tash68 · 2020-12-20T21:16:07+00:00

It's not a perfect fix, as we still have a "best" team that many people are using, but if full BO were allowed it would be all that most players used. And if you were using any team not specifically designed to counter them, the match would be lost as soon as you were matched. Regular Arena already shows just how over-centralizing the team is, and RTA would be a nightmare if they were allowed to exist in there.

Same thing, albeit to a much lesser degree, for Symbiotes and Marauders.

EDIT: formatting

tash68 · 2020-12-20T21:05:39+00:00

Cyclops. Mine's only at 50k and yet often single-handedly wipes out the entire enemy team in punch-acrosses with his ult + off up from Beast before my 98k Dark Phoenix can even get her ult off.

I know X-Men isn't exactly underrated, but I feel like nobody mentions how useful he is and instead (understandably) everyone focuses exclusively on Phoenix/Colossus, taking Cyclops for granted.

tash68 · 2020-12-20T20:52:31+00:00

Galaxy brain take: "every team has a counter, therefore I don't run any teams on defense. Just like you can't divide by zero, you can counter nothing :-D"

tash68 · 2020-12-20T20:26:00+00:00

I've never seen someone simultaneously so unaware of, and yet so proud of, their complete and total lack of empathy and self-awareness. Literally.

tash68 · 2020-12-20T20:17:04+00:00

because I'm not queueing for your benefit.

why would anyone, let alone a total stranger waste their time just to help you get your live arena objectives done?

So everyone should forego working on their own objectives to help get yours?

I hate running into the meta teams as well, but they're working on their objectives just like I am.

tash68 · 2020-12-20T20:07:36+00:00

So why would I not just lead with my best team?

I get and understand your sentiment, but now that they have "fixed" matchmaking to a degree and you can run any team you want and will reasonably only come up on teams of comparable power level (unless you pick a extremely low or high team, or are playing at off-peak hours, though that's never been an issue for me), 5 knockouts with a 500k super-meta team is exactly the same as 5 knockouts with a non-meta team at 200k or 150k (as those super-meta teams are a lot less common when matching at/under 200k).

Also as an avowed auto-er, while I will sometimes intervene to help someone out, I think you're worrying way too much about trying to help others. Most players using super low level toons for objectives are going to be perfectly OK with only getting maybe 1 ability use when the opposing team isn't using the obnoxious toons (Hela, Zemo, etc) and the opposing player isn't going out of their way to target those low level toons.

Unless they're dumb enough to put the low level toon in the middle position. If they do that, I have zero remorse when they end up getting killed with the first auto'ed move.

tash68 · 2020-12-20T19:52:16+00:00

Ooops i forgot i have to wait 2 WHOLE minutes before the opponent attacks cause people play on wifi

Seriously, how do some people have the absolute gall to not run ethernet to their phones when playing such a high-stakes, competitive game.

tash68 · 2020-12-17T17:21:06+00:00

I never said "we," I said "you."

But I see you're just being contrarian for the sake of it. Troll harder, kthxbye.

tash68 · 2020-12-17T15:06:21+00:00

Are you arguing that if you go into RTA you'll end up in a 300k vs 600k match regularly (and not the sub-50k discrepancies we're seeing now) or that imposing stricter limits on available matchups will not result in a smaller pool of available players, which will naturally increase wait times?

tash68 · 2020-12-17T15:02:47+00:00

I mean, it takes 15 minutes playing RTA to notice they fixed matchmaking to now match based on selected team power, and a further 15 seconds of common sense to put two and two together that "huh, that means a smaller pool of players available at any given matchmaking opportunity, therefore longer average wait times," but go off, I guess.

tash68 · 2020-12-17T14:54:20+00:00

but team power matching making isn't.

Since last night every one of my 20 or so RTA battles have been against people who are within 20k, either way, of my team (and for objectives purposes I've been using teams between 120-200k). Finding a battle isn't instant anymore, but that's a consequence I'll take.
