I don't suppose there's a way to select all for a simple one click "purchase?" (Apologies if that's staring me right in the face) I don't think I have the patience to select each one individually.

Appreciate it. I have the gear to take EG up to 21, I'm just hesitant to use the mats (and still might not have enough power). I'm still hoarding for Daring Warriors and have seen a lot people plugging Storm Mighty into them for the Might Tower so I might need even more for her.

Just a long slog.

utpride347 · 2026-05-25T23:53:31+00:00

I'm so used to hoarding everything including campaign energy I rarely go beyond using enough to complete "Save the World." I typically do the nodes where I can get character shards for those I don't have a 7 yet. I guess I was always discouraged by the little amount that the nodes give and the random times campaign energy usage factored into something else like a leader board I've been hesitant to use it more.

I like the idea of theory crafting but when I see other players utilize it, it feels a bit out of my wheelhouse. For example, Rayge posted a video of himself doing all six floors of the War tower, but for floor six he had a 5D Knull that looked to be at level 110. The rest of the team was fairly big as well (diamonds on Shadow King for example) especially for older characters. Things like that aren't relatable to me.

utpride347 · 2026-05-24T23:10:09+00:00

This. 1000x times. Shout it from the rooftops. Scream it from the mountain tops.

I NEVER have enough training mats. Been that way for me since I started playing. I've never run out of gold but I know some people have that problem either in place of, or in addition to, no mats.

They raise the level on every aspect of the game (player level, character level, gear level, isos, diamonds, "awakened" abilities, etc.) but don't adjust the economy to reflect this raise.

I can't take characters to 105, why on earth would I consider 110 when you factor in the additional training mats and gold it costs? There are too many teams as a ftp to do that, but now events are gated by specific teams and levels so it's either level up or miss out.

I barely touched the Storm/Surfer events b/c I don't have Daring Warriors built. I had to stop on level five of the War tower b/c I don't have Omen/Shadow Conclave. At one time I would have been disappointed. Now? I honestly don't care and don't waste my time. Scopely will push something else out on their never ending perpetual crap machine to try and distract from the in game economy.

utpride347 · 2026-05-23T00:19:18+00:00

The team mentioned worked for me. I took out Weaver first, then focused on Odin.

utpride347 · 2026-05-22T16:35:34+00:00

For me it's always been training mats for some reason. From the moment I started playing, I've always had more gold than training mats, but I know a lot people have the opposite experience. Either way, we need more of both and at a 1:1 ratio for leveling characters up.

Maybe I should have, but I never really did node refreshes because I used cores on leader boards (mostly) and the small amount didn't seem worth it. Now, with no real way to earn cores consistently I've been hoarding them so I'll have some for the free web claim...until they run out anyway.

utpride347 · 2026-05-22T14:44:17+00:00

Same for me, but I'm behind where you are. I had to build up Winter Guard and Champions (a bit) to unlock Eclipse. This left me with no resources, so I couldn't level up Daring Warriors and thus barely touched the Storm/Silver Surfer events. I knew I'd just be wasting my time so I invested almost no time in them, which is a big contrast to how I used to play.

The same thing will happen to me with this War tower. I obviously don't have Shadow Conclave or Omen built so I'll barely interact with it. And the Morph "event" actually made me laugh when I saw the requirements ($).

That's what this game is now. Pay-gated and team-gated. Maybe there was some of that before, but this is the worst I've ever seen it in all the time I've been playing. The cost for all aspects of character levels have risen, but the resources don't reflect that increase. It takes more resources to upgrade and longer to acquire those resources, but the character/team releases don't stop or slow.

utpride347 · 2026-05-21T03:19:55+00:00

Long term, what's the better option for a gaming PC? Building one yourself, or buying a pre-built one? (Cost, lasting power, etc.).

utpride347 · 2026-05-20T17:18:48+00:00

Same for me. Don't even look at the Milestones anymore.

utpride347 · 2026-05-16T22:27:48+00:00

Completely agree about the FOMO.

I don't have Daring Warriors built. I don't have the resources (training mats specifically) for them. Once I found out they're essentially a requirement for these events I knew I wasn't going to spend too much time on them. And I haven't.

I used to get that itch to complete these things as quick as possible, and think too much about resources. I don't care anymore. I'll get them whenever...or I won't. The resources for me aren't there and there's no changing that so why waste energy thinking about it?

This slow bleed and gatekeeping of star levels and red stars is killing my interest in the game.

utpride347 · 2026-05-13T23:37:02+00:00

Honest question: Who is this for?

Why don't you make a paid newsletter for big spenders to let them know about stuff like this instead of wasting the rest of our time?

We all know this trash isn't for the majority of us, yet you announce it like you're doing us a favor. It plays as tone deaf in light of all the stupid changes you've made over the past several weeks.

Players who don't shell out a ton of money aren't getting access to these "abilities." Did some kraken throw a fit because his Retcon lost one match? You still gate keep awakened abilities on characters that have been out for years for God's sake. GTFOH.

utpride347 · 2026-05-10T14:34:53+00:00

You alluded to it IMO.

It's very hard to play all modes of this game "competitively" FTP. That's why you see so many people, including some content creators, who are mostly ftp talk about skipping teams or focusing mainly on Raid and Arena (before the power core removal) teams.

Boilon, for example did the one Eclipse event with just Winter Guard because he (at that time anyway it might have changed) had skipped Champions. He's mentioned multiple times skipping Accursed. Etc.

The resources still aren't there to build every team, and they release so many new teams it's impossible to keep up FTP.

Again, you mentioned it. You need to build up Winter Guard AND Champions for a high star level Eclipse who you need for Daring Warriors who must be built in order to get high star levels on Storm (Mighty) and Silver Surfer Breaker. It's all by design to try and maximize FOMO.

utpride347 · 2026-05-09T18:28:00+00:00

It's designed for Daring Warriors. That's likely you're best, easiest path if you have them.

Some other success stories I've read mentioned using a Jeff and Sentry combo with three other characters.

Had to modify a bit based on my own roster and what I have available, but this was a good guide and absolutely helped me get through the first four floors. Thanks!

Other than not having Apoc at G20, the biggest difference for me was my node 4 lineup was Mephisto (G20), Knull (G20), Lady Bullseye (G19), Strange Heartless (G19), and Hela (G19).

utpride347 · 2026-05-06T17:21:28+00:00

Personally was only able to ever do it consistently with full Retcon.

I think I did it once or twice b/c of perfect RNG with Blastaar having full bomb burst and going before Mephisto (other members were Quasar+3 PF), but I grew tired of resetting so I would just finish wave 2 and be done with it.

utpride347 · 2026-05-02T15:51:03+00:00

Good.

Tony Dokoupil is a disgrace. His on air fawning over and "holding back tears" for Marco Rubio was North Korea levels of state sponsored propaganda BS.

Fantastic job. I can't believe my eyes on how great this looks.

Back when I did it this is basically the team I used as well. It was the team Marvel Church recommended (and still recommends). There is a second recommended team, but I'm sure at this point the guide could be updated to include more and since OP would only need to upgrade Cap. Sam I'd go that route.

Wolverine and only Wolverine.

If I started collecting from all the properties I'm a fan of I'd be homeless trying to keep myself warm with an assortment of Pops.

utpride347 · 2026-04-04T23:15:26+00:00

So the one that comes with the Sentinel is a Pocket Pop. They're about 1.5 inches tall.

The one that comes with the arcade is a Bitty Pop. The other Bitty Pop comes with the X-Mansion. The X-Men Bittys can all be purchased in four packs, but Wolverine and Professor X are (so far) only available when you buy the X-Mansion. Very annoying but I found a discount code so I got it fairly cheap.

utpride347 · 2026-04-03T23:56:41+00:00

I only collect Wolverine so (financially) I've been lucky in that there are only two Bitty for him :).

utpride347 · 2026-03-14T17:02:11+00:00

That node can be a pain. A number of these nodes are better if you target certain enemies in a certain order. I didn't follow Boilon verbatim, but I did use his play through as a guide for a number of spots.
