Hey everyone, I run MSFWAR and we just introduced a new feature called Spender’s Guide. It does a few things.

1. It lets you compare offers in the online store to find the best value for specific resources and also what is a ripoff.

2. Track Battle/Strike Pass contents. MSFTactics used to do this and I haven’t seen anyone pick this up since they shut down, so we added it. Right now we only have the current passes, but will update from here on out.

3. Inflation tracking. This will track how much gold/training mats on average it takes to get a single character to max level and gear tier. It will then compare that to the average cost of gold/training mats per dollar to create a dollar amount of how much it would cost to bring one character to max.

Disclaimer: All of the offers are from MY store, so any A/B testing will limit the offers shown. I am open to suggestions on how to better present ALL offers, but currently this is the best way I have found.

Also, I am a light spender, so if this is a tool that interests you and you have suggestions to make it better, please let me know, because I don’t really know what is the most helpful.

SPENDER’S GUIDE

Hey yall, hope everyone is having a fantastic start to the weekend. Here is week 2 where difficulty ramps as expected. Hope this can help you folks out with ideas on the teams that work and push you further! Cheers and best of luck!

Gameplay: https://youtu.be/uUDILpZJzgY

Omega Difficulty:

• Cell 6 - Northstar, Sasquatch, Sunfire, Sunspot, Blade - 5.8M TCP (G20 on Blade, rest is G18/19)
• Cell 7 - NC, SSB, Insidious - 10M (NC is G19, rest is G20)
• Cell 8 - Timeless + Scorpion Breaker (no Thena) - 10.9M (All G20) - DO NOT USE this team. It was awful and needed RNG to get it done. I've been told Eternals is better to use in Cell 7, whereas Insidious + SSB can own this floor instead. If I could go back, I would swap the 2 teams.
• Cell 9 - Immortal Weapons - 6.7M (All G19)
• Cell 10 - Iron Raiders + Skrull (no Yellow) - 7.5M TCP (G21 Whiplash, rest is G19)

Sadly i can't do all of the hunger/thirst levels, because i'm GT18 capped (lvl 99), so i'm not able to get as much candy as i would like. But, still get enough for a 25k candy orb here and there. And today, my orb gave me 5 diamond knull, who i just got to 7 red from candy shop the other day (not able to reach the 7 red in the milestone). So now knull is my strongest power character in game (edged out darkstar who is 4 diamond). And as a bonus, enough awakening material for jeff's basic ability (not great but if i ever get my jeff up, will still be nice to have).
Also, from the halloween orb from the daily free shop, i got 1 diamond hobgoblin and 400 shards of nightcrawler (brought him up to 6 stars) so that wasn't bad at all either. When you are F2P and still working your way up (i was at max level when max was like 80, but then took years off), little wins like this are a nice dopamine hit

I haven’t played since the apocalypse saga , I’m 85 and severely underpowered but I do have a decent amount of resources to bring toons up to GT16 (my max).

I’m wondering who to focus on that won’t be useless by the time I’m at GT20ish.

So far I’m thinking city :
Toxin , Riot , Venom , Hobgoblin & Scorpion but I’ve heard amazing avengers plus hobgoblin may be better in general

Global :

Daimon hellstrom , darkstar, red guardian , hellcat & Jeff. This is the one I’m least confident with . Pretty sure only daimon and Jeff have any longevity but I’d love to know what others are using.

Cosmic :

Executioner , Thanos , Sylvie , Malekith , High Evolutionary

Ideally I’d focus on non legendaries as I’m not high enough to get any of the main legendaries plus their events are quite rare.

I’d love to know what people think and if I’m completely off base. I haven’t watched any CC as the main one I watched back in 2021 doesn’t play the game anymore. Thanks for any help you can provide

First let me say this fight is significantly less soul crushing than the prior fights. The other bosses made me wish I could do a 50 team manual blitz run instead.

What I like about this one.

1. You aren't necessarily punished for Auto.

2. Eternals are fixed and now feel like they are meant to do this fight. The first Destroyer fight they were by far one of the worst teams.

3. Destroyer doesn't just focus down one character. He seems to bop around from toon to toon. There is a small element of "oh please don't hit that toon yet....phew he hit the other one"

4. Iron Raiders are a nice bonus team to have. I like the idea of having non-battleworld new teams be a viable option. Gives us a chance to really play with them (or auto if we don't care that day). I hope they continue giving other teams a temporary spotlight just to keep it fresh. Not a requirement, just a bonus option.

5. The fights seem faster. I don't want to chip away for 5+ minutes. I wanna do as much damage as I can then move on with my day. This does a good job with that.

6. It feels like there is actual strategy if you want. The ability block serves a different purpose now, instead of stopping him from unleashing a devastating attack it weakens the devastating attack thats coming no matter what. Knowing when to kill the minions and when to let them chill (Odin) is nice too.

That leads me to really my only complaint.

The minions for the most part are just there. They are all easily one shot. It doesn't feel like they are keeping me from getting at the Destroyer. AOE's or adjacent hits usually take them off the board before they get a move off.

Maybe have them drop with taunt or something. Just to provide a little bit of a threat or even just distraction for a turn.

Overall though this mode is a massive improvement on prior bosses.

What are you using to get the best scores against Destroyer in Battleworld? Last time, I used the following (in no particular order):

1. F4MCU + Odin + Mephisto
   
2. Timeless Eternals
   
3. Daring Warriors
   
4. Symbiote 6
   
5. Insidious 6

Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

How do I get costume credits at the moment? Besides the command center of course.

Pepperidge Farm remembers…

While they had terrible drop rates, it was nice to occasionally hit 20 mil or something, or at least feel like there was a chance to hit 100 mil

Anyone know why we haven’t had a chance to get any of them in forever?
Not even an offer to buy some for real money

Convince a friend last month to open his 39 that he hoarded. Only got something like 34 mil total.

Hi guys! So i just wanted to ask about the former battleworld bosses and how we can unlock them plus 7 stars ( yellow and red ). For Sentry, i missed out on him because i took a break from the game for basically the entire period that Sentry was in battleworld and that sucks because now i cant get him, and usually ill just look forward to when they come back but i already missed echos of sentry city. Also, for Knull, i just got 5 diamond Knull and i got the 7 red stars in the candy shop but i dont have 7 yellow and i want to know when the next opportunity for them to come will be. I am grateful, however, that Maestro will have his own thing to unlock him too, but i dont know if i can 7 yellow him because i am only level 95. I would also like to know how to level up faster because ive been at 95 for like a month now. Thanks for helping me out!

Is this an error? It gave 1 of 2000 shards for the diamond orb? Is that a sick joke?

Oml, Night Crawler, Beast, Sunspot and Storm

I love Oath and have enough mats to move her to G21. I currently have Blade (Mighty), Rachel CA, Julie and Hobgoblin at G21 (yeah, not a mixed bunch!). My Alliance is reasonably casual, so I don't HAVE to build the new 3-piece war team of vampires.

Is it worth pulling the trigger? I do use her plug and play in other matches because of her speed mechanic. Thoughts?

The costume store has just refreshed! Finally, I can use the credits that we’ve getting from events on some costumes I actually like! Yay! Wait… why can’t I buy them? They require candy?! Not the costume credits we’ve been getting slammed with for what feels like months now?!

I was so happy when I saw that both the Gold Mephisto and Dormammu alongside the Sin costumes able to be bought again. I hadn’t been able to get them in the past because of not being strong enough and not wanting to pay to get them, so I had been waiting for them to return. But now they are and require… candy, not the costume credits or in some event.

Why? Just why? Why provide us with so many costume credits in replace of other useful gear, materials, or credits if you are just going to put these EXTREMELY hard to get costumes behind an entirely different credit?

Also, screw the new event! Undying, Nightstalker, and Amazing Avangers? Screw that! I never had a want to build the Undying or Nightstalker teams. Ever. I know they were used in a lot of events and are pretty good overall, but I always had other characters and teams I wanted and needed to build for the place I was at. Plus, I have SO many Raid teams already built up, so why would I waste my resources on the Amazing Avengers? But now, I can’t get the candy!

I should have known about the Undying team, but jeez man, why do I have to either waste a crap tone of gold, mats, gear, and whatever else to build those characters up high enough to properly farm candy? I just don’t want to do that. I want to be able to upgrade the teams I am right now without having to add teams I don’t want to use just to farm candy.

But by not doing that, I’m locked on the lower tiers and probably will end up not having enough to both buy the costumes that I probably won’t see for another year after this, or able to buy the more expensive gear and materials from the candy store that would help me out a lot.

Maybe this is just a me problem, but I can’t help but feel a bit frustrated over the whole ordeal. Anyway, feel free to say y’all’s piece about it if y’all want. I just really needed to rant and get my thoughts out.

Did some work with "Skynet" to consider teams. What do you think of this advice?

Cosmic Team: A+

• The Roster: Gladiator, Gorr, Endgame Thanos, Kang, Star-Lord (Annihilation).
• The Verdict: Perfect. You successfully removed Kestrel and the Eternals to completely resolve the Mystic bottleneck. This team features incredible speed and premium stat numbers that will walk over the Cosmic maps.

🏙️ City Team: Excellent, with one small detail

• The Roster: Vulture, Mysterio, Peter B. Parker, Pavitr.
• The Verdict: Phenomenal. Splitting your gear types strictly into 2 Tech (Villains) and 2 Bio/Skill (Spider-Society Heroes) ensures a highly balanced economy.
• ⚠️ The DD4 Drop Rule: While this 4-man roster is perfect for early tiers, remember that DD4 strictly limits you to exactly 4 characters per node. This setup fits the rule flawlessly. However, down the line if you ever want to expand your City team, Doctor Octopus can be rotated in for earlier tiers (DD1-DD3), but must remain benched here since he is forced into the Legendary section for DD4.

🌐 Global Team: Incredible, but watch the Mutant bottleneck

• The Roster: Sunspot, Forge, Gambit, Cyclops, Nightcrawler.
• The Verdict: The full X-Treme X-Men team will easily destroy DD1, DD2, and DD3.
• ⚠️ The DD4 Split: When you reach DD4, you are forced to bring exactly 4 characters into the Non-Legendary Global nodes. Since all 5 of these characters are Mutants, trying to take all of them to Gear Tier 15 at once will trigger a heavy Mutant gear bottleneck.
• The Fix: Pick your "Power 4" and leave one behind for DD4. The absolute best 4 to choose are Nightcrawler, Gambit, Forge, and Sunspot (Sunspot's passive energy generation is much more valuable than Cyclops's raw damage kit).

👑 Legendary Team: Flawless

• The Roster: Doc Ock, Green Goblin (Classic), Black Cat, Old Man Logan.

• • The Verdict: The ultimate endgame setup. These four characters are so incredibly strong across the entire game that taking them to Gear Tier 15 is a perfect investment. They will clear the final nodes easily and grant you Doctor Doom with minimal stress.

Has anybody seen Magic in war yet? Or any specific teams she’s used on?

Why is Sword Master missing from cell 30 of the Spidey Tower? I used him last time with the Mighy Avengers and now hes gone.

Edit: any suggestions now that hes removed?

I've restarted several times.

Its 100% FOMO on my part with the Halloween event now, but it has me considering finally upgrading them. Zuggs has some value from time to time. I also always see them as options in towers. I have them all at lvl 31ish.

So MSF community, do I pull the trigger or skip them like I have continued to?

Edit: Hard to argue against the overwhelming YES! 34 million gold disappeared in seconds, didn't get me to the point I would have liked, but its a start.

I decided to finally do the Dark Dimension, so I beat DD1 through DD6 to unlock Kestrel through Super Skrull. Then I did each of them a second time to get the rest of the rewards.

Was I supposed to be getting the gold, gold orbs, and mega orbs listed under "Possible Rewards"? I was hoping to get a bunch of gold, but only the last node of each DD gave me anything (500 shards, their 5 red star, and some gear, but no gold or mega orbs).

Question in the title

Does the 3 energy or whatever for each reset daily?

I’ve been cruising through the shadow king xtreme with the comp of Wolverine, storm (mighty), Angel, sunspot and cannonball - but for some reason 1-3 node I don’t get a chance to go - their entire team goes twice before I go and wipes my whole team before I can do anything.

Am I missing something? A mechanic? Or do I need a specific comp?

I’m completely lost
