Question skill characters that are worth it/kinda make sense in a team.

7 Upvotes

i have noticed that i need to build skill characters no matter how much i avoid it. sadly only kestrel is built (red guardian, punisher, silverblade and hit monkey are all level 70). is there any other characters that i might level up that wont be a waste of mats?

Question So…. what to do now?

2 Upvotes

So I’m a returning player from about 2 and a half years ago. At the time I sidelined the game I was grinding for the horsemen. Now I’m getting back into things, is that still something important I should be doing or are there more important and pressing things I should be prioritising my resources on? Feeling a little lost. Should hit level 70 next week which I’m hoping will come with some new direction

Suggestion Healing should be reduced 25% per exhausted.

24 Upvotes

I'm fighting a 2 exhausted Symbiote6 team in CC, using my maxed (110, all t4, all 3-5 diamonds, all purple 4-5) 14m Exalted... and I still can't overtake their healing. I tried to get someone to half health and then focus them with Jubilee special, but even that couldn't kill them. I had to combat cancel, because they were still full health with 30 seconds left... this is stupid and not fun. I just shut the game off at that point, if that was your goal to reduce screen time, you win.

Question Kyln Code Blazes Teams for Cells 11-15

10 Upvotes

Wondering what teams you used in each of the cells 11-15?

The last two weeks, I have been using the ones recommended by Marvel Church - and had no problems clearing.

This week, they suggest using I6 with Sunspot and Nightcrawler in Cell 11 - but I’d rather not dump too much, if anything into Sunspot or Nightcrawler if possible. The last 2 weeks, they suggested using Ultron and Vision along with I6, which worked great. Do you think this comp would work?

Also - for Cell 14, they suggest Timeless Eternals, but replacing Thena with Northstar. Is this necessary - or will full Timeless do the job?

Would love to know who everyone else had success with in all the cells this week, please - so I can hopefully use the teams I previously built.

Discussion Out of Control Milestones

46 Upvotes

I just reached 7B points...yes thats Billion...why the heck are these numbers so skewed? If its because there is a gold input, change it to 1 pt per 1k gold or something, nobody is spending 17 gold.

Even odder than the point spread is the rewards. At 7B gold I got all the Dread reworks at 5D. Then its Zombie 5D....which was a milestone reward like 2 weeks ago....then just random crimson gear, a small amount of G20 orbs, then finally something interesting at 21B points....G21.

I have been playing this event for almost a week now and I have 2/3rds of the way to go before the rewards get interesting again. What the heck?

I won't reach those points, not without serious spending but wow that is such a minimal return on spending for 14B points. I am basically done trying with this event with like 10 days to go. What a waste. Didn't even finish blitzing.

Discussion Is MSF losing its Marvel identity? When nostalgia and iconic leaders get completely sidelined by Power Creep.

5 Upvotes

As a massive Cyclops fan, it’s honestly depressing to see how iconic Marvel legends are treated in Marvel Strike Force right now.

​Leaders like Cyclops, Captain America, and Iron Man are the absolute backbone of Marvel’s lore and the reason millions of us fell in love with this universe in the first place. Yet in MSF, a 3-star Lady Pool outclasses a 5-star Hulk or 4-star Cyclops without breaking a sweat. When literal pillars of the Marvel Universe are completely rendered useless just to push hyper-niche or random releases like Dracula to the top of the meta, the game stops feeling like a Marvel title and starts feeling like a generic gacha skin-suite.

​I get that power creep drives revenue and new team releases are essential for business. But there has to be a balance. When the defining heroes of the franchise are perpetually left in the dust, the game loses its soul. We don't just want power creep; we want the flagship heroes of the Marvel Universe to actually feel heroic and relevant in the current meta.

​Scopely, give our iconic leaders the respect—and the reworks—they deserve.

Discussion I hate hoarding my materials

16 Upvotes

The way that solely structures the milestones has me saving everything I have so that I only spend resources when there’s an event going on.

I have that itch to just upgrade everything and open all my iso orbs but then I’ll screw myself in the future when a milestone drops.

I believe the solution would be that the milestones retroactively get completed if you’ve already completed the milestones prior.

Anyone else frustrated with this?

Discussion Crazy Mighty character idea

25 Upvotes

S.H.I.E.L.D. Medic! He used to almost be the mascot for the game. Make him this cool beefed up healer/buffet. Can also redo Maria Hill and Fury to go along with it.

Not so crazy, but we really need an awesome and scary Red Skull. Would a new version as Breaker help?

Just having some fun as I push buttons in a monotonous way in the game. Any other out of left field picks?

Discussion 5 char dd7 full clear at level 100

5 Upvotes

Just hit lvl 100 this morning, so went ham on the DD7 while it's got no restrictions. Took Sym6 with darkstar to replace venom, all GT19 lvl 100 with whatever gear i could add in at level 100 (most had 2-3 pieces you could equip after getting to GT19). They were (almost) all at orange 1 iso, all abilities max level (probably not necessary, but doesn't hurt). Total power 8.3M. First 3 nodes were hardest, as they had the most health so they just took the longest to clear. After that some nodes were wet toilet paper that darkstar would 2 shot. Main things to be mindful of are don't summon your carnage if a kestrel is out (she prevents it of course), and kill spider-weavers asap so you don't waste time eating through her charges. All together took me ~2 hours, though part of that was AFK because the fights are boring and i needed breaks. But, boring or not, it's still lots of free stuff. Even got a 25M+ gold mega gold orb which was very nice. all together i think i got enough gold from the orbs for bringing meph to lvl 100 gt19 maxed abilities. now to take a break before doing it all over again for the timed run, then see if i can finally get some progress on DD8 (got stuck on the node that needs mephisto)

Discussion Battleworld and Echoes of Dystopia.

17 Upvotes

Maestro was released a few months ago, months of trudging through Battleworld, and now you can 7y/7r, or at least unlock/upgrade him if you missed out prior with the current event. What's the point of doing this or any further BW if we can wait another few months and get a fully starred Destroyer like this?

For me, BW is not fun to do. If I can skip BW from now on and then get the character maxed star later, I'll do that. Dystopia shown that there's no incentive to doing BW.

If someone enjoys BW, great. MOre power to them. It's an unfair and absurd development. How many alliances and players built up and tried hard to do all they can for BW, and then Dystopia came about to where it becomes 'what were all of those months for, then?'

Agree, disagree. Just an opinion and feeling no need to do BW anymore. I'm fine waiting until maybe Spring before Destroyer can be max starred in one event.

I get it. It's nothing new. Knull, Sentry.

Question What level does level-based orbs increase?

1 Upvotes

I noticed when i was in late 90s (i think starting with 96?) i started getting lvl 100 orbs. Has anyone tested to see what level you need to be to go up to the next tier of orbs? i.e. does level 101 give the orb above 100 (not sure if it's 105 or 110), or do you need to reach the actual level for it? I just hit 100, debating if i should keep holding on to the orbs i have (if it goes up a tier at 101, i should hold on because that will be a substantial amount more gold and training mats)

Question Another DD9 post, gotta add a couple toons

2 Upvotes

I have Venom, Riot, Toxin, Nightthrasher, Bullseye. Leveled the Syms because they were good in all games mode. NightThrasher because he was 5 diamond and pvp, and bullseye because he was cheap and I needed it for a milestone. Can not touch the 2nd city node. 100s of tries, killed reed maybe 3 times and he revives. Any good toon or 2, preferably not mystic, that I can add to the 3 stooges?

Question Maestro event - how does the stun team work?

13 Upvotes

I’m using the stun team (hit monkey, thanos, lady death bug, zjugs, prof x). All strikers except prof x. Pro x is raider.

I don’t use hit monkey’s ultimate or special. Just regular I don’t use prof x special. Just his ultimate. I use thanos special to stun.

It starts off ok and the stun stacks to 2. But once maestro gets out of stun and I go to apply the next thanos stun, maestro seems to clear itself off of stun. I can’t seem to get it to stay on.

I’m doing difficulty 10 with no other addition. What am I missing?

Dev Response Figures. Free claims.

Only a matter of time before they pulled back even more on free claims. I guess changing the milestones meant they had to remove from other places because that would cost them too much to do both as they were.

Question How do i compose a solid team?

0 Upvotes

ever since I started playing the game, I’ve just been getting every character that looks cool or the ones that I like and giving them to the highest level I can because I like them. But I’ve been recently discovering that that does not work. When ever I do arena, I just get bodied by people that are lower levels than me or lower power level and I think it’s clear that they just have a better team comp. How can I get a solid team with the characters that I have or who can I unlock to get to a good lineup?
