Current Events > Does anyone play Marvel Strike Force? part 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

it's pretty easy to kill quake on defense since you have maybe two full rotations for her to actually start slowing you which kinda makes sense since the AI prioritizes skill usage over normal attacks.
---

All ai works that way (except raids where they can break all kinds of rules).

From what I've observed, excluding healers, ai will go ultimate>special>basic whenever possible. So cap for instance always starts with his shield toss, then inspire, then basic. He will shield toss even though no one is buffed. Quake does not start with a full ultimate so she starts with her special instead.

Healers will only heal if it will actually restore someone's hp. So they won't heal if heal block is in the way, or if everyone is at full. they will heal even if it's in the single digits though for lost health.

Quake like Yondu usually suicides to my DD Defenders team due to the counters.

lol my alliance tried an Ultimus VI raid and got rekt
---

My alliance tried u6 and we hit like 8% completion lol. We get 60% on u5. We could get 100 but our participation is terrible. Like 14 people per raid.
---

We're still just 60%ing ultimus V. I need so many purple mats. =(
---

Is Ironman worth getting? I am thinking of getting him but that is putting a lot of money (or whatever) into the Shield people that I will never use. I am thinking of making a Defender team.

So I will have my powerful all around them.

Bones,Cap,Quake,Yondu, and BW.

Followed by my Mystic them.

Mordo,Than,Loki,Gamora and Hawkeye(he is sub,until I get Strange)

So I am looking for a 3rd team to be ready to use on Blitz.
I was thinking of watching for the brotherhood.. but there is no way I will be ready for that anytime soon.

you should probably still invest in shield in case you ever consider nick fury since he absolutely wrecks with them.

the only truly useless units i think are the hydra units.
---

If you have Cap and Quake leveled, then you really only need hawkeye leveled as well to complete the iron man event. Everyone says it's easy to beat tier 5 with those 3 carrying.
---

Haven't really played in a few days now, I think I'm burnt out

Oh it is just getting the other people to level 5. That is so much of a waste of energy .

I feel ya. =/ Medic and security are the last ones i need to get to 5*, security is easy with daily arena rewards, but medic is a pain even with two nodes.
---

I have iron Man in my top 5. He deals crazy damage and is moderately fast. He's fun to use.

Not as bad as Cap where one of his nodes is pretty much impossible to 3 star.

They never give me the gear I actually need in the supply rotations

That is how they keep you playing.

Is it worth using Stark upgrades for resistance?

Is it worth using Stark upgrades for resistance?

depends on character "type"

bio type characters benefit most from hp/armor/resistance upgrades than the other types
---

Yeah, Im trying to figure out which stats are best to upgrade for each class. My bio, tech and mystics have damage, health and focus maxed out. Havent touched mutants yet.
---

maybe it's completely selective bias but man have i had way more luck getting shards by farming one by one instead of going through 5 at once.

i also rotate, eg. if i get a shard within my first 1-2 tries, i move on to another node. i just spent 123 energy and over half those tries gave me shards(7/12 maybe).

try it out.

yea they very purposely set the odds on everything a very specific way to maximize you needing to keep trying and tempting you to pay money. what pisses me off is when you pay money and still don't get what you wanted. that is bullshit.

What is better to get first? IF's 4th level on his passive so he can heal city heroes on turn and spawn, which costs 140, or upgrading two of JJ(More resistance whole party)/DD(5% dmg to self)/LC(5% health to self) passive for 70?

IF's passive would be great so that Punisher finally gets healed on spawn for raids, and the occasional 30% chance to be healed on IF's turn. JJ would make debuffs harder to land on the party. DD would make himself hit harder, and LC makes himself live longer. So hard to decide which to go for first.

has anyone spent any real money on the game?

Iron Fist's healing(special and passive) and Cage's defense up & taunt should be focused on first before you start working on the other higher level abilities since the defenders team is kinda squishy IMO

tempted to sometimes but never actually bought anything and the deals that they offer are usually overpriced anyway

Already got IF's special to the point where it can heal a city hero. Cage's taunt and ult are all at the purple cost now. Really gotta go deep for the 2 turn defense up....

According to Youtube you should up Punisher's Basic and Passive to orange too. That's a lot of damage there when he is with DD.

Yeah I just like prioritize healing/defense first when building a dedicated team

I don't even think I can earn orange ability shards yet. I got him the one that allows him to assist on support abilities. The one that costs 70 purple shards, with a defenders team, he has a 50% chance of assisting, which is a lot. Love how he finishes off a lot of weakened enemies after Cage uses his taunt.

Deadpool raid is back though they messed up the rewards again.
---

Just unlocked Deadpool, time to start investing in mutant characters now i guess
---

Got deadpool as well. Can finally do the gold event. I got the 80 shards I needed without the raid.
---

This Deadpool event is a godsend.

You guys think a 93k tech team can stand in defense against an arena shard of 120k old meta teams of cap, yondu, quake, black widow, xbones, gamora type teams?
---

god bless this deadpool event, i finally unlocked him. was not expecting this, it's surprisingly generous. now to build my cable & deadpool based team
---

I completed the Deadpool event when it first came around so I can't get any extra there. Did they run the thanks event again too when his raid was live? I hadn't cleared that first time around so I hope I didn't just miss it again.
---

How does the miss marvel event even work?

Is there a miss marvel event going on?

I remember the last one was just pretty much you had to fight different stages and you would be award with orbs that you could tread in for random shards .
---

The event starts this weekend iirc
---

Wondering about this matter mavrel event tomorrow. They haven't done any repeats of events before like that. I hope they repeat Ant-Man and wasp and Ms marvel and scarlet witch combo events again because I can finally do another tier of each of those. That would get me 2 mega orbs. And an excuse to build up those characters. Other than Ms marvel I find most of them to be mediocre. SW is kind fun at least though.

Does it? On my events it says it ends in a day or so. Or is it glitched and meant to say starts?

I see what you mean now... Just finished a Spicy raid... Got 140 shards..... Is it even worth doing them?

By shards I meant the orb shards, so yeah 140 out of 2k needed isn't really worth it, when the Thanos one gave around 1.4k. Should i be calling them fragments or something else less confusing?

Can't really do any higher, my alliance and myself aren't that strong. We just focus on 100% IV raids for now, getting raid to start V raids in a few days.
---

Ah ok then I guess that's fine

Most of the people in my alliance have over 100000 strongest team power
---

there is a lot of drama in my alliance as this one dweeb who plays like 10hrs a day and tops all the raid leaderboards is threatening to leave if we dont participate more
---

Yeah, I just really started playing a bit over a month ago. Team power is 48k, defenders so I can take around 60k. Though since my villains team sucks, still suck at the ultron mission for that, kinda limiting how fast I can grow....

Nobu blitz meh

This will allow me to unlock Nobu!
