Yellowjacket is the best character there, but he can easily be farmed later. War Machine is the next best. However, I'd unlock Vision and focus on farming Vision, Ultron, and War Machine bios in elite stages.

The one good thing about getting Panther bios is there is only 1 elite stage where you can find them so 60 free is quite the boost. The bad news is, even if you unlock him it will take forever to get him to a useable rank and the rest of your squad will quickly surpass him.

So imo, get Vision then run Ultron (leader), War Machine, and Vision. That will get you through the game as they're 3 top tier characters. Eventually you'll also be able to farm Yellowjacket special missions. I would check to see how far you can clear. War Machine is actually awesome at that since Yellowjacket is a combat character in the mission (rather than a blast character when he's playable) so WM cleans house quickly.

Yeah, I've found YJ and War Machine to be absolute beasts. I only recently got Ultron and am now pursuing Vision/farming mastery mats. So basically, save the free bios for increasing the ranks of Vision/Ultron/WM and continue through the story. Thanks for the feedback!

Thinking of buying that ~2000+ crystals over 30 days pack so I can get costumes going on. I really like zombie Venom and Femme Captain America, but I'll probably wind up getting Ultron/WM's since they'll likely stay in the rotation.

There hasn't been any sort of rotation for costumes up to this point, so I wouldn't count on it.

Stark's Stash is a good value if you plan to keep playing the game every day. It's the only thing that's kind of worth the money, really.

 

[rexor0717]

I haven't done the Stark's Stash for this month because the update was shit. Hopefully the next update isn't a RNG cash grab otherwise I'll be done with the game.

Yeah, I'm on my final Stark's Stash. When it runs out in a week, I'm quitting. That will have given Netmarble plenty of time to fix their BS changes, if they want to, which they don't.

Hope so, especially if the rumors are true that the next update adds Kamala.

 

[Frostinferno]

Bummer to see regulars quitting. Don't blame you guys, this update took all kinds of missteps. Here's hoping for a turnaround sooner rather than later to get people back on board.

We're gonna get some goodies, most notably a free Singularity and 2000 crystals. That's awesome.


I'll probably grab the Hulk and She-Hulk costumes with my free crystals.

Awesome, Singularity is my most desired one, even if people do say she's mediocre.

I've never been patient enough to have more than 1000 crystals so this will be a sweet gift.

 

[Frostinferno]

Singularity is quick and fun to use. They just need to up her damage and she'll be one of their best works yet.

I agree, with what I've seen in the Skills Preview, she looks incredibly fun.

It's kind of odd, she just LOOKS like the kind of character with unlimited power.

 

[-Deadpool-]

Got my lvl 50 Yellowjacket to full 6* mastered yesterday. Only need one more mastery star and my lvl50 Giant Man will be maxed out too.

Still need ~65 Bios for Vision 6*, but that 6* team is getting close now, so close I can taste it.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I know that nerfing a character makes a lot of people unhappy

but Yellowjacket is completely out of control right now, it's kind of insane how strong he is. I wasn't looking for a second and it turned out a 3* YJ beat my 5* Carol, that shouldn't be happening. I even had my 3* YJ beat a higher leveled 4* YJ, this character is so reliant on timing his skills that with a little bit of luck you can avoid almost all damage while outputting a shitload.

 

[rexor0717]

Spent the 1k crystals they gave me to buy the A force package. Now I'm back to having every character. Here's hoping they give us a better way to farm their bios now.

 

[Horseticuffs]

So what's the opinion on Secret Wars Captain America suit versus the Age of Ultron Cap suit?

Secret Wars gives you invulnerability 15% of the time when hit for five seconds with a twenty second cooldown, BUT it improves Shield toss. Ultron suit gives you invulnerability 25% of the time but no Shield Toss improvement.

Which do you guys use? I bought Secret Wars too, but I can't really tell much of an improvement with the Shield Toss. It's a great move I would love to have kicked up a notch, but I'm not sure if it's worth losing that additional 10% chance for invulnerability.

Spiderman will end him in no time. Also, look into Green Goblin. They own YJ

 

[Roto13]

There's a decent chance I'm never going to spend these.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yeah my spidey does pretty well against him since he actually has some lockdown, I should look into Green Goblin since he's apparently pretty good.

There's a decent chance I'm never going to spend these.

I'll definitely spend them but just might quit right after, It's becoming harder and harder to motivate myself to put the time in.

Secret Wars for sure. It also improves his buff skill by adding a jump back and adds an extra aoe attack after his shield slam move.

 

[Horseticuffs]

I don't recall seeing those in the description anywhere. Those seem like pretty big improvements.

 

[Pejo]

I could have used those crystals to strengthen my universal team with Thorgroot and Ronan, but nope, I went for the new & shiny and picked up the A Force pack.

 

[Frostinferno]

The descriptions don't give the full story unfortunately. Take Secret Wars Iron Man 2099 for example. Here are the unlisted differences:

- AoU IM floats at medium speed just like his default armor. SW IM no longer floats but runs as fast as War Machine.

- AoU IM has the same single hit repulsor blast as default armor. SW IM does Armor Clash punch that closes distance before unleashing Repulsor Blast that pushes enemies back again. You can even chain this much faster with Repulsor Ray -> Repulsor Blast. The guaranteed break is however removed from SW costume.

- SW IM has more damage on Missile Barrage. Nope, not as good as War Machine but still better than AoU.

- SW IM has double the attacking speed with double the shots. 2x2 = Awesome. That alone fixes the whole 'IM shoots slow' problem since game launch.

 

[shadowstar]

Wow I needed 2 spidey bios for rank 6 and out of 9 tries I got 1.

 

[curb]

I've found that my rate of acquiring Spidey bios has gone down a lot lately. I used to get them fairly conistently but not now.

 

[Frostinferno]

I went 1 for 9 on YJ bios farming him in unlimited yesterday (on high chance!). I got a double bio right after though.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Wow I needed 2 spidey bios for rank 6 and out of 9 tries I got 1.

I'm constantly being rewarded with bios for all of my characters that are 6 stars

Actually I saw yesterday that Zombie Venom isn't available anymore, so that kind of sucks. On the bright side, I can do buy a costume each for War Machine and Ultron with the free crystals. I'm even tempted to get Captain America's Secret Wars costume just because of how great it looks.

Speaking of costumes, do any of Ultron's options stand out or are they both equally good? I'm leaning toward Mark 3 just because of how baller it looks.

 

[Commodore]

I could have used those crystals to strengthen my universal team with Thorgroot and Ronan, but nope, I went for the new & shiny and picked up the A Force pack.

Resisted urge and went the opposite. Better to level established easily farmable characters than to get three new characters that aren't. ;-) plus we're gettting singularity free this week.

 

[Frostinferno]

The best Ultron costume depends on both the meta and who you're facing. If you're up against of a team of blasters, no real benefit to using Mark 3 for example. Depending on how serious you are about using him, you may want to invest in all and swap as necessary. Otherwise I say pick between Mark 1 and Prime as they counter some of the best characters in the game.

Right - I haven't even thought about PvP as I'm still going through the missions/grinding elites for materials and whatnot, so in that context I suppose it doesn't matter too much.

I haven't used my 3* freebie; any recommendations? I'm considering Black Cat because I saw a screenshot of some dude getting a crazy amount of bios from a normal mission.

Edit: Aw, boo, I can't buy Iron Patriot anymore?? Balls!

 

[StalkerUKCG]

So does Starks Stash give you like 3000 crystals over a month because I'd love for some alt costumes.

 

[Horseticuffs]

The descriptions don't give the full story unfortunately. Take Secret Wars Iron Man 2099 for example. Here are the unlisted differences:

Ah, great to know that! Thanks. Anywhere I can read up on this sort of stuff?

 

[Takuan]

Pretty sure you get 2450.

200 immediately, 75 a day for 30 days.

 

[mreddie]

Had enough crystals and said fuck it, got the A Force pack and with 10 bios of Singularity, now, time to level them up enough while leveling up the mains.

Cross, Jan, Nat

 

[Roto13]

What the hell, I had 3600 crystals and I like Secret Wars 2099. Why not?

"Future Fight" indeed.

 

[Frostinferno]

Ah, great to know that! Thanks. Anywhere I can read up on this sort of stuff?

Not in any official capacity. I'll do my best to make mentions of changes here when new costumes go up, and maybe others will do the same.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

The Black Widow costume is actually so good, her dodge skill actually has her dodge when she activates it so the activation is now good instead of having her sit there taking hits while activating. Also her electric skills now shoot red electricity which looks cool

 

[Frostinferno]

Looks like at least two people have gotten the Carol costume. Took one 40,000 crystals to get it (about $300+ USD).

Holy cats! What a scam.

 

[Roto13]

It's a total scam. The fact that it even exists is a huge black mark on this game.

The red electricity looks fantastic for her rank 6 skill. Too bad I'll never unlock it.

 

[mreddie]

Fuck that.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Honestly the default costume even looks better

What a joke of a scam

BTW I really love the addition of coins in flash sales, and by "I really love" I mean "what the fuck were they thinking".

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Oh that's great, $300+ for an in-game costume that probably doesn't even benefit her much.

 

[Tobor]

This game doesn't run worth shit on my iPhone 6 anymore. Constant crashing, followed by constant spinning load wheels, followed by constant freezing requiring a restart. What happened?

What's even weirder is it runs just fine on my iPad Air. I don't get it.

 

[Frostinferno]

At times it runs perfectly for me, and at other times it's a horrid mess. That spinning orange circle is killer sometimes.

And keeps getting worse.

2 million players, I guess the servers take a good hit now it's getting more and more popular.

 

[Tobor]

Servers don't explain all the issues I'm having. It runs fine on my iPad with worse specs. Anyone else having the same issues with the iPhone 6?

 

[Frostinferno]

All performance issues with this game right now are server related ones. That explains why your iPad is running it better than your stronger phone. It's just you catching the server at a better point.

 

[Fright Zone]

I was busy moving house yesterday and didn't get a chance to log in, now I'm worried I won't get the 7 day log in bonus. I want those 2000 crystals

When a uniform is no longer available for sale is gone for good??

The same thing happened to me. I don't remember if I had logged in or not yesterday, due to being so busy. I think we may be screwed for the final day's reward

 

[Drayco21]

They haven't brought any of them back yet, but I feel like that has more to do with none of the limited time uniforms being old enough to have time for a come-back yet. I'm sure we'll see more of them in the future on some cycle.

It'd be extremely dumb if they did that, it'll surely come back.
