So Psylocke's a Legendary? I've been neglecting my Hand minions, but at least my DD is 7*, with IF, Elektra, and Mordo at 5*. So I just need to prepare one Hand minion. Probably Hand Sorc.

America Chavez is also coming soon. Interesting, I was wondering when they would start introducing characters that weren't tied to the MCU or other movies and shows (other than Ms. Marvel who I'm pretty sure has a Wolverine-style "must appear everywhere" mandate from Marvel).

Odd it's America Chavez tho. I was under the impression that she wasn't well-liked.

Psylocke isn't a legendary. She's just having an event campaign that requires martial artists.

Apparently Phoenix is gonna have some ability where when she dies, she summons Dark Phoenix. Seems exciting. I'm guessing either Power Armor/Military/Wave 1 Avengers/Wakandans for her.

I considered using Mantis so i could split up my guardians and kree raid teams. I was itching to use my 4 red star captain marvel. But i just leveled Groot instead and i'm wrecking most of the nodes, so making a secondary raid team seems unnecessary.

Gonna need multiple raid teams for alpha and beta raids, at higher difficulties you can't just use any team, which is rather annoying. Got my Defenders for City nodes, Shield for Global, Kree for Villain and technically Cosmic, but Guardians got Cosmic covered, working on a Mystic team now.

is there a point to going over 100% in blitzes? does going beyond it improve your rewards? I've been going beyond it most of the time but I'm not sure if it actually moves you up in the rankings or not

It does, you can google what the predicted blitz ranking should be and the prizes are better if you get higher of course. The good ones require you to have tons of powerful teams going at it every 2 hours....

iirc for the rescue blitz, you needed around 7 million to get past top 10%. I ended with top 1-10% with 2.2 million.

Next Legendary is Dark Phoenix. She's gonna have some kind of transformation ability that activates upon death.

Apparently the requirement is gonna be a combination of tags with a hint being "Villain"

Villain Brawlers?
Villain Controllers?

At least none of the new characters coming out this month are villains which means they won't be needed to unlock her.

Unless the Villain hint means you're gonna need like a villain, then it's corresponding hero kinda like the duality of Phoenix/Jean Grey.

There aren't even that many Villain characters to use so that's a weird requirement. I thought Phoenix was supposed to need Martial Artists?

Man, i know i keep talking about Dark Phoenix, but i really want to get at least 1 Legendary character on the first go around.

I'm like thinking, what combination of villain traits has like 5 or 6 characters with at least one being unfarmable. As that's the route they usually go.

I feel like they could make a decent chunk of change if they make the legendary a bit easier to unlock, but make one of the crucial team members a 100 shard unlock, with the standard two blitz run, so that more dolphins, rather than few whales will spend to buy the offer to unlock the character.

This. DD's speed boost is amazing, but JJ's 100% energy from her basic attacks is just as amazing. Was so hard to decide for me, but I think JJ's made a more noticeable difference.

Hrmm, Nobu is good, Loki is good, Ronan is great, Mordo is good, Hand Assassin... No where near ready, but has 5 red star, guess it wasn't that bad of luck to get that.

IMO no. You will almost always get 5 shards, odds of getting anything better are so slim, the average really doesn't matter since you wont be getting there, unless you spend a ton of cores. Might as well wait for them to show up in the supply shop for 450 cores.

That's what I thought.

I feel like I'm not grinding as smart as I should. Every day I do the daily objectives and spend my energy including the 50 power core refills(no to the 100 core refill) on missions to either earn equipment or on character shards. Then I might do a few blitz battles and that's it. I'm lvl 69 so I understand I'm at a point where the grind is suppose to be unruly but still.

Also I don't focus on teams with good synergies. My strongest team consists of Minn-Erva, Deadpool, Yondu, Crossbones, and Ronan.

I guess I'm trying to ask for good strategies for gaining shards/stars and anything else I need to advance.

The game is just a huge slow grind. I have been using all my daily recharges to farm for IF, Punisher, and JJ so they can reach 7 star, roughly 150 shards away for each of them. Probably gonna take another month. Whats leftover energywise is used to raise my Kree team to 6 star to get Fury. Once that is done, get my shield team to 6 star, and so forth and so on. Slowly getting stuff done.

It's definitely a loooong grind. I remember when I was foolishly using energy trying to get IMPROVED basic catalysts. Now I'm sitting on hundreds of them. Also I was trying to be careful with how I spend blue ability materials. Eventually you play long enough where you have enough materials to get any character past the "blue" stages and the purples are what you grind for.

One mistake I made is not committing to some characters shards nodes that were "far" from the next star upgrade. Sometimes you just gotta stick with it.

Then you run into the problem of running out of specific blue mats and it gets annoying. I never have enough of random blues and then I have over 300 of others... Bah.
