Current Events > Does anybody play Marvel Strike Force? Part 4

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm looking for an alliance. I'm only level 45 but my friend and I started about two weeks ago.

Looking for an alliance who raids and to eventually move into wars with.

But the search system for alliances sucks.

Hey, did they fix passives activating passives? I think Thanos and Minerva are triggering their "on death" things when Captain Marvel is finishing people off with her passive.

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.

I think this is a mistake I've been making as well.

As have I. Whenever a character was far from the next upgrade, I'd think "ehhh why don't I just finish up someone who is closer?" Because I've this, I spread myself far too thin. I think I stopped when I recognized my Defenders weren't as powerful as they should be so just focused on them and now they're super strong. Next I focused on Kree and now they're good enough to get Nick Fury next time he comes back. Now I'm focusing on Brotherhood.

The thing I still haven't gotten is how so many people seem to have multiple good teams. I only have like 3-4 good teams with the rest being under 30K. I don't know how people end up with like 6 or 7 100K teams. How do they have the resources? I certainly don't seem to have them! I mean, they're probably whales, but I can't help but feel I should be farther along then I am, even as a f2p player. I still don't even have a good Mystic team. I have the characters for one, but I just don't have the resources to spare for them.

Whales or playing longer than you have been. Or lucky as fuck.

i watched multiple f2p beginner and intermediate guides on youtube and read guides on the MSF reddit on the do's and don'ts
---

Juggy is in the arena store and apparently Mantis is coming to the blitz store soon
---

I've been kinda putting a stopper on characters when they hit around g9. Then only give em the gear that don't require ABCs. From there upgrading their better abilities and star levels is usually enough to get them between 15k-20k. Perfectly usable in blitz. Sometimes gold is an obstacle for this tactic. For example, my Loki is sitting at around 19k. 5452 skill levels. I would like to get his ult to level 6, but I'd need to get him to level 60 which would cost a ton of gold
---

Is it worth it to hold off on opening orbs for the Orbs a Plenty event or nah
---

I mean, it's probably not going to be worth it, but I'm trying anyway because I kinda want to hold my red orbs for Phoenix anyway.

I haven't leveled nobus ult at all. It's just so damn bad that I'd rather have him at a deceptively lower power level for blitz. I'm trying to power him up for the campaign and Phoenix event, but I really don't see the point to his ult.

The last one was shit and mostly for people who put money in the game

Basically a high risk low reward type scenario
---

Holy shit i got got 10/10 hand assassin shards today. Never seen that before.
---

my hand assassin luck hasn't been good at all
---

I'm not even bothering. My Hand Assassin is level 1 with no red stars and my priorities are elsewhere.
---

I hate this campaign already.
---

Just finished it and unlocked Psylocke. Is it even worth leveling her up? Im still working on my power armor team.
---

Depend on how bad you want that X-Men team
---

I only care about them if they end up being the new meta. I guess that will depend on Jean Grey.
---

X-Men will be god for arena. It's a business tactic. If the team sucks then no one wants to spend money on them.

Xmen are basically the anti Brotherhood, I don't really see that team often in my arena encounters. For me it's either Defenders, Fury/Shield or Guardians
---

The X men kits look absolutely bonkers. Wakandans were supposed to be the best raid team, but apparently they're not even that good.

From what the top players are saying is Wakandans require a lot orange ability materials to be viable

I see Brotherhood more often in blitzes than arena.
---

i need to develop some sort of focus in this game, i have been playing for nearly a year and i have nothing to show for it, just lots of 2 or 3 star characters with terrible stats
---

i made an earlier post about not seeing the big deal with abcs and had amassed like 600+ just playing normally and having them sit in my inventory.

now i just ran out... um damn

And now you're thinking about just how long it took to amass that 600 that disappeared so quickly.

Then you cry as you're trying to get people to gear 12, requiring 56 ABCs per gear piece. Then cry more as you buy 10 for 240k.

Happens to me like once a month.
---

I got rank 1 in Arena for the first time in 240 days. By the time rewards dished out I was rank 9 though.

Whats your arena offense/defense?

I finished Dark Dimension awhile ago. Once I get my Defenders to T13 I look forward to starting the process to unlocking Ultron.

geez i need to get a defenders team going
---

Defenders aren't even really one of the top teams anymore it's just that they're the most accessible

Great for raiding, that guaranteed first turn heal is so good for saving on heals.
---

this game really needs to give you better gold payouts
---

Is SHIELD still considered the best team then? Or Brotherhood?

And shard chances. I hate getting nothing after a full clear of a node. Make payday, block party, and relic hunt happen more as well.

Power Armor+Vision seems to be the one the best teams nowadays
---

Hoooly shit they changed Phoenix to 6 star unlock. People are rioting.
---

That makes me not care to unlock her anymore, I got too many characters/teams to work on anyway
---

I was actually having fantastic luck with hand ass farming and now after spending all those cores i'm going to have nothing to show for it.
---

Good thing I didn't really try getting hand assassin up. 4 star is enough I guess if 5 isn't going to unlock.
---

These developers are sadists.
---

a lot of meltdowns happening on the msf reddit lol
---

I have a feeling they'll allow a 5 star unlock this time around amidst all the backlash, but subsequent phoenix events will require 6 stars.
---

Man, people are pissed at the Phoneix 6* requirements. I haven't seen this much rage at FoxNext in, like, ever. Makes me feel better about not bothering with farming Hand Assassin lol
---

Don't hold your breath. The people told Foxnet they didn't want Red Stars, we still got them. And when we backlashed about that, we got nothing but a crappy minor upgrade system months later.

As long as the whales keep spending, FoxNext sees no reason to change.
---

And they stealth buffed beta 4 raid by 20% for certain nodes....
---

from reddit:
If you'd all read the comics, it clearly tells the tale of Hand Assassin, Ronan, Mordo, Loki and Nobu fighting together as a team to help Phoenix. It's epic.
