(+) Yeah! (+)

You're basically spending credits for boosters but boosters are acquired easily and credits are not. You get boosters every time you play a game but you only get so many credits a day.

Technically theres a daily booster limit too but has literally anyone ever hit it?

The advice is: play a Kazar deck until you hit Series 2

Also credits are a precious resource tied directly to acquiring new cards. So you don't want to waste any at all.

Learn how priority works. It's a game changer.

Oh hey I built one of those as my second deck! It seemed pretty good.

Use Klaw

never do the quick upgrade in the shop

Worst advice that people give. It's fine if you don't play much and have more creds than time

If you ever have more than 1000 creds you can use it imo

It's literally pissing credits down the drain.

I love when I come across what seems like a cool deck that kicked my ass in conquest, so I recreate it to try myself and lose 5 games in a row.

So I finally gave in and downloaded this.

Any tips for a complete newbie who isn't planning to spend money?

You don't need to spend money to have fun and/or reach the highest level on the ladder (infinity).

At first you get new cards at a steady rate, eventually that will slow down, in my experience when you're starting to get series 3 cards.
There are 5 'series', groups of cards. The first 3 you'll get naturally, 4&5 you either need to get them in the shop via tokens or via spotlight caches. Hoard the tokens for now, you'll get those caches later.
I think I started playing mid-July, there are still a bunch of series 3 cards that I don't have.

When do I get him? I just got Odin.

How do I tell what series the cards I'm getting are?

https://marvelsnapzone.com/collection/ has all the cards labeled by collection level and Series/Pool

I think the only cards it tells you what series they are in-game is 4 and 5 so not helpful for you right now

All the cards will be Series 1 until you get them all (see the link in the previous post). Then all the cards will be Series 2 until you collect all of those. Then Series 3 after that.

Series 4 and 5 you have to get in different ways that wont really be relevant for awhile for you

Cool. Thanks guys.

It's been fun so far and I've been managing to win most my fights despite my opponents having cards I don't. I completely lucked into a win in my last game when I messed up but the web location grabbed the perfect people after turn 6 to hand me a 1 point victory.

I am really bad at remembering to snap when I know I will win though.

The game is incredible at the beginning, enjoy it.

Its still incredible tbh

Eh, I mean the gameplay itself is still great, but Second Dinner is super not great. I really don't think the game has a very long life ahead of it if they keep going as they are.

Eh youd be surprised how long a game can go on a popular franchise even with lots of disappointed players. Dokkan going on 9 years entirely on the Dragon Ball brand even though its basically a pulling on banners game with no content anyone enjoys

Second Dinner charges too much for cosmetics and bundles but otherwise this is probably the most F2P friendly mobile game in a while.

The only other critique I have is that they're injecting cards too slowly into the game and personally I think this game is going to run out of design space but that's probably my own lack of imagination.

One per week is too slow? Or do you mean it takes too long for new cards to filter into the wider ecosystem since theyre tougher to get?

Both, but I think releasing cards slowly is their way of getting around that eventually they're going to run out of important Marvel characters (if you don't think they already have) and to prolong not running out of card ideas.

I think eventually they're going to need to double start double dipping on characters like other gacha games. But that's going to be tough with the variants already kinda filling that space.

I mean the success of the game at this point probably isn't tied to how popular the Marvel characters are that are getting put into the game but IDK.

Holy shit, Galactus is dead.

Yeah RIP Galactus, maybe RIP Kitty

5 strength lmao fuck, I just got him too.

Same thing happened to me when I first got him lol.

RIP kitty

Poor Kitty, but understandable I guess. Didnt expect a Squirrel Girl buff and still no sign of Elektra ever mattering lol

Elsa Bloodstone was (/is still) going to make Kitty absurd again, dont worry

The amount of people who stay in and finish games when I have 2/3 pieces of Iron Man, Onslaught, or Tribunal on board on turn 7 is pretty wild.

Even if you've never seen the combo you've got to put 2 and 2 together to understand what's coming right?

Good riddance to both of them. Love how they continue to nerf all the cards around Loki without hitting Loki himself

Well were still on Loki season pass. Hes gonna get his ass wrecked after

squirrel girl OP

Yeah their last paragraph indicates either that or even more cards around him are gonna get hit.

Besides the obvious choice of Ms Marvel, coming soon, who is the most significant character still not in the game? Gwenpool?

(Not counting civilians like Spider-Mans non-powered cast)

Nah, you just play Cosmo on it and laugh as they retreat

Dont remind me of Gwenpool. Feels like its gonna be ages before shes added :(

Gwenpool + Batroc the Leaper season when?

Cosmo doesn't stop the Tribunal combo. In fact sometimes I use Cosmo to protect the lane instead of IW.

Off the top of my head some semi-popular names that aren't included yet:

Baron Zemo
Bullseye
Havok
Purple Man
Beta Ray Bill
Franklin Richards
Dormammu
Hercules

For the Hela version*

I actually don't think I've ever seen someone do it manually now that I think about it lol

Other decently well-known characters off the top of my head

the rest of the Runaways
Viv Vision
Shuma-Gorath (though Im guessing the rights issues that have arisen there mean that name will never return)
Mole Man
a good number of X-Men characters/villains (Blob, Toad, Pyro, etc)
Mephisto (coming soon)

I just lost a game to a guy who played 5 power Galactus on the last turn into an empty lane.

That guy saw the changes and said "time to play some Galactus!"

Yeah I feel like there's still a ton of characters they could use.

This is why it's actually a Galactus buff

Just won a game thanks to the Squirrel Girl buff.

I'm in infinite again and decided to try out a Dazzler deck ahead of Elsa Bloodstone and it's worked surprisingly well.

I hope the paragraph about the Squirrel Girl buff is actually alluding to the Zombie Squirrels being used for Central Park all next season

Speaking of I didnt notice its just Squirrel Girl going to 2 power. Her squirrels still say 1 power

2 power in 3 lanes for 1 would be ridiculous

Possibly, but could also just see an increase in Killmonger again too. Cant protect them all

Kitty being as strong as she was definitely reduced the number of Killmongers out there since it was often impossible to use him on her, maybe her reduction will make other 1-costs show up more often and in turn Killmonger
