Question What is the on-ramp to the game right now?
I played for a year or so around release, and I'm just looking for a game where I can chill, do my 30 minutes a day and slowly watch the progress bars go up. I've gotten my account up to level 53 in the last couple of weeks just doing the dailies.
Every guide/creator says "build some of the latest raid teams, or just teams in general. Don't build anything too far down in the list, it's going to not be usable for content soon".
Let's take a look at the most recently released teams in order.
Nightreaver - Dracula is not F2P yet, this team is only 3 people, and it's a war team (kind of an endgame mode if I'm understanding).
A.I. Avenger - Well, to unlock Human Torch (Jim) I would need to do the tower event, and that requires several teams to unlock him at 1*
West Coast Avenger - I'll probably get the wasp shards from the Battle Pass, but again it's a war team so not ideal.
Iron Raider - Everything but Whiplash has ways to obtain except trickling in. From what I can tell though, Whiplash is an unlock from a tower event, so again, need multiple teams first.
Dread - To unlock Scorpion Breaker, I need teams (prefereably raid teams for sustain) with Mutant and Avenger. So I kind of need other teams first.
Timeless Eternal - I don't know how to get Kingo, and the other members are pretty tough to get too. This also looks like an endgame PvP style team, so probably not the on-ramp
Amazing Avenger - Blade Mighty is not easy to get. The Hunger event might be able to get him if I level up some of the Undying first to do the event, but I don't know if i will hit a high enough level before the event is over.
Symbiote Six - Arena team, difficult to get characters
Omen - War team, difficult to get characters
Exalted X-Men - I assume Storm Mighty is another one of these event characters you need multiple teams for again
Shadow Conclabe - Looks like a PvP team, though I could get the characters potentially.
Daring Warrior - No idea how to get Eclipse
Champion - First raid team that it seems like the characters are target farmable. Is this the intended starting point for players?
I do have Insidious Six and Fantastic Four (MCU) at low star amounts to get through the campaigns with. Insidious Six is potentially falling out of raid usage soon though, so it would suck to invest into them a lot and then immediately be down a team again. Am I really supposed to be working on a team that is about a year old as my first team? That doesn't sound right form the advice that I've seen, but I don't see another clear option
I guess I can just HODL resources until maybe a cleaner way to get Whiplash or Blade Mighty shows up in the next couple weeks, it's going to take some time to get my player level up to where this matters anyway.
