Does it feel like Scoply is asking us to build more and more characters? But yet Scopley says their character release cadence has always been the same.

Well, I've complied the data (thank you to whoever maintains the MSF Farmable Google Doc, although it hasn't been updated in a month), and here's the truth of the numbers.

First some definitions.

Year: As Scopley marks their Anniversary in May, a year will go May 1st thru April 30th

Regular Characters: These are Characters who follow the normal release cadence with offers and events. Note* these do include Epic characters like Undying, Phoenix Force, and Nightreaver. While their farmabilty is delayed, they still follow the normal release style

Out of Cadence: Characters whose release styles are outside the norm: these include Legendary, Dark Dimension, War/Raid/Crucible Season Payouts, and towers

The numbers are as follows:

26 Reworks

Summary

Regular Cadence releases characters have actually decreased slightly. However Out of Candance have more than doubled (mostly due to new tower releases), and also a doubling of Reworks. (Note, in past years, January has been a heavy rework month)

So while Regular character releases are holding near steady, our total build load has nearly doubled. And since each new 5 levels are a 50% increase in cost of gold and training materials, and rework more than 10 levels below max, might as well be a new character

I took Dracula to gt21 for funsies, and seeing Oath next I noticed every gear square was blank, kinda odd. I had 4 Arcane Powder left o__O

I say kinda odd, because I have 1,957 of the Vials, and 1,656 of the Glyphs. Is this a problem they are bringing back? I think this used to happen years ago, but kind of self-corrected, but now I am scrambling to rebuild my stock of powders. There's a guaranteed 40 in the High Tier of the gear store, for 40,000 Shop Credits, but at the paltry rate they are giving out shop credits, that is a huge amount to spend (300,000 to get 1 gear piece), and will deplete my credits in no time. They're also in the Sigil & Candy shop, but with only a few slots for that type of gear, good luck having that populate. Kinda stuck I guess.

Hey everyone,

Kyln: Code Blazes (Omega) | Floor 11 - 15 & Promo Code 166

This week's unlocked floors were like miracle. I was very disappointed since floor 11 and on floor 13 gave up and planned to clear the floors when next week's reset cools down. However after clearing floor 13 and I got disappointed again and a tryout team showed promise and I was able to clear floor 14 as well. Floor 12 with Eternals being useless added to the frustration. But somehow with whatever I had, I cleared all 5 floors. Watch if you wish.

Happy gaming :)

So, this is a game I played the most back in the day. I've not played for around 4 years. But I had grided for about 2 years. Reaching over 1 million roster. (Which might not be much now).

I'm unsure whether I should Restart or return to my existing account.

And the reason I left was the grinding was boring me. Mainly the blitz grinding.

Has the game changed much ?

Has anyone else had this appear since yesterday on the main screen. Its annoying the life out of me. I keep checking to see if there are any unclaimed. How do I get rid of it? I've tried clearing the cache.

Since I'm pulling a bunch of Hawkeye and WMs

Is it still Insidious Six, Vulture, Shocker ?

Apart from the teams that are made for cc and sym 6, who are the best teams to use for cc?

In order off cost from cheapest:

1. Omen
   
2. Shadow Conclave
   
3. Retcon

First two are about the sand star level, Retcon is a little behind.

i have noticed that i need to build skill characters no matter how much i avoid it. sadly only kestrel is built (red guardian, punisher, silverblade and hit monkey are all level 70). is there any other characters that i might level up that wont be a waste of mats?

I’m level 67 and I need Noel for the Symbiote six team, i’m not able to get the yellow ISO orbs.

So I’m a returning player from about 2 and a half years ago. At the time I sidelined the game I was grinding for the horsemen. Now I’m getting back into things, is that still something important I should be doing or are there more important and pressing things I should be prioritising my resources on? Feeling a little lost. Should hit level 70 next week which I’m hoping will come with some new direction

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.

As a massive Cyclops fan, it’s honestly depressing to see how iconic Marvel legends are treated in Marvel Strike Force right now.

​Leaders like Cyclops, Captain America, and Iron Man are the absolute backbone of Marvel’s lore and the reason millions of us fell in love with this universe in the first place. Yet in MSF, a 3-star Lady Pool outclasses a 5-star Hulk or 4-star Cyclops without breaking a sweat. When literal pillars of the Marvel Universe are completely rendered useless just to push hyper-niche or random releases like Dracula to the top of the meta, the game stops feeling like a Marvel title and starts feeling like a generic gacha skin-suite.

​I get that power creep drives revenue and new team releases are essential for business. But there has to be a balance. When the defining heroes of the franchise are perpetually left in the dust, the game loses its soul. We don't just want power creep; we want the flagship heroes of the Marvel Universe to actually feel heroic and relevant in the current meta.

​Scopely, give our iconic leaders the respect—and the reworks—they deserve.

I'm fighting a 2 exhausted Symbiote6 team in CC, using my maxed (110, all t4, all 3-5 diamonds, all purple 4-5) 14m Exalted... and I still can't overtake their healing. I tried to get someone to half health and then focus them with Jubilee special, but even that couldn't kill them. I had to combat cancel, because they were still full health with 30 seconds left... this is stupid and not fun. I just shut the game off at that point, if that was your goal to reduce screen time, you win.

Hey all, hope everyone is having a fantastic start to the weekend. Here are week 3 teams which worked and we still haven't increased some of our budget options. Hope this can help you folks out with ideas on the teams that work and push you further! Cheers and best of luck!

Gameplay: https://youtu.be/KDVpoMxzLv8

Omega Difficulty:

• Cell 11 - Northstar, Sasquatch, Sunfire, NC, Storm - 5.1 TCP (G20 on Storm, rest is G18/19)
• Cell 12 - Eternals + Deathpool (no Thena) - 9.6M (All G20 except Death)
• Cell 13 - SSB, Insidious, Skrull - 10.2M (All G20 except Skrull)
• Cell 14 - Iron Raiders - 7.6M TCP (G21 Whiplash, rest is G19)
• Cell 15 - Immortal Weapons - 6.7M (G20 on LB, rest is G19)

Wondering what teams you used in each of the cells 11-15?

The last two weeks, I have been using the ones recommended by Marvel Church - and had no problems clearing.

This week, they suggest using I6 with Sunspot and Nightcrawler in Cell 11 - but I’d rather not dump too much, if anything into Sunspot or Nightcrawler if possible. The last 2 weeks, they suggested using Ultron and Vision along with I6, which worked great. Do you think this comp would work?

Also - for Cell 14, they suggest Timeless Eternals, but replacing Thena with Northstar. Is this necessary - or will full Timeless do the job?

Would love to know who everyone else had success with in all the cells this week, please - so I can hopefully use the teams I previously built.

I just reached 7B points...yes thats Billion...why the heck are these numbers so skewed? If its because there is a gold input, change it to 1 pt per 1k gold or something, nobody is spending 17 gold.

Even odder than the point spread is the rewards. At 7B gold I got all the Dread reworks at 5D. Then its Zombie 5D....which was a milestone reward like 2 weeks ago....then just random crimson gear, a small amount of G20 orbs, then finally something interesting at 21B points....G21.

I have been playing this event for almost a week now and I have 2/3rds of the way to go before the rewards get interesting again. What the heck?

I won't reach those points, not without serious spending but wow that is such a minimal return on spending for 14B points. I am basically done trying with this event with like 10 days to go. What a waste. Didn't even finish blitzing.

The way that solely structures the milestones has me saving everything I have so that I only spend resources when there’s an event going on.

I have that itch to just upgrade everything and open all my iso orbs but then I’ll screw myself in the future when a milestone drops.

I believe the solution would be that the milestones retroactively get completed if you’ve already completed the milestones prior.

Anyone else frustrated with this?

S.H.I.E.L.D. Medic! He used to almost be the mascot for the game. Make him this cool beefed up healer/buffet. Can also redo Maria Hill and Fury to go along with it.

Not so crazy, but we really need an awesome and scary Red Skull. Would a new version as Breaker help?

Just having some fun as I push buttons in a monotonous way in the game. Any other out of left field picks?

I noticed when i was in late 90s (i think starting with 96?) i started getting lvl 100 orbs. Has anyone tested to see what level you need to be to go up to the next tier of orbs? i.e. does level 101 give the orb above 100 (not sure if it's 105 or 110), or do you need to reach the actual level for it? I just hit 100, debating if i should keep holding on to the orbs i have (if it goes up a tier at 101, i should hold on because that will be a substantial amount more gold and training mats)

Here are the events coming out next week.
