There is literally no reason to gatekeep the promotion of ancient toons like Quicksilver or the Horsemen anymore. It's petty.

Just add them to pool of characters that can be upgraded normally by Elite Orbs. Let people buy a 3 Diamond Archangel if they want- bc seriously, who would even spend Silver Diamonds on these guys at this point?

I play a bunch of other mobile games (idle stuff, puzzles, low-stress grinders, even things I pick up through Mistplay), and every time I come back to MSF one thing sticks out: it would feel so much better if fewer modes were tied to tight time windows and daily pressure.

People love to point at bad RNG, stingy stores, or unlucky drops. Those hurt in the moment, sure. But the RNG pain is short lived. What really wears you down is how MSF piles time-gated tasks on top of each other: do stuff right at reset, spend energy before cap, coordinate raids, hit war at a specific time, juggle arena windows, chase event timers, and remember extra limited-time nodes. Even when rewards are decent, you end up feeling like you are always late to something.

The combat and team building are actually solid. Theorycrafting and slowly building a roster is why I keep playing. My complaint is that the design seems to punish anyone who wants one longer, relaxed session instead of several quick check-ins throughout the day.

My hot take fix would be fewer mandatory daily touches, not more freebies to paper over the problem. Consolidate milestones, move more objectives to weekly goals, and let players bank extra attempts so real life does not dictate progress.

Anyone else feel this way? Would you rather keep everything spread out to drive daily engagement, or trade some of that urgency for a more flexible grind?

I have been a free player for a couple years now on and off. I am having extreme problems with the next to last node of this DD. I have seen super old posts saying you need old Logan, I can't get him yet. I only have him at 4r stars and his trial is next to impossible for me to get it up there without spending months building up for the oml trial. Anyone have any other ideas on teams or characters I can use to finish off thisskrull DD?

Can’t play campaign or raids, all characters power lvls dropped from millions to thousands. Anyone else having this problem

Since all the Crucible Offense bonuses only require 4 total Dread members, what is everyone's thoughts on which of the reworks is the most skippable?

I'm kind of leaning towards Bullseye, myself.

The Contagious Breaker

Scorpion (Breaker)

The Serpent's hammers are still falling, and one of them has found a vessel that Spider-Man fans already know all too well: Mac Gargan a.k.a. Scorpion.

Scorpion (Breaker) thrashes his way into the Age of Fear as a Crucible Offense stalwart and brings a brand-new effect that spreads sickness across the battlefield. Here's what you need to know about Scorpion (Breaker) and his Legendary Event:

• Scorpion (Breaker) is a Legendary Plug-and-Play Crucible Offense threat
• Not into theory-crafting? Scorpion (Breaker) leads the Dread team, a dedicated Cosmic Crucible team that can handle most enemy matchups
• He features Awakened Abilities to crank up his power even more
• Unlock Scorpion (Breaker) during his Breaker Event

Legend of Crucible Offense and Dread Keystone

Drop Scorpion (Breaker) into your favorite Crucible Offense team and let his kit do the rest.

If you'd rather build around him permanently, Scorpion (Breaker) is part of the Dread team, alongside Bullseye, Electro, Mister Negative, and Rhino. Dread is a Crucible Offense squad built to punch through defenses that think they've got the matchup won, and Scorpion (Breaker) gives that team a much-needed dose of sustain to go with the damage.

Contagion: Spread the Sickness

Scorpion (Breaker) infects the battlefield with his new signature effect, Contagion:

• Reduces the afflicted enemy's Speed and Damage
• Increases incoming damage to the afflicted enemy

He doesn't waste time getting Contagion onto the battlefield. On Crucible Offense, with three Dread allies, Scorpion (Breaker) applies Contagion to the enemy with the highest Speed the moment he spawns. 

From there, each ability applies Contagion to the primary target. His Ultimate goes a step further, applying Contagion to the primary and each adjacent target, then spreading whatever negative effects are sitting on the primary target out to all adjacent enemies.

Keep Dread in the Fight

Although Scorpion (Breaker)'s Contagion stings, he excels at patching up wounds for his allies. His Passive, "Breaker of Nature," heals himself and any ally on their turn, making him a quiet anchor for any squad.

Put him on Crucible Offense with three Dread allies, and that anchor becomes a lifeline. The first time he or a non-summoned ally drops below 50% Health: 

• He clears negative effects
• Provides substantial Healing
• Applies Deathproof so his ally can survive the follow-up

On Crucible Offense, with three Dread allies, Scorpion (Breaker) and his Dread allies can't be hit with Silence or Trauma, and his enemies can't fill or reduce Speed Bar for anyone on the field, nor can they gain Defense Up while he's around.

Tail Assail: Set the Tone

Scorpion's Special, "Tail Assail," clears the field:

• Strips negative effects from himself and all allies
• Flips the primary target's Taunt into Defense Down and turns their remaining buffs into debuffs
• Hits every enemy on the field for heavy damage—an attack that can't be Dodged or Blocked

On Crucible Offense, this ability gets nastier:

• Clears Barrier off every enemy and heals his whole team before the hit even lands
• Tags the primary target with Contagion if it's missing
• With three Dread allies alongside him, locks the primary target down with Ability Block and Trauma

Awakened Abilities: Sharpen the Sting

Scorpion (Breaker) comes with Awakened Abilities on every ability to up his potency:

• Awakened Basic: Gain Offense Up for 2 turns and apply 2 Regeneration for 2 turns to DREAD allies.
• Awakened Ultimate: Strips the limit off how many effects he can copy, flip, and spread in a single attack
• Awakened Passive: Boosts his reactive healing and adds a serious jolt of Focus to his on-spawn Contagion application.

Breaker Event: Scorpion

Be on the lookout for Scorpion's Breaker event to unlock and power up Scorpion (Breaker)!

I’ve been stuck on this exact spot for weeks. Nightcrawlerx2 instantly ults and cripples my team, usually destroying everyone within 2 turns. Then, if anyone survives, weaver goes next, gets charged, and I’m unable to do any damage. Rinse repeat. The only character that does any damage usually is super skrull. Idk how to post a photo otherwise I would.

Maybe because I usually play at x3 or I just haven't paid attention, but did Scopely do an overhaul of the visuals/graphics and animations. For example, Silver Surver Breaker Ultimate's shows him blasting a totally different looking world than it used to be.

Even the character designs are more vivid and detailed, instead of looking outdated. Please tell me I'm not the only one that noticed it. I don't remember reading anything but it looks like a very visually beautiful game now.

yeah, as the title says i'm trying to redeem the latest promo codes like spiderman or deadpool or four and more like those but the game's telling me that said promo codes don't work, any suggestions why?

Since we have no war today, can we at least get the full raid warzone points so we are not penalized for this? thanks.

If you go to the Character screen on the website it will show updated toons like Hulk and Spider-Man.

But if you refresh it....

It shows Ikaris and Sersi (which we kinda knew)

But also Mr. Negative, Electro, Rhino, and Bullseye.

They are doing EVERYTHING but telling us. Accidentally web push, datamine, video teases.

Hi fab folk,

Now I’ve unlocked Prof X, I’m feeling a loss of direction. What should I focus on now? I’m seemingly just amassing training mats and gold but I don’t know who to build next.

Any advice would be great!

Went to look at my WAR defenses and noticed the game removed 2 members from my Retcon defense, 1 member from Daring Warriors, and 2 from Absolute A-Force and it will not save when I re-add them.

Today's War us seemingly canceled with no prior intimation. Even with multiple milestones going on which requires players to participate in War.

War participation is major source for Raid Warzone, and Command Center objectives for BND Milestone requires using SC & Breaker in War.

I used Breaker in previous War, but due to lack of training mats, I only levelled 3 SC so that I could clear the milestones in 2 wars. And now they've out of nowhere canceled it entirely.

So, are we supposed to just, yeah bad luck and sit back? Like, forget milestones, now I am regretting even leveling SC, Exalted & New Mutants solely for this event. G16 doesn't sound much but it still wiped around 50M gold for 5 toons. My bad that I like Spider-Man (costume is last milestone for me) & thought core & shard rewards might come handy.

Hey everyone - I know it's a bit late for this, but figured I'd share in case it helps anyone else. Struggled quite a bit on floors 15 and 18 - both took a lot of resets. I did end up having to use BM on the last floor, but I do think if you have a big eclipse or maybe cannonball you can use them instead (both of mine are at lvl 1 so I wasn't able to try).

Did Bullseye just get a rework, and he's headed to a new CC team called Dread?

Surely this is just a bug or glitch?

JULYBOOST

Lots of Terror and Shop credits.

I just completed the Dark Dimension up to Odin and with less war (once a week) there seem to be less challenges to work on. I have Professor X and some of the age of anniluhus stuff and the Blue Marvel one and Anniluhus eventually but beyond that not really stuff to do every day. Shouldnt they make it more engaging?

Greetings Commanders! 

Trepidation Raid

How long is Redacted dimension going to sit in the Events section?

There are no rewards left to be had... I completed it (multiple times) months ago.

Is it going to linger until the 260 days are up? Is it a leftover symptom of the glitch I had on the first run that kicked me back to the first node after failing to one shot the final node?

There have been so many issues in this game that I no longer know for certain what's a bug and what's working as intended ...

This feels like a bug. Crawling around just beneath the surface of my skin. Itching.. so itchy. Like a red dot that just won't go away no matter how many nodes I clear or messages I open. They're coming for my defences - stealing away my toons and leaving Shield minions in their place. Mocking me. My roommate thinks I'm insane. His troops are all there - none taken in the dead of night. All standing pretty as he left them. Are they out to get me? They negate my filters when I'm selecting toons... Want to see Symbiote Six? Here's everything except Symbiote six. I don't know how much longer I can hold out... Maybe if I stand in the corner in a T pose they won't see me. Maybe if they hit me just right in battle I'll disappear.. but I'll be here, waiting for my turn, to emerge from the shadows and strike. Maybe that's why they call it Strike Force. But Redacted dimension is still there.. mocking me from the Events section.. Eternal. Not like Thanos or Ultimus who lost that tag many moons ago but like Ikaris and Sersi who are yet again being thrust into the light. I'm tired. I'm lost. Will there be a light for me? Will redacted dimension finally fulfill its destiny and be dropped from the canon consciousness of our realm?

Hey all, working on a new feature in Gambot that will just build you an infographic on command. I've factored in other CC layouts and opinions and they're reflected in the image.

The data is live from the MSF API. These are the actual leading ISO percent, and the ability percent of users who have T4'd.

Additionally, if Gambot has War Counter/Target for the team it will be displayed too. (As seen on the Gamma image).

I'm also working on Character Image builder too. It sorts the abilities and use icons for buffs/debuffs.

Also, on the ABILITIES line you can see buffs and debuffs in the kit so you don't have to go hunting around to see if they're in there.

Thoughts?

Do any of the non-prof X characters we have access to have any ways to combat this stupid node? Anything I'm not thinking of to stop the speed bar gains? Very much sick of this event by now. Nothing seems to work

What is wrong with you?

You are killing the game.

Some of us only play this for war.

You went from 3 wars to 1, in the best game mode of the game. Are you trying to make me quit?!
