Marvel Heroes 20xx

Any reason why Xdef and Holo Sim arent popping on a level 1 hero? Been a while since I played.

X-Def was popping for me at level 5 today.

Psylocke is damn strong now with her Hybrid spec fully working. I am getting about 1:25-30 ttk on raid dummy (with only 400 omega points, but using pretty much BiS gear). The only issue I am having is a little survivability (pretty minor though). Still need to get my 25% medkit/invulnerable x-gene core and i think it'll solve the survivability issues. Enjoying her playstyle quite a lot

Can you show me your build? I was thinking about leveling her.

Psionic Combat:

Telekinetic Prowess - Max
Psionic Projection - 1 point
Assassinate - Max

Ninja Assassin:

Falling Lotus Strike - Max
Deadly Assassin - Max (don't use toggle-part though)
Kirisute Gomen - Max
Katana Typhoon - Max
Shadowstep - 1pt

Telepathy:

Psionic Assault - Max
Psionic Resilience - 1 point
Ethereal Butterflies - Max

Alternatives:

Put 1 point in Ethereal Butterly and max Psionic Projections instead.

Gear:
Use all of her 1-5 uniques, they are pretty much BiS
Use Power Cosmic legendary
Artifacts: Taskmaster Guide, GoK, Zola, White Suit Jacket (I just mainly for the health)
Midtown Guardian Signet (synergizes with Assassinate since it is a movement power)
Uru-Forged - War Plate w/ Power Doop
Relic: Atlantis
Costume: All +crit damage



The damage output is damn insane and the playstyle is fun with all the dashing and stealth mechanics. You'll see constant 1.5-2.5million brutals from assassinate. With Power Cosmic buffs, Midtown ring buff, and Power Doop buffs, my Kirisute does 45-60kTOOLTIPdamage a strike. That is basically double the non-buffed version of it. Basically, Psylocke excels heavily with buff uptimes of those 3 items. The good thing is, they are pretyt much 100% uptime. So in essence, almost every attack you use will be double-damage at all times. It is just stupid powerful




EDIT: Juggernaut is up on test right now!

yeah Psylocke is fucking beast mode. Too bad it's better to have a lower dps ranged hero than a higher dps melee in red raids. Gaz apparently copied Blizzard raid design down to the very finest detail.

Juggs looks insanely fun.

appears trick or treat buff drop is based on SIF. not seen much as far as numbers but chat was saying under 150 one per 30-45mins, over 300 every 5-10mins.

Anyone want any of those? ring 4 and guide 5 are sold already

*edit* The left picture is Taskmaster's Fighting for Loser's guides

Is this lowered for sub-60 hero's? I'm only at 119% SIF but I've only gotten the buff once in 36 levels...

I had 500% SIF and had 3 buffs on the go constantly for 2 hours this morning.

Anyone have a good Hulk and Human Torch guide?

Thanks.

I think playing Psylocke is making me miss a ton of the pumpkin buffs. Constantly dashing around from screen to screen and killing the weak mobs so I never see what they (possibly) drop.

As an aside, what's the best Legendary for a hybrid Psylocke if I don't have a Power Cosmic?

Gungnir is always the default p much.

Ghost Rider is a god damn champ among men now, really loving em.

Gungnir definitely... However, Power Cosmic is pretty much worth 2-3x a Gungnir, it is just a stupid OP legendary.

***Still looking for a X-gene 25% medkit/Invul core. Message me here or ingame 'LostVirtue' and we'll work out a deal.

Worked on Daredevil today, leaving him at 58 to finish tomorrow. He's basically an inferior Wolverine, worse single target and possibly even more fragile. Pretty good for a 200 splinter hero though.

don't know if they game has gotten really popular or people more brazen, but seeing more running isboxer (or equivalent) a lot now.
people even using lfg channel to fill out their team

I jumped in to this a couple weeks ago to run around casually. I see people posting on the official forums that it takes them like 6 hours to level to max and shit. I'm like level 44. It takes me like an hour to get a level. Is that normal? Are the guys bragging about leveling popping pots all over the place or is it because they already have a ton of Omega points/synergy exp?

Right now to level I am hitting green terminals for whatever my legendary is (except Doctor Doom, I reroll that shit) and I hit my three daily shared quests. Is that the most efficient way to level? (Hawkeye in case that matters)

For every hero you level up, you get bonus experience. The breakdowns are shown at the bottom of the stats panel under Hero Syngergy Bonus XP. That bonus caps out at 200%. So once you have leveled some heroes it becomes progressively faster. And yes, doing terminal LQ's are the fastest way to level 20+. From 1-20 the fastest way is to do Holo-sim. You will outlevel the bracket you are in after a few waves, so you have to leave and come back a few times.

with the nerfs to holosims xp, i have been doing a couple of laps around the new prologue with new heroes. which is pretty quick and the "saved citizens" count on the mm daily on those days.

Yeah, LQs are the way to go. The shared dailies are not, but of course, feel free to do them for other reasons! And yeah, that was normal for me too for my first guy. Some things you can get to help are a Mole Man Medallion (I forget where you get it, but its one of the story quests which has an event every few minutes, you go underground and kill him), and put Seer's Brilliance on a Uru piece for more exp too. You can of course use buffs if you want. If you run every green and red term once a day you get shards, those you turn in for fortune cards, and those typically give buffs, including exp buffs. But you'll probably take longer clearing those than the buff would matter. Maybe not though.

For my 50s, without buffs or a good server event, it was taking me like 1.5-2 hours to level. Right now there's a bonus 66% to level though, which is nice.

X-def is actually the fastest, but the low level queues are so terrible (or were for me), that I mostly just did the story quest for 1-20 while sitting in a queue. Still doesn't take long at all. All said and done, Holo-sim is probably the fastest all things considered.
