So, can some give me the Cliff's Notes on these "alliance quests" that are being mentioned? I stopped playing just before we started doing those a few months ago and have zero idea what is going to be involved there. TIA.
Click to expand...
Alliance quests are long, multi-path quests. Up to 10 members of the alliance can join a battle map. The alliance can run up to 3 maps ( all the same ) per day. Each member can only join one.The battles are effectively the same, but the map has "buffed nodes". Some are self buffed, meaning the champ you fight will have some enhancement. There also are nodes that buff another node. This is where strategy/coordination/teamwork comes in.

To handle these nodes, one team member will have to go done one path to take out a node that is buffing a champ on another path. A second team member will then go down that second path to the now debuffed champ.

You can scout the arena before joining, see the team that's assembled so far, including the champs involved, so you can coordinate your best champs to compliment the team makeup.

The alliance events are a week long, I believe. Each quest is for a set time ( 24 hrs? ). You select a team of 3 to enter, and these will be unavailable to you for quests, both story and cat runs, until the quest ends.

I think that covers the basics.

Thanks!

Out of the following 3-star guys who should I try to max out?

Ronan

Punisher

Scarlet Witch

Rhino-awakened

Deadpool

Ultron

I would pick the 3 you like to play the most and try to max them out first. The alliance quests only let you take 3, and if you evenly rank them then you can still use them as a team in arena play. I would go with Scarlet Witch, since once duped she is pretty easy to play with. Her "Veil of Fortune" or whatever it is called can nullify the positive things your opponent gets (regen, fury, armor up...) and give you those same things, plus her critical hits will randomly stun.

In most of the alliance quests there are mid point "bosses" and most have been super Juggs, so the more science guys we can along the better. That said, pick who you want since the maps may change.

 
I would probably do Ultron, Scarlet Witch, and Rhino. Tech champs are in short supply, plus Ultron seems badass every time I fight against him. Scarlet Witch is pretty good, and you already have Rhino awakened.

Rhino even awakened is pretty bleh imo. I'd rank up Punisher. You have a better shot of duping him imo.

Really, I find him to be a tank with his armor boost. Punisher's awakened ability seems meh.

Rhino is weak offensively and boring to play with, but he can take a beating. Punishers awakened ability can occasionally save a fight, still not great, but offensively he can be pretty strong. Really a matter of what style you use/prefer.

I tend to value being able to take a beating over dealing damage. Electro can dish out major damage, but a few hits and he's toast. I HATE playing as him. At least Rhino can absorb a couple red specials if the CPU is stubborn

 
Punisher's "Endure" has saved a few fights for me where they were down to their last sliver of health and got off a red special on me. The downside is when they hit me with something that causes bleed damage, and he endures the first bleed but the second gets him. For a split second I think I can pull it off and I die mid dash.

For dupe day, I did not realize so many people did not do the Cornucopia this week.

I needed a bit of a break from arena after the war machine grind.

 
Alliance chat sucks for me, never posts and will stop updating for hours each day.

We reached the 1500 milestone. I agree with Greg in chat, the order of opening should be 2*, then some arenas if people needed gold and already had punisher, then dailies. PHC should be the last resort, and I would have someone who has almost all the 3* open a 3* before everyone started to open PHC.

Regarding the evade and still taking damage, last night I started to notice it. Playing with my 2* I could evade Pun/WS L1 almost everytime, but playing with 3* in quests my timing was way off somehow, not sure if they are a second quicker. The few times I did get an evade I would take damage. I did notice one time I got hit with a L3, but when the animation stopped it gave me an evade, I still took the damage but also got the crit damage symbol. Maybe someone at Kabam fell asleep on their keyboard and changed the coding on it?

Have you tried contacting kabam about the chat issues?

 
Not surprising but Kabam has botched the elite arena. The top 50 are up in arms, their special arena only one winner will get a re-skinned, white suit Iron Fist. Everyone else gets a 4* Black Panther which nearly all of them already have maxed out.

Lots of changes coming soon, crystal.shards (will tak 2k to build a crystal) more arenas and changes to the ranks and milestones. The alliance quests rewards and costs are being revamped as well.

 
This sounds like a cluster****. Why institute so many changes at once? Especially if they revamp the game play? Will the regular crystals go away with these shard crystals? Are the shard crystals going to take place of the special character crystals they put out there every other week? I don't get to reddit or kablam forums much due to them being blocked at work. Do they provide more than a day's notice for these types of changes?

 
Did my first run at Thanos last night and he ##### slapped me. Had to use multiple revives and a crap load of heals. Maxed out SW was only somewhat effective against him, had a few rounds where she did not get in a single hit. Will have to wait for crystal opening day to replenish my supplies. In the meantime guess I will work on maxing UC and take him along next time.

 
Just read the alliance quest change post, they realize that just because they put a ! after a statement it does not make us all drool for it.

 
I think the shards could have a negative effect on the PHCs we normally get but I can't see how it won't be a nice bonus with the 3* and 4* crystals.

Plus reducing the cost and difficulty of the alliance quests while increasing the rewards is great news.

UC is the way to go. I've beaten thanos many times with him with no revives or boosts or anything. Just dexterity.
 
I'm obviously gonna bring my 4* 3/30 cap and colossus. For my third do you guys think I should do 4* unawakened gamora (PI of 1847) or my maxed awakened 3* UC (PI of 1697)?

 
Which one are we doing later and what do I have to do?

Also, any idea what roughly a good score is in the 3-star events? I finished a tad over 270k...I'm not sure if that's any good or what.

How long you been playing? If it's over 69 days, then you'd be in Vet bracket and that's about half what you need. If you are a new player bracket that is a good score I would think. They should send rewards out in an hour or two, let us know where you finished.

 
I see that a rank reward is a 4* capt marvel. I would absolutely love to get that, but I don't think it's even remotely possible

On Biosting in the new players bracket I had about 275k, and placed 2438.

On Air Support in the new players bracket I had about 235k, and placed 4492.

OK. I have only been playing for maybe 3 weeks. I only have like 12 2* guys who are 3-1 and after I get to the 3x bonus I just use them

You'll be perfect to take out the Margaritaville node.

 
I take it these milestone rewards in the antman/yellow jacket arenas are the "base" versions or whatever that don't give the normal dupe stuff? If I was to get the 3* Antman from this (dont have him), and then later dupe it from a crystal, would that give me the normal stuff?

I got a 3* yellow jacket from an arena, and then another one. The second one awakened him, his sting which unloads when the opponent tries to do a special attack is a riot.

 
Whats the difference between critical damage and critical rate?

When youre leveling a guy the top # is his health...whats the one below that represent?

Critical damage is how much damage you inflict; critical rate is the probability (how often) of making a critical hit

The bottom # is the battle prowess -- essentially how good a fighter someone is.

 
So alliance quest rewards now have stamina refills at 6.5m. Instead of spending units to recharge your guy. For those of you who need the tier 4 cat, we only need to get 35m in this quest.

 
Here is a summary of the number of enemies from each class inside the Alliance Quest - Act 1

Science - 16

Skill - 6

Mutant - 6

Tech - 10

Cosmic - 6

Mystic - 13

We have lawn seats in Camden and it's supposed to pour. I may not be going now. I still may drink all the Landshark I just bought though.

 
Bigboy10182000 said:

Click to expand...
Which one what? For the Alliance Quest, the entire alliance (hopefully everyone will join) will end up split into 3 teams with each team having their own "battle group". We can't open the next group until the one before it has 3 people in it, so even if you can't play right away you can join a group. Currently #1 has 4 people and #2 has 1. We try to split the top guys evenly between the 3 so the guys who are "assigned" to group 3 can't get in until 3 people join #2.

To maybe make it a little quicker/easier I was thinking those who can't jump on and fight right away can still get in, and make it to the first fight node in the branch they want to go, but back out. That will leave you on the doorstep, but will clear the way for the next person who does have time for a few fights. That way if Hulk is not going to be on until later tonight, he can eat up a few stamina points and let the second person down his path reach 2 or 3 fights at once. When Hulk gets back later tonight he will be back up to 5 energy, and can get further down the road.

 
I'll join a group, but most likely won't have time to play until later tonight (9 or 10pm EST). I'll check back here to see if groups are formed prior to jumping into one.

I've also updated the spreadsheet with my top character in each class, if that helps anything.
