G18 REQUIRED! FULL X-Treme X-Men Play Test and STATS BREAKDOWN! MARVEL Strike Force 

Had some people DM me on Discord commenting about Nightcrawlers enhanced focus on his ult. This is true, and why at least in Test Drive that we see this to work and strip. If anyones actually used the ult with a 3 piece x-men in raids right now, at least at 3Y3R (mine) it does not. So there is some benchmark between what I have and what the test drive is in terms of the focus threshold. Keep in mind the test drive is fully maxed out. I suspect that Nightcrawler will need to be in the 5Y5R range at least with the ult focus to strip, but thats G18 as well. I also want people to keep in mind this is D0 we're talking about, think about added difficulties to this raid...

Thank you for taking the time to do a deep dive - always appreciated! Happy New Year (soon anyway lol)!

Just give them a 500% focus buff in raids

THX amd HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

nice vid! when i test full xxm, i also faced similar issues as you and came to a conclusion that msf is doing the same bs as i1.x, so it seems like msf wants you to get your units to g17 - g18 to be able to struggle i2.0 - 2.2 and then i2.3+ you need g18 - g19 to struggle thru.

there is another thing that we all are forgetting. those teen lokis in raid hit like a truck couse of they're passive. when a bifrost in raid has a regen he will always counterattack. and that is what's making them so nasty to deal with in raid. but in the test drive they're not CAing couse it's not a raid, so wonder how long we can survive trying to remove they're buffs. when we fail, they simply CA and demolish our characters

Nightcrawler has a 500% focus bonus on ult, thats why he removes all of them consistently

There giving more shards earlier so this is how they make it hurt. We’re going to struggle until we max out.

It’s a similar team to wakanda war dogs with how they work but more offense. Idk about sustain anymore though man I think on some of these nodes we do lose someone and have to revive them in the match I think they’re designed that way now

Do your numbers take into account Sunspot gives offense up on spawn that gives a focus boost? It is only first turn but that focus for the start is important. That means that NC should be able to remove bifrost buffs with Ult when you add another 50% focus from offense up.

It seems Xtreme X-men needs all characters really big to work well instead of Bifrost/Pegasus that huge Vahl/Kestrel kinda do their thing and you can save a lot of resources as f2p (not sure huge Nightcrawler can do it alone - mine at 4y4r and no osmium so no point now). It may be an issue to force players buying character offers but even if at max lvl they still are pretty bad when landing their hits, I wouldn't be willing to do it - they might be short-lived like Bionic Avengers/Web Warriors if no rework is in process.

What ISO level are your calculations factored off of? ISO blue 3, 4 or 5? May have missed but not sure if was explicitly stated.

raid team that´s dead on arrival.. way to go, Scopely, reminds me of the "apex raid team" of Wakanda back then

I couldn't finish the boss in the trial even with the maxout. its so lame they keep putting iconic characters into weakly built teams. This scandal has to be the nesting doll for prof x, and the potential Excalibur team, and thats why we got this struggle team so fast.

But what this means is we may have to manual these because we have to manage the cool downs and start the boss mode with basically everything available

How do you beat this node, I keep running out of time

Already have gambit 18. Gonna take them tô lvl 85 amd see If its enough like Pegasus and bifrost

Isn't the first strike designed for the f2p and 2.0 regular for the more advanced raid alliances ? You said it, this is going to be the norm, I thought it had been since Incursion 1. Usually, the highest tier/difficulty is not overly f2p friendly.

Curious how this will play out with level 100 and ~ g16

What would diamonds do for this team? Diamond 3 on all the chars? Again, not F2P friendly, but diamonds are in game and spenders would be able to do that now. Level 100 and gear tier 19 are expected additions to the game, which would make Xtreme Xmen better.

If the nodes are not beatable with 4y and 4r then what’s the point in buying the character? Just wait until it’s farmable.

Thanks for doing all the Math.

Gt18???? Daaaamn

Forge Focus Sucks!!!! HE Couldn't Clear His Dinner Plate!! I have him at 5/5 g16 t2 level 5 iso skirmisher and still doesn't clear shizz...

Besides the obvious part of NC ult, I don't see you adress the fact that the units we get to use at g18 lvl 95, by no means hold the stats an actual g18 lvl 95 unit with the same amount of y/r would. Take NC just as an obviously example as you showcase his stats later in the video, a 7y7r iso 5 NC should be in the area of 440k power, the one we get to use is 338k power. Same goes for the entire rest of the team. So while this is a "deep" dive of sorts, I don't think it by any means represent the actual power of the team. My gambit is g17 lvl 95 and he does more dmg on his attacks than the one we get to use, and I've seen videos of a 7y7r NC ingame demolishing wave 1 on the boss node dmg wise, so again take it with a grain of salt, the team is not what we have, I'm not sure what frankenbride we got to play with, but the ingame is world better

I'm starting to think they tuned this for level 100.

Somehow got lucky and simmed the boss node with deathseed minus mags with apoc. Don't have a bio raid team so not much reason to beat mutant nodes. Nice to know I don't need to build them for this lvl if they don't work.

You use forges special first copy all effects from BRB spread to team then night crawlers ult strips all the buffs from

I’m going to disagree with this. None of my xtreme x-men are tier 18. My alliance started doing the new incursion 2 raid the day it was released. I’m ftp “adjacent”. My NC is only 2 stars. I’ve been using the 3 piece plus apoc and AA and soloing my lane. (The boss node is always by committee). I’m seeing Forge’s biggest use on war defense.

Already told my alliance that if this isn't fixed then can kick me because I am done. Like a idiot I already have $200 in NC and Forge and if they don't work at 5y5r I am done. I'm not playing a game that decides if shit works or not based on if I spent enough.

You would open with Nightcrawlers ult in the actual raid. So this shows nothing
