Played for over 2 years and anyone playing this game should not be building older toons at all or ranking them. i however went ahead and did it for all seven reds including minions just for my own goal because all my roster is seven reds except those requiring dark promo credits. This cost you 1 million pretty much 150k/250k/500k ranking from 5/6/7. Gold best spent on leveling a toon you're using everyday. Also for me, there's 125 toons that i see myself using everyday. If I had the choice all these would be lvl 100. At this moment there's 279 toons or 282 if you count the 3 new Merc for Money. So on avg there would be 130/282 toons that i consider worth a damn. That means 130 toons are worthy of G15/G16/G17/18 and someone of them G18 or G19 and higher. I have over 54 G18 toons on my account. Working on 3 Cabal, Peni and Deathpool, Dormammu so that 60 right there. I have resources to many tons of G16s while G17 can be limited but in the future G17 will be the new norm just like G16 currently is. And to anyone who is new. Any new character released. G15 that toon right away. They will be good for your roster and might be good for 1-2 years and saves you time and resources. I'm behind on Cabal but now i been with a better alliance for 2 months gold will be building up for me. I in a top 50 War and 100-250 raid Alliance. My old Alliance was very casual and holding me back. Don't let an Alliance hold your account back if you can do end game count. And please do not waste your gold in the store on G19 gear. Let it come to you naturally unless you are 6 unique away from getting a toon to G19. 6 x 800k = 4.8 million which is a lot of gold but speeds up process if you already have your planned DD7 toons at lvl 100. I am not ready for DD7 yet and i don' want to spend any real money getting the mephisto
You always know that when someone says something is not up for discussion, you're not dealing with someone who's worth conversing with :) Congrats on your milestone! I generally build tall, but I do like exceptions that allow me to widen out a bit, especially if it's related to mutants.
Nav you are right buddy. Thank you for watching and thank you for the support. I’m sure one day I’ll get to that place in the game where I have the exceptions myself it will all be Spider-Verse related though.
@@thebigpositivegeek I recently got my War Dogs up to G13. I wanted to use them (b/c I like Wakanda stuff) for the Gamma raid and also for the Doom node. Now I'm at another Doom node and it's either Power Armor or Black Order lol
This makes me feel a lot better. I may have been somewhat doing tall roster unknowingly and just started branching into wider roster recently because I felt it must be weird that for as long as I have played the game (which is relatively very short compared to you) that I wasn't able to unlock/participate in more contents. Knowing the two side of these roster spectrum, I'll have to reconsider where is the happy level for me going from here.
That was part of the reason for making this and luckily I started talking to the amazing Jade who’s roster building style is wide and they were happy to share their experiences so I had a good outlook of other sides of the coin.
Very helpful! I can describe my roster as narrow with tiers. I’ve got the few I’ve intentionally built, then there’s the chasing squirrels tier, where I build whatever they tell me up to G13.
@Wordfishtrombone shall we say that’s were my previous partner and I would disagree. Especially if you are F2P. Just from the Gold and training materials stand point.
I'm also completely free to play and have been playing for 1003 days. Everything you said in the video is spot on, especially your golden rule. I beat DD2 on day 130, DD3 on day 247, DD4 on day 358, DD5 on day 588 and DD6 on 968. One of the best pieces of advice I got very early playing this game was that just like a skyscrapper your roster should never have floor 13, don't take any character to T13 unless you plan to take them to T14. The devs designed the level stat boosts so that T12 and T13 are very similar, however the stat boost to T14 gives you a practically brand new character in comparison. Thanks for the video!
Instead of the broad discussion, I was looking for more granular info on team choices, resource investments, specific barriers and hurdles to manage, etc., as you progressed.
Hey, I really enjoyed this video. I love your positivity. I’m a returning player, definitely not F2P. but I still need all the help I can get. I’m only lvl 81 and I struggle with new game mechanics. The games changed a lot in the last 2-3 years
It's about your goals. You will eventually need a wide roster to unlock everything & do everything. So it's either build tall & go all out for metas like SuS, Apoc & Mep, then circle back, or go for lower-hanging fruits first & slowly build up to the metas. For me, I build my fav characters that I know I will use frequently. Some happen to be good, like Gambit, Deathpool & Ghost Riders. For that I'm glad. But I don't chase for the top tier rewards & accept it'll be a long time before I get Apoc, SuS & Mep, so I play it my way in that sense.
It's definitely possible, but the point is why would you want to get to the endgame that fast. It's called "end" game for a reason. It's at the end. You're skipping a whole game and tons of fun content in between if you just rush to the end. If you want to be competitive and care for the top spot on the leaderboards, then sure, go for it, I'm not judging (on the contrary, I congratulate you for the achievement!), but if you want to enjoy everything the game has to offer, then a wider roster like I do is probably the best option, even though I probably go to the other extreme and should start narrowing down a bit more haha! Sure, you'll always be lagging behind, but in the meantime you get to enjoy things at your own pace and use a wider variety of characters that you wouldn't have used otherwise. And you'll always be motivated to keep going, because with constant updates you never run out of new things to do. That's probably why so many players burn out and leave the game after a while. They complain that there's not enough good content to keep them entertained, but at the same time they don't want to enjoy the content that is there just because it's "old" and not "relevant" anymore and would rather skip to the end. I guess that people just have different goals when it comes to MSF, and that's okay! Good job on Super Skrull, I won't be seeing him for at least another couple of years haha!
That’s was the reason for my golden rule at the start of the video. It’s your game so as long as you’re enjoying it then that’s the main thing. Thank you for watching and thank you for the awesome comment.
i am F2P, i have been paying for 332 days, i am lvl 93 and just need about 50 G18 mini uniques and 40 uniques to have all my DD6 teams ready for Super Skrull, so it is possible for sure! i dont have Big Apoc tho, that will come after Super Skrull
Nice one buddy. Thank you for watching and commenting. 332 days is impressive big or small Apoc is key to DD6. Is it do-able without yes but it’s going to be a slog.
@@thebigpositivegeek yeah, i am basically trading more attemps for gear, there is another channel i follow, Rayge Gaming, he did it F2P with baby Apoc so i am confident!
Thank you Adam, I mostly do ignore it but I thought this made a good video because there will be people who think it’s not possible but by building and focusing in a certain way anything can be possible.
I agree with you. It is entirely possible to unlock SS in 18 months and now with recent changes this number is closer to 12 for an active player. You simply have to manage yourself well and have a clear objective.
You certainly do. I mean in that 18 months I not only did Skrull but also the full Apocalypse Saga. You have to be so focused in this game to get ahead. Than you for watching buddy.
Thank you buddy, it’s not all the community just some. There are some really lovely pockets of the community and it’s part of the reason I do this as a whole. Thank you for watching.
Some people are plain jealous dude. The internet is full of negativity. Really enjoyed your video. I’m f2p currently level 63. You gained a new subscriber ❤
I'm at the point where I want to get my characters ready for apocalypse, didn't realise that the Morgan la fae hard nodes were going to be so difficult with a 700k darkhold team, I'm also finding it difficult with the black cat mystic villain nodes, got doom at g14, and I feel like I'm hesitant to put more resources into him, and the same with dormammu, I feel like I want to bring him up but not right now,at least I have her unlocked at g16 but it would have been nice to get her to at least 4 stars.
The Morgan Le Fay hard nodes should be do-able like that I would check out my brother C Roe here ru-vid.com/group/PLVTfdTianhWysNcdqDgo1GyTYrDVyMgE3&si=cGtHFqcdSTUhkALS. He has some excellent tutorials on the MLF saga.
Yeah so I believe that Level 65 G12 is like the stopping point if you have spare training materials and gold to put into a character that isn’t meta that you are not going to get much use out of.
As a brand new player with 3 month old boosted account im hoping to get skrull in a year or less considering crimson gear exists now so teal gear becomes more accessible. Right now im in dd5 legendary node and gearing up my horsemen teams from g15 to g16. I did give in to the black knight battlepass so im not f2p lol.
3 months and DD5 is insane. That boost really helps. How have you found your gear and over all materials income with the reduced timescales to getting to things?
@@thebigpositivegeek i just cleared dd5 today! The bottlenecks havent hit me too hard, just the uniques like you said that are holding me back. I build very tall, im even neglecting my raid teams right now which might be a bad idea lol but im doing doom 3 at 50% rn.
@@thebigpositivegeek yep a bit of a hot take but you dont need to invest in the latest raid team too much early on, you can just use the scraps from the horsemen team to get by until incursion.
The thing about investing in the latest raid team is they take less investment to work than what an older team would do for example I know when I was doing doom 1 my teams like Web Warriors for example had to be G14/15 to get through especially as you increased the difficulty. However I know people are doing Doom 1 with Xtreme and Hive Mind at G12 which is a considerable amount of resources that you are saving on the whole.
I'm closing in... I have 2 nodes left on my first run of DD6 day 478. F2P adjacent (lowest and highest time heist when it came out, not sure how much they helped for either Apoc/SuperSkrull though).
