Interesting stuff, especially about discord. This is the second mention I've seen today about it....the other being in the FB group I joined. I'll look into it.

Yes, I almost always go for Crossbones first, since I don't want him to get to use his area attack. It's a bit tougher to do if the team also has Luke or Cap.

For blitzes, I've started that method of using three different tier teams. My C Team actually does pretty well.

~~~~~~~~

Also, I've tried using Bluestacks to play the game on my laptop. But when I installed the game, I had to start from the beginning. I did not see an option to sync with my phone app progress. There might be an issue with my Google Play settings, but I don't even know what to look for to fix the darned thing.

If you linked it previously with Facebook, try linking the one on bluestacks to the same facebook account and see if that works.

[hulahulk]

Well, I got it to work via the FB link, but it takes forever to load anything. I adjusted my Avast AV settings but that had no effect. I might just use Bluestacks periodically when I need to take a break from my phone

Very nice.
Level up Quake, she's popular pick for arena and raids.

Oh, and I now have enough shards for Hulk.
Just gotta save up 100k to recruit him.

[The_Greatest_Username]

I’ve been playing the game for about a week now and it’s very fun so far. What’s considered the best use of Power Cores?

Only use cores for recharging campaign energy, and then only when it costs 50.
When it goes to 100, just save them.

If you end up with a surplus, you can take advantage of one of the special offers.
Just be sure to save enough for three recharges if you do.

[hulahulk]

So, I picked up a few characters since my last update. I'm at L50, a few hundred away from 51.

Very nice, hulahulk!

Gamora and Yondu are really good in Raids.

I see that you're also leveling everyone to level 25. That's what I'm doing, too.
It may handicap me in Arena, but then with the Arena shard issue I won't be getting into the top, anyway.

How are you doing with the Thanos Raids?

[hulahulk]

In the middle of my second Thanos raid, I'm sitting at 11th place in my alliance. Getting crushed by the bosses. No worries, I got 3rd in the first one. 70 shards so far. I read the average haul from the opening tasks was 65 shards. Some people won more, some less. My alliance is pretty active, and it is funny to see that we are mostly keeping similar schedules. We seem to be active at the same time each day. I'm sure it's just coincidence.

How are you doing in the Thanos raids?

[Lee Stone]

About the same.
We all got about 65 shards from the event, and we're currently in our second raid.

We breeze through the raid up until thr next to last nodes (the ones with Summoners accompanied by Strange, Mordo or Loki).
Two of our teams has managed to beat Thanos, but the third team (the one I'm on) has yet to beat him.

Hopefully, soon the third team will figure out a way to beat him and we'll get Tier 3.

Our first run was tough. Although my team got to Thanos and the other two teams beat him, I lost almost all my characters to Mordo and Yondu.

I just deleted the app. I'm sure this comes as a surprise. Been getting pretty sick of being lethargic and chained to a video game's type of commitment.

It's understandable.
Games like this one can be quite demanding. Especially if you're doing dailies and daily raids with an alliance.

Secret:
I usually use games like this to ween me off off other things that may be keeping me from being productive.
Eventually, everything else gives way to the one game, so that when I'm ready, I can just drop that one game and not feel obligated to anything else.

I don't know when I'll do it. It'll probably be when the first members of my alliance start falling off from burn out.
Then I'll simply turn the leadership role over to someone else and fade into the sunset.

It will be hard to let it go, however, because it's a very competitive game.
However, since both Blitz and Arena are near impossible to get a good ranking, it won't be too hard.
