    I think I've settled on this build for Ultron

    Bearing in mind I don't have SP from chapter 10 or Limbo yet

    The skrull terminal is pretty dang quick with a teleporter.

    Aim and Hydra are also quick with a teleporter. If I were levelling a teleporter now I'd do them too. With a teleporter, the only terminals worth skipping are ultron and doom.

    SO I think I'm leaning toward doom for my free character.

    But I may be leaning Gambit for my 400 splinters. He seems a bunch of fun. Does that drop after the first few levels?

    you have what, four ranged drones in this build?

    I haven't really settled on a build I like for him yet

    it's kind of fun running around with six drones though

    Yeah, I use four drones, ranged drones feel a little more consistent to me but you could also go melee.

    And spare points go into either the defensive passive or the other drone for the 2.5% synergy bonus per point.

    Since all your cooldowns in energy are a 8s cooldown it's a nice smooth rotation. Every 8s you reapply Irradiate, and use Annihilate/Encephalo/Swarm.

    Currently considering swapping Augment Weapons for Augment Sacrifice to have a physical damage layer so I can use an Xavier school ring and Power Doop

    I really enjoyed gambit. Bought a costume and everything. I hear he's actually gotten better since back when I played him, as well.

    I'm thinking of dropping Precise Beams in favor of taking another cooldown (maybe a physical one?) and just using Irradiate as my primary attack.

    Edit: haha, as I'm looking at my power bar, apparently I forgot to swap in precise beams for the default Blast, whoops!

    So, I realized that by adding another cooldown layer in by swapping to Augment Sacrifice, it makes the build no longer power neutral, which is a huge bummer.

    The nice thing about using Precise Beams as a filler, aside from the fact that it does a good deal more damage than Irradiate, is that you regenerate power faster than you spend it. So the cooldown period becomes a recharge period as well.

    When I added in Sacrifice to my Irradiate/Annihilate/Encephalo/Swarm rotation every 8 seconds, I was losing around 100 power per rotation, which is a little rough to keep up with.

    Apparently Art of Rawr is returning to Gaz after two years at another dev and will be a lead designer. Asros also said some other former dev was returning but I didn't recognize his name.

    Initial changes to blessings is on TC and apparently Hela is getting the nerf. Asros says things are super early and not final.

    The Hela changes will provoke outrage. But they do seem to be trying to get some variety. I'm not sure how well they are succeeding though. Spiderman might want the new Fandral depending on where the numbers end up. Frigga still looks awful.

    I've been duking it out a bit in that thread despite knowing full well the people that just want the Marvel Heroes Clicker Game instead of actual balance will never actually "get it", but yeah, Hela blessings never should have made it into the game as is.

    Flat percent gains that don't obey diminishing returns is just begging for problems.

    I saw your posts! I wasn't sure whether to @ you about them, but it was nice to see someone speaking sense in the face of people sobbing about "only" having a 44% bsr

    They seem continuously be adding dialogue for most characters

    I dunno if there's an exhaustive list anywhere, but I know I've noticed black widow getting some new lines

    Well if only for the new team ups and heroes. But I remember gwen at first was fairly repetitious and lacked lines, but now she has a lot more dialogue with even established heroes and not just new ones.

    I was kind of sad American Dream doesn't have any real new animations I was kind of hoping for a bit different attacks.

    Realizing there was a way to shut up the ambient chatter was a massive saving grace for my sanity.

    Hearing the same line uttered repeatedly got old really fast. I could see turning it on once in a while if they add a bunch more, but Hawkeye telling off Deadpool like a dozen times a session did nothing to ingratiate the game to me.

    First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

    like, widow for example at some point fairly recently started saying 'go get them' when you activate micro-drones

    which is no amazing piece of VA, but it surprised me because they just randomly added it within the last couple months

    I managed to outfit 26 of my unlocked heroes with l80 legendaries and sold probably 8-10 more (damn Norn stones). That means I averaged at least one cake a day. Logged in one last time to get to 100 slices, and got a leaderboard reward that got me to 125 slices. Got me another dog and the silly DD spotlight. No slices left taking up inventory.

    Also unlocked 3 new heroes during that time and unlocked a new TU. Almost have 400 ES built up for anther new hero or TU.

    So apparently despite it being super fun at the time, it turns out that starting play during super anniversary events can make normal game play seem way less fun.

    I think the biggest individual difference is in the lack of Odin's Bounty chests when I kill bosses now, as those accounted for probably over half of my xp. Plus we (will have?) lost the super xp buff, so now it's taking dramatically longer to get my second hero to 60, and that's before I prestige either of them or try out one of the other 3 I own.

    It does get better as you level more heroes as the synergy bonus for already having a hero at 60 is beefy and gets bigger with each further one you level.
