Best Of

As a longtime player and forum member, I really, really want to provide useful feedback.

But this game-mode is just so awful, it's not really possible.

I'm not going to go into the little niggles about the fact it's largely based on guesswork and spending for more credits.

For me, the main problem is, unfortunately, the entire premise of the game: it's just plain boring and frustrating watching your champs getting their a$$es kicked, whilst you can do basically nothing except watch for the infrequent prompts to enhance a special attack.

I genuinely resent the fact that you've stuck a load of Mr Fantastic Research Grants in there, making test-playing something which is incredibly frustrating and time-consuming appear almost mandatory to get the 7* Mr Fantastic.


Can anyone confirm, please: are the Research Grants in the Dimensional Arcade objectives the ten denoted to "Special Gameplay Objectives", above?

And if so, are we able to still reach 100 Research Grants without having to wade through this game mode?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Many people are upset about the 3 entries per day limit, but hear me out. Until this mode came out, I was fully F2P. However, this mode actually got me interested—so I bought 30 tokens and just after 15 entries, it became clear that the whole design was balanced with those 81 entries in total in mind. After creating good enough build it is unlikely to loose since shater mode has static difficulty.

Out of my 36 runs, I’ve only lost 6 times—4 in story mode (I didn't farm) and 2 in shatter, where I was doing objectives with other champs. (I overestimated invi woman’s shield healing.)Just to be clear, I am lucky enough to not have this mode bugged.

I used invi woman build around evade (damage ignore) and crit chance (power-up getter). After 15 entries, she could solo any level thanks to her shield (with healing) and invisibility (100% evade + 300% attack).

Another beginner-friendly option seems to be Human Torch, focused on damage. On the other hand, thing appears to be the worst starting option for beginners (or completly but that might be just my bias).

In the late gameplay (36 entries ), the strongest beast seems to be mr. fantastic with all 4 specials active and practicly all teamwork from invi woman. After he starts throwing specials he is practicly almost always invisible (100%) and cooking every doombot and with healing from shield from invi woman he often finishes wave 8 with full health. But as I said before he is for later game.

Even after 36 games, I’m still not entirely sure how the doombots work. Here’s what I’ve figured out:
- Green: Healing
- Red: Burn
- Blue: Armor
- Yellow: Seem to deal more damage and possibly lower evade chance slightly
- Purple & light blue: Still a complete mystery to me

As for attack delay—it doesn’t seem to matter much unless you’re fighting a single Doombot. I had invi woman with less than 0.5s attack delay and I don't remember her attacking twice if there was 3+ doombots alive.

To conclude:
1. I may be in minority but I enjoy this mode
2. It is possible to get titan shards within 81 runs (possible not certain, also bugs may lower your chances)
3. If you have to buy something, only tokens are worth it. Using tickets for anything else seems inefficient
4. Keeping attack delay under 0.8s seems to be enough, although I won't say it is not worth investing in.
5. For beginers I would recommand using invi woman or torch and getting invi woman teamwork masteries pretty soon.
6. Evade, critical chance and special attack cooldown reduction seems to be most important masteries (at least for my build)
