The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

Thanks for the Anniversary Gift Kabam!

I appreciate the nice gift of Taskmaster that’s coming soon! With that being said, I hear he’s pretty difficult to understand his fighting mechanics. For experienced players, what are your tips and insights into the champion? Is he worthy of ranking up?

    Ah yes I want tips as well. Could possibly r5 him. And I give my brother advice usually and he’s got a skill gem and a decent amount of sig stones. @Demonzfyre your profile pic was taskmaster for a while. Tips?

    Taskmaster has a high skill cap. You can’t play him like you normally play champs. You have to learn how to cycle heavies and trigger exploit weaknesses to get the most out of him. I took up mine to 3/45 and he’s only sig 40 but I have been playing around with him in AQ. He’s fun to play but for best results you do have to learn his exploit weakness mechanic. That’s where a lot of his damage potential lies.

    @Mitchell35 i have him R4 duped as a 5*. Hes fairly technical to use. The biggest thing is to make sure when your next exploit comes up, make sure do it as quickly as possible. Stacking the exploit debuffs results in high damage. Also, after 10 debuffs applied, he becomes debuff immune which can come in handy. Watch this video. Its super helpful-

    I just wish that I would be able to use him...kinda phasing out of 4* and only using the actual gods of the 4*s for stuff. All resources are focused on 5* rn. Wish that Howling commandos got a 5* TM. Oh well cool animations I guess

    I'm with you. I'm going to rank my 4* gambit to at least 4/40 for exploring the variant 1.1. Going to 5/50 my 4* void for LOL x-23 unless I pull a 5* soon. Other than that I can't see ranking any more 5*s... unless I pull wolverine but I've given up on that lol

    Does anybody know is he is a basic or a full champ, I've got him so will I get the iso and sig leval or no
  • ThebgjThebgj Member Posts: 635 ★★
    I will take anything they give out, and will appreciate it..

    BUT, I hope that circus Champs don't become the norm. I consider starky, doc oc, and this guy circus Champs. I'm sure there's more.

    I just want to jump on-punch- and be done.

    I've completed all of the acts 100% without using any of them. I won't deal with LOL or the variant modes. I'm not in dire need of those rewards. I'm sure those Champs I just mentioned would help, but I don't care 😂

    All about exploit weakness. Every 10 seconds, let the enemy attack, then use that attack to do extra damage.
  • TheSquish671TheSquish671 Member Posts: 2,880 ★★★★★
    Parrying then exploiting the weakness will give you enough time to launch a heavy before the stun expires, to get the next exploit weakness target, then repeat 4 more times for the passive concussion, which gives a new exploit weakness target immediately after you exploit the current weakness. Needs dupe to do this

    That’s why I hope I fall into that bracket through my complicated history with the game.

    I mean, assuming you already have him, I don’t think Kabam will let you have two 4* Taskmasters. Just saying

    It’ll probably end up as a dupe sig 1 like arena

    The ones that require a dog and pony show to be effective.

    Mehhh a sell 4 stars for fun. We should be getting a 5 star a least. Playing 4 years WOW
  • SpiritOfVengeanceSpiritOfVengeance Member Posts: 2,353 ★★★★
    @CapWW2
    Watch out you will get swarmed by people saying you are ungrateful for not accpeting a free 4 star even though you obviously open loads of them every week.

    I personally don't mind if they didn't give a 5 star but damn at least put 5k 5 star shards instead of the dangerous 4 star.

    Maybe in another 4 years we will get a 5 star basic crystal when 10 stars are out.

    Yeah that's what I meant. I was drinking last night lol. Hopefully a regular dupe but free stuff is free stuff so I'll take it either way.
