Thanos

As he currently is, should never have been the final event boss. The truth is he is/has been fun to fight and has definately made me stretch the limits of my abilities. But after i hit phase 2 all I seem able to do is watch my champs go haywire amd get k.o.'d. I would have rather seen the same kind of path and this champ as a "stand alone" challenge like was done with Crossbones years ago. For the pure fun of it he could have been set to the side as a "one off" challenge with a decent prize if you beat him. (Like the old carnival sledge hammer game! One swing and if you ring the bell a prize!) As it is he is just pissing me off! He is just a barrier between me and the stuff i need! But the stuff i need can be obtained over a longer period of time for far less in the way of supplies and units! So beating him will take more than it is worth to me...was that the plan? How about you help us understand this seemingly new direction? To me it feels like we are headed for pure "pay to win." If so? Then be truth about it and let us know so we can cut bait and move on!

Is this master or uncollected Thanos?

Rap

For me it is currently Master. I have a total of 8 r5 4s and zero r3 5s and i have been completing master for a good while now with just what i have. I have been working toward expanding my options but after 2 and a half years of zero t4c available to solo players I have been left in the dust by my.peers. i am beginning to catch up now that Kabam has loosened their grip on the stuff. No doubt somewhere in my vast roster i have the champs that could take him but i haven't had the luxury of raising them. I have no plans to rank champs based on completing single events. If they don't fit into my plans and current needs outside of a single event then i guess, like so many, i will just take a pass on this stuff...and if it is the trend! maybe the entire game...dunno.

May help if you explain what you mean by “haywire” the best guess is you cannot deal with reversed controls which is cancelled after a combo ending in a light

Intercept when the champs don't respond to commands??? Okay. I will work on that! And like i said he's been fun for a challenge. And i got intercept skills and i tried reversing the controls and will continue to, but i am not ranking hyperion or someone else just to finish this guy. And it is beginning to feel like that is the trend all the way around the game. "Special champs required". No longer champs of a certain size or greater but someone from a specific pool of champs. I wanted a game where i could play as an avenger and someone else could choose to play as the x-men specialist, while someone else was the defenders...mix it up! But we are directed down one path ever bigger everybody! and now directed to specific champs and abilities...no so much fun! Never fun when options and choices become limited. And this event feels like a mess! For one thing why is it taking so long for the stone quests to be released? And why wasn't there at least event crystal shards added to the main event quest? And why weren't we given the stones to take on this thanos??? How much more fun that might have been! The first 24 hours it rained goodies! Now it's a whole lotta hardnwork for nothing.

And for whatever reason kabam wants all of us to return to the beginning! And start all over with the 2014 champs.

I am not even sure what to make of this post, it is so full of something, but it makes no sense.. You dont need to rank hyperion, you dont need specific champions, though just like every fights some champions have advantages over others... If you want to beat thanos with avengers you can, if someone else wants to beat thanos with xman they can, it is doable, it just requires knowledge of the fights and skill. You are not "directed down one path"

Having the stones to take on thanos would not have been fun, it would have been too easy, besides it is hard to have the stones when he has them...

I must admit it is always fun watching the self described paragon of skill constantly havine trouble with low level encounters and blaming Kabam instead of developing your own skill.

Rap

And if i am correct (chance now to rethink kabam) then the new spiderman film event will require 2014 spiderman somewhere. And cerrainly those champs in his verse.

Rap

"Build it and they will come!" Fix them! and then we will raise them! Update them and we will raise them! This forcing us to raise them updated or not until you guys at kabam get a round tuit! Really sucks as a plan and a direction.

Rap

I was referring to alliance wars and the alliance events with the specialist comment more than this event. What happened was multiple duplications of the same champs and squads in those events. And the challenge of this guy would be great fun for a bonus. Maybe i will work out how maybe i won't. But in the mean while...as a solo player...i got nothing but that (re-running thanos) and arena's to do because the stones quests are coming too slow. I have finished all of the mini games except for ranking Avengers and those that require alliance and dungeon to complete...and i will never complete those as i have them all and i have ranked them all already including my 1 5 star avenger. And not joining an alliance...and no dungeons right now.

I'm not that good but it's not that hard once you get it down. First of all its only what 9 or 12 energy one fight if you lose back out and trying again don't spend units. B ) there are probably a youtube video on how to beat him research and finally the second phase once you reach that point pause the game take a deep breath say to yourself forward is back, back is forward get that mind set and get ready for phase there. good luck on your endeavors, may the grind be with you!

I have watched the videos and from what i have seen everyone has champs that autoblock and have unblockable powerups. I have them but not ranked. And i don't have medusa and Sinister. But again what level of skill do those champs have as opposed to mine? My main roster is primarily 2014 champs blade gets him down to phase two alone then my timing is off when the reversal happens. None of my choices are unblockable none of them auto block and r5 compared to r5 mine are on the low end of the power spectrum compared with ImIW and Medusa...so as you can see it really does take ranking certain champs or so the videos seem to indicate. Specifically, autoblock and auto perry, deterioration attacks of some sort, unblockable attacks and i image a pretty high level of sig...

blade will get you to phase 3 easily, because he can still parry in part 1 where normally he would not be able to, also his power gain increases your chance to have 1 or more bar of power when you reach phase 1 at 95%. In addition at phase 2 it is just parry, swipe back to charge in and hit a combo and bye by reversed control.

my team was blade, sparky, ghost rider (low rank) imiw and gulk to have 2 avengers (imiw's damage sucks). So as you can see, you are incorrect, it does not require autoblock or autoparry. Shoot you can do it with any champion if you can deal with reversed controls and heavy baiting effectively.

whelp there goes your theory....

Rap

Well then i will continue testing it till there is no more time. I have gotten easily to phase 2 multiple times but have not mastered our friends favorite word "intercept" which is my best thing which makes the phase one easy. So i will attempt to master my intercept in reverse! Thanks for advice guys. Like i have said. He is fun. But not ranking or spending for this for sure!

And bored waiting for other material to play.

you need intercept on phase 3, not 2. Phase 2 you need to just parry and swipe back to attack (but only if you have reversed controls), once you have removed it you can parry attack as normal until thanos throws another special, at which point you parry dash back to attack and finish combo.

Rap

So perry is slide forward? Then swipe back?

SidDDragon

I gotta admit until I tried thanos last night,I was quite skeptical of him... but since I didn't have a team to beat him last year, I was determined to give him a shot and I went in with a team of 4/55 blade,3/45 go,3/45 hulk,5/50 GR and hiemdal...it took me a few tries but I was able to get him to 30% between blade and gp and then I used some stashed items to get him down and I must admit this was the best boss fight I have ever done cuz it depends on skill..there is no random stuff going around which usually makes me wanna quit this game...would I be able to clear phase 1 without blade, probably not but I was lucky to have pulled him and it paid out so yes having specific champs helps but if u have those champs,it can be a real fun fight

Lormif

the only controls that are reversed for reversed controls are front/back (swipe forward swipe back), parry is still a tap, you tap then swipe back if you have reversed controls.

Rap

No question he has forced me to improve my parry. If i have a weakness in skill that is where it is. I rely on intercept and crit and toe to toe pounding...love sending em sailing with Hulks upper cut as they charge at me!

Rap

Part of that has to do with that was how i was taught to fight for real! Intercept, knock em off balance, Hit them again and push forward and keep pushing them back until they are cornered! Give no quarter! And if outnumbered find an equalizer, a narrow space with no way for them to come all at once or get behind you or at the very least get a wall behind you so they can't surround you.

Rap

And i fought alot.

This is how bored i am...ran two paths for uncollected...and seriously kabam? Level 1 revives and restores on chapter 5??? Wow you guys take the cake!
