Science feels slower. iAbom, RHulk, and SHulk are MVPs.
Tech - If you have Warlock then you're good to go. I don't have him so I have to use HBuster.
Cosmic - CMM is good, Corvus is slow.
Skill - I didn't have an option for the previous iteration so I used to ignore this one. I ranked up Mole Man for this one and he's doing fine.
Mutant - The Biohazard feels more fun. Pretty okay for any mutant.
Mystic - If you have ranked up Sasquatch (for defense for example) then prepare to see 200-300k SP2s.

I thought this month is gonna be a grind but it's almost the same. A little bit slower maybe.

Great! I ranked my 6* Angela up to r2 because I finally found a use for her with the Buffed up node and the dev notes seem to indicate they weren’t changing those but by taking away buffed up that’s exactly what they did... Thanks Kabam! Now we can get back to using all the same old standard champs we use everywhere else... That’s what made Cavalier difficulty fun is being able to use champs we don’t always use and the buffs turned them into beasts..

I appreciate that this was announced “early” but some roadmap-style guidance would be great. At least assure the player base that the 4-star cavalier quest will happen every 2-3 months. If we know that, we’ll feel better about investing. Alternatively, drop some 4-star rankup gems in the monthly objectives.

Having finished the mystic quest 100% on two accounts, I’ll retract my earlier observation. That annoying issue with unstoppable still triggering while staggered/nullified is happening with sym supreme as well as other champs like voodoo that I also tried.

The whole point of cavalier is to explore the options of champions that can work with these nodes. It kinda requires a more developed roster as no one champ can counter each class node. I do kinda wish the rewards were a bit better. No drastic change but maybe a slight bump for all the time spent on cavalier. Regardless, I hope March is as good as February was, if not better.

I haven’t particularly enjoyed this month’s Cav.
Struggling to see how the changes have made it any less time consuming.

I do not enjoy this month Cavalier difficulty as it takes longer time to finish a path. It also need a set of new rank up champs to take advantage of the node. Even if you have the right champs, you are not able to complete it in a shorter time than the previous nodes.

Took about the same time for me. Not too big an issue. Gladly welcomed the change of nodes. The old ones were getting monotonous.

Top priority to adjust in next month
Skill - cmon, get in bleed
Mystiq - throw away that unstop stun immun
And science one if using 4 stars, that weakness debuff is so annoying and getting much2 slower to finish without right champ
Kabam need to rework this global to make it faster, not time consuming and more frustasting

Mutant, tech and cosmic are not big problem, altough cosmic % armor break need to higher chances to get the fury

@xNig Where weaponx
In his diapers.😏
where gameplay tho

Not gonna rank him up yet though. Just brought my AA to R2 so saving up my T5B for his R3, already have the T5C.

(I don’t post videos usually nor am I a Youtuber 😂)

Man just fully explored the skill quest and that new skill node is just TERRIBLE. If it wasn't for my Killmonger, I might have just said screw the cavalier event quest this month. The old one was so much easier and faster to use. This one is kinda niche and annoying.

I'm trying to finish off the Skill quest but the node is broken for me. I am using Killmonger with true strike but not getting any furies at all. It has been broke since I updated to latest version.

edit: It doesn't work either when incinerate, shock or Disorient are placed on the defender. Only been an issue since I updated.
