Mirai

I don't really need to. I've done the missions enough times that I remember the problematic spots.

I've never changed the difficulty setting in all my years of playing CoH, and I don't intend to. For this challenge, I'm not using the AH at all, but that's just me. I made my own solo super group just so I can conveniently craft IOs and store salvage.

Radiant Cascade on Reunion (Energy/Energy Blaster) is up to 23 now, and no, she's not going to do that Dirge of Chaos arc. Too risky. Sometimes I get through that last fight easily, sometimes I get stomped by the ambushes.

Go to the top of a tall building. Jump off. Land on my feet, taking no damage. Walk around trainers and push heroes out of my way. Especially the big, tanky types. If they're AFK, maybe I can push them to the villain groups.

Radiant Cascade update #1: Reached level 15. I'm concentrating on the hero story arcs and badge missions. I've finally been able to afford a full set of DOs, so things are going good. I still have several story arcs from the lower teens to finish up,

I'm a solo player with a case of altitis. I do missions, focusing on story arcs, trying to do internal roleplaying as much as I can. No powerleveling, no farming. For some characters, I might occasionally turn off XP gain to get more missions in. I'm not interested in playing a character after hitting 50, outside of finishing up story arcs. I'm also an explorer type, so I like to go after badges, as long as they're not too much of a problem. (I'm not obsessive compulsive, so I don't mind missing a lot of badges.)

Given my experience with the game, I have to go risky. Energy/Energy blaster (Radiant Cascade on Reunion). No auction house at all. And of course the server promptly dies. It's not my fault!

Okay, I now have Cyberblossom, a Bots/Nature Mastermind. She's a mutant born with the ability to fly. And then things got very complicated.

I have a lot of characters, and a number of them have between 1 and 4 million. So in total, more than 10 million, but much less than 100 million.

Sure, my main could hang out there.

I rolled a mastermind with Robotics and Nature Affinity. Hmm. HMMM. I will have to consider this oddball combination.

Reduce AVs to EBs, EBs to bosses, and bosses to lieutenants on TFs when playing solo on the lowest difficulty level.

It still works fine for me, using a Kin/Regen scrapper, but I'm a casual player. I'm not sure how more hardcore players deal with incoming alpha strikes. I wouldn't recommend it for sentinels, since you don't get status effect protection until level 20 for some unfathomable reason.

Hah. I love sentinels. I prefer ranged attacks, and the reliable status effect protection is great. I'm okay with trading some damage output for damage protection. I now have a sentinel for each primary set. I'd like to get all of them to 50 eventually, doing story arcs solo.

I only have one level 50 character so far in Homecoming, and that one's on hold due to my severe altitis. I prefer the leveling process, but I'll probably continue playing level 50 characters now and then to do story arcs they missed. I have no real interest in the incarnate system. I tried that in the old game, and it didn't appeal to me.
