yes it is healing is one of the three basic pillars of mitigation in the game and has been since the beginning you resist the damage you avoid the damage you heal through the damage resistance defense healing

Not really the healing IS the mitigation you literally can bring someone back from the cusp of defeat with a single power usage. And can turn them into a beast with a couple of buffs theres very few things outside of 4-5 avs beating on someone an empath playing smart cant out heal

Ohai new friend you bring teh donuts?

just for clarities sake you only need to defeat the villains? do or do not need to defeat recluse last? and the only award other than bragging rights is the to provide a little context to the question I just beat it where the team defeated the villains but beat recluse first got the thing then did another run where we wiped out ALL the heroes and villains saving recluse for last but no badge or anything

Ill step up in defense of Empathy ive got an emp rad Lifeline and an emp energy Valkyrie MK X that can outright run with any team and be useful start to finish and ive literally carried a team through a couple of rough spots the combo of buffs and pure heals is matched only by pain which runs a similar variety of single target and aoe heals and buffs if I were to work empathy over a bit if make the some small qol changes Regen and recovery auras make them like force fields bubbles in how theyre distrbuted perhaps gettting teammates that are spread out a little add an absorb shield to heal other and healing aura might be a nice add on ill agree lets forts buff be team wide would be nice same with clear mind Absorb pain have it be something that for not healing you not only does a near 100% heal but also significantly boosts the heroes regen for a time all told Empathty is in my experience the strongest of the PURE healing builds it holds its own nicely the only thing empathy cant keep up with is stupid and if you run off and die on youre own thats on you you want heals stay within arms reach of the person putting them out

welcome to the best city in gaming for DFB its solid way to get to 12-16 but it doesnt really have any benefit past that and I honestly dont recommend it for newer players whove never played the game before theres SOOOO much to explore and missions to do that can get you up in level DFB is for after youve run a couple characters through the ranks Posi 1-2 and the other Freedom phalanx task forces are very high experience gainers with lots of rewards but takes some experience and can be fast paced even on casual kill all speeds I regularly run the 6 FP tasks forces and try to run them in a manner that teaches people how to run through them in a fun but efficient and smooth way so always feel free to ask questions and if needed ask if the group can slow down a bit or ask if someone like myself can run a tf where you can learn the ropes of it

to add a bit to Captain Fs explanation the various IO sets have bonuses they impart at each level so you may see boosts to health boost to endurance etc some of those boosts will be tiny small medium larger or very large and so on some of those bonuses will be unique such as the numinas regen recovery proc or the absorption proc so lets say you have 5 sets each of which has a Medium health boost and 3 of them have a small end boost the bonuses would look like this 5x medium Health boost 3x small end boost this build stays within the rule of 5 but if the same build had 6 medium health boosts you would NOT benefit from the 6th one and the build while still functional would be in violation of the rule of 5 so while building you need to keep aware of the various buffs you get from sets and make sure to plan accordingly now note that violating the rule of 5 is not a thing that shuts a build down it is just an inefficiency more than anything a build can still be functional and successful but its just short of a boost or two that a different cet could provide you if build differently

Ice Ice tank and an ice ice controller or defender the ice tank grabs a bunch of mobs brings them together hits EA and boosts their defense thrugh the ceiling theyre also protected by the ice armors boost to resist with the mobs stuck next to the tank by chilling aura and ice slick the controller locks them down and dumps snow strom and freezing rain on them mobs functionally can do NOTHING withoyut it taking an age and a day to recharge icicles and damage from the immobs just clear everything out over time the tank is essentially unstoppable and the ice controller is almost never touched

welcome victory

it has been reworked a bit the first three kill alls the maps are shorter on average and i think a couple of kill alls were removed reducing it down a few missions

heck I run Task Force Madness sometimes running posi 1-2 and synapse and yin back to back or running just the individuals or running Cit Manti and Numina all in a row the TFs are fun generally done in an hour or less each on a casual kill as we go speed and lots of fun so look me up on any of the shards and Ill run anyone through the TFs including katie hannon and Moonfire as well

Wishing everyone a warm safe and happy new years may the coming year be a good one for you we will not fall because we will rise above
