New today: Manticore & Sister Psyche's wedding

[MsAligned]

very annoying, with 1 min 20 seconds on the timer, team got kicked and Failed mission notice appeared.  Back Alley Brawler, about 1/4 health remaining, was the last hero standing and all villains down, but got my little pony, so sort of a win.

 

I found if I don't  use Barrier, all of the audience dies, turns into  just me Sister and Manti to finish.

The only way to get all signatures on one run is a Chaos Spiel.

 

Otherwise, it's three per run, but it will pick from the most needed for your team.   So at most, it will be five runs from scratch.  (2 Blue to get the Red Sigs, 3 Red to get the Blue Sigs)

 

For targetting, I you can use a targetting macro, but I tend to do some AOEs to tag them.

I think I haven't run enough times on the same character, which explains why I can't find the others to tag 🙂 Thank you!

Yep, you hit the bug. If all the AVs die then the mission completes, but at least you got the reward.

And you can talk to the ushers to find out who you haven't "chatted" with

Can the Cupid's Crush set be "catalyzed"?

They're meant to be similar to Overwhelming Force which is another set that can not be made Superior.   (So, I doubt it.  We'll see how your question is answered in dev diary)

Oh, huh. Didn't expect to see you here.

 

I can't believe Black Scorpion doesn't hate Synapse for reprogramming his favorite robot!

The sets' conversion Cupid's Crush <-> Overwhelming Force is a nice addition as a relatively inexpensive way (once the event ends) to get access to the new set.

 

I often use the "Universal Damage" set as a place-holder in (attack) powers that will eventually hold Purple set pieces in the level 50-build; I find the set bonuses from Cupid's Crush to be more appealing than those of Overwhelming Force. Aside from the Damage/%KD/KB->KD piece from O-Force, I generally don't keep pieces from that set in any build (I may have used Endurance/Recharge somewhere)... I don't yet know if I'll change my opinion with Cupid's Crush.

We'll be moving Sigil, Kadabra Kill, and the Ouro crystal down to the main floor in Pocket D on *Friday with a fix patch, which should alleviate things.

 

Will that patch include the fix for Heroes/Vigilantes running the Chaos Spiel version?

Yes, the fix for that bug should be in the next patch as well.

One wedding run and boom 3 accolades. Guess this character was pretty close on em.

General advice to take out specific mobs which buff/support/heals to speed things up.

 

There are three villains that drop triage beacon and at least one shield gen. Good news is that they have weak healers, Fallen something is the primary healer.

 

Generally, fighting against the heroes is harder. As they have multiple good support sets. Ether needs to die quickly as she has both a single and AOE heal which she uses often. Holo man can really mess things up, because his phantom army will distract a lot of villains. This causes a lot of them to die or worse tie up one of the AVs, which leads to a lot of villains dying.

 

In general once any mob uses it's T9, unless you're doing psi damage just ignore them and let the AV/Heroes take them out.

 

I guess I should create a guide.

I know that when I play my "villain " (I'll be turning them back hero in a week or so.  Just waiting out a badge right now), I make sure to set my sights on Holo Man right after I open the chat window with Positron but before I make a selection so as soon as the cutscene finishes I can open up on him.

For me it's Dr. Advance with the gravity and singularity.   Ether and Holo Man.  Flambuex is another because she has a heal.

Is the "special gift" just that stupid horse pet thing?

[DoctorDitko]

Spoiler much?

 

There's also the accomplishment of defeating a stupid number of signature heroes in a really, really tough fight.

(Yeah, I know. That and five dollars gets me a cup of coffee.)

Well, if you stopped buying at Starbucks, you could get more coffee cheaper...

[DoctorDitko]

Starbuck's isn't worth it even for free. They burn their beans!

I'd sooner have 7-11 coffee than Starbuck's!

 

(But, seriously, my own aeropress makes the best coffee!)

The best coffee is, by definition, the cup that's hot and in my hand.

[DoctorDitko]

True!

Seriously, though, try an Aeropress. They're less than $30 and make the best coffee you've ever tasted.

I had one that last 15 years and bought a new one right after the old one broke.  They're great.

Yeah.  Flambeaux not so much, but the other two, along with Holo Man, are public enemies 1, 2, and 3 when I am fighting the heroes.

Edit:  And I have begun to target whichever of those is furthest from the villain army, because the closer they are to the villains the more likely they are to be severely damaged, if not KOed, after the first volley.  So if Ether is hiding towards the far side of the hero formation then I might target her.  If it's Holo Man then he gets it.  Usually one of those two is far enough away to make them my first target, but if they both end up close then Dr. Advance gets it.

And for my hero, I usually target one of Misadventure, Mongle, or Savage Siren.
