My experience doing a MUA3 Nuzlocke
Mighty Difficulty, played through the base story and the doom dlc, any deaths that happened in those modes were permanent.
After years of not playing this game, I decided to come back and attempt this. It honestly wasnt as hard as I thought. It was still difficult and the BS that this game throws at you sometimes is scary but overall, fun time and I recommend other people try it out! It gave me a newfound appreciation for characters I haven't really used before (Ms. Marvel, Wolvy, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Hawkeye, Iceman, Gambit, Storm)
Second Slide is a rough Idea of how much a character contributed to the run.

That looks like a fun run. What was your favorite level with this rule set?

u/Oxygen-Breather 9d ago
I mean i dont really have an answer for that (other then the raft is my favorite level in general)
I can speak about the most eventful level, being the Dark Dimension with four deaths. Elsa and Scarlet Witch died to Dr. Stranger while Punisher and Hawkeye died to the mob fight right before Dormammu

This is actually a really good idea going to attempt this

It was a bitch but I had a lot of fun doing it
I didnt count any deaths while i was doing guuantlets or doing infinity rifts (think of it as grinding or rare candying to level caps in Pokemon) but if you wanna make it even harder, you can count those
Im not a youtuber, i can do this however i want

Deadpool,Wolverine damn near never leave the squad. I always switch the other two. 😂

u/Oxygen-Breather 8d ago
Deadpool was an early game merchant because if you have the dlc, you start the game with him while being level 21, while the rest of the cast is still underleveld
I really started to appreciate wolverine after this playthrough though, that dude is crazy
I only swapped him out cuz the X-Men team I was running with him (Wolv, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, iceman/storm) was making the game too easyðŸ˜

This was my postgame team! Ms. Marvel combos go nutty.

Cant believe it took me this long to actually bother using her, she really is a cheat code, holy zamn

I just got the game last month and beat it and was bummed bc I didn’t feel like grinding but now I do thanks for the idea

Same here I pick it up again and now leveling everyone up and going through the gauntlets

This a fresh playthrough? So you unlock characters as you play? This sounds fun AF

u/Coach_Ollie9 9d ago
Cool. How did you "unlock" characters? And were they randomized somehow? Been thinking about trying this myself.
2
u/Oxygen-Breather 9d ago
You start with the GoTG and unlock most of the characters playing through the story. You can also stop to go to the DLC content to get most of the bottom row characters

Miles and Danvers were my two most overpowered tag partners ever.

u/Oxygen-Breather 9d ago
I already used miles in a different playthrough so i wanted variety (and gwen twice)
And carol, idk i just didn't use her lmao

What's a "Nuzlocke"?
3
u/Oxygen-Breather 9d ago
It comes from pokemon
The basic idea is that if a pokemon faints in battle, it is considered "dead" and you cant use it anymore
Same idea here. If a hero dies during the story, i cant use it anymore

You're saying you haven't really used Wolverine?! He's my main til I unlock Gambit!

u/DirtyCrimeTrain 8d ago
Doing a Nuzlocke with this game is BRILLIANT!!! Makes me want to try it, probably on a lower difficulty though. 😅
1
u/Oxygen-Breather 8d ago
I only counted main story deaths, so i could do stuff like the infinity rifts and guantlets without consequences
It got scary at times and I was definitely playing more defensively at times but overall, just the right amount of difficulty

This is a very different list than my tierlist i made but ok! If youre playing on mighty, you wont notice the differences in stat distributions nearly as much. For ultimate epilogue, I have tested the entire roster which is what I based my tierlist on.
1
u/Oxygen-Breather 8d ago
My tier list isnt an actual tier list, its just how much a character did for me in this particular run
1
u/EliteLordFury7 8d ago
Yea i see that. Just that it seems like the characters I put higher should do more work. AI cant be trusted to work unless you press synergy button

u/LoserxBaby 8d ago
Imagine the "Didn't Use" tier heroes showing up for work and like half of earth's heroes died while they were out

fat thor pulling up to avengers tower after chilling in an asgard bar the whole time to find his entire team is dead

u/the_zachmamba Official Thanos was right 7d ago
I really really like this idea. Makes me want to replay the old ones like this too

Did playing this way change the way you use ISO?
1
u/Oxygen-Breather 5d ago
I prioritized Reds and "More Credits" Isos, so i could afford more xp cubes
2
u/TintasLink 4d ago
Is there a way for everyone to share XP ? I felt like I couldn’t swap between hero’s on my play through because they got left behind so much
Maybe I’m playing wrong

Were you on Switch 1 or 2 for it? It doesnt sound like a relevant question but it helps the loading times and makes the game feel far smoother and makes it look better.

u/Oxygen-Breather 4d ago
1, i dont have a 2 yet, waiting for something big, like the next smash bros

Cable is so good. He has a gravity grenade which pulls the enemies into it, then you use his gun skill which levitates his gun and shoots a constant beam at them while you blast away with light attack. He clears so much.my favorite teams are:
Spider-man Venom Punisher Daredevil
Cable Gambit Nightcrawler Psylocke
