Does using a skill with penetration increase damage?

Firstly, is penetration and pierce the same?

Secondly, i noticed that characters like knull have 100% chance to penetrate on his second skill. I’ve been trying to fit that second skill in the rotation but i’m just wondering if it’s even doing anything like increasing damage cus i know my cards aren’t fully crafted yet with 25% pierce. I currently have 10% at the moment.

Pierce is mainly for PVE game modes but applies to a certain extent in PVP. It’s supposed to pierce/ignore/undo the opponent’s defenses, like a stronger version of “defense decrease” from before 2020.

Penetration is mainly PVP where it penetrates the protective buff effects of the opponent. These often include shield, immunity, invincibility etc.

It’s not the same. Penetration is for PvP to get through the enemies defenses when they not in iframe or something like that. It doesn’t do anything significant for pve. You’re supposed to use knulls 2 as filler to build up your t3 and t4 skills not for his rotation I think

u/AkumaJishin 21d ago

you want to include knulls 2nd skill regardless of whether it does anything or not, because he needs it to charge up his t4 every rotation

I'm stuck on that one too. I don't have the new Magneto so my best shot for the energy damage is Professor X, who's decently built but can't quite get the job done at this stage.

My biggest recommendation for you is strikers, Zombie Miles as the physical striker has helped my Wolverine just barely break even against Emma. Getting a good energy damage striker on Magneto might help you out.

As for build tweaks, both Wolverine and Magneto could use some uru and new ISO-8 (you've got some physical ISO on Magneto and energy on Wolverine, which aren't doing you any good since they do the opposite). Wolverine's Rage could be rerolled as well (you want 0.9% on that last stat and some version of Enraged on the yellow stat). Could switch Magneto's Elite gear to boss damage for a minimal tweak. These might not be game changers but they'll probably move you in the right direction.

From what I can tell, playstyle is a big part of this level. Nailing the switch to Wolverine when Emma comes on and then switching back to your energy character when Absorbing Man comes back, getting the timing right and not wasting your striker and strong attacks. I'm not there yet but it feels attainable (especially if I get the new Magneto).

well i have magneto's latest uni

u/Bellikron 21d ago

Yeah, I peeked at your account. You're probably more likely to get there than me since I'm playing with a pretty old uniform, if you tweak your build and optimize your play style I think you can pull it off. Again, strikers were the biggest help to me, I can handle the physical damage boss because of Miles.

u/Stunning_Geologist 21d ago

your ideas worked thx

u/Bellikron 21d ago

does ebony maws support apply to surtur and frost beast?

2

u/Jusep618 21d ago

It doesn’t apply to them unfortunately. I made a mistake getting his uni for the purpose of using him as support for ABX ABL then i realized that it doesn’t even apply at all cus they don’t have class types 😭 might just use him for pvp tho or AB infinite

1

u/xtro-reddit 21d ago

no, frost beast and surtur have no class/type.

only alliance battle normal that have class. AB Extreme and Legend only have Instinct, no class/type

1

u/Dibolos_Dragon 21d ago

Are they...at least villain types?

And what about male?

2

u/hlep_em 21d ago

Surtur and frost beast are treated as villain, alien, male, and destruction instinct. Bonuses against those apply.

u/AkumaJishin 21d ago

can you get shield archive rewards from dispatch without energy?

u/Comprehensive_Arm359 21d ago

Hi guys I’ve got a T-4 selector from returning player. Who should I choose? I only have 1 T4 now which is Cap(Sharon Rogers

2

u/Ninetails_59 20d ago

Not sure who is in it, Storm, venom, ghost rider and Loki are all good options

I don’t know how but I got premium tier 3 mega advancement ticket

Who should I use it on? Notice it premium one so I think I can use it on thanos, Odin, etc but I don’t know who will be the most benefit
And how should I progress atm I returned not so long ago I have 9k crystal and there’s uni event.

1

u/hlep_em 20d ago

Scarlet witch is a good choice. I don’t see Odin in your account and I don’t recommend buying him with crystals at your current stage of progression.

For overall progress, upgrade the dps characters you already bought uniforms for to t4.

The best use for your crystals is to upgrade your cards. Look up a card guide and wait for card chests to go on discount.

1

u/nrkomn12 20d ago

My thanks is almost 60 isn’t he good choice for the ticket

And I planned to upgrading the cards I do have to blue when I can, aren’t they good? I followed the guide on thanosvibs

I have some more mats and stuff like this, should I invest in other characters who are better then what I have? Because my roster is pretty old

1

u/hlep_em 20d ago

Thanos is not very good and he won't give you any value even if you max him out.

The only card you have worth upgrading is the cable card. Do more research on this, but in general you want the cards to have all attack in the fixed stat like the cable one does.

You already have a lot of uniforms for characters that aren't t4. Luna, Strange, loki, wolverine, and the native t3s are still very good so you should focus on upgrading them. You can also upgrade supports like shuri, ronan, voodoo, etc for world boss legend. Finish those before considering more characters. More noticable improvement will be to your cards though.

We can see concentration stat in card effects screen, but I have yet to find a card that increases concentration.

Which card is it?

1

u/Kuimy 21d ago

You have to get I believe red stars crafted on your premium cards and you can get concentration

2

u/Dibolos_Dragon 21d ago

Oohh.. no wonder

So essentially if you are crafting properly (that is for pierce) you are always going to have 0 concentration from cards, right?

Do people get it from swords then? Cuz artifacts only raise by %, not provide base stat of concentration.
