Gameplay Highlights & What to Build (PvE-centric)

Trepidation Raids: 5 main raid teams (Difficulty 8+ matters)

At higher Trepidation raid difficulties, nodes can require specific traits/tags, and the creator suggests you’ll typically rely on five teams once you reach Difficulty 8+.

The guidance is to:

• Prefer teams that stay broadly useful
• Avoid heavy investment in teams likely to be replaced soon

Recommended / discussed raid teams

• Hellfire Club

  • Suggested not to overbuild
  • Predicted to be replaced within the next couple of months

• Insidious 6

  • Strong approval: useful in Trepidation raids and other PvE modes
  • Also usable in Dark Dimension City (all City-tag)
  • Broad PvE usefulness due to Sinister 6 tag value

• Immortal Weapons

  • Expected to remain relevant for ~6+ months (based on the creator’s expectations)
  • Highlighted mechanic: onspawn safeguard / defense up and other onspawn buffs
  • Useful outside raids too

• Champions

  • The creator personally didn’t build them and regrets resource strain from catching up later
  • Overall stance: not a fan
  • Believes Insidious 6 and Immortal Weapons provide more value elsewhere
  • Caution: newer/mid-game players shouldn’t overinvest

• Amazing Avengers

  • Called out as extremely important because of heavy usage in:
    • Gear 21 grinding on Trepidation’s final nodes
    • The Scorpion Trial
    • Prior presence in relevant Kingo/Tower end-node progress
  • Also notes Mighty character relevance:
    • If you missed earlier access (e.g., Blade Tower), future availability may be limited/slow

Trials and Unlock Strategy (Don’t Overbuild for stars)

Silver Surfer Breaker (Age of Fear chapter 1)

The creator’s suggestions:

• Difficulty 1
  • Described as the easiest path for an early unlock
  • Minimal investment approach
  • No special requirements for their stated approach—use your best characters to clear all 10 nodes
• Higher difficulties (2+)
  • More restrictive than Difficulty 1

Key recommendation

• If you’re newer/mid-game and only want the unlock, invest minimally.
• Invest more only if you specifically want extra stars when the trial returns.

Best-team callout for certain higher-node difficulties

• Daring Warriors are described as “proven” for nodes 2, 6, and 10
• Suggested upgrade: using Storm Mighty instead of Daredevil to make it easier

When to build Daring Warriors

• Don’t “take them to the moon.”
• Build only enough for your desired Silver Surfer Breaker star target
• Outside this trial, they’re described as less optimal
  • Example given: not best vs Maestro in Battle World context
  • Still usable for some elite missions depending on alliance goals/difficulty

Scorpion Breaker (Age of Fear chapter 2)

General stance:

• Newer/mid-game players: do NOT build for it
• Endgame players: mostly enough to unlock, not full investment

How to approach Scorpion Breaker

• Difficulty 1 / one-node strategy
  • Still provides a useful reward tier (creator cites a 55 outcome)
• Since the trial returns multiple times, players can gather more over time without heavy investment

---

Kingo Tower (PvE hero collector-friendly)

The creator praises Kingo Tower’s structure as player-friendly.

• There are 4 difficulties:
  • Beginner, Normal, Hard, Omega
• Reward scaling is floor-based and separated by difficulty
  • This makes planning progression easier without maxing everything

Estimated caps described:

• Beginner: unlock around 33 Kingo by completing floors
• Normal: caps around 55
• Hard: caps around 65
• Omega: can reach up to 7★ to Diamond (as stated)

Resource / Progression Philosophy (Key Tip)

The creator’s central message: stop overbuilding for PvE.

For PvE priorities, you don’t need to:

• build everything to max

Instead, invest based on:

• how many stars you want
• what rewards you’re targeting (unlock vs maxing)
• your resource limits (especially for free-to-play and mid-game players)

The creator also argues that much PvE content can be cleared with minimal character counts, and that psychology often drives overbuilding.

---

TL;DR (Creator’s Takeaways)

• Put PvE resources into Trepidation raid teams—especially:
  • Insidious 6
  • Immortal Weapons
  • Amazing Avengers
• Avoid overbuilding:
  • Hellfire Club (likely replaced soon)
  • Champions (not highly rated beyond specific needs)
  • Scorpion Breaker (generally unlock-only)
• Use tower/trial difficulty tiers so you get what you want without maxing everything.
• Keep an eye on Fractured Dimension (multiple difficulties), which can be tackled using Amazing Avengers across different levels.
