I gave up on farming for cp's i would rather have progress thru the story and get gold from xping my agent.

I got Havok last night before I went to bed. First thing I'm noticing is that he's a glass jaw class that stupidly has a protection passive. Who told Alex he could protect people?! Gah. I also got Psylocke yesterday too and already push her to level 6 and I'm liking her usefulness in battle. She compliments pretty much every hero as far as a support character goes, which is always a plus and how I feel all telepaths should be (Emma does, Jean does now with her rebirth thing, hopefully Cable's a good support)

I did use a bit of Gold I had bought earlier, but I regret nothing.

Congrats on the new acquisitions, fellas.

I'm not sure if I posted this here, but I snagged Magneto yesterday as well! Huzzah!

I have 27 lockboxes left and I'm unsure which method of opening them will yield the most CP...

Congrats! I feel so left out of this Magneto business. i still have only 5 lockboxes and had for the last 3 days, the roullette being evil with me. I'll see if the four star mission gives me something to work with.

upon further testing the new armory

raises my offense and defense by roughly 15k today, went up about 1500 hit points(cant tell rest on a glance)

Congrats on Magneto!

I've been opening the boxes 1 or 2 every day and have got a few huge CP rewards and unique weapons, so I'll keep doing it that way.

Gah! 5000 points away from 4 starring Special Ops... Grr. Now I have to save up more ISOs. Oh well. It will help level up some of my characters so I will be positive about it.

I don't get how everyone seems to be having such great luck with the lockboxes. I still haven't collected more than 4 covers.

**Sonofspam** · 02-14-2013, 03:16 PM

So whats the low down on Mags? what can he do?

Even though you don't have him, you can still check out what his powers do on his Recruit page.

In practice, each of his abilities save for his L1 include a cooldown, and I haven't really gotten into the best rhythm of using him yet. Against a gaggle of blasters he has the easy 1-Round stun of his L1+L2 combo, and can easily Magnetize everyone. With only one Blaster, it can be about spamming his L1 for a round or two to prevent crits and dodges and then nailing the enemy with his L6 for increased damage.

However I think the overall rhythm of him is probably best as:

Round One: L1 on Blaster, L9 on another character to take them out of the fight
Round Two: L2 on Blaster for a stun, L1 on third character
Round Three: L1 on Blaster, L6 on all (extra damage on 2 of 3)
Round Four: Blaster is probably dead, L1 or L9 on remaining trouble-character
Round Five: L2 on non-L9 character for stun
Round Six: L1 or L6 to KO

PS: Prepare for the Magneto+Invisible Woman PVP teams. Is Emma the only one who can do anything about that? At least they wised up and gave Mag's cage ability a cooldown to eliminate the perma-caging (necessarily, since as a Tactician he can do more damage while perma-juggling than IW can if he faces a Blaster).

PPS: Holy crap do Psylocke's coordination powers proc a lot in PVE. Every attack gets an assist!
