Stage 12. 1 Rank 4 BAM

Stage 13. 1 Rank 5 BAM

Stage 14. 100 Chaotic Norn Stones

Stage 15. 1 Rank 6 BAM

Why Shadowland is important:

If you can get to Stage 15 of Shadowland, the 1st time clear rewards from Shadowland will net you the BAM needed for 2/4 Rank 6 Black Antimatter that you need for one of the later quests. This saves you a lot of gold and BAM compared to making them from scratch (12,250,000 gold and 1,600 BAM through Shadowlands, vs. 22,000,000 gold and 3,200 R1 BAM if starting from scratch)

You still need 1,000 BAM and 4,375,000 gold for the 10 R3 BAM for a previous quest, but in total it's only 16,625,000 gold and 2,600 BAM needed total, down from 4,200 BAM and 26,375,000 gold if starting from scratch.

Additionally, getting to Stages 2 and 4 in Shadowland gets you a 4* and 5* rank up ticket that will help immensely when you need to rank up the hard to get Clea. Stages 3 and 5 give you a 4* and 5* mastery ticket, which also help when you have to bring her mastery to 5* in another quest.

Furthermore, the 125 chaos norn stones you receive in total are about 10% of what you need for a research quest that requires 1,200, so it’s a good way to speed that process along.

Every week, you can get up to 225 bio selectors through Shadowland (1x 60, 1x 75, 1x90). While you can’t use them on Clea or Satana, you will need to rank up 4 other characters to 4* and one to 5*, and these bios will help get that done quicker.

Ranking Them Up

Baron Mondo, Wong, Ancient One, Kaecilius, and Hellstorm are the easiest, since you can use any bio selectors on them. Shadowland bios is the easiest F2P option, but you can also supplement that with grinding their bios in their missions, aswell as all methods of gaining bios. For P2W, you can purchase their bio package in the store, or use bio type selectors also purchased through the store, as well as rank up tickets. However, i'd highly advise you to save rank up tickets for Clea and Satana. I go into more detail as to why after this, as well as in the specific quest descriptions for each character.

Satana has her own dark dimension rift, and you can easily grind out 10 bios in 1 day to unlock her. You get 6 bios for finishing the mission once, which makes getting the last 4 easy. After unlocking her, it's up to you whether you want to grind her bios, use subscription package bios, normal rank up tickets, or a mega rank up ticket. I HIGHLY recommend using rank up tickets on her, but ONLY if you have enough for her AFTERranking up Clea.

For Clea, it ties into the Dark Dimension rifts again. She's essentially the Gwenpool of the Dark Dimension missions. Chance to show up as a striker, and when she does, theres a chance to get her bios. Since you only get 10 daily runs, it'll take a few days and a good bit of debris to unlock her, and a LOOOOOOONG time to get enough bios to 5 * her.

Because of that, I prioritized Clea over Satana. Clea is simply just harder to rank up than Satana, so using the best options you have available will help you finish as quickly as you can. One option I strongly recommend you take advantage of is buying a Mega Rank Up Ticket for Clea, which is possible to do as a strict F2P player, or even just by spending a little money for Stark's Stash. If you really wanted to, you can afford 2 Mega Rank Up tickets for both Satana and Clea, saving a lot of hassle.

Getting Mega Rank Up Tickets

F2P route:

If you want to get a Mega Rank Up ticket, it'll take 45 days if strictly using F2P options, or 18 days if using Stark's Stash. I'm not including buying crystals directly.

For Strict F2P(45 Days to Complete)

25 a day from daily rewards, for 45 days, =1,125.

Vibranium Timeline Battle top 10%= 200 a week, for 6 weeks= 1,200.

Monthly login rewards= 100, 3 times a month=300.

2,625/2,600 crystals needed

1 Mega Rank Up Ticket w/Stark's Stash ($2-3 USD)(18 days to complete)

Stark's Stash= 200

75 a day from Stark's Stash, for 18 days = 1,550

25 a day from daily rewards, for 18 days=450.

Vibranium Timeline Battle top 10%= 200 a week, for 2 weeks= 400.

Monthly login rewards= 100, 2 times =200

2,600/2,600 crystals needed

2 Mega Rank Up Tickets (w/1 month Stark's Stash)(45 Days to Complete)

Stark's Stash= 200

75 a day from Stark's Stash, for 30 days = 2,450

25 a day from daily rewards, for 45 days=1,125.

Vibranium Timeline Battle top 10%= 200 a week, for 6 weeks= 1200.

Monthly login rewards= 100, 5 times =500

5,275/5,200 crystals needed

2 Mega Rank Up Tickets (w/2 months Stark's Stash)(37 Days to Complete)

Stark's Stash= 2 months, (200 flat each month)=400

75 a day from Stark's Stash, for 37 days = 2,775

25 a day from daily rewards, for 37 days=925.

Vibranium Timeline Battle top 10%= 200 a week, for 5 weeks= 1000.

Monthly login rewards= 100, 3 times =300

5,400/5,200 crystals needed

P2W Options

Hellstorm: Use bio selectors from Shadowland, or buy his bios package in the store.

Satana: Use subscription bios to unlock, then use normal/mega rank up ticket to rank up.

Clea: Use subscription bios to unlock, then use normal/mega rank up ticket to rank up.

Steps:

PSA: Since some of these quests require doing things with daily limits, I highly advise you not to do Daily, Special, Villain Siege, Memory, or Dark Dimension Missions, as well as Timeline Battles and the sending of Assembly Points, until you reach a quest that either requires it, or when you can not complete any more quests during that day. If you do any of the above prematurely, you might hinder your advancement by accident.

You can acquire these stones through various means in the game, such as certain Shadowland stages and World Boss rewards, as well as through store purchases.

If you can beat the World Boss missions 5 times a day for 6 days (not counting iThanos), you can earn from 250 to 450 Norn Stones of Chaos a week, depending on RNG.

In Shadowland, you can earn 20 Norn Stones of Chaos in Stage 1, 10 in stage 17, 15 in stage 18, 20 in stage 19, and 25 in stage 20, for a total possible of 90 a week. Of that, the 20 from Stage 1 is easily available to the majority of players.

Also, getting to stages 11 and 14 in Shadowland for the first time will earn you 125 Norn Stones of Chaos in total.

An advanced player should typically be able to earn about 350 Norn Stones of Chaos a week from Shadowland and World Bosses, as well as the 125 from finishing stages 11 and 14. If starting from scratch and grinding, it should be possible then to get enough stones in 3 weeks.

Reward: Dr. Strange 3* Mastery

Quest 27: Activating the Eye of Agamotto

[Research]Use Rank 3 Black Antimatter x10 to research the Eye of Agamotto. 

You will need 1,000 BAM and 4,375,000 gold to fuse 10 R3 BAM from scratch.

You can acquire BAM through various means in the game, such as certain Shadowland stages and World Boss rewards, as well as through store purchases.

If you can beat the World Boss missions 5 times a day for 6 days (not counting iThanos), you can earn from 750 to 1200 BAM a week, depending on RNG.

In Shadowland, you can earn 40 BAM in stage 17, 60 in stage 18, 80 in stage 19, and 100 in stage 20, for a total possible of 280 a week.

While getting to stages 9-11 in Shadowland for the first time will earn you 50 R1BAM, 1 R2BAM, and 1R3BAM, I recommend you save that for a future quest.

An advanced player should typically be able to earn the 1,000 BAM in one week or less, from scratch.

Reward: Dr. Strange 5* Rank Up

[Dark Dimension] Dark Advent, clear x1

Clear the mission once. Dr. Strange needed in team

Reward: Bio Selector x60. SAVE IT

Quest 33: Focused Strength

[Rank Up] Rank Up Satana to 5*

Bio selectors can’t be used on Satana. Therefore, your options are limited. However, the first time win bonus for her mission is 6 bios, so if you grind her mission, you can get her to 1*, then use rank up tickets on her. Alternatively, use the 20 bios from a subscription package to unlock, then use rank up tickets.

If you saved the 4* and 5* rank up ticket from the Shadowland 1st time clear rewards, getting her to 3* and using the tickets on her is a good F2P way to finish the quest. However, since it’s possible to get her bios through missions, unlike Clea, I’d save these two tickets for Clea, unless you have extra normal/mega rank up tickets to use on one or the other.

This is the absolute farthest you can get to in a day, since a previous quest requires you to do a Daily Mission.

Rewards: Bio Selector x70. SAVE IT

Quest 38: Demons Gaining Strength

[Rank Up] Rank Up Hellstorm to 5*. The quest says mastery, but it’s false. 

You should have a x70 and a x60 bio selector saved up from 2 previous quests. These will get him to 3. From there, you will need 180 more bios (20 more for 4, 160 for 4*) in order to finish the quest. If you don’t have any way to acquire those bios that day, this will most likely be your stopping point.

[Villian Siege] 3 Wins

Win 3 Villian Siege missions

Reward: Crystals, x50

Quest 40: Power of the Wand

[Research]Use Rank 6 Black Antimatter x4 to research the Wand of Watoomb. 

You will need 3,200 BAM and 22,000,000 gold to fuse 4 R6 BAM from scratch.

Recommended: You can use the Shadowland 1st time clear rewards to cut your needed BAM to 1,600 and gold to 12,250,000 gold, since you get one R6 BAM and the 1-5 BAM needed to create another one from it when you get up to stage 14 for the first time. An advanced player should typically be able to earn the 1,200 BAM for this in one week or less.

Scratch: You can acquire BAM through various means in the game, such as certain Shadowland stages and World Boss rewards, as well as through store purchases.

If you can beat the World Boss missions 5 times a day for 6 days (not counting iThanos), you can earn from 750 to 1200 BAM a week, depending on RNG.

In Shadowland, you can earn 40 BAM in stage 17, 60 in stage 18, 80 in stage 19, and 100 in stage 20, for a total possible of 280 a week.

An advanced player should typically be able to earn the 3,200 BAM needed to build from scratch in approximately 3-3 ½ weeks.

Reward: Dr. Strange 6* Rank Up

Quest 41: Rescuing the Princess

[Dark Dimension] Clear stages, x3

Clear a Dark Dimension mission 3 times. Dr. Strange needed in team

Reward: Clear Ticket x100

Quest 42: Clea Rescued

[Rank Up] Rank Up Clea to 5*

Bio selectors can’t be used on Clea. Furthermore, her bios can only be acquired through shifter rewards and subscription packages, so getting her to 5* is a challenge. I highly recommend you use the 20 bios from a subscription package to unlock her, then use rank up tickets.

If you saved the 4* and 5* rank up ticket from the Shadowland 1st time clear rewards, getting her to 3* and using the tickets on her is a good F2P way to finish the quest. Alternatively, a mega rank up ticket will help speed things up immensely.

[Mastery] Rank up Clea to 5* Mastery

Get her mastery to 5 by using 450 Norn Stones of Omnipotence (purple/universal). Alternatively, the Shadowland 1st time clear rewards for Stages 3 and 5 are 4* and 5*mastery tickets, which would mean you’d only need to use 180 Norn Stones of Omnipotence before using the tickets.

Reward: Dr. Strange lvl to 60
