Heroes and Heralds mode discussion thread

I feel like a massive retard for asking this, but how in the fuck do you enable the cards in training? I see where you can edit decks and the like, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to turn them on.

For fully completing heroes offline mode you get… absolutely nothing. I better get something for doing both because as it stands 36,000 points was NOT worth it. I didn’t even fight galactus and save the earth for fucks sake.

you get a good card out of it at least?

No, a title and some points, after reaching 100% on everything I already had 48% of the cards and some decent ones at that. But for actually doing it I didn’t get anything other than a title and 36,000 points, I didn’t even fight galactus which is super disappointing (not that it means anything, but come on! I’m the heroes! I’m supposed to be saving the earth from galactus!).

One thing though, I think the cards you acquire is determined by the cards you use, by the end I just used my most powerful cards so i could blast through the cpu and I just kept getting the same ones over and over. I’ve got 4 dazzler cards, 4 spider ham cards, 4 destroyer cards and 6 wasp cards.

Using Mephisto/FFF/Focker(Primary) and have only played 4 matches online but won all of them. I’m looking for the Akira/Wily/Fou Loo so I can just completely dominate in X Factor.

I got an idea for a good deck/team. Get a deck with crazy x-factor stats and crazy meter regeneration. Pick Storm/Sent/???. Spam Sent drones with Hail Storm super. With XF you should be doing crazy chip damage, and with the meter regain you should have enough to keep spamming it. Sent is just there for lockdown drone and the DHC. Not sure which cards will allow this but I know it’s out there.

Also HATE the parry cards. Almost lost to someone using X-23 just because of the parry. They weren’t even really parrying the attacks, they were parrying in blockstun messing all my stuff up.

Go to set abilities or whatever and highlight one of the cards in your preferred/practice deck and then exit back out. You should be prompted to reset the training mode

So with buffs with activation (ie. Bullseye - Increases Attack [Lv3] when you KO an opponent). Is that an increase for that character who got the KO or is that a buff for the whole team as soon as you get a KO?

Ok one more question. Sabertooth’s card says it allows you to “rapid cancel” your moves. What the hell is rapid cancel?

After two days of H&H, I really like the mode. The only thing that I dont like is the lack of creativity although Im not sure if it the players or Capcom’s fault. I feel as though I’ve faced only several types of teams bc they all rely on one thing:

Super armored - really annoying. Not sure what (if anything) was done to balance this but I’ve been using Vergil’s Round Trip and Dante’s Reverb to get rid of them. Random THCs also work surprisingly well if timed right:rofl:

Multiple Man teams - Mostly Phoenix although I did face one PW team. They all seem to suck after you kill their first Dark Phoenix except Serris’ team.

Hawkeye on point plus whatever card gives you hyper for connecting a hyper - I think this is actually a really smart idea bc Hawkeye is one of the few people who can connect a hyper into another hyper without assists or XF. The only problem is the only teams I faced like this both sucked with him and just kept going for random Gimlets.

5 bars at start - Most annoying team ever is when Trish is on point. They just back themselves into a corner and lay traps and zone you ALL day. She literally becomes a zoning team by herself. Unless you have a zoner that can rival her, you’re gonna end the match with a lot of salt. I also faced a Strider with this setup but he sucked at controlling Ourobouros so it was easy.

Invincible Dash - Would be good if people played someone like Magneto’s but so far it’s only been Chuns (lol), Wolvies, and Deadpool.

I’ve only faced a few teams that actually had a fun/challenging setup. One that I can remember is armored hulk with projectile invincibility who kept mash OS ground throw. It was fun tryna outrange him while also trying to actually hurt him

She-hulks :v::l: is rapid cancelable. It means that you can cancel it into itself xN. (I think. Unless i’m getting terms mixed up. But thats what it should be.)

I like this mode but it’s hella oversaturated with X-Factor Phoenix teams who teabag after. I feel like I have to run one myself to compete.

I don’t even feel salty when people taunt because I’m running such a scumbag set up.

Running Multiple Man Perma-XF Firebrand is pretty fun.

Colossus + Destroyer + Souki

Super armor covers your parry attempts so if you miss it, it’s ok, just try again lol. Souki for the damage boost after a Destroyer Parry.

Hunk + King Pin + Fou-Lu

Gain meter for parrying, get parries, the supers you do off the parries do more damage, and you get an extra X factor.

Servebot + Thanos + Iceman

You auto block and you get meter for push blocking so you can just stand there and push block all day till you feel comfortable, then go on the offensive with your meter you gained from turtling.

what exactly does ms marvel do?

I like this one the most. Would it be better to replace Iceman with Claire Redfield?

random character / random character / wesker

w/ Sakuya/Ryu/Punisher.

This team is hilairous

Probably gonna switch Ryu for a second punisher or something that increases speed as a non-primary when I get one.

Im using Firebrand Fou-Lu x2 and Multiple Man.
And I was recently on a 18 win streak. Wow my set-up is basically like some sort of punchout challenge or something.
Take out one Firebrand with X-factor, get another one with more meter and level 2 X-factor, take out him? Well now you have A Firebrand with more meter, Level 3 x-factor (two of them).

if parry wasnt the way it is do you think parrying would even be possible in the game with all the setups multi hitting normals and random supers you have to deal with?

apparently people want to correctly parry weskers super without mistakes. have fun.

i still have to get most of the cards but just to beat offline H&H mephisto/ princess/any rare card getting fodder or Dr Wiley.

mephisto makes my team kinda really fun to play as.
ulton(increase flight time and increase speed in air) makes me wish air movement was always that fast and anyone with fly is instantly the lamest thing ever,
i think morrigan/dorm/strange was perfect for heroes and heralds because they seem to work with a lot of cards.

im having fun just goofing around but gainin like 4% when beating a stage is lame. i only like finishing the bonus stages.

So I’m not the greatest player in the world, but holy hell am I losing a lot. Seems like everyone I meet has an 60-80% win rate. I haven’t gotten a lot of good cards (Watcher,Fou-Lou, etc) others are raving about yet, guess I need to do some more offline.

This mode is super fun (I’ve only been playing offline), but the one thing that gets me down is the hitstun nerf. I pop someone with the Z-Buster during a combo and they just shrug it off. :frowning:
