Some nice obelisks there sir.  Good write up

I've added new details and updated the table to include maximum bonus for each area for Level 60 characters.

So a couple of you have asked about Corvus and I figured I would lead off with him.  I will skip all of the bio info that a lot of these guides put up as you either know it or can look up a much more complete guide than I could give in this space.

Corvus can be one of the more frustrating World Boss characters to play against, thankfully, that frustration can aid you on your quest for Future Fight domination.

Why to Choose Corvus:  Summons, Durability, iframes, Invulnerability, decent damage, on attack striker, cooldown leadership ability, stun lock, extra life

Why to not chose Corvus:  relatively low hit points, not as damaging as other black order characters, one waste of a skill

While Corvus may not be a beastly damage dealer like some other Black Order characters( looking at Thanos, Super Giant and Proxima) he offers something they do not, amazing survivability and the ability to make a mistake without suffering too poorly.

Lets start by looking at his skills:

Boogeyman:  This is the first skill and it is 100% useless.  It does not do much damage, takes forever and has no control on it.  Don't waste points on it

Pain Wheel:  This is going to be one of your main damage dealers, Corvus jumps back (with a single iframe so good at interrupting attacks) and shoots off three waves of energy damage at the target.
Very good skill but be careful, you cannot cancel out of this skill and thus if you are not careful you can be left open to a fairly powerful counter attack.

Piercing Strike:  very good in all modes except World Boss.  Corvus lunges forward and stabs repeatedly at a target, stunning them for the duration and 3 seconds afterwards.  This is one of the things that makes Corvus potent in Timeline.

Deadly Charge:  here is the reason I chose Corvus, minions.  This summons about 6 corvus minions to attack.  This is a life saver in all modes as most AI only targets what is closest, leaving you to do damage from afar.

Peek-a-Boo:  Corvus leaps into the sky(iframe) and comes down three times, leaving craters in the ground.  he then has each of those crater;s spew out fire to strike those around it.  It has a fairly good range, tracks enemies fairly well, does both Physical and Energy damage, gives Corvus invulnerability for the 5 second duration and can be cancelled and still keep your immunity. In any match where you start out with all your skills available this is the first move.  Cancel out in between the second and third craters to summon minions.  The fire will still go off and you will be immune to damage for the summoning.  Beautiful.

Doppleganger:  Passive, if you die you come back with 100% health.  a thing of Beauty and is the other way that Corvus can survive a mistake on your part.  When you die you also come back with all of your skills available, so have at it.

Black Order General (Leadership)  up to 24% cooldown reduction, cannot complain.

Skill Rotation:  Not World Boss:
  You either want to begin with Peek-a-boo or piercing strike.  If it is timeline, it will be piercing strike in order to summon your guys in peace.  From there it is Peek-a-Boo, Pain Wheel and then either peek a boo or piering strike to get more minions when they disappear.

World Boss:  even Easier rotation:  Start with Peek-Aboo, cancel it after the second crater in order to still have invincibility to summon.  Summon then back away for Pain Wheel.  Repeat ad nauseum.  When you want to use co op attack make sure peek a boo is available to you in case he decides to use piercing strike or boogeyman as his attack.  As long as your are careful and stay away , this is an easy win on all days (with some more skill you might even be able to do ithanos, though your damage output will make it close.

Gear:  the first three gears are standard:  Physical Attack, All Defense, HP, the last is where it gets interesting.

I go with an even split between crit rate and damage.  With my cards,special gear, iso set and alliance bonus I have a crit rate of 57% and a crit damage of 154%, this is with only my weapon being at 20.
\Special Gear:  Crit rate +20.8%
                         Stun Resist
                        HP below 30%, 2 second invulnerable
 this is only a tier 3 obelisk and I am reticent to move it up as this is a great one for Corvus.

ISO Set:  Since I am only at 20% reduction from my cards I went with Smart Raccoon  at the level I have it and with the iso I have it gives me:

                   Physical Attack +164
                   All Attack +455(from iso) +8.5% from set
                   Energy Defense:  +445
                   Physical Defense +280
                   All Defense:  +8.5%
                   HP +432
                   Crit Rate:  +116,  +8.5%
                   Dodge:  +116
                   Crit Damage:  +8.5%
                   Cooldown Time 8.1%
The more I think about it, the more I realize Smart Raccoon may not be the best choice here.  Whenever I use Corvus, he is my leader.  Meaning I get his +24% boost.  Couple that with +20% from cards and then the +12% from the alliance and I am over the cap even before I count is the 8.1% I get from here.  Thankfully the other stats are very good on this set so I dont need to spend the insane amount of crystal to remove them.


So yeah, thats what I got on Corvus.  Will take suggestions for others

Awesome threads, I think I pick wrong strikers at times.  But still working on getting some of those to 6* so can use them.

Time for my Black Order teams:

Corvus Glaive (L), Hyperion, Black Bolt

Possible alternative:  Swap Hyperion for Spider-man for extra crit damage, dodge and attack speed, swap Hyperiod for lash for extra all attack and crit rate, Hyperion for black panther to get all attack and max hp.  I usually dont do this as Hyperion is a useful oh crap button if you get in trouble.

Hyperion and Black Bolt are only there because of team up bonuses, there may be better ones, and you could always throw ronin in as team lead, but Corvus' cooldown reduction leadership skill is my favorite.
The overall strategy is always the same. Hit your 6 star skill to get immunity so you can send in the clones.  Then alternate between 6 star and wave attack for more consistant damae, possibly throwing in his jab attack if you know the bosses attack patterns and are safe to do so.

vs. Proxima Midnight: spousal abuse.  No difference to main attack plan.  Usually your minions will get caught in the lightning stun leaving you free to attack.
vs. Black Dwarf:  normally i would avoid the physical here, but Corvus has some energy attacks and can do good damage, a little slwoer win here but should still be within 2 minutes.  Make sure you switch out when the red circle appears during his shield part as you do not want to waste a Corvus life on this
vs. Corvus Glaive:  mirror battle, no worries, hardest part is knowing which craters are yours and thus safe, and which are not.
vs. Super Giant:  total destruction.. Just avoid the normal pitful and you are fine
vs. Ebony Maw:  as normal, just wait for him to use an iframe attack before you launch your 6 star or wave attack (but especially your 6 star) use some good strikers and boom
vs. Thanos:  the hardest part about this battle is getting your clones out and then far enough away so that Thanos' dispel hits them (which does nothing to them) instead of you.

WarWolf (Leader), Daisy, Proxima Midnight

possible swaps:  on Corvus/Thanos days I will swap Proxie in as leader, and sub Captain America in for War Wolf to really abuse the ignore dodge that Proxie's leadership gives.
This is my team overkill.  There are plenty of other people who could use the WW/Daisy combo, but I like having one team just be complete overkill and Proxie is usually the person for that.  Activate WW six star, swap to Daisy (costume is a must) use her buff, then swap to Proxie and watch the world burn.  I have had bosses that a single rotation of this kills them completely.  If not you can either decide to keep it up with Proxie, or swap to Daisy, wait for proxie to be ready again then buff and swap.  If it is against a particularly high damage boss, swap to WW, then when proxie is ready Daisy then roxie and repeat.  Very few bosses can survive this onslaught twice.  Mostly you use Proxie's 5 and 6 star but can use the two other throw attacks in order to get some distance.

vs. Proxima Midnight: standard strategy, dead
vs. Black Dwarf:  Standard strategy but note.  After your first attack he may run to switch forms, if you immediately jumped to your 5 star you will waste the attack.  Same with a team up attack
vs. Corvus Glaive: spousal abuse part 2.  I wish I could use WW as a leader here due to Corvus having 3 forms which would be below 30% health, would be an easy cheat.  Anyway, with the swap from above this is an easy fight, i will often not use ww/daisy on the first form and just kill it with proxie quick as the daisy ww combo into proxie can kill one of his forms dead with one 6 star attack
vs. Super Giant:  Just be careful when she puts up her energy shield, you will probably not be able to break it, just swap to someone expendable in case your timing is poor and kill away.
vs. Ebony Maw:  as usual, wait for ebony to use an iframe, one daisy powered 6 star will wipe out 1 or 2 stages of ebony
vs. Thanos:  as you can see, WW is useless here, his buff just does not work.  If you ahve very high crit rate and damage you might consider keeping him in due to Thanos having high health therefore the leadership skill will be useful for awhile.  be careful with your daisy buff as Thanos will strip it.
