MSF: Dark Dimension IV Walkthrough & Live Blog – Mission #7

Dark Dimension IV: Embrace Your Doom is the ultimate endgame content in Marvel Strike Force in 2021, and unfortunately I cannot begin fighting Mission #7 after completing the 6th mission after a full week of attacks. Not only is my team not an ideal team makeup for this game mode, for the next 3 boards I need non-Legendary Cosmic characters at Gear 15 and I currently have zero. Once I have characters to use, I am going to live blog my daily attempts as I look to defeat the Dark Dimension and and unlock Doctor Doom.

My Mission #7, Dark Dimension IV: Embrace Your Doom eligible characters:

Thanos – 140,701 power, 7 stars, 4 red – Gear 15 – Abilities 7-7-7-5 – Level 5 Fortifier
Minn-erva – 144,916 power, 7 stars, 6 red – Gear 15 – Abilities 7-7-7-5 – Level 5 Healer
Hela – 123,602 power, 7 stars, 4 red – Gear 15 – Abilities 7-7-7-5 – Level 4 Striker
Kestrel – 134,795 power, 7 stars, 5 red – Gear 15 – Abilities 7-7-7-5 – Level 4 Striker

Dark Dimension IV: Embrace Your Doom – Mission 7

04.10.21 – I cannot begin Mission #7, which features an Emma Frost boss with 15 enemies and 14.1m total health, as this mission requires non-Legendary Cosmic characters at Gear 15.

04.15.21 – I have added Thanos to the Gear 15 crew as my first non-Legendary, Cosmic character to become eligible for this battle. Minn-erva needs 2 pieces and both Black Bolt and Invisible Woman need 3 pieces each to join him. Meanwhile, I currently have two eligible City characters when that time comes – Spider-Man (Symbiote) and Punisher.

04.25.21 – I broke down and spent some money after the Falcon & the Winter Soldier event and have added a Gear 15 Minn-erva alongside Thanos for this board. I have Black Bolt one piece away and Invisible Woman 2 pieces away as well.

05.14.21 – This Kestrel event has me going all-in on her and the gear pieces needed for Kestrel worked very well with my roster. I was able to get her to Gear 15 today, but because two of my Cosmic characters are Legendary – Ebony Maw and Black Bolt – I am still on hold. Invisible Woman is one piece away but also Legendary, so my next only legit other options are Hela (3 pieces away) and Captain Marvel who needs all 6 pieces to get to Gear 15. This is going to take a while…

06.11.21 – FINALLY! Hela is my 4th eligible character and I finally can fight this battle. My 4-charcter team checks in at 544k for this battle against 15 enemies as Stryfe and Emma Frost have the super soldier serum and perform their ultimates each time. Early attacks are focused on Emma Frost, and while I get her to red health, the inability to stop Magneto from blinding my team kills the momentum. I still have 15 enemies to kill, but it’s just good to be fighting again!

06.12.21 –

06.13.21 – With 4.59 million health remaining across 7 enemies, I enter my 3rd day of battles and focus my attacks on Doctor Strange, killing him early. I revive Hela and get some hits in on the enemies, but they kill her again just before Minn-erva sets up the team with a health drain. Two attacks later just 3 enemies remain and I save X-23 until the end. I get the turns to revive Hela a second time and hold on for the win with all of my characters alive (barely). The reward is 300k gold and 10k Gold Orb Fragments.
