Required hero is on a solo mission

[Cerberus Shepard]

So i sent Doctor Strange off on a solo mission for captain marvel and he has mission on the mirror table that i cant access and the other 3 missions are kicking my ass no matter my lineup

the missions are:
Spidermaaans[civilian dies because i cant generate enough heroism to rescue them?]this mission is a ♥♥♥♥♥ for it as all other missions i don't have a single issue with generation]

Recover items[Flagged as hard and that shield bearer is a tool]

Kill everything[marked as casual but there's no frelling way this is a casual mission]

Strange mission[flagged as easy but cannot access because strange is occupied by being on a mission and being a pedantic ass-clown]

current level of team is 4-5

and of course i cant skip the day by resting in the bed because its not an option[use bed is greyed out and cannot be interacted with]??

now i admit this is MY fault for not checking the war mirror first

i have no other saves [partly [because i'm an idiot and partly because i have had zero issues so far with the fights]


Tried each mission[not strange] around 5 times each and none can be completed....am i going to have to restart the game because you cannot skip a day?? if so that's a stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ design

EDIT-UPDATE: Managed to clear the common mission today after two attempts with a crew of hunter/Blade/Marvel...Same crew i rolled last night that was decimated so no idea what the issue was thanks for all the responses and suggestions

I agree it's an oversight which needs fixing to enable sleep so a player can just pass time if they want to.

As for your problem right now in being able to continue, are you at story difficulty already or can you dial it down just to get through one mission?

already on story difficultly while i learn the game once i have a better understanding i would have restarted anyway....right now it feels too early to restart[a good sign imo]

If you can put the save up online somewhere then I'd be happy to try to load it (not sure if it'll work) and quickly run through whichever mission you want and post it back done straight after completion.

Not really sure what else to suggest beyond good luck for your next attempts if you choose to keep trying.

If you have issues with heroism generation, you could edit your decks for this mission so that you have slightly more generation cards than heroic cards. Also remember the redraw mechanic, it is available on every turn. Redraw some of those heroics and hope you get the +1 or +2's from your deck.

To quickly rescue the civilians you should also use "quick" heroism generating cards against the one hit goons or other enemies at low health since then you'll have generated heroism without expending any card plays. This enables you to easily spend a card play on rescuing a civilian.

You could change your daily routine at the Abbey to stop by the mirror table to see which missions are available and know which heroes can safely be sent on a hero op.

As for the battles: Use the game mechanics to your advantage and prioritize. And look for ways to exploit the environment. You get crazy damage from those if you keep leveling up your yard.

Have you upgraded your cards? (can you this early?)

Also, if you go back to the table and select another mission the cards you had for the other missions reset. As in, if you "restart the mission" you will get the same "seed" again, but if you reload the table I'm pretty sure it's different (I believe so anyway, cause I had to do it once and I finished the mission that time =)

it isn't an oversight. it is a player that sucks at playing and and then the player blames the game. just go to the mission table first in the morning to see what is available. then plan your card upgrades, your sparring, your deck load outs and hero ops accordingly. don't blame the game or devs in this regard when its clearly the player that is f'ing it up.

It's actually possible to lock yourself out of missions through injury plus hero ops. Your turn.

most of the tips here sound like stuff that OP doesnt have on level 5 heros. try to watch some lets play or streams maybe to learn a thing or two? if discord is an option find someone to help you while you stream the game?
I very much doubt that your ingame situation isnt solvable, its just a matter of knowledge and practice.

This is what i have done, most frustrating and poor gameplay. but yeah i always check the glass table now before anything else . Seems odd this didn't get picked up in testing or even thought about.

While very rude about it he does have a point....If you don't have all the heroes unlocked but heal people and put them in hero ops before you know if you have enough heroes left it's kind of your fault

I myself always check the table last but I also never had more than one injury at the time before I unlocked the yard-heal which could lock heroes. (nowadays I very rarely get injuries but when I do it's usually 2 at the time =)

still a problem created by the player and not the game. besides. injured heroes can still be taken on a mission if needed. and if you got many heroes injured then you just suck at the game and need to get better. which is still a player problem and not the game.

Getting locked out due to hero ops is also a player created a problem for not paying attention. If you go to the table and use your brain to plan ahead slightly you can avoid those issues really easy. Once again... a player created problem and not the game.

In short. people who get themselves locked due to those reasons you mentioned... At that point you're better of stop playing games altogether.

If the OP is stuck as a low lvl squad while playing at very low difficulties. Then clearly the only path to succeed is to get better at the strategic element. Which in this game isn't that hard. Just watch some Youtube vids. Use quick cards, with possible knockback, to take out most opponents while generating heroism. Then use that to make use of environment stuff to take down the stronger enemies. Not that difficult at this stage.

injured heros can go on missions though just not to hero ops? you can not lock yourself out forever unless you have the hero ops bug which should be fixed now. side missions are endless and you can just go on side missions until characters are back and healed.

Only time are if you put them in the "yard-healer" which is what I was trying to get through earlier =)

I think it's all well and good to blame the player but if you look at the placement of things and follow the natural flow of moving through the Abbey on a morning, it's very forseeable that people will do something like forge > anvil > hero ops > mission table. I do think not having some way round that is an oversight. There shouldn't be a softlock forcing going back to an earlier save for not following a precise order to things.
