    is the "death" bracket already full? i dont wanna end up there also icon_e_sad.gif

    593 of 1000.
    So, not even a little bit.
  • My daily reward today was 3 Health Packs. This is the first time I've ever been so excited to get those.
  • Ok at 45k, if anyone wants a hired gun let me know. Just for this event.
  • I'm at ~61k, #4 in my bracket, and I've flat out ignored three of the nodes. I'm also seeing 300+ level foes for the first time ever. I completely blame all the goon nodes, since on most of them you essentially have two choices: 1) come out with no damage or 2) EVERYBODY DIES!

    I went to sleep in 5th, woke up to find myself 135th icon_evil.gif

    At least I have time to grind a little more.

    I get that on the Daken/Bullseye/Commander node - either I get enough black fast enough to cast Trickery or everyone dies while I do no damage whatsoever. At least it's worked for me more times than it hasn't icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I got myself back up to 24th again with another selective pass - I skipped a few of the low point goon nodes - and I've still got enough health packs and points on the board to have a good crack at breaching the top 10 again when I make my last charge.

    I swear, that node is programmed to not have any black tiles. And then when I do get a match line up, hulk goes and uses one of them up icon_evil.gif (and dies before I can get 4 black matches)

    I always go for 5pink/5red first (if using mstorm), the board shakeup buys you enough time to collect enough AP for everything else. On that node, in particular I used falcon/lazyshieldbro and it was effective at lvl 330x earlier.

    Final 2 hours for this crazy PvE. Really hate this one. All the nodes have scaled to insane levels and are very much luck dependent. Since I started playing this game over 5 months ago, I have never seen essential nodes that become classified as Hard. Well, that is now no longer the case thanks to the craziness of this one PvE. And it will be a mad rush to the finish line thanks to there being no subs and purely nodes in main with rubberbanding strongly in play. See you guys over at the finish line.
  • I'm finding that I'm using Magneto for defensive purposes in the all goon battle because it takes too long to cast Magnetized Particles for 2200 damage when you can just match something for 2000 damage, and Magnetic Field has a good chance of destroying my own strike tiles and also takes a while to animate. I got one of my strike tiles upgraded to 700 I think and was shooting for 1000 but the enemy ran out of HP long before that.

    Yup, this one will be highly forgettable. I'm on the top of the leaderboard at the moment in my bracket at 62k. On my other half's phone, she is at 57k in her bracket.... in 250th place. icon_e_confused.gif

    You have Hard Nodes? I have Deadly Nodes.... in a PvE event.....Who the tinykitty thought this was a good idea?

    I have 4 non essentials nodes which are Deadly. If your essential nodes has hit Deadly levels, the game must think that you are Superman... oops wrong franchise of comics icon_eek.gif
