I think it is funny to follow up the most desired character (by many, anyway) with probably the least desired 3*.

My only interest is the 40K progression reward. And as soon as I can figure out the math on how likely I am to get that with minimal effort, my interest will increase to that point or diminish into nothing.

Daredevil, Rags, and Loki all thank you for your support.

I'd pick at least Daredevil and Rags over Spidey, and Loki in certain situations.

Spidey's free protect tiles easily put him over Daredevil and Loki for me.

But those crotch kicks from Daredevil.

Oh, right, he does cause damage. I keep forgetting about that since his traps never go off for me.

What happened to that iso sale said the person who is a slave to this game (aka me)

Even ignoring the question of encouraging their recent behavior, ISO is the worst thing to spend real money on (except for maybe the pve boosts). Even on sale, the rate is absolutely horrendous.

Just get to 100 in these lighting rounds

They go off all the time for me. I use him as my anti-Juggernaut weapon in PVE.

If Juggernaut destroys the tile with Unstoppable Crash, does the trap still go off?

Spider-man rewards well this is going to be one easy PvE. Engaging Rubber band mode........

I'm not sure - it might. I know a match 4 that hits the tile by taking out the row does, but I can't remember if unstoppable crash does directly or not.

Unstoppable Crash disarms traps unfortunately. Anti-Juggernaut more like Bagdevil

He is really, really effective against Juggernaut. If I launch an Ambush it will usually take him out.

Is it more efficient to beat missions as frequently as possible, or to wait for them to re-charge?

Let them recharge. Beat them a few times before you go to bed or work or whatever, but the optimal way is fighting them every 2 hours 24 minutes.

When does the first sub end?

orionpeace

In 22 hours 35 minutes.

Oh. And I have done 2 complete clears with refreshes. Each clear was precisely 875 points.

When I started the second clear, I was ranked #187 in my sub. That does not bode well for RB.

I'm finding it hard to find the motivation to actually play this event past the Deadpool reward. Even then I'm finding it hard because I honestly dislike Deadpool. With the Spidey Rewards, I may not even have motivation for the next PvE either. Wish rewards was something like She-Hulk, Marvel, Falcon, or MoStorm again.

orionpeace

I'm with ya!

If it looks like I will have to grind the tinykitty out of this event to get to 40K, I'm out.

And it is looking that way.

Unknown

So 2000 person main brackets with no RB??? Better hope that I'm not one of the last ones in.

Wow, my first pass through on the sub and the last node is already above level 100 for IM35, cMags and a goon. Goon feed right into Armoured Assault and Magnetic Field, there were protect tiles everywhere. Didn't help that I had Punisher and Mohawk and the entire board was blue. Then AI finishes it off with World Rupture and Supernova. Completely wiped me and I don't think I really even hurt him.

Yeah, can I do this over and over again for the next 6 days, for Spidey and one Deadpool cover (if I can get there).

Sorry, that was just ridiculous. Hopefully the next board is friendlier than that and I might be able to play it.

Any sort of rubberbanding so far?

It doesn't look like it to me. Done two refreshes, first ranked in the 300's, second in the 200's with one just about to come up in the 100's and the points look to be about the same.
