    I don't have any 3* maxed villains, but it's still fun. Lil Daken, Bullseye, and Ares is a pretty trollriffic 2* team. I get passed up for retals because people know it's going to be a long slog and it's gonna cost you a healthpack.

    Have people been playing this? Is it as unfun as super buffed hood/daken/sentry/cMags sounds? Or does playing with your own super buffed guys make up for it?
    So far, it's like pulling wings off a butterfly... depends how much you like that kinda thing...

    Its still better than 2+ featured, even without 3* powerhouse villians. icon_e_smile.gif

    It has been fun, even if the best teams in the high MMR land can only include 4 characters and guest star Ares (444 damage for a single green AP ouch). I just enjoy every opportunity to run Hood/Mags with no forced 3rd (4000 damage on a critical yellow 5-match woooo).
    Magneto/Daken while not synergizing well on blue can push nicely. I was able to push to 850~ with mostly Magneto/Hood/Daken before running out of worthy targets.

    Pro-tip to Sentry teams: do not use Ragnarok, Ragnarok defeats the purpose of Sentry on defense. 2* Daken or Bullseye or Loki would be better, honestly.

    For sustained push in this event use Bullseye with your Daken and Sentry.
    Get a Pink match in, and you are not taking damage. Especially with about half the AI characters being affected by the Base level bug on defense.

    Maxed Bullseye, where do I find one? icon_redface.gif
    And no, protect tiles don't affect self-damage (hello, Sacrifice, hello, World Rupture, hello, Heat).

    One of these is not like the others...


    A protect tile won't help you with Sacrifice or Healing And Heat but WILL help you with World Rupture.

    On lower levels of WR, it reduces damage to 1 per hit.

    As a 2* roster player, I'm finding that this event is an excellent time to troll the prologue for Devour and Symbiote Snare TU, especially since we can delete the unwanted ones now. Alternatively, troll Venom levels where he's higher level than max for really strong Devour TU.

    Hood/mags/Daken has no green user and I gotta say I'm really enjoying one-shotting sentry, hulk, and rags from full health with an approximately INFINITE DAMAGE onslaught teamup after I've killed the other two opponents

    Then it's bugged just like everything about Sentry since protect tiles are not supposed to reduce self-damage.

    Running soft capped Sentry, CMags and Hood/Ares and while I literally can only play a match at a time, I am enjoying this one as well. I don't expect to place as high as usual due to not having a usable Laken or other villains, but I am getting a twisted happiness out of watching Sentry straight up kill everyone on the board icon_lol.gif

    That's what health packs are for, right?

    It's been fun but painful. This event has been a health pack eater. Bringing Spidey, She Hulk, or OBW to a match is a no go, so one hit from a maxed Ares or Moonstone's Photon Blast is major pain and a guaranteed health pack.

    I'm mixing up Ares, Laken, CMags and Hood and it's working pretty well so far. The only downside is Mags tanks a lot of colours so he needs a healthpack every second or third game.

    Maybe you're talking about two different things? My guess is Teke184 is referring to protect tiles reducing the damage per hit of an enemy Sentry's World Rupture. And yes locked, World Rupture self-damage from your own Sentry is unaffected by protect tiles.

    Just noticed something a little strange: maxed Ares is level 187 in this event. He was level 93.5 all along, and I didn't know it until now
    hmm, only ares is lvl 187 ? Any idea how about moonstone ? I guess there isn't any other lvl 94 2* villain already ?

    I am hating this event.
    During classical pvp, I struggle against 166 CMag in 90% of my opponents, while I have only Punisher and LThor as maxed 3*. My best villains are a 104 Hood (5/1/3, nearly no AP steal) and 89 CMag (2/5/0, easy target). I do not want to put my iso on useless 3/4 Ragnarock and 5/3 loki, as they will be useless for the other events.

    When buffed during this event, the best character is Hood, level 200+. What can I do when 90% of my opponents have a levels 332 CMag and Hood? spend tons of iso on the skip tax, only to search for opponents with levels "only" between 200 and 250. And event if they are worth 15 points, I have no other choice.

    For what result? 150 points, a lot of dead characters and health packs gone..... It is really not worth it.

    But on the bright side, I do not seem to be the only one. Less than a day before the end, I am just outside top 100 (#110 I think) with less than 150 points!

    Huh, I forgot about Moonstone. I didn't notice her since I don't have her at max level (and why would I? icon_rolleyes.gif)

    lolx.. i also nearly forget her when u mentioned ares. Well, i didn't level moonstone as well. Maybe she is like this also. as in the buff for 2* may not be exactly 2 times, maybe 1.9x times, but 3* 166 chars are of 332. Well......

    Enjoying this one so far. Being in the middle of the long transition from 2 ---> 3 makes it a little difficult, but Ares/Daken/Doom has proven to be a pretty good team so far. 5th in my bracket currently, but I know that the level 332 teams are coming in the final day, and I'll probably get absolutely destroyed. Still fun while it's lasted.
