Had an incredibly hard time beating the hard sub, went through my whole roster, one dead guy after every match.
Did one full clear, no repeats, finished with 5 hours to go.
Fully expected to get trampled into the dirt by the usual Americans doing more than one clear in the final hours.
Woke up to a T10 placement. That was... unexpected. Guess "hard" was really hard, for everyone lol.
Probably not going to reach the Beast progression with my lowly 22k after the first set of subs but whatever, I'll live.0 -
5 Simulator tokens and all I have to show for it is this lousy Blue Doom. I did get my first cover max (psylocke) from a standard at least.0

If you reached 55K in the first subs there total will be 55 + 55*1.5 + 55*2.0 = 247K. As I said earlier base points increased by 50% between subs this time meaning the heavy grinders will be at the top progression reward by the end of these subs. Myself I rubber banded to 45K over the last 18H. As I am not going for top 2 I will do these subs over the last 12H hence taking the whole weekend of from PvE.0 -
why are people having trouble with Lthor? level 200 or 300 now I never have any problem, not even close call. all you need is OBW to keep him in check and nothing bad happens.
I was able to finish 1st in both sub which was a surprise, looks like lead holds as the difficulty was too high for most to speed run. even with half a day left I Was already limited to only 3 nodes (dino/deadpool/Nick fury) and even those I have to use sentry boosted to finish.
i imagine post nerf will make scoring even lower (unless many have a full blown x-force imo)
I forgot what score I finished at last night, but im already at 58k as of now after clearing all the nodes about 3 times0 -

Well, that depends on your roster, the board and cascades. If he gets a good cascade, bad for you, and manages to get enough yellow, the game could be over very quickly.
The one time I lost to him, it was a green and yellow heavy board and the stuff just kept pouring in. Not much you can do about that.0 -

i know what you mean, during the Lv212 dino level, even my boosted sentry/daken still loses if I run into a bad board.
anyways was able to beat L395 Lthor 2 out of 3 times so far. The one time he had a lucky cascade and wiped my ObW, and without her, pretty much game over0 -
MegaBoosted LDaken + Boosted Ares + Hood don't seem to mind 395 Thor too much...not easy mind you, but the job gets done as long as you can get to those green/yellow first.0

This event is finally making me see why a lot of people don't like PvE. This one is completely mind-numbing.0

I love pizza, but that doesn't mean I'd want to eat 100 slices every day for a week...0

I did a full clear of each sub on Thursday. Hit essentials, LT node, the DP node once or twice more sometime on Friday, then played whatever nodes I wanted at the last hour. Took 1st in easy, 2nd in hard, and it never felt like as much of a grind as either of the last couple PVEs. Given the nature of the Simulator (varied teams, no restricted rosters, new things to play against every 3 days and they're not the same Dark Avengers teams we always get), this one is usually one of my favorites provided there's not a new character released through it (think the last time they did that was Falcon).
I don't intend to sound harsh, but you might be doing too much grinding or playing "sub-optimally". PVE definitely is a place for "Play smarter, not harder."0 -

If these guys can do it, you can too! The Devil Dino team-up didn't hurt, either.
AP deny or steal. Definitely, Don't let him match yellow.0 -
FWIW, I don't think that the global leader is one person. Rubberbanding math means it makes more sense that it's a series or people grinding and leap-froging each other.0

wozers, was attampting another L395 thor with my ares/daken/obw no boost. can you believe it I went thru the entire match and could not find the last purple to steal . He kept taking them as if he knows I needed it. then a few lucky matches, he had 15 green which freaked me out. I had no choice but to unload all my skills. Ares green and daken's blue. thank fully there were like 10+ attack tiles on board so I was able to use chemical reaction twice for 6k+ dmg. Thank god for daken buff. walked away with another l395 TU0

It won't always match the color to prevent you, but it will almost always do it if you've done two of the same color matches in a row. Keep watch, and you'll see what I mean. Sneaky AI...0 -
Wiped 2 Teams on L395 Thor. Doesn't help that my only maxed 3*s are Patch and BP, and all the boosted ones are relatively low level.
Might have to use boosts for that one... His red does 5k!0 -

Got 2 event tokens on the end of first round. One was a Beast, so I tough, lucky me, I didn't have Beast!
Then proceed to the round 2 to see Daken is now essential, and I don't have one
So, any guess if the essential will rotate between those two, or all of the featured characters?0
