But buffed Ares is stronger than the better part of 3*s, with oBW and Daken's support you should be nigh unstoppable. Boost blue/purple if not having success.

That seems to keep me between 20-25 in the main; considering the difference between top 20 and top 50 is, I think, 500 ISO, not worrying about top 20. I need to lower my PVE mmr anyway, after all.

I'm sitting at #400 or so in the event so clearly I haven't done anything interesting in this event in terms of personal scaling. I have a 270 X Force, 250ish Nick Fury, and at least 10 level 166s. I strongly suspect it's the 270 X Force that's making everything about 60 levels higher than a close to max 166 roster. Not counting any past history modifier (those are impossible for any individual to calculate), assuming the level 270 is responsible for the added weight as it is the case in Gauntlet event, let's say levels are just added linearly so a 166 roster would have enemies in the 140 range, then going back to some data point I collected back in Gauntlet: My node 120/3* roster 100 My node 395/3* roster 315 Using this for a linear extrapolation for what a base level 180-190 for me would be for a max 3* roster I get (180-120)/(395-120) = 0.218 (% of level toward 395) 100 + (0.218)*(315-100) = 146.9 So a max 3* roster should face a level 147 opponent and this number looks surprisingly inline with the number reported by the guy with a 150 Daken (he doesn't even have a 166, so it should be even lower and it looks about the right ballpark). This also means for this event having a 270 X Force that's worth about a +33-43 level on all your opponents, which is why I"m really not motivated to play this game right now since as powerful as X Force is, he's not making up a total of +100-130 enemy levels.

I'm assuming your referring to me? I have a L158 Ldaken. which is my highest character follow by a L153 Sentry. Now the question begs will hitting L166 take me into a higher difficulty bracket. Clearly your L270 character did so it might be the same for L166 rosters.
