They really need to stop offering 3 random 3*s that have no synergy whatsoever and yet still scale enemies as if they're part of a good team if any of them happens to be 166. You can't scale enemies to Falcon at level 166 if your roster includes nobody that can make use of Falcon's strength. In this example pretty much all 3 3*s have a primary green attack and not much else so you'd be woefully undercovered in all the other colors if you tried to use all 3 of them at the same time.

Pretty sure that the D3 office has a dart board set up that they use for choosing boosted characters. It works well enough for normal events, but Heroics are a bit more...well evil?

The 2*s will be Astonishing Wolverine, Ares, 2* Thor, and Juggernaut as the only 1*. In all seriousness, I wonder if they're trying to determine the floor on participation. This is pretty much a worst-case scenario - event people hate, covers that have been given out a ton, and other, more interesting (rewards), time-consuming PVP.

It's got to have an evil dart board because it has to take some effort to ensure you didn't select any other 3* that had a special tile when you included Falcon as one of your 3*s, or this version where all 3 3*s are primary green attack.

Bowgentle wrote: I dunno, after they gave us that one heroic where we had boosted DD vs mostly goon nodes, and the one where Bagman was boosted, I don't really gripe about the roster selection anymore. You got GSBW as a damage dealer, you got MBW as a (kinda, sorta) stunner, you got Cap to deal with CD tiles, Mororo for board shakeup, Hawkeye for some lucky stuff, 2* Thor if you are a transitioner, IM35 for starters, and Beast for nobody at all. Sure there's no synergy, but whatever. I've seen worse rosters for Heroics. Just let the people with low scaling have fun and grab the prizes (and ruin their scaling once they level their guys), play this on the last day whenever you got health packs to spare, grab some double ISO nodes and ignore it otherwise since the prizes are ****. No big deal.
