    Don't worry, nobody is using im35 effectively. He is still too weak and too expensive. The only method working is still get 12 blacktile.png or 19 greentile.png , repeat.

    In well over 50% of the games I'm forced to use Storm's black because the board dries up, but its not bad because its double dipping on the yellow strike tiles.

    You did not lose him. He's not useable in the event.
    Heroics are restricted to certain characters, and Thor isn't one of them this time.

    Who in this Heroic is giving you yellow strike tiles?

    BTW, if your GSBW is taking a break waiting for a healthpack, MNMags' purple can help fuel IM35's blue which is ... better than nothing?

    Oh, lol, true. My bad.

    But if I'm at 9 black with BP, there would be very few cases I think where I'd not wait for 3 more...

    I was playing the Goldilocks node and noticed something.

    Twin pistols takes 15 yellow and doesn't end the turn. Dormammu's aid steals everything. Intimidation takes 9 black and decreases all countdown timers.

    That means Hood is 5/5/5.

    Colour me inattentive, but I didn't think that was allowed for the opposition in PvE.

    (Waits for replies saying that's always been the case.)

    Pretty much all PvE opponents above a certain level are 5/5/5. Kind of annoying sometimes.

    Yeah, dunno about always but I've noticed 5/5/5 behavior before and I think it's been noted on the boards at some time or another. And it SUCKS.

    There were a few nodes in the Gauntlet that I noticed were like that too.

    You can always look at the characters to see, but it takes having an idea as to what changes between levels to recognize too. Hood is an easy one since the wording changes between 4 & 5 for all his powers.

    I think somebody said before that any PvE enemy over level 100 will be 5/5/5. Which means unless you're still transitioning you will always see 5/5/5 opponents except in Trivial nodes.

    It is definitely level based. Wolveroach just played against level 68 Hood, and now it's either 5/5/4 or 4/5/4. He didn't get off Twin Pistols, and the text doesn't mention not ending the turn, so I can't tell.

    I have only one thing to say about this event: Zinda, his face black, his eyes red.

    If the text doesn't mention ending turn, its 5 covers.

    They gain covers as they go up in levels. It depends on your scaling.

    I am getting KILLED on these nodes, even the "easy" ones. My GSBW and Colossus are under-leveled because I don't have the ISO resources to bother with them, and BP is waiting for more significant covers before I bother with him. 1/4/1, baby, woo.

    Just, everything about this character lineup is awful. I might be a bit better off with a fully-leveled Wolverine, I guess.

    Gah. Unfun.

    I have to say that Battleplan (with 12 Team-Up AP stored) followed by Feral Claws followed by Rage of the Panther is pretty awesome.

    Anyone have a grasp on current bracket status? I'm home for the weekend and now ready to get my butt kicked in this event.
    I did see the topic in the General board. But that's a bit tough to follow as most folks are just posting what their bracket's #1 score is. Thanks!

    Yeah, there's no two ways about it - this event sucks. I just had my party mauled by a Trivial. I've wiped out twice so far.

    I'm glad I don't have any time to play it tomorrow - my blood pressure won't handle it. At this point I don't care about Mystique. I'll take the handicap the next event.
