Correct. I don't have the roster space but some people save up a fully covered, unleveled juggs and a 2/5 MBW for this event. At level 1, they heal back to full strength in like 5 minutes. Very scary given my jugg takes about 5 hours to do that after a down.

I have a level 30 jugs at the end of my roster, and the moment I saw Balance of Power appear, I started saving all the Jugs tokens I got in LR for a second one and is now 3/2. I hope to have 5/5 befire my shard starts.

10- cover jugs isn't so hard to get.

Yeah, with lightning rounds going, it really takes very little effort to fully cover a juggs. I've kept one saved, but don't need any cap covers so it was kind of a waste >.<

Damn it, all I need is a Red cap cover - there's no way I'm getting Top 5 in this event, though. Razzle-frazzle.

I just entered the game and this event has disappeared. Anyone with this problem or is it just me?

I have a 1/0/5 OBW that I use to send TUs to my alliance. I bet she'll be fun to break out for this event.

Way more than usually, since everyone is 270.

I've been having trouble with my events, all my events, sporadically disappearing since last night. Each time I've closed out the game and re-entered, that usually fixed it. Once I had to do that twice.

I did have this happen to me once. I closed the game and re-opened and have had no problems. The issue was right before the Gauntlet opened so it might have been a loading error, and the addition of Loki's 3rd abilty.

Yes. For instance, Juggernaut's Headbutt will hit for 6850 (and himself for 3425) regardless of how many covers you have, but you only get it for 6 if you have five covers.

My cap is covered, but top 25 for blue would brING him to proper spec. Not usually in my range of ability. Maybe just play this for iso n fun and see where I'm at close to end if it's feasible. Unlikely tho. Main focus will be gauntlet. Really want to finish it this time.

The problem with BoP is that it just takes such a bloody long time. Had a battle with a seed team who only has 1* Storm and IM, and it still took a couple of minutes - and a fair bit of damage - to chew through IM's monster health at 270.

What do you think my best offensive/defensive team would be given the following chars with max covers:

:
Iron Man, Black Widow, Storm, Juggernaut

:
Daken, Wolverine, Thor, Ares, Magneto, Captain America, Human Torch, Black Widow

/ :
None

Juggs, Ares, OBW...

Ares/Daken/Falcon don't take long.

lol, new BOP strategy. Play to 450, leave in awesome defensive team, stay unshielded, and win literally more than 12 defensive matches in a row. I'm currently at 657 and haven't done anything since around 450.

mind sharing that awesome def team?

i jump between being top5 and being top25....will be funny to see, where this journey ends. would love to stay in top25 really

I'd love to know what that awesome defensive team is.

It's more like 35 minutes after being downed. Still pretty awesome considering any NORMAL character's heal time, but 5 minutes would be pretty insane...Though if I had enough covers to have 6 Juggs fully covered...

orbitalint

Hehe, Sorry they was a bit of hyperbole in there and you only need juggs at half health or more with obw giving you free headbutts after an anti grav... If it was a cover I needed like blade, might consider opening that roster spot because 35 minutes is still amazing
