Edit#2: Ty slycookies for posting the sub rewards. Sorry about the lack of updating in this thread. Picking the final slice was a mistake on my part. Any info regarding the event would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the run without a heroic event was fun while it lasted.

Looks like I'll be running OBW, wolvie, ms. marvel. The featured 3 star characters on my roster are under-covered.

slidecage

i must have Squirrel Girl would make me laugh everytime i log in seeing that cover LOL.

Do you have to have those people or are they given to you to use. Nice i have them all besides storm. Maybe can get top 10 easy

its just too bad the rewards are not 3 star covers. i think most have all of the 2 stars they will need.

Blade mains rejoice!

For me, with all my allowed three 3*s at level 40 and a level 15 Ms. Marvel, I'm probably going to be forced to level up someone. 130 Torch feels pretty redundant with 134 Wolv. I do like the 2* rainbow comp, so maybe it's time to level up Ms. Marvel.

OBW Wolv Ms. Marvel is a pretty nice comp though. Play AP denial and control until you can fire off a red-heavy green, then black ftw. Yellow if your board is dry.

this will be a no effort event. maybe 40k and out.

so sick of new characters

Wait, where does it say anything about being forced to use a limited roster? Event Rules just lists powered up heroes?

Heroic's are always limited roster events.

It's a heroic, that means restricted roster

Please, for the love of god, don't run a heroic.

I bet Jamie Madrox could do something about this if he wanted to...

Unknown

Why would anyone try for top 50? Her yellow is worse than spiderman purple. Purple seems decent against daken or blade, and green is clearly a good power... As long as I get top 150 im fine. This event will see a lot of ht/spidey/obw from me

mags1587

And they were doing so well at not introducing new characters in heroics, too...

For reference, this was the format for the last run:
Heroic Oscorp
Length of Event: 6.5 days
Sub-Events? Yes; Alliance Rewards in Sub-Events? No
Number of Sub-Events: 2
Length of Sub-Events: 2.5 days (60 hours)
Main Nodes after Sub-Events End? Yes

The main nodes after the sub-events end were repeatable but had very limited rubberbanding last time IIRC.

New, unknown character given out in a heroic tournament. It's almost as if D3 isn't listening to what the community likes.

Torch, Spidey and Blade actually sound like a pretty decent team. Rainbow coverage. Good to great actives in all colors except yellow. All 3 are a bit squishy but the buff will help. I'm looking forward to the free protect tiles while gathering 10 purple AP for KYEC. The only real downside is it'll be tough collecting red AP for Torch while keeping enough red tiles on the board to trigger The Thirst.

Unknown

Sweet, I knew having a maxed blade would pay off in pve eventually. I can taste the giant strike tiles already.

Torch is around for green I guess. Fine. I'll just use obw for the double strike instead.

vudu3

If you run OBW with Blade she's only going to tank blue. Not much double dipping.

Really??!!?!?

We get the second most ridiculously absurd character in the Marvel Universe before fan favorites like Gambit, Doctor Strange or Cyclops. Outrageous.

D3/Demiurge have officially jumped the shark in my book.

The fact that she will be an essential in the next event and is being released in an Heroic is just salt and vinegar in an already gaping wound.

I am still waiting for the future event where the Marvel Universe is reset again and Squirrel Girl is wiped out of the entire history like she never existed.

Unknown

I'd normally be excited about Squirrel Girl, who I think is a fun character, but it's a heroic. These things are terrible. Let's get ready for a week of absolute misery.

Nah, Heroic Juggs was terrible. This one has 3 subs and is basically structured like a normal event except with the lock out. Essentially, the people without maxed blades / torches will hate it, and people with them will think that its perfectly fine. Given how Demiurge literally just gave out Torch / Blade covers in the past couple of weeks, I can't see this being seen really as a super blatant cash grab (which they easily could have done by making the featured character Cage, for instance), but rather simply a normal cash grab like any other event would be.

Edit: Hey look! The city sub is allowing more characters to be used as well: Gamora, 3* Cap, MN Mags, C. Hawkeye are all on the list! What a pleasant surprise, that makes this even less of a cash grab, so instead of a moderate cash grab, it's been now downgraded to a mini cash grab. Props to Demiurge for making heroics less painful for all!

Even if they have maxed 4*s? I'm not convinced that won't screw up the scaling for those folks...

Unknown

Btw Gamora, Steve Rogers, MnMags and Hawkeye are also boosted, and not in the OP.
Steve rogers alone should make the people without big fat Blades happier. Goes great with mnmags and OBW

initial sub is 36h

the nodes have 3h cooldowns.

This is probably the best Heroic roster we've ever had. Which isn't saying that much, but still.
