All I get it protect tiles thrown at me (so I deal no damage)

Never get enough blue to use Storms ability to stun magneto in time before he does something degenerate...

Any advice?

Assume a 2 - 3 * transitioner please. Current Magneto node level is 110

It nailed me big time, going to try Loki's Trickery to change their shield to my strike...

maybe can try to use 2* black widow to steal, definitely need one tanker (the 3* thor is vr good) that can sustain at least one hit of magnetized projectile and also need to be able to hit with a heavy damage output. the goon always generate 2AP blue every turn and got a lot of health, so i think no choice have to target magneto and down him as fast as u can. i was using 2* black widow, black panther and 3* thor to win the magneto node. good luck!

Is it more likely that 3* Storm will be the essential character for the event after Thick As Thieves, or that it'll be Star Lord?

I don't have enough roster slots to accommodate another 4* so not really interested in picking up Star Lord, I'd rather control my pace to land the double 3* Storm covers I could actually use.

But if Star Lord is gonna be essential I suppose shooting for at least 1 is a must to be able to compete in the following event.

I've only been playing for a month and a half, but I've yet to see a 4* be powered up in any event, so my gut tells me it'll be Storm? But since this is a F2P cash grab it'd also make a lot of sense if Star Lord was the essential to try to push people into buying his multi packs.

Wolveroach took out that node, level 118/119/119 with OBW, Hawkeye and 2* Thor. I was a little lucky with a match-5 early on, and Mags went down without doing anything significant. My guys took hardly any damage.

:edit: oh, and I didn't use any boosts, I wanted to try without for the first run through.

History would say Star-Lord. The newly introduced character is always featured in the next PvE event.

the past several character's event have had spit essential nodes

smells like Brotherhood is up next then. It's the episode after TaT, has split essentials, and seems a good story to bring back Magneto.

I think every event aside from Red Isotope can have split essentials, though it'd be pretty cruel to have split essentials on the Gauntlet when one of those guys is a 4*.

Yeah, I forgot about the split, though I think the original poster was wondering if it was possible for Star-Lord to not be required in the next event and I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.

Unknown

Yeah, even in the case of split essentials, a Star Lord would still be required to stay competitive. So now I have a tough choice to make, place top 50 and delete somebody to make room for Star Lord, or relax a bit and grab the double Storms but possibly lose out on a 3* reward track I could use in the event following Thick as Thieves...

Wish I had a crystal ball to see who the upcoming reward is after Thick As Thieves, if it's another character I don't already have then it's pointless to shoot for Star Lord anyways cause I still wouldn't have the roster space. But if it's somebody I do have on my roster that's better than 3* Storm, I'll be kicking myself for not skipping her for the Star Lord.

Depends on who the featured 3* is for the event following Thick As Thieves. If it's somebody they wanted, they'll need Star Lord (even if they don't plan on keeping him) to get enough points to place for multiple covers of the featured 3* they're after, and then just sell Star Lord when they're done.

As a 2 - 3* transitioner, I'd probably be better off with that since Starlord will only be collecting dust for the next 6 months at the very least, but like mclmf said: I will need Starlord to compete for the next old 3*, so I have to aim for top 50.

Unknown

As much as I like MPQ, it's stuff like this that will eventually drive me to quit. Only Top 50 get the main reward, 6 days of event, 3 hour refreshes (after I was hopeful they'd change them to 8 hours for good). I don't want to speak for everybody else, of course, but for me this endless repetitive grinding takes the fun out of MPQ. If I want the reward, I have to structure my life around MPQ. If I say my life is more important, I will lack the essential character needed for the next event, which will be a major throwback there.

Is Family Reunion 7 EVER going to be retuned to make it even close to a fair fight? Classic Magneto force fed yellow and blue, nuking you at best every 5th turn and killing your damage every 3rd.


That's right I forgot, this is FUN!

they don't care, there's the deadpool vs mpq xforce node as well

they don't care thor essential after being vaulted

they don't care new 4* looks really bad but we need him for next event anyway

they don't care they give out 3* storm but we haven't seen 3*magneto/others in forever

Can I just say that a level 99 6000 health Venom being fed blacks by a level 99 6000 health Don paired up with another 6000 health Moonstone is not 'easy' for my 2* roster

Not only is this PVE going to be a bloodbath, but its also unforgiving as top 150 is tinykitty for single placement AND top 100 for alliances.

Is this what they meant by "easing" the 3*>4* transition???

Guys: chill out on the 3 hr refresh stuff.

They said from the beginning the 8 hr one was a TEST - something they were trying out but was not a permanent change. OF COURSE this next event was going to go back to 3 hr - there was no reason to think it wouldn't. At all. They even specifically tried the 8 hr refresh test on one of the (few) times they weren't releasing a new character, just to make sure they didn't tick everyone off in case it went south.

If you like the 8 hr refresh - awesome! Show your support for it! Post about how it's great! But please stop doing your Chicken Little impersonation when they go back to "normal."
