    With Nemek, Bucky, and Phantron all in my main, I'm happy just to be in the Top 10. Charged into 1st in my sub in the last 15 min. It was a tight squeeze - almost all nodes were down to 1 pt.

    Yeah the lack of Patch cover switch kinda sucks. I want Green, but it looks like if I finish in 2nd again I'll have to sell a red since 5/3/5 seems like the ideal Patch build.

    Wow that was brutal. Had to do every single refresh--got four sets of missions--and then had to spam Family Reunion I for the last 15 minutes to stay in 5th place. I could only do Family Reunion IX on the first set of missions (maybe the second, too, I forget). My GSBW is lvl 15, so the lvl 230 version is impossible. Wound up around 860+ for my sub.

    Correct. This strategy is for the intent of getting as much goodies as possible. You sacrifice *some* of your main bracket placement for a good shot at getting #1 for the sub bracket and getting a full Patch. I'm currently at #2 since I did things out of order a bit.

    Aha. That makes sense. Hmm. So sacrificing one or maybe two new Daredevil covers to polish off patch. Wonder if this next sub will work the same way...

    Urrrrgh, level 201-202 for starting fight? Think I'm going to have to pretty much sit this round out.

    With enemy levels not resetting ...who has the largest ISO/ HP reserve? icon_lol.gif (not me)

    Use Army of One to fuel your ISO for purchasing Boosts. Also if you're so inclined you can grind the first missions, one hit kill Doctor Doom and pray for some good boosts to drop.

    I noticed it's 1d 1h on total time so is it possible someone got 4 sets of missions in? Of course that'd likely require you standing by your computer at all times to not miss the refreshes since the time it takes to do these missions itself is nontrivial.

    You can retreat to lower the level of the enemy. It won't make a dent on the really hard missions (the final ones) but it does make the easy missions drop down to sane levels after about 30 or so retreats.

    Right? We been going against nothing but 230's for this whole event and they can't even give us a small break to at least complete new missions once? I have went from enjoying this event to loathing this event at near light speed.

    The levels of mobs do dissipate over time. It may be that finishing a sub at the last minute and kicking into the next straight off isn't optimal

    I had the opposite. Coolbond and Svaltas are both in my bracket and knocked me off #1 in the last 10 minutes. I guess now I have to try to place better in Army of One.

    I'm getting through all missions (have been at 230/230/230 since I ground the first set so much) without boosts using spidey, original widow, and level 15 patch. Sometimes I sub my xforce during easier ones and gsbw if I have too. Still, no boosts and maybe 4 total packs used so far

    Just think, it could be worse.

    They could bug fix Patch

    Me and bugpop are #2/1 in main and subs. We both levelled out at 1005 points before going to 1 pointers.
    Will be so angry if people slingshot past us in the sub. Lol
    I am in the same main, only a little lower. #7 with the end of the Thieves sub. I just hope I make it in the top 50.
    So far the higher difficulty is making this more interesting than the last event. I had to sit and study the board some times because a wrong more would mean game over, like in the last mission I tried just before the end of the event when 1 Thug KOed my entire team. To my defense this was one of the worse setup boards I have faced. For the first 2 turns all I could match was environmental tiles.

    I still have no confirmation, but the last time I saw the results I was first with ~970 points

    I'm thinking of waiting about 2 hours before joining, because the 1d 1h time worries me. It seems possible someone could get 4 set of missions in this way and there's no way I can pull that off and that'd give you an insurmountable advantage, so I'm going to wait until there are about 22h left and can be reasonably sure there's no possibilty anyone in my bracket could do 4 sets.

    Seriously lvl 230 at the start of next sub event? This better be a glitch or the devs is trying to punish players that grind for points.

    I had thereck in my sub, and I rubberbanded the **** out of him. Thank you Nemek for the insight. Finished numero uno. Definitely waiting this time around.
