Only another 29-30 hours of this! We're in the home stretch. God I hope this is the last sub.

There will definitely be 1 more sub after this (the one where you start off with both widow/patch as a team up at the same time).

Ughhhh

PVE is just such a grind. It's too bad that all the new interesting characters are released during PVE events.

I think only the main event is a grind: the subs are fine since they are extremely lucrative (at least if you tank everything)

By the end of the last sub I will have a second 13 cover Patch. And tanking is such a waste of time.

Hah, i sold off my excess patch covers for hp: im never going to get enough iso to level 2 patches, and would much rather have the 275 hp. Tanking is sort of a waste of time, but is probably more time efficient than playing pvp matches in shield simulator.

I debating selling but I realized, 275 HP buys so little nowadays that I might as well collect a second Patch for use some day. No harm.

Facing 141 Hood in pve is so frustrating now since I'm not using any boosts. I just cant get my AP up there without that initial boost. Now that +3 ap all costs HP, I think Hood would be quite nice on defense, since it will be frustrating to get AP for skills to take him out. Especially now AP skills are meant to be 6+ (or was it 5+?).

I just stunned him with Spiderman as soon as I have any blue to use. I figure there's no point to hold onto it because he'll just steal it eventually anyway. Won't be getting any overall stunlocks if there's more than just Hood, but at least you're not losing most of your AP that way.

Haha. I don't have a good spidey. Enjoy it while it lasts

Fighting Hood in these is pretty annoying. I wonder if it will ever be worth leveling him up for actual PvP or PvE. (He's probably actually really good in PvE)

I have 4 blue. Even a bad stun is better than no stun on The Hood.

eidehua

That's still quite good. I've only got 2 blue. Guess I should still use him.

I used Hood/OBW/AXM Wolvie in the Widowmaker tournament and enjoyed it. It probably helped that OBW was tied to Jungle for that tournament - there's something quite satisfying in stealing 60% of the AP from an opponent's Thorned Rose (or steal - Rose - steal - heal). It's a great all or nothing team, and not entirely horrible for quick wins, but is a little lacking on defense, moreso now that Wolverine won't meat shield quite as well as before.

In theory he pairs well with IM40. I'm not too sure on the numbers to know which of them covers blue and yellow. That leaves you with Green and Purple to cover - maybe Daken as the 3rd?

275 plus 450 (did it just go up?) for the slot. I'm tempted as well since I could not decide between 5/5/3 and 5/3/5. Ended up 5/3/5 due to a slip when getting rid of covers and hitting yellow by mistake. Could be destiny. Just wish I had not been getting rid of his covers. Currently only have 5 red.

Yeah the slot too. But I don't spend HP on much else except the occasional shield and I usually make back the cost of my shield if not most of it.

Uhhhhh....these sub-events are so tedious and awful. To think, I used to be happy and excited when there was a new sub-event.

Going to say screw it, get top 30 in my current bracket. Getting any higher just isn't worth it and is making my blood pressure rise. Just going to grind main event, may not even do the next subevent

Also, I think the last 2 days I've gone through about 20 health packs

The sub brackets are easy now that most people can't do the 230X3, provided you can still do them. If not, it's still every bit as grindy as before. Of course you might be in a tough bracket too, and nothing can help you there.

NorthernPolarity

Will retreating from the first mission cause you to join a subbracket? I want to tank using the first mission without actually joining a super hard bracket.

Just a quick question... should i grind every mission until only one point left?
Or i must leave some point inside so it an generate over time as more ppl surpass me? I find that it does not refresh on time like i calculated which is 8 hours but some mission i did not done it just refresh over time and generate over 400 pts

They all refresh 8 hours after you complete the stack.
