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

I just do whatever that is above 500 once a day. There is also no point pulling way ahead of the leader due to rubberbanding. Anything more is just charity.

This is spot on. There really is no need to grind.

Not sure if this is 100% true: we're heading into 3 refresh cycles left, so I think any lead at the end of each cycle is a good one to have.

Yes, being in first is great but there is no point grinding and extending the lead. It only makes it easier for stragglers to catch up.

Depends on the strength of your bracket surely? How many players are able to complete a full cycle each refresh?

I could, but can't be arsed lol

im at 38k, and since all those sub missions Scotland Yard etc are all level 230 all i've been doing really is The Who twice for 3k points and a few others.
im refusing to do any with goons as they are way too strong to beat without boosts and its too expensive to use the rainbow boost.

Do you have a blue hood?

Blue hood is anathema to goons when paired with spidey or OBW.

I was ambivalent towards Magneto nerf. I don't have enough covers to even know what I am missing out on.

But damnit after about the 8th time through Magneto and Hood level 230 where he uses that red cascade generating time wasting animation I seriously want him burned to the ground.

I'm also not opposed to hurting his pets. I hate him sooo bad right now.

my hood is 1/3/1 so probably not worth the hassle.

and magneto is god. if you like board control that is.
blue5 lets you place 2 blues at a cost of 5ap so any time you can make a 5match its an instant crit tile at no cost. which if lucky can give some really good cascades.
red5 (i only have mine at 3 = 4ap)destroys 5 random tiles at the cost of 2ap which is really good for cascade opportunites
and finally purple5 shuffles the blue and red tiles and can do up to 8268dmg (13x636)

he's my favourite character in this game and i really hate that they're nerfing him.

just pass 40k point... i gonna save up some point in few sub mission then grind to reach top 2 spot when there a chance...
Did anyone realize when you grind all your remaining to just 1 point there would be any point generate till the next refresh coming... but if you just do 1 cycle only and leave it be it will slowly increase its point slowly... but other point in other mission will deduce when you complete the highest point in the mission... just saying

Possibly dumb question: I have a few of the +150% damage against HAMMER/Maggia boosts. Do those go away after the PvE event if I have not used them? I seem to recall having one before that went away so I want to try to use them in the subbracket if they will go to waste otherwise.

No, they still remain there.

I think the one you are thinking about was a +150% damage against Avengers (or was it dark avengers?). They removed that one completely.

So is tanking gone?

I think so, I got beat last night in a LR match and couldn't attack again.

I literally just beat HAIGUYZDOOM (default Loki, Lv3 IM35, Lv2 MBW) with default Loki, Lv6 Bagman and Lv1 Yelena.

Bombs away!

Only decided to post after the last patch went out this week and prior to the patch I was enjoying finding ways to beat the low level Maggia goons, lvl 100 - 190, and sometimes the lvl 208s. I never bothered with the lvl 230 Dark Avengers as it's a waste of time.

First round of TAT 'Heavily Guarded' was a one time round which I completed, the next that opened up after many sub missions was 'Cover Her', again I managed to complete this and it's there also to repeat. However, after the recent changes to Thor and Wolverine and the increased cost of boosts to 200AP and the +3 to 100HP, I can no longer attempt to even beat the 3rd stage, 'We're In', as now Patch's green attack (9 green AP) correctly places strike tiles against you, and on top of that I can't build up enough red AP (8) to even give me a paltry attack that might give me 3 random yellows that might allow me to build 12 green that I need to use 'Call the Storm'. Not only can I not beat the 3rd stage, I can't beat the 2nd one which I'd previously done and this is a direct result of the changes they've introduced mid tournament.

Those maggia are no joke, and even with normal boosts (200 AP) for red/yellow and blue/purple (I can no longer use +3 ALL) I might be able to collect 9 blue for OBW to be able to stave off one or two rounds of countdowns, but ultimately their yellow being at 4 (this should have doubled like the cost of the boosts) is ridiculous due to the fact that they will place two additional tiles at 500 - 800 (yell or blue) and then they have the scatter gun (1500) which wastes my entire team in one shot before I've killed off one of them.

So I'm wondering how you guys manage to beat them at all bearing in mind that my chars are Thor(lvl53), Patch (lvl 30), OBW(lvl 47)?

I was possibly going to be able to win one Dare Devil cover, but the likelihood is that I'll get only 70 iso and a token for all my hard graft for this long event. The devs really believe there was no other time to introduce these changes? Really? OK then, sigh!

read up how you can delevel the opponents by losing, then you can do it if have enough will and spare time -- many people rather left it there in disgust.

I finished the first submission in 2nd place. I've finished every subsequent submission in 1 st place.

I've been in 1st place the entire event in the main bracket (except of course during refresh when rubberband passes me slightly).

At this point I don't care about Daredevil anymore. If I don't get that X-Force imma be pissed.

I've been winning first in all my sub brackets except the first one and have traded the lead spot in my main bracket back and forth for the past week now. Currently just finished my latest refresh in the sub and main, and have about a 500 point lead over second place in the main bracket. Scores are tight in the top ten. I have one more refresh left in both main and sub before it ends tonight. I will be SO ANNOYED if people rubberband me out of one or two spots...anyone have any tips that might help me hold on to my lead?

If you have only one refreshe left, then I have some bad news for you - some people almost surely still have 2 refreshes left, so your only hope is rubberbanding them with your last refresh. Or their unoptimized play, heh.

I meant PVE tanking. Maybe I just hit the scaling where it's gonna take a lot of deaths.
