Gonna go ahead and place a disclaimer here. There were a lot of changes between the last run and this one so it is definitely possible that I got something wrong somewhere. I did not place a summary of the event since it appears the event length was cut in half.

Looks like they are serious about requiring a 2* in events moving forward.

Not happy with D3 forcing us to keep characters for which we have a specific upgrade just to satisfy an essential.

Not just 2*, 2/3/4* alliance mates who started an early slice are reporting IW essential as well.

Apparently the Event Featured are all essential

I'm actually quite baffled of how under equipped I am in this. Normally I enjoy Heroic events cause it tests us on specific rosters. After spending months fully maxing out a fair amount of (all & fully maxed) I'm still scraping for a strong team to field. Maybe it's due to the luck of which character they chose to feature...

GrimSkald

So what you're saying is that the it seems like the new format for PVE essentials is 1 2*, 1 3*, 1 4*?

Wow. That's.... special. I think it's time to start making noise about the cost of Roster slots again. I don't mind keeping a full and diverse roster if it didn't cost so tinykitty tinykitty tinykitty much to expand it, y'know? I jettisoned 2* cap months ago. I was really, really looking forward to kicking 2* Thor to the curb (it took me forever to get his big brother to the right cover configuation,) and now it's looking like I can't?

Yeah, time to start making noise. The current model is unsustainable. Unless they keep introducing HP streams (increasing the ways you can get HPs,) sooner or later it's going to go beyond anyone's ability to keep up. Even people spending money on the game (and I do, actually, throw some money at it every so often,) will sooner or later be priced out of slots. It may take longer than the game is in existence, but it will happen.

scanned through but couldn't tell - which ** is essential here? gonna suck if this continues. I'm down to 8 so it'll be a crapshoot if I have it or not.

2* Thor

TheVulture

Goodness this is starting off brutal - even with max. super-buffed Punisher & Magneto w/ Black Widow, barely made it round the map...

This would seem impossible once community scaling kicks in.

N.B. For those without 2* Daken: the current thinking is that the 2* cover in each event will be the essential 2* in the next, so hold on to that cover (if the 2* & 4* essential pattern isn't putting you off PvE altogether).

If this turns out to be true, I'm going to kiss you on the mouth for giving us this warning! I have a fully covered level 15 Daken who was next in line to get the chop.

I have all of the two stars maxed, but the roster slots are starting to get stupid high right now. I don't know if I will have enough to add Vision even if I get him as a progression. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that once you have the three star, then you can level them slowly through DDQ. I know I can't sustain a PPV and PVE schedule so I'm trying to get some three star champions. My MMR in PVP puts me so far behind others that it's not worth playing usually and it's so high on scaling in PVE that it's becoming increasingly difficult to even play.

SnagglePuss

Can't wait till Bagman is the essential.....

So, this event made me realize that even after her second buff, IW is still godawful.

I actually have a bunch of her covers. She's 5/5/2, but she is pulling a lot less weight than my 2* Thor. I know she needs the 5 green to be at her best, but the green covers just never came.

Once we get to the 4*s where I have only 1 or 2 covers, this will get really ugly.

Malcrof

this PVE is killing me..well my characters.. The essentials i burnt through with no issues, didn't even need a health pack..
The Three Amigos on the other hand.. all scaled way high, but i can't use any chars that i have leveled (other than torch and thor)... i've died both tries... on the 2nd sub of an event....

Punisher5784

The annoying part about the 2* Essentials is that it's been characters that have 3* version. There is no reason to have a 2* Captain America once you have a covered 3* Steve Rogers, same with Thor. So is next PVE going to have 2* Daken? Maybe they'll just have 1* Storm!

I'd say that she is somewhat useful now. She now has a lot of HP so that's at least that. Her blue being that cheap and lying down a nice protect tile every time is also good. Her blue can be used to "freeze" CD's/strike/protect/attack tiles which is incredibly useful for PVE and is fairly rare. Yellow is... it is what it is. It's much cheaper now and it might give you win sometimes when IW is the only one left.

Green has nice damage now but I don't like how it interacts with her blue. If you blow up bubbles and there's a special tile under it, it will reactivate unless you down that character. Feels silly to me.

WHAT THE BARNACLE?

----

as a side note I'm glad this is short because I have a feeling new character will be after this

TxMoose

may have found a bug or maybe I don't understand something correctly.

**Hawkeye's colors, in order, blue/red/purple. blue should be his highest match damage, red his second highest and purple his lowest, right? haven't used him in a while, so it may have always been like this, but in this heroic sub, his purple is highest damage, blue second, and red third. basically his purple/blue match obw (even though that doesn't match the color order on his cover page) so depending on placement, he tanks both or she tanks both, but according to their color order it shouldn't be that way, right? what am I missing or what do I have wrong?

Unknown

I am -struggling- with the (node?) that auto gives you Thor/IW/Vision versus goons, called "The Big Guns."

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, that trio just seems terrible, but then again, Im not familiar with them at all.

Sadly enough, Thor is the best character in this lineup. You HAVE to rely on him unless your Susan is well-covered(even then, you need damage from Thor). Don't do any vision abilities besides Blue > Red while Blue if you can help it IMO.

Unknown

Yeah, I actually don't have any of these three characters. I got 2 thor covers but haven't recruited him yet as Im working towards my next roster slots.

I just got lucky and have 1 star hawkeye and 2 star Widow and Torch to even play in the event.
