    Makes sense how the devs have been absent now. Anyway free loot what's not to like.

    Unless you switched alliance for this that is.

    Feel sorry for those who did. Was going to but decided not to jump into anything to fast.

    I'm excited for another crack at Ultron. I don't have many covers for Vision and only one for Captain Marvel. My alliance was pretty new last time this happened, and we've all leveled up considerably. So, we'll see if we can make it through the end this time! icon_e_smile.gif

    Does anyone have unused tokens from run1?

    did they update?

    Very interested in this as well because if so I will save all my tokens from this one as I don't need any of the rewards.

    Came here looking for this answer as well, also don't need the rewards other than the HP/ISO that is incredibly unlikely to pull.

    I guess they will update next time there will be a rerun of Ultron run 1 icon_e_smile.gif

    Did someone confirm that for you Turul?

    not yet - but there's nothing to lose if we keep these new tokens for a while...

    Fwiw, the 20% reduction seems to be holding. Round 5 = 1,600,000

    I know it's probably Karma for my recent luck with boards and cascades, but those dang sentries are cascading me like a waterfall. Even TetrisUltron has been dropping a disturbing number of horizontal matches.

    I still have a token from the last run with Hulkbuster. It did not get updated and join the current set of tokens, so these are new. With the adjustment to health it's probably being treated as a separate event and maybe these tokens will be the ones that eventually update the next time it's run.

    Unrelated to that, a hole heap of very small felines on this event. I had forgotten how much of a horrible grind this event is. Sure, it's not the same 5 Dark Avengers, but it's the same 5 Ultron/Sentries in every match, so it might as well be. Oh, here's two waves of the same 3 sentries. Oh, here's two more waves. Oh, here's two more waves. Oh, here's two more waves. There's no variety here in the main node.


    Ultron prime fight 4 - Hive Mind, generate crits. Every single turn. Ugh.

    I'll be playing until I get the blue icon_vision.png cover, but as I've already got him at 3/5/3 and don't need the red or yellow, I'll be stopping then. This event was fun for the first day or two of the first run. Very far from fun now.

    So as ridiculous as Ultron Sentries are as opponents, the powered up characters this time(namely patch, black panther, luke cage) are really well equipped to deal with them.

    I'm clearing waves much faster now that I don't have to use Failsilver and Baby Witch(she only had 1 cover back then, look at how she's grown!)

    Just finished Ultron clear on my stream if anyone wants to see what's (not) new

    Is there a distinction between the first and second rounds of tokens? Will saving tokens during this first round allow me to attempt to pull on the next round or will they simply be stockpiled and stuck on the higher chance of Ms Marvel?

    If you mean what I think you mean, there's no difference during the event between tokens acquired in rounds 1/2/3/4/...8. I'm not sure how the update would happen before the next time the event is run; there were too many issues last go-around.

    No, I'm asking if there is a difference between tokens from the 3 star run of Ultron vs the 4 star run. "Rounds" was a poor choice of words on my part.

    These bombs seem much more powerful to me. Level 6 bombs are doing 8550 damage each. Is this scaled up or is everyone getting that? It wasnt that high last time was it?

    I have no guys that can take 2 hits and live because match damage whittles them down from mini cascades. My only maxed guy is groot and he's not boosted. Everyone else is underleveled.

    Not having fun, and with no vision, three nodes and then wait.

    Just after some clarification.

    This is the first time I have played Ultron. I am in my alliance of one and in Round 1. I have been back and forth 5 times between the sentry fights and Ultron in the middle screen, but can't seem to do anything else and his health bar at the top is about half depleted. Ulron Prime Round 1 doesn't open.

    This is correct and I can't do anything else for 8 hours now? All the sentry fights give me mission completed. Have I played in a less than ideal sense?

    Round 7 level 350 Ultron bombs do 14k, nearly every character gets 1 shot. I recall them doing around 6k round 8 last time, they might have upped his numbers during the gauntlet and never changed them back

    Yes you played it right. The Ultron main and sentry nodes will refresh at fixed 8 hourly intervals. So if it started at 12 midnight for me, the next refresh is at 8am, 4pm and 12 midnight again. At each refresh, the nodes will unlock. This is regardless of what time you completed all the nodes.

    When you completely deplete his health in that round, you will move on to the next round. All nodes will unlock and you start over regardless of what time it is.

    When you complete each round you can go to the Ultron Prime sub to complete the corresponding node for token/cover.

    That's probably why progression rewards are lower this time round.

    Thankyou. The way the game / UI expresses this is not necessarily clear. I had just assumed that 5 lots of each would do the trick per round, so when I couldn't finish, I was puzzled.

    Ah MPQ, as always... so close... but just not quite there...

    I really hope the bomb damage is a bug. Even on round 6, i might take a single bomb to the facw, but stil die to match damage...though even a lvl200 patch is one-shotted. This basically makes prime 7-8 nigh impossible for most folks.

    I never used my compensation ultron tokens on my alt account but they just disappeared after a while. Never bothered though because it's just an alt...oh well, too late now
