IMHB is now 1/5/3 congrats on the new bug mal. once I hit it once I started wanting to all the time. its something else to learn and there's a learning curve, even with all the info here in the forums, I still find myself figuring out new stuff all the time, but I'm hitting it on a much more consistent basis now. I think I only missed once so far this season. it has much more to do with being able to time the big push (600 to ~900) correctly with a few hops available if something goes wrong, than anything else.

Should I just focus on levelling those (and a couple of 11-12 cover characters like Hood, IF and Blade) to 166 and think about my 4*s on next season? I've been trying to save hp for shields in case one of my few 4* characters becomes available as a reward, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
Wintersmith wrote: I raised Patch to 166 after last post. Other 3* characters over level 150 are Doom 5/3/5), Magneto (3/5/5), Thor (3/5/5), Luke Cage (5/3/5), Rocket&Groot (3/5/5) and Loki (4/4/5). IF is at 12 covers (4/3/5) and getting 13th cover from DDQ next week. Patch and Loki are my favourite duo to bring on the field. Is there some obvious overpowered pair I'm not noticing for pvp? My Cyclops, Daken and BP are not playable, except maybe when boosted. Punisher, Gamora, HT, Falcon, Steve Rogers, Mohawk and DD are fully covered and lvl 140.
Wintersmith wrote: Problem with EotS pve is I just don't have time or interest to grind to better position than top100. And I'm fine with that. Furthermore, my alliance is casual, with a few friends, sometimes top1000, so no alliance covers. My Cyclops is now 5/2/2, after DDQ.
Wintersmith wrote: I checked about season scores in pvp. There are guys in season top10 alliances, with only around 600 points more than I have. I might have to switch alliance to more pvp oriented one. Might get better rewards than the top1500 of my current alliance...

The advice on picking a time slice helped quite a bit.. i am no longer picking a slice with people playing at the same time as me.. i was hit so much less on this run, my push time is when many of them are sleeping.

I get like 3 attacks during my 8 hour shield and 10 minutes after shield expires, I've lost like -200 points, even when winning matches meantime. What gives? Yeah, you are invisible while shielded, meaning people will no longer find you during that time. However, once your shield expires you are visible again. If this is near the end of an event, it could mean that people who are sitting there refreshing and looking for easy targets before breaking their shield will cue you up if you are sitting on a lot of points with a team that isn't as scary as the other high point teams. Since you are invisible to new PvP node refreshes while shielded, the only time you can be attacked while shielded is if people are retaliating against you or they had you cued up before you shielded. If they attack you during the time you were shielded, you will not lose any points (but they still gain them... win/win) and if you win you gain points.
