Normally I use to need play SHIELD until the last day of the season to get any missed points to hit 4000 for the elusive 10pk. I dove right on, playing a few missions a day. Wasn't too difficult until I reached around 1300. I'm sure many players wanted the Patch yellow. So I kept climbing off of the retaliation points. Surprised to see so many low level 2*, low 3* players. I have all of the 3*s between 110-120. When I finally hit Magneto, that's when it came nearly impossible to reach 2000. Every time I hit 1900 then took a break, I would get hit for almost 200 pts. I'd climb back to 1900 and the same would happen. I knew if I was ever going to hit 2000 I would have to keep playing. Every time I won a fight, I would be smacked right back down. At one point I only needed 30pts and the node I faced was 35, well when I beat it I only earned 29pts! Yes 1 tinykitten point from 2000! I quickly beat another node but I had been hit for another 40pts! So I would in again and reached 1970, fight a 30pt node but get snacked down again. This went on for a good hour. I was getting frustrated so I started stacking 5 20% boasts to quickly kill teams.. After 4 more fights I finally won Professor X! Shortly after winning it I was hit back down to 1850.. No joke lol What a accomplishment! It's hard but possible!

When you get attacked, you get a pop-up notice of how many points you lost. Then when you open the event, there will be a node that is red instead of yellow. That's to be able to retaliate against the person who attacked and won points from you.
