    GSBW dies in one node, surrender, heal to full, go back in, she dies instantly again.

    I thought community scaling was turned off? icon_e_confused.gificon_e_confused.gificon_e_confused.gificon_e_confused.gificon_e_sad.gif

    2nd sub is 48 hours. 3 essentials, 8 non-repeatable and 6 repeatable nodes.

    Waaaaaaaaay too many nodes. Just did a full clear and took forever, nodes just kept popping up! And no variety, same characters over and over.

    Florida is definitely one of my least favorite subs ever.

    not one of - my least favorite by far. and what complicates it is you cannot tell which nodes are the repeatable and which are the one timers. if that was made clear you could spread the one timers out over a couple of days but since you don't know you basically have to clear all the dang things on the first clear - and that takes forever, especially if you just ground the end of sub1.

    starlord is a waste....just choose a 2 character combo that doesn't include him

    if you REALLY want to know the answer to your question - Devil Dino and prof x

    Topping that off is that some of the repeatable nodes don't unlock until you have played certain one-time nodes.


    I can appreciate that the redesign of the event moved it from those horrific overlapping subs, but the one-time nodes really need to all be present on the screen to start, be discernible in some way (maybe only offer a 1/1 reward...there's no need for 4 different rewards when you can only get one), and not be requisite for opening the repeatable nodes. It's poor design, because let's be honest - no one who has ever played this event before is still reading that dialogue.

    Wow, now that Ragnarok has healing, that node with him + Daken + Lieutentant is stupid tough. They'll just outlast you since everyone has healing. And thanks to Daken's constant supply of strike tiles, eventually come out ahead. Extra tough since it's low-level, meaning you can't use your good characters or else you'll trigger scaling. So I'm trying to whack these guys with some 2/1/2 builds and can't do any damage to get past their healing. It's one of those annoying things about the game where playing it the right way really hurts the overall fun.

    I just whacked them with maxed 3*s takes less than a minute.. their level 55 scales to 65 so what... next time it's a minute and 10 secs.

    didn't know specifics I just approach any easy nodes that way.

    Anyone willing to help me with this event, been away from the game and just started playing competitively again. Not familiar with the optimal way to do nodes anymore. PM me if you can.

    Thanks in advance.

    Clear all the nodes once when the sub opens and then wait 8 hours for all the points to come back. Repeat every eight hours. Then a couple hours before the sub closes, grind the nodes as much as you can. Win Mr Fantastic.

    Oops, your final node also just jumped 20 levels.

    My suggestion is to use 2*'s if you have them. Make sure one of them is CStorm, because Blue is probably the color you most don't want them to get. You should still take enough damage to at least somewhat mitigate a scaling increase. Bonus: if they get off Godlike, and Storm survives - instawin.
