    Yeah, it's always a high-level Hulk there. High level can actually work in your favor though as he's slow to Anger.

    If can nick away at him without angering him.. works great.

    I only managed to trigger his Anger with Dooms Diabolical Plot. Then again, that hurt him for about 15k health icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Dunno though, seems like im in a bracket were loads of guys do optimal clears, only for the legendary token. Top 10 in my bracket are between 5 and 8k already

    Against Level 395 Hulk, I used Steve Rogers, GSBW and Ares. Rogers for stunning, GSBW to create Green to fuel Ares. 30 Green AP with Ares is over 10K damage. While not the best strategy, all my other characters were too hurt.

    I'm annoyed that the Hulk rewards have black as top 10, since I only need that one cover to respec mine. At least it means that it should be in the progression of the next PvE I guess, though I'm hoping for a bit of a break before Iceman PvE. I'm not sure how much I want to be grinding through against Hood/Juggs/Mystique etc...

    iceman should be the next PVE so wont get a break

    Still uncertain. Preview thread does not indicate Iceman rewards for Meet Rocket & Groot. Mr. Fantastic rewards was indicated for The Hunt in the preview thread.

    no matter your top levels final stage hulk at 395 now tell me D3 how is that even fair

    someone could have max 94s and be forced to fight hulk 395 someone with max 166 get the same line up

    Because it is 3 against 1. If you were to have 3 enemies, split that 395 by 3. 395 Hulk can easily be beaten by 2* Storm and 2* Magneto.

    um yea right a 395 will be taken down if you have level 50 storm and mag. saying you could have even level 50 and your final match is against 395

    im going in with ares . cage and punisher... get enough green and yellow hit them all at once get hulk down to around 9500 or so and then Red punisher for the win

    Your plan is destined to fail. You need a stun, all that team is going to do is feed him green

    beat him 5 times so far doing this.. How would it feed him if im holding off using the items until i know they are good enough... Ares green hits around 400 per green. 10 yellow hits like 4500 or so i think.. I think cage 12 black hit around 3000 or so

    got to get him down to under 10400 then punisher one shot kills him.

    so around 15 green. 10 yellow and 12 blacks will win the match. just dont use any attacks until you have that built.

    about storm stun. Some reason my boards never have enough blue to get storm power to work. could put storm in place of cage but cage blocking so much damage (think 250) the only real damage hulk can do is his red move (i think his green can only hit for few hundred) red though can one hit kill.

    im not saying i cant beat him what im saying it sort of unfair to make someone with level 50s or even lower Fight the same level as someone as level 166 or higher max out people.

    At 4 Purple and 5 Blue you can spam and stun quickly and there should be enough webtiles out. Get some black and it's game over

    He's going to be appearing quite soon, I think. We've even got an icon for him: icon_iceman.png

    Worthwhile progression awards that don't involve fights that make me rip my hair out? Hey, I'll actually post something positive here for once!

    I've beaten him 5 times already also, using the same perma-stun strategy, with Daredevil.

    People in my bracket are definitely going for the legendary token. I'm in 4th place with over 9K. Top guy already has over 10K.

    Also, got my 3rd Hulk black from Deadpool Daily today, so would love to place in the top 10 and get a 4th, but I won't be too mad if I don't, since I'm mainly going for the legendary token also, which does help my chances of a possible top 10 finish, as long as I keep grinding away.

    PVE with Blade and Fist buffed? Sweet! The nodes practically clear themselves icon_e_biggrin.gif
    I'm using Iron Fist, Gamora and 4* Thor as my default team. Works well and has full rainbow coverage. It's kind of fun that Iron Fist's attack tile isn't enough to trigger lvl 395 Hulk's Anger, I get a mental image of Iron Fist kung fu-ing all over Hulk who doesn't even notice he's there...
    I think I joined too soon though, there are more grinders than I'm used to in my bracket. Oh well, that may mean I can just take it easy instead. If I can't hit top 50 I may just go for top 300.

    If people were only going for the token, I hope they realize that grinding out the first few subs isn't the way to go on a 7 day event. Save yourself some time and wait for higher point nodes.

    Has anyone considered that the availability of the Legendary token progression award, may make it hard to get placement awards as more people approach something close to an optimal strategy?

    A large chunk, even if they're playing optimally for now, are going to hit 70k and stop on a dime.

    But the veterans not playing for placement [should] know that you don't have to be anywhere near optimal to hit 70k, if you start on day 1 at least. The only reason to play optimal would be to get some of the sub placement rewards as you go.
