    So mostly this is like the Sim PVE but with a boss battle

    also if this is just like ultron event Will the event stay open after round 8 or lock down. Like say 1 million pts needed to get XXXX will the event stay open or will it just disappear after the allaince kills the 8th round

    Guessing the progression rewards will be like the other ultron runs

    500,000 X covers
    750,000 x covers
    1,000,000 X covers

    Awesome list of essentials ... long, but common characters, except maybe Jean.

    Wonder why it isn't "any" Torch tho? Why specific on Torch?

    Galactus and FF go way back.... so maybe that's why it's so specific.
    that still doesn't explain why 2* torch shouldn't be acceptable. ice listed classic torch which is 3* HT, which implies johnny storm 2* does not count. which is why aes was curious.

    edit: that list of essentials (which presumably will get the big boost?), added to the weekly boosted and you have a ton of great characters to choose from:

    5* - Essential OM Logan?
    4* - Iron Man (Hulkbuster), Kingpin, Essential Jean Grey, Essential XF Wolverine
    3* - Black Panther, Falcon, Kamala Khan, Ragnarok, Thor (Modern), Essential Torch, Essential Iron Fist, Essential GSBW, Essential Marvel, Essential Spidey, Essential Patch
    2* - Bullseye, Moonstone, Essential AX Wolverine, Essential Marvel
    1* - Storm, Venom, Essential Spidey

    wow - imhb, fist, kk, thor, panther, patch, jean, xfw - lots of firepower.

    1* Modern Black Widow should work as well.

    Just you wait until The Amazing Bag-Man, buffed to level 900, saves the world by punching Galactus right in the nose.

    SInce Galactus won't have Sentry-type enemies and we're facing the regular villains and goons, will each node still be Survival?

    Sentry Survivals were not too bad because they did not have Active powers. Although their passives were annoying at times, they were manageable, especially with the right team. I would prefer not to face 5 Survivals of Villains (aka 5 Big Enchiladas!) every 8 hrs. This is important to know.

    What a good looking question. Yes, can we get an answer to this please?

    With Spidey essential, presumably boosted, can Venom become the devourer of the devourer of worlds.

    Five nodes, just like Ultron. I guess that means the four specific characters (Jean, Torch, Kamala, Iron Fist) will be needed for two nodes with better rewards (on a rotating schedule?) while the "any" characters (Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Spider-man) will be needed for three nodes with lesser rewards. When Ultron ran you needed one specific character to play the node where you could win tokens...

    Sold my 2/2/2 3* spiderman and my fully covered 1* Spiderman last month...whoops

    Got a couple of 3* covers I can recruit and I imagine I could cover a 1* pretty easily if I needed to, but hopefully it's not going to be anything too taxing in his essential nodes!

    If you want to build a devourer strategy. the question is how to keep the 1* venom alive long enough to use his bk ability. I just don't see it being workable, unfortunately.

    That depends on how Galactus attacks, doesn't it? Even Tetris Ultron only hit one person at a time, so as long as Galactus doesn't break that pattern you can just bring in literally any 2* or better character who uses green, purple or black and they'll tank for him.
