Deadpool Vs...

Is it just me or is this PVE rubbish? Just 2 sub nodes to get 37k? I stupidly thought there would be more subs than two and the first sub was not worth that many points ( I did optimal clear and only ended up with 11k - reinforcing my opinion that optimal clears are not better than grinding). I'd be very surprised if I get the legendary token on this now, partly my fault I should've looked at how many days the event ran for and determined how much grinding was needed but it still feels like a very small amount of subs to get 37k that's 18.5k a sub.

That first sub would need grinding to zero on every node to get anywhere near 18.5k

    Did you join late? I did mostly optimal clears (second night was ~2 hours early) from the start (each sub was 2 days), and ended up around 18k after the first sub. Minimal grind, did a double-tap to each essential before the end. If you had 11k, something doesn't add up.

    Hi,

    Thats not really true. I had 23k on my first sub.

    Not sure how you are exactly doing this. But i messed up my optimal clears only to realise that it was a 2 day sub but i still had 23k

    Im currently at 37k having done a day of the second sub, which roughly is 14k. If you have truly done optimal clears, you would have been around that number.

    Considering you have 11k from first day, 37-11 = 26 (which would mean doing two days of 14k which i have shown is possible)

    get in top50 and get nice amount of HP, or if you see that you cant reach top50, dont play the event at all. All other rewards are poop.

    The points have shot up for the second set as well, although I will say that some of these villain nodes are rough, especially the 'feed me' Doom node and the Ares/Loki/Rags health pack drainer with forced Deadpool. I actually resorted to whaling them last night as I was out of health packs.

    I'm pretty sure I'll comfortably reach the token and I've done no grinding. Just 8 hours clears and then an extra clear yesterday before the end

    11k is an ok starting point for finishing out the first sub. I think I had something similar.

    Points do ramp up in Villains. I've done three full clears and I am 4500 away from the Loken. I'll get it tonight and then I'll leave Deadpool Vs. behind and won't look back!

    Edit: Went back and did the math. I had 18k at the end of the first sub. Still, it is still doable given some persistence.

    Perhaps it's just me then. My 2* roster struggles on the nodes where they steal my 2* characters but I've still cleared everything on each node three times on first sub and twice on second so far and I'm only on 24k now. I'll just have to grind it out.

    I joined late, played sub optimal (hit one refresh early, one late, only did 3 pass grind) and got 3* cover in the first sub
    I will get the legendary on my next refresh 24 hours before sub 2 ends

    You weren't anywhere near optimal in the first sub @ 11k. Clears were around 3180, and there were 6 clears possible + final grind, which is ~24k, I believe. Edit: Realized you could've joined late and been optimal. If so, my bad

    That said, second sub is 4770 per clear. 6 clears is 28620. Still easily time if you were/are optimal. Even if not, final clear should be around 14k, so 3 clears + clearing everything to the nub should get you there.

    Will easily hit the legendary with well over a day left in the event. not doing optimals.. just doing whenevers.

    To me it looks great new scheme state. I'm short on time and do not need to grind every day. Also the rewards are better because they are 250 coins instead of 200 in two days.Three face eight hours in the second round and I was already with my legendary token.

    I agree. Something is fishy with the numbers or he is not trying hard enough. I am at 35k at the moment. With about 13k put into the second wave. I am in the top 5 of my pool overall. Roughly behind by 5k behind first place.

    37k gets me HB Blue, 7 covers on him now and enough reason for me to skip the grocket pvp as this is the 1k prize anyway and I need a few days off!

    So just to be clear, if I want the final reward in PvE events, I should clear the sub-event 3 times in a 24 hour event and 6 times in a 24 hour event? Also, if I don't have one of the required characters I should make it up grinding in the last few hours of the event?

    Any suggested 3* teams to beat Mountains of ISO-8? Between Sentry going kamikaze and Kingpin's fat finger, I can't seem to find a team to compete...keep getting wiped. Any thoughts?

    I don't know your roster, but I'm having decent luck with Hood/Iron Fist/Luke Cage. I take out Kingpin first so I get all the purpleflag.png and blackflag.png to myself.

    Patch Loki Rocket is working great for me for every fight. Also, I got the Legendary at the very beginning of day 4, no problems here. May keep going for the heck of it even though I don't really want Vision.

    Legendary got me a Nick Fury purpleflag.png ... 1 step forward towards 4*, I guess.
