I was using Spidey/Punisher/Loki for Sim 4. If you can get the AI to match yellow early, you have a good shot at the Maggia Muscle putting out a Threaten countdown before the Tommy Gun countdowns comes into play. I used stuns as needed until building up to Loki's Trickery and then used Punisher Green/Red and Spidey's stun/healing as needed.

Leading by 7000, currently at 39'000 but I don't get how people with a significantly weaker roaster are anywhere near me. Enjoying the difficulty however, making me think more about my character combinations and what moves to make.

Looks like rubberbanding is happening across brackets? I'm in 2nd overall (26.1K, leader is at 26.7K) going into my penultimate refresh run and Node 4 in Hard is still offering 2K points. Given that some brackets are already pushing 40K that makes sense. Keep on grinding, you crazy kids - Nonce Equitaur and I picked the right main bracket!

Unknown

Currently in 5th place with 27k and waiting for my last push in phase 1 tonight.

I noticed that AlexForquet is in my bracket though.. ugh. That roster is just too much (201 X-Force Wolverine, 141 Patch/Spidey/Punisher/IM40/GBW, 85 Wolvie/Thor/Storm/Moonstone/Hawkeye/Cap/OBW/Ares...)

I reported him already, we'll see what happens

Agreed. Spidey to stun, punisher to 1 shot them when they're below 40%. Ares would make a heavy damage 3rd, it'd take too long for you to use Loki's tickery (though omg that's useful). Could sub in obw or hood. Save X-force for last. Daken -> muscle - X. Use boosts. Blue+pink, g/b and +mutant damage (or +3 all if you have the iso or have them stocked). Keep daken tied up when green can be matched. grab yellow to heal/kill daken.

I went with punisher, spidey, im40, b/p,r/y and mutants damage.

If you have a 2 yellow iron man you need to match 5 yellow to go with the boost, then you end up with more blue than you know what to do with and it's party time.

My kill order is X,Daken,Muscle. While X is the least dangerous he also doesn't have passive healing, so I can make damage stick until I get stunlock rolling. Once X goes down there are less targets to stun.

I earned 40k Iso this week and I just spent it all on Patch (2/3/4) to take him from Level 50 to Level 75. But now I am having buyers remorse. Was I being reckless? Does he only seem necessary and awesome because of all the Loki required missions in this Pve? Should I have spent the iso equally leveling Loki and Patch? Loki is at Level 30 (5/3)

Just smashed through 30k with 14 hours to go. At this rate progression rewards beyond 100k are iffy, but they are only patch, so meh.

Nah. Loki will be pointless after this round, while Patch will continue to be awesome shabby goodness.

Stabby goodness. Damned autoincorrect

Looks like Thor is still OP - time for another re-balance!

Mjolnir's Might - 12 AP

Mjolnir is very heavy, so Thor drops it. Stuns self for 1 turn due to broken foot.

what's a good combo for doom/hood/mags in hard? I keep on getting hit by mags red since hood provide him with unlimited ap.

I had good success with Daken, Storm, and Moonstone/Cap A. All are buffed, and Daken can tank damage. I might be a bit lucky in that my Daken is maxed, so for the most part Moonstone doesn't get touched. Hood goes first, prioritize green, then blue. Try to keep Storm out of the line of fire as much as possible. Pull out a lightning storm to try to safely get more blue if needed. Stun Mags, hopefully Hood is dead by then, and kill Mags while stunned. A solo Doom isn't too much of a threat.

I also got lucky once in that the AI got purple and blue at the same time for Doom and Mags, and I was thinking, I'm totally screwed. However, Doom went first, turned all blue to black, then the purple did nothing since there was no blue left. Sometimes you get super lucky.

So are the resets 12 hours? Want to try to get one some in now before it resets before the entire thing is over. Don't know if I should do it now, or just wait about 10 hours and finish it before the end. What are you guys doing?

Unknown

I think they are 12 hours, at least for a full reset. It seems to be similar to the Ares event where you can grind them all at once, or pace yourself throughout the day. Really nice.

Nonce Equitaur 2

I killed Daken/Wolverine/Thug with Hood/Mags/Doom.
I killed Hood/Mags/Doom with Daken/Patch/Loki.

I liked the symmetry of it.

So just checked the leaderboard for my Hard bracket... and see Neil and Nemek. How the N did that happen. Bring on the N nerfs!

Well at least I get to watch them duke it out. Hoping I can land top 5! We'll see

Unknown

Gotcha, going to play next half hour and then wait towards the end.

I'm REALLY going to miss buffed Loki, I really enjoyed using him

Unknown

Hoping here to see if the levels take their daily dip in at the top of the hour...

If so, I am jumping on hard mode for some points while I still can.

It's funny, I'm doing SOOOOO much better (compared to the others in my bracket) in the Hard mode when compared to the Non-Hard mode, which is kinda funny.

i'm running into the same issue. Have a healthy first place lead in main and hard brackets, but struggling to stay in top 10 of the easy bracket.
