    How are so many people hitting 100k in points already? I've been playing steadily since the start and I'm nowhere near that. Though I have essentially been locked out of many of the harder nodes. It went from level 20-30s if I played right as the event popped up to level 100+ for some of them as little as 6 hours after the sub-event started.

    You answered you own question. Hard mode gives you significantly more points. I was attacking both sims with equal ferocity for the first two rounds of subs, but have given up on trying to keep up with the level one grinders on the normal sim... Not worth the time, especially with Mags rewards for DD tourney and NHB elite part II starting up today.

    The Devil Dino fight actually got harder for me when it lowered in level because now I can't get Anger every time Hulk gets hit so I have less green to work with than normal.

    Smash with 30 green does 6K, which is not very hard to get when you get an Anger every hit. I didn't realize that while it consumes 10 green AP, it still benefits from having extra green left over (thought 10 is the most it can benefit from). Just have to be really sure you didn't miscount the number of green tiles on the board when you use it!

    Is anyone even close to getting 8kiso reward or the progression rewards past 150k? I'm 3rd at 112k and 1st is at 122k. They look unacheiveable at this point unless you want to grind 24/7...

    Someone by the name of Gapsule (highest character level 61 Daken) has 153,000. I have seen a lot of this person lately and haven't seen any of their characters level up.

    Keep in mind that Daken is buffed so he's actually much higher level. Maybe another 20 levels? I started using him in this event and he is boss. For me, his strike tiles at 45 level cause about 50 damage each! That's 100 extra bonus damage. I once have 12 of those tiles on the board for one turn! Wow, I wish I could get the 3 more black cards for Daken. I can't even imagine his damage then.

    In the current round I have about 10k points for normal mode and about 40k from hard mode. Didn't really take notice in the previous rounds whether it was still about 1:4, but hard mode has definitely been worth a lot more points & the rubber banding multiplier seems to have been higher.

    Hard mode leader is at 44k. I don't think his big point missions will reset before the end of the current round.

    I should be able to hit 50k as my larger point missions reset 2 hours before the end of the round.

    Do you guys think it'll be possible to hit the 250k prog reward? I'm currently sitting at 120k atm. I guess I can grind up to 130k if I really wanted to, but meh. Guess the last 2 progression awards were supposed to be unobtainable.

    Well, by the end of this round, we will be 3/4 of the way through the tournament, so someone would have to be on about 187.5k at that stage to be on target. The amount of points has increased each round so it should be possible if someone has probably 165-175k by then. If someone does reach 250k, then rubber-banding should be quite strong, so perhaps others could catch up too if they hit every single refresh fairly hard.

    You can't use the 3/4 logic when scores scale upwards each node. I have been seeing score increase every reset.

    You guys think a 55k point lead over 10th place is good enough for top 10 if I skip rest of the tournament? I'm a bit tired of grinding. Plus all these PVP tourneys are up now too.

    I wouldn't skip the last round completely. That's lots of ISO to leave on the table. At least do one more pass-through right at the end and get some of those rubberbanded points in the process.

    I'm trying to guess who is going to be the required team-up 3* villain and wonder if anyone has noticed anything that will give it away.

    So wasn't Loki the buffed 3* villain that you had to group with on the first set of sub-missions? Then Mags, then Doom, right? Any clues that I've missed as to whether the last one will be Hood vs. Rag? If it's Hood, I might as well stop now b/c I'll fail terribly with a weak Hood, but I've got a nice Rag built up.

    Users have been saying it will be Hulk, but I don't know where they got the info from.

    The first sets of goon ones only go up to 300. It's the last mission (Sim 04) that's worth the big points, it has a base of 300 this time around.

    **** I haven't been able to do Magneto Loki Ragnarok right before them in hard mode

    any tips for doing the 230 version of them?

    Would love to unlock the last node there because I can already kill the normal version at 230 with no buffs

    It was Loki, Mags, Doom for me. Rags being permabuffed. I assumed the last one was gonna be Hood, but people said they got Hulk from a Highly Trained token.

    Thanks, Wolfman. From ICEIX himself, it looks like Hulk is the last remaining cover to be buffed for this event.

    Yea. I'll probably do one more run through the last set of subs. Hopefully that'll be enough. Tax season at the my tax office is burning me out.

    So what kinda scores are getting you into the top 10 in Normal Sim folks? The first time all i needed was 9000 to get 10th, the last time i got 11,500 and that just BARELY got me 10th and now i have 12,552 and in 1st but cant see me staying there as i dont have any missions left, bar a 150 pointer. 10th currently is 2000 behind so i should stay in the top 10. But people are getting more points in each one??
