I keep feeling annoyed that I've left so many points on the table over the course of the tournament. I'm going to get my 3 Psylocke covers which is the most important thing to me at least. But that 8K ISO was tempting.

I must be in a really stinky bracket because I've been playing every event and finishing top 45 but I'm still fighting to stay top 75 for the main bracket.

Are you not able to do the high end missions?

I wanted to quit the game because i couldnt get top 75 for Psylocke. I played round 1 and i couldnt keep up with others because the daken fight was to difficult to complete, and other fights drained my healthpacks.

I've changed my mind after 4 days of not playing. Obviously this mean i will be bottom of the ladder, but i'm glad i like playing again

I can do some of them. I had to rush beat the big iso reward fights early to make sure I didn't get iso-blocked by Mags and his pals which seem to ramp up really fast. Lately I've been focusing more on the hard event than the normal one since the rewards are better and move me up more in the rankings.

There may be a PVP or two next week where you can win her. At least that's what happened with DareDevil.

I think she'll be a reward for the foreseeable future in PvP

Oh yes. After deleting my maxed Venom for a roster slot and some iso 2 weeks ago or so, I didn't think I'd be able to repeat the 'devour 21k Hulk' shenanigan, but it actually turns out a maxed 5-5-3 mStorm, a lvl 53 1-3-2 Spidey, and a lvl 3 3-2 Venom can do the job just fine. Granted, I used 3 color boosts: +3 G/Bk, +3 R/Y, +3 B/P. Still had to suffer some hits in the beginning, but I couldn't afford healing yet.
My strategy was as follows: grab any color, because rainbow team!, start chipping away at IW 'cause she's useless without Maggia/Doombots and has the least health, destroy Pistol tiles from Analyst (Media Cover can be ignored though, especially with mStorm), don't annoy Hulk yet, save your greens as the escape route should things go south and you don't have blue/purple. When you build enough blue, purple and black, start stunning with Venom, then with Spidey, then devour Hulk. Extreme satisfaction guaranteed, you gotta do this, it's fangasmic.
Then IW falls, you can afford for her not being perma-stunned, she's half dead at this point. She withers away, and so as not to bother with the 9k Analyst, build enough blue to repeat the Devour, but don't forget to heal if you care.

To sum up, a total level 106 team with 2 one stars, total 4 290 health defeating a total level 690 team with total 38 024 health is... the best thing. Also you can manage without boosts, just hope for a lucky starting board. With a rainbow team like this, it's bound to be lucky unless all you got is environment and yellow.

beware the sn "realduck". BEWARE!!!


I am so tired of the simulator ...kinda the game too but yea. I am looking at being first in main and 40k over 3rd, 70k over 10th (I don't even plan to use the yellow iw anymore...) And I have a 10k lead on my hard sub with most of the big points still on the table. That said, I am starring at my normal sub and I only.completed.the first mission.or two in order go get a bracket. I just...I am.too burnt out. It was nice to use different characters and tactics but the game is starting to grind me down. I just know if I take a true respite i will probably be done with the game. Just mulling over things outloud...don't mind me.

Seriously though...whose idea was it tobjave the hard and easy missions be EXACTLY THe SAME. With the scaling they are more of a chore.to.do.than anything after the first go.of each. Thank.gosh I had the forethought to join every sub with 36 or 24 hrs left. I just..I know many many.many played more of.this than me and I just don't know HOW.

Just keeping telling.myself its almost over...almost...over.....BUT WHY AM.I PUSHING SO HARD (HARD=AT ALL LOL) TO GUARANTEE A FEW HEROIC TOKENS??!?!!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My Spidey is lvl 30 with one blue. So sad.

I wonder, was there an expectation that higher-level players would mostly do the hard levels, and lower-level ones the easy? In that case, differently-levelled versions of the same fights would be a bit easier to come up with, and would mean that most people saw at least one of the two versions of each fight.

Of course, the tendency of the hard missions to scale up to be really hard, and the good risk/reward ratio of the easy levels for a higher-levelled player, means that there doesn't seem to be such a big divide.

Maybe you have a decent Mags to participate in the Magnetic event? Many don't...

I somehow creeped into top 10 in my main again by 200 pts or so (sigh... I remember leading it in the first round), but I wish the person who is now in 11th would tell me if they have a lot of points uncleared just for this, so that I don't have to compete too hard if I'm gonna be 11th anyway. I'll still clear everything I can to stock ISO, though.

Just did the lvl 230 hard mode Wolvie fight twice with 65 Captain America (4/5/4), 43 Hulk (3/1/1) and 38 Modern Storm (5/5/3), used boosts the first time, no boosts the second time

It's pretty fickle, but it can work. Once Storm gets going it's pretty hard to stop her if you do it right and get a little lucky. Cap does the occassional stun or overwrite/match countdowns that are about to expire. Hulk just to tank damage and supply the rare green tiles (sadly I only have 1 black cover for him)... must be a blast with Hulk at 5 black. I actually use a similar team in desert stages and it's a lot more laid back there (Cap/Daken/MStorm or Cap/MStorm/MWidow for more control)

Focused Wolvie to get rid of the tile matching and then whittled down the 2 goons.

Currently still sitting at rank 32 with 4 hours to go, so the top 50 finish should be very much possible.

I feel like the biggest thing I'm taking away from this event is: Larger stacks are bad for the grind, but good for the tournament. People who wanna grind more can get legs up, but holy **** is this event grindy as hell. Basically I'm ignoring most missions and taking repeated stabs at the final boss mission over and over again to maintain my top 10 overall.

Oh, and they still can't get level scaling right, but w/e.

Unknown

Hoping my 6th place position holds up. I left for work and I was still 28k above 10th place.

Unknown

i am competing with 2 players for top 2 spot... we keep overtake each other... finally able to make some differences in point by 5k... but gonna back to grind more to guarantee my place within the next 2 hours... i wan try out IW yellow skill

Unknown

I think the grinding depends on what bracket you're in. I was like 22nd last night in my easy bracket, and, partly to get the remaining 500 ISO rewards, partly out of just something to do, end up grinding down all the stacks except the Hulk battle, and now (or at least when I left for work half an hour ago) I'm in 1st, at ~12,600 points, which, I get the impression, probably wouldn't get top 50 in some brackets.

Not sure if I have enough of a lead in the Simulator to maintain Top 10 status or not. I'm in #9 with a 15k lead on the person in 11th place, who is working his way up (assuming male due to username). Currently, my Hard rubber band multiplier is a little below full, and I have 4 runs of Simulator 4 Hard (and 5 on Normal but it isn't worth very much right now) available before it drops to being worth 1 point. Whatever happens, I'm 2200 short of 150k so I really should play a few matches before it ends to get the progression reward, but I'm practically done.

Unknown

I hope there's someone at the top who pushes as far as possible past 250k, cos it's gonna be really close for me reaching 250k I'm on 237k at the moment, bet I finish on 249k or something.

Unknown

I haven't really touched this 1 in a while. Lol
My 50k lead over 3rd place has dwindled to 30k over the last 12-18 hours or something.
2.5 hours left and still don't think they have enough points on the table. I'm just observing to see if action is required while increasing my lead in mags tourney.

Dx are you teh831 in our bracket? You and vbr have been going back and forth. I just want top 10 and will play the last missions to secure #1 in my hard bracket again. Good luck.
