    What are the points in a single clear of the last sub-bracket? I'm playing a little bit of catch-up and planning how much time to allot each night.

    And there are 4 one-time nodes at the end, right?

    5300 for a single clear (10 nodes). I could see 7 non-repeatable nodes on the main map, not including the one that gives the greenflag.png cover.

    i did not even notice the ones on the main map

    Kinda wishing they'd retire this event. Overscaled Dark Avengers are getting really freaking old.

    Juggs, Daken, Venom, between them have four abilities priced at 7 AP or less, only yellow is useless to them, and fairly big health pools on Juggs & Venom combined with Daken's healing mean you'll be fighting them long enough to eat several of those cheap abilities before you're through. And of course there's Ares with his cheap green, and Rags with cheap red and blue healing.

    I don't need anything out of this anyway, didn't even bother to start it until a couple days ago, and have already slacked way off. It's just not fun.

    Every time I faced JU / DA +1, with IW / EL / HT I won.

    I have to post a fun team I found for this event. my gamora is 120 and I'd love to raise her some but there are more pressing needs for a while but here she gets boosted to above my maxed guys, which means I can get her to tank some colors, which means she becomes pretty useful. her usefulness comes from black and fist a perfect fit to accelerate her black (and doesn't tank any of her colors). for a third, I've been going with antman (mostly for yellow, but I've used blue some, and he's opposite colors, so no getting in gamora's way). mine is only level 145 but boosted to 178, he fits right in.

    purple into black then fire reds and yellow. green can add more strikes before using black or once you get the first opponent down, stun the remaining 2 and spread the strike pain around. just eats through enemy health. triple dips off gamora's strikes. I like this team a ton. much more fun than 'feed panther black' or 'get to 12 green for kk'.

    What a tiny kitty never ending grind to get to the legendary token. If the Hood PVE ends up being this "fun", I might need to reconsider this game. Maybe time to finally jump into Fallout 4!

    question for the math types. going to be close to making the LT since I jumped in on Mondays fresh S5. if I understand right each node is worth X max points. once you clear once, the points drop by 20% of X and each subsequent grinding clear drops the node by 20% each time. So the total points available on a node at any given time assuming it is full pts to begin is... X + .8X + .6X + .4X + .2X + 1 + 1... and the total possible available during a grind is 3X the original max points.

    can someone confirm that is correct? at 76K now and if I could pull an LT out of a mid-event, fresh-bracket join, i'll be pretty pleased. right now I need 2.26X full pt clear (at 76K now) and if I'm right that is doable.

    Actually it seems slightly better than that. It goes X, 5X/6, 4X/6, 3X/6, etc

    So you get 3.5X at the end of a grind.

    Edit: Almost forgot what I came here for... Rhetorical question: Why do the Devs think that putting a team of level 127 and 128 3* characters (my roster unboosted) against a level 175 Juggernaut led team is going to tempt me to start playing PvE beyond the occasional late join?

    Just finished 3 full clears of all subs plus cp grinding and I'm 5k short of the LT.

    that's weird I joined Monday mid-day from zero and ended up with over 90K. and I didn't stay up to play the flip optimally. I did grind this one hard every sub because I knew it would be close. I basically did a morning clear, afternoon clear and evening grind to 1 or at least <100.
