    icon_spiderman.pngpurpleflag.png as a progression reward? Neat! This should be an easy task with my powered up Rocket & Groot, Storm and Wolverine.

    So 4000 more points are needed for the legendary than last time? Guess too many people were getting them from pve for D3's tastes.

    Good, if they raise it by another 25% or so I can stop bothering with PVE, again.

    I barely didn't get Leg.Token last time, now it's totally out of my reach because of my schedule.

    These may be the worst rewards I've seen in a while.

    Legendary pace for this one is 9K first day, 20K by the end of the second, 35K by end of third, 52K at of fourth.

    Favorite team for this event? There's a lot of conflict in the green/black for the boosted roster... Can't seem to figure out how to take advantage of these to clear without burning heals.

    I think I'll use this post to keep a log on my points progression to LT. I don't need the rewards per se, but I do want the CPs for sub placement. Only 4 days event (probably 1-2-1 format), so it's not as hard as Hulk's 7 sub event.

    Add:
    Sub 1 with 15,726 pts.
    Sub 2 with 20,164 pts (37,090 cumulative with points from main chapter).
    Sub 3 with 26,685 pts (64,352 cumulative; legendary progression reached!).

    Some nifty combos. You could do ap denial w/ patch/loki/hood, self healing trio with x23/patch/laken, fast damage with cmag/punpun/groot.

    Patch/loki/IF seems to be clearing them out alright.

    Seems this event is going to be hard for token
    NEED 55K seems Very very high 3 full clears wont do it?
    30 bump each
    stage 1 2650 7950
    stage 2 around 3500 10500
    stage 3 4550 13650
    stage 4 6000 18000

    49800 something you wont make the LT unless the pts jump higher

    you will need min 9k 12k 15k 20k and remember stage 4 is hard

    Last time this event ran the T25 alliance average score was 53k, T100 average was 34k, most players didn't get it last time, fewer will this time

    I really want that Starlord, but I've never made t2 before and doubt I'll get it this time. I've got 11k in first sub before some minimal end grinding and that's not even t10 right now. Is the last sub really hard?

    I've just been using Patch Daken Fist for now, which will go better when I get more Fist covers from current PvP and get him higher level...

    4th pull of a special token, 4th **-character. Yeah, thats fun!
  • I joined slice 2. Still got 1d 17h left in the event. Just got to the halfway reward of icon_spiderman.pngpurpleflag.png . I hope I get the token_legendary.png but we'll see

    What are you using for the last "Business Partners" node? Magneto keeps getting off a lucky blue and wiping one character.

    I have beat them in second try with Wolverine (Patch), Deadpool and Rocket & Groot. Their Strike tiles downed Magneto in just two rounds!

    I might try this team later, it depends on what Hood's and Magneto's levels will be for me.

    I'm curious at the speed though.. I understand with a 5/5/3 Deadpool, beating Hood can be quick, but with less than 5 redflag.png it's weaker and slower, Berserker Rage is powerful but gives strike tiles to the enemies, I Got a Plan is strong but slow an unreliable due to being a CD tile. One bad board, and Hood would just keep draining any AP. It's not so much of a problem with greentile.png or purpletile.png , but any other colours will fuel their powers quickly.
    After launching a combo of "I got a plan" and "Berserker Rage" I was lucky to have a multi-match, which halved Magnetos life points. Then the rest was taken away by Deadpools whales. icon_e_wink.gif

    Edit: Their Level was 270 for me.

    Patch, daken,loki makes it look easy. Patch and daken absorb the damage, until you have enough green/black for berserker/trickery and then just match damage them to death.
