    Pretty neat list of boosted characters. I suspect I'll rely heavily on Fist/Cage, with Steve Rogers or She-Hulk filling the third spot as appropriate.

    No kidding. And prof X paired with QS for his essential nodes sounds like a fun combo as well. Fun boosted characters this week. Likey.

    I have 5 purpleflag.pngicon_antman.png already so I'm looking forward to a casual PVE week, but boosted list does look great!

    Casual PvE is the best kind.

    Just noticed there's an event vault too, very nice. icon_e_smile.gif

    The boosted characters are all great but I ended up blowing through all the regular nodes with 4* Thor/IM40/Kamala. An alliance member said the IM40+4*Thor was great, so I had only meant to try it out on the trivials (my IM40 is only lvl 101), but they were so much fun to use I blew through to the end Hulk node without using a health pack. Only finished out the essentials with the boosted characters, and didn't even have to bother with the Heroes for Hire.

    none of my high 4*s boosted and lots of strong 3*s to go with no uber scaling. looking forward to casually farming iso and cp.

    edit: only drawback is winfinite is likely messed up, but maybe not. my px is 145. might have to get creative lol.

    You,ve got to be kidding me. Why is that black hulk cover SOOO elusive for me.

    The only one i got was from the ddq, but I still have to wait a long time to be able to get it again that way

    But wait, what do I see, a black cover in a placement reward for the next event: YAY!!! I'll be able to add a second one
    Then I look at the essentials:
    - Invisible women: i don't own
    - Quicksilver: I don't own
    - Hawkeye: I don't own

    ****, will i ever be able to get those damn cover...

    Really great week of boosted characters to accompany this PVE. QS and Prof X. are just lovely in every regard, and the Iron Fist/Cage combo gives me warm fuzzy feelings. Probably won't be as bad slogging through a week of 2* Bullseye this time.

    Is the node on the opening page run to the end of the event? 700ISO sitting there

    Once again, Quicksilver, Hawkeye and SWitch are just bulldozing this event for me. I'm really liking the new and improved Quicksilver.

    the 1 time hulk green is it on the main part or in one of the subs?
    I haven't joined the event yet, but only want this reward.

    when you have to consistently take 6/7 to get the good stuff, you end up ranking well and on track for the LT - guess I'm playing this one through. desperately need the iso with heavy metal here and needed options for hb.

    Same thing here, and the only ones I really "farmed" were the CP nodes. (almost all of them were 6 or 7 tries). Should get the CP progression reward by tonight, then I'll slack off. Scaling is starting to get to be a a problem with Juggs & Ares now in the mix because of those CP grinds, so it's good timing I guess.

    Rags is really cheesing me off. For some reason in this event (compared to others) he keeps getting tons of cascades, healing himself and at level 160 something he has wiped my 240 team of cap, cage and fist more than once ..... juggs has been helping him too of course ....so frustrating icon_eek.gif
  • TxMoose
    TxMoose Posts: 4,319 Chairperson of the Boards
    yes. cascades a plenty here in my second clear of Greenland. I typically use 2-3 health packs per clear, many times getting through with none. 8 healthpacks at lunch today. one near wipe after a cascade killed cap and gave ~30 ap to jugs, lucky ice had some blue to work with then. and the one with the green feeder was the one I actually lost to when ice went down to a cascade - cap didn't have enough ap yet to make it. that was not fun at all and glad I'm not hellbent on placing well - I have pvp to do tonight and I'm not going to get butthurt over leaving a cp if it doesn't work out. have 1 still in there.

    Unstoppable force, snare, unstoppable force, snare, headbutt, unstoppable force, snare...etc........

    I find it a little overkill as well, I starve him out as much as possible to get the win, but if he gets rolling...well let's just say I don't see a win.

    The only way I kept my sanity fighting jugs is using hood to keep the enemy AP low. Paired him with boosted 3* cap and SW for rainbow coverage. Managed to grind down the nodes safely even if it is slow.
