One of the few whom enjoys the Hulk scaling!

Unknown

I enjoy the challenge, and have read the complaints.
I rocked through the quest the first time, no issues. With a (15)Panther 0/0/1, (26)Thor 3/1/1, and (50)modern Storm 5/5/3. changed out thor for (16)punisher 0/2/1 when necessary and (23)modern Black Widow 5/5 against the Hulk.
Round 2, was a bit harder, still cleaved by enjoying the closeness of the matches having to use more of my roster.
Round 3, this morning, I was laughing my butt off. Was able to do 3 missions and ran out of health packs.
Ended up with 17k points. No spidey. Just a little bit of work and luck.

Only been playing for 3 weeks, but I love this event much more than the others I have participated in.

Kudos d3!

Oh the joys of being a new player!

The people who tend to hate it are the mid tier players who've grinded enough to make the enemy lvls go up but their roster lacks strong or buffed characters. What ends up happening for them is they literally can't beat the enemies they're facing. in the past losing enough times against them stronger enemies has made the lvls go down, not sure if that's still the case.

They also hate the fact the newer players like you are able to score more pts than them in the events bc you're facing weaker enemies. What they should do is have different brackets with different lvl caps and different rewards. New players should be going against new players fighting for 2 star characters. If veterans want to try to get a 2 star reward from those tourneys, they can't use their lvl 3 characters. In the 3* tournament, there should be no enemy scaling so newbies shouldn't be able to compete. That way there's no complaints about newbies taking the 3 star covers bc they're fighting scrub enemies but new players can still participate and compete

Personally I also like facing the tougher enemies as long as they're actually beatable. I agree it makes you use different characters for different situations. You'd be surprised how easy 230 hulk is with a low level buffed hawk eye and punisher.

I as well. I have an 85 thor, 86 punisher, and 75 OBW. Mob levels just don't seem to matter. I can do em all, though some are challenging. I can't imagine what the people with a 141 punisher and 85 OBW are doing.

I'm one that is suffering from the enhanced scaling. I have one level 85 (C.Storm) and all my other characters are level 50 or less. And after completing a mission in the random grind, all the mobs jumped from level 70 to over 210. Now in every single mission, if even one Flamethrower cooldown tile goes off, my entire team dies. Makes it completely impossible to complete any further missions.

Also, level 200+ Hulk can also get bent. His green ability can one shot any person on my team.

I guess I am in the mid-level hell. I did well in the Brotherhood event where I was able to progress through the entire event with whatever scaling was in effect. I was able to grind and win until the final few hours where it had scaled to a point where it was really tough at the end. I really enjoyed that and was able to pick up some good covers and tokens. However, with this event, I played the opening missions and a few of the sub missions until the enemy levels tripled or quadrupled on me after playing those missions ONCE. Now I can't even compete at the levels I am facing. It is not fun. However, good luck to you the rest of the way.

This morning Hulk was 230 for me, goons were 163 I think? Daken, Moonstone, and Bullseye were 68? Just guessing from memory. Pyros dropped my teams, so would hulks. I played around it and retreated when necessary. Before the huge scaling I didn't even have to prioritize color.

One thing to note is the sub event rewards are basically the same. Just try for top 800 so you can get a token for a buffed character. That'll help you bust out. Once you have moderately lvld buffed characters you'll be able to get more done. The difference between 400 and 800 is nothing. The difference between 101 and 800 is only 750 ISO.

When I started the event everything was 230. It annoyed me, but I soldiered forth. Then I saw the tip on these forums to restart the game. After that, almost all the fights were in the 100 - 150 range. It seems about right to me. And it helps enormously that two of the members of my preferred trio are buffed this time. That hasn't happened before!

I don't mind the scaling in this event...I'm using a 105 Punisher, 110 Spidey, 85 Hulk, 110 gsbw, 55 OBW, and 15 Black Panther. Some battles take some time and they have their sketchy moments, but nothing too ridiculous yet. I expect the scaling to give me high level opponents now, and that's fine.

You say you can take a party of 230 daken+rags+(juggernaut or moonstone) with that head on, breaking no sweat? Or 230 bullseye+daken+whatever? If so please provide some details on tactics.

Unless they fixed it here is the major problem. See how Round 3 you couldn't do much of anything? Round 4 will be same way. Round 5 also impossible. They do not reset to doable at the start of each sub event like they logically should. So what starts out as an interesting challenge because you grinded becomes impossible to even get to subevents because of 230s blocking the gate. I agree high level fights on the second or third clear would be a ok. What is not ok is that rolling over to kick your butt in the following rounds.

I have one red Hulk cover sitting in my rewards due to lack of slots. How buffed would he be? It is worth deleting someone like Moonstone to have him? Already have Punisher/oBW/Thor/BP though most of those with very few covers except level 69 Thor.

With that team, he probably could. Thor yellow to punisher green. OBW takes advantage of strike tiles. Boosted Aoe punisher black with strike tiles, and hold onto punisher red. Boom. Dead enemy level 230's.

Did you play that? The said green will create 6x130 strikes for them (+ whatever they pick) from daken, and to steal with OBW you create them 4x100 shields. As OBW must work herself by the time you have AP she's in single digits, or down by just a single cascade.

And with jugs there you must pick reds first as for 6 he downs anyone instantly. And you have to work down 19200 life -- even to get to retribution range is quite a pack.

Hulk is "normal" buff (maybe 60%+) and single cover is hardly worth anything. For this event he's hardly optimal choice anyway, in the original run most work was done by Wol/OBW/Punisher, now BP takes over Wolverine, and if you have CMags/Spidey they will serve as spoiler.

Hulk is big but abilities not really offensive, best is really anger at lvl5 but have to take a ton of damage for you to heal afterwards.

But as a general idea keeping *** covers should be preference over easy-to-replace ** covers.

And don't forget you can't target daken first to stop the strike tiles bc he'll just laugh at your tile damage and regenerate. Bullseye and daken are incredibly annoying. I can't hate on juggernaut bc if he headbutts someone they *should* die

Sure, that too, Daken regenrates like crazy unless you choke him on yellows -- easier said than done -- so you have some means to 1-shot him or keep up with that. Don't recall his HP, guess around 8k at least.

The whole thing is even more interesting in desert which AI is happy to pick and use creating cascades, criticals and even more strike tiles.

IME for those battles stun and/or serious tile removal skill is a must. And you really need to hope for board with no green and purple on it.

So far, regular enemies aren't scaling past 90. Hulk scales to about 230, and mobs as well. That's probably because I keep my MMR low. I prioritize the things I want, and don't expect to win everything. As such, I typically really enjoy the PvE events and do fairly well.

So you really wanted to say something like "Mob levels just don't seem to matter... at all, as long as they stay under 100" ?

Right now the enemy scaling level actually makes a lot of sense if there is no Spiderman/Magneto in the game. The easy stuff is easy. The normal stuff wears your guys out a bit but is definitely doable, and the 230X3s are, well, the 230X3s. We had them before there were scaling too and nothing wrong with having one particularly tough encounter per sub bracket.
