    Antman and Quake as progression... kind of random, did you guys just pull them from a hat?

    Just want to make sure, will clearing the featured character node on any side open the boss node on both sides like the previous run ?

    David could you explain what you mean by creating 2 tiles instead of 1? The description makes me think you're talking about Steve Rogers (Civil War), aka the boss version, but the power and character name refer to Steve Rogers (First Avenger). Are you saying now that the playable version's yellow creates 2 tiles per character, for a total of 10?

    I'm assuming they want to stop Falcon from completely shutting down his defining ability

    Corrected to Steve Rogers (Civil War). Thanks. It should refer to the boss version. That was my error.

    I am pretty sure he meant the boss version. Now, cap boss will have 2 CD to potentially calls 2 allies rather than 1 in the first run. It makes sense since IM boss calls 2 of his armors at a time.

    Is there a reason the 4 star version of Iron Man was left off the powered up list? He is the only version of IM or Cap that is missing.

    That's what I figured. Thanks David!

    Wait, so Hulkbuster isn't boosted for Team Iron man? Why exactly?

    I'm pretty sure these are changes to the BOSS version of Cap. BUT this is an overreaction because in the last run Hulkbuster was boosted. I'm sure the dev's looked at the data and decided that Cap got beat at a higher % then they want. Unfortunately they gave us a DOUBLE WHAMMY by not boosting Hulkbuster AND making Cap more dangerous. While I still think our alliance will do Team Iron Man again, making Cap harder to beat to this level really wasn't necessary. Simply removing the boost to HB would have been enough. Getting that 5* IM cover is going to be a LOT harder this time around.

    No hulkbuster and I belive there was rulk as well?
    But now there's 5 4* chars on cap side and 4 on im side so hopefully something missing...

    Yeah I would like to know why in the hell Hulkbuster is not boosted? Aside from the issues with nodes scaling from easy to insane from round to round I thought the event went pretty well. Good rewards, nice variety of nodes, great boosted chars that fit the teams....

    Are the surrounding missions going to scale independently on each side or will their scaling continue to be linked? Kinda sucked having a Round 1-level (i.e.l Trivial) Boss Battle with either Cap or IM but having Round 8-level (i.e., Hard) surrounding nodes.

    I looked at these rewards and all I heard was the losing horn from The Price is Right.

    The right hand Buffed Cap due to Hulkbuster being boosted last time, then the left hand Nerfed the players by not boosting Hulkbuster this time... = Double Whammie!

    Right hand, meet left hand, you guys should get along great if you know what the other is doing.

    Boost hulkbuster so that the Buff to Cap actually can be met by the players.
