the scAvengers - [20/20] - You have Hulk. We have Phantron.

What are Your plans concerning One Star Skirmish? I have 5 maxed 1stars, so will definitely try to win this.
Single player rewards are very sweet. Alliance on the contrary have lame yellow Hood, so we don't have to grind it.
On the other hand, most of the top Alliances plan to tank this tourney, so it might be a good chance for us.

Was planning to skip it, already got a complete Hood. Didn't see there were alliance rewards, guess I'll dust off my one stars and help my fellow scavengers get that yellow cover. It's really not quite as lame as it appears.

Unknown

Don't have any 1 stars.

Hey cooper, we r in the same sub bracket. Normal mode.

All you guys with a blue spider man less than 5 should invest in him. The 2 blue stun makes every fight a joke. Especially if you have a patch.

Can't stress enough how you leave every fight max health. If you don't you do a prolog up usually with just venom and fill yourself up.

I could use a set of Hood alright but not priority and can work it out of LRs if desparate. (guess what LRs hit this week?)

My *s are sublevel but I refused to dump ISO there as they worked pretty fine the way they were. Think I had t5 even last tournament, but it is quite some work and need all the finesse with shielding.

So I'm yet undecided what will happen, likely will at least grab the 500 if I find an hour to grind my forest-only routine. If it's in shield-friendly point may just turtle up and hope the best. Doubt I can go really high unless the even it deserted.

My real concern for everyone is it ends same moment the sub. And subs showed last 2-3 hours push needed at end, enough to jump the 2 subs, leaving no room for a third. So probably everyone will need to set up priorities and sacrifice something.

Lame? I thought the yellow cover is supposed to rock bigtime. And 5/5/3 is the only sensible build. 2x9 select AP with damage and demolition? Yes please. And 5th needed to keep the turn, right?

In no holds met a hood120/obw/patch team, was auto-skip. So definitely worth considering to have.

LAst time the alliance cover went quite far down, so probably it will work out even if a plenty of people mostly tank especially if before that visit the 500 (unless the 50 HP is gone again, then scrap this part)

Ugh, this turned into a nightmare real fast. Seeing lots of impossible fights in this Simulator round.

I didn't enter yet, only looked at levels in the fist minutes, recall 70s in easy and and 100-110 in hard, sounds manageable.

I think my go in the first subs turned out extremely "optimized" for lowest number of battles -- IIRC had 3x3x3 on the special nodes, overall 1 on all the rest and on play-ups plus 3 suns on the easy 3-goon node (in hard that one was 230 at the end), and a few extra passes on the specials. Netting #1 in combined and easy, last-second drop to #3 in hard by less than 20 points. Should have switched from easy to hard for the last game... or save exactly 1 minute on the WC break at -25 mins... I finished last battle showing 1m left did't start another, but with 2 on clock could have one more. But doff is just 1 extra hawkeye, and like 150 total points.

Not sure about that but Phantron's writing suggest that minimized play may build up some benefit for the long run -- I'll need it too as bosses change, Pl was my best, and the last LT will put me at disadvantage. (the other 2 are at 41 too but have a go to 77 if I just chose, LT is capped with mere 5 covers).

For more total points some different approach is needed -- we could discuss whether it's considered a target or not and how to deal with it. At several points I could have gathered a few thousand more points. Though it still looks like just illusion of more covered by the first few fights on the next refresh to disappear. Some confirmation on that would be welcome.

Also I think I misestimated the start of last push by like 15 minutes -- not taking into account some level growth that add to play time.

And learned I need to prepare little better: have some notes on the node fights -- what team to use for baseline and in rush (what boosts to pack); and measure measure the fight time from the last run with levels. So to have better and prepared battle plan when seconds count -- I pretty much improvised it all.

I ended first in both subs last night (tokens gave me 6 Ares covers, of course ). Definitely enjoyed the dump of iso and HP from alliance rewards, good work all.

Regarding 1-start tournament, I could for sure use a yellow Hood cover. The yellow Hood alliance reward goes down to rank 100, so I suspect if we collectively put in even a token amount of effort it should be easily doable. Besides, there should be little-to-no overlap between our simulator teams and the 1-star teams, so it is something to do between refreshes

Unknown

Imho we can easily grind 1* with pauses to heal. Then at 8hrs or 3hrs mark just raise the shield (if we're high enough) and focus on Simulator.

As for the Yellow cover - true, it's good. I dunno why I thought 355 is a proper build...

Damage per AP is very low, it's a utility skill, quite expensive at that. It's very good at taking out multiple countdown tiles though, and you usually get to fire off another skill or two afterwards due to the AP returned. 3/5/5 isn't that bad either, black damage goes up with number of covers.

Easy is 120 - 150 for me, hard starts at 200. Took me two hours just to finish 75% of the missions once, way too long to compete for top placement.

For those with heavy scaling it's even more advised to skip the first day completely. RB ensures that much for sure, you can catch up fully, playing less games later. Early play is only for those not having the featured character at all so left with bad missions (though I think it's kinda futile to get anywhere anyway).

IIRC I got 4/4 or 3/4 on the fat nodes, probably left 3-4x500 ISO in the table on the regulars but really didn't feel like playing them over 1 run.

Just to brag a little, my scavenging results from opening up the Simulator tokens:

2x Hawkeye
2x Astonishing Wolvie
1x Bullseye
1x Hood (blue)
1x Black Panther (yellow)
1x Lazy Thor (yellow)

If you are looking for the newer covers it might pay off not to let the tokens degrade to Heroics.

That's something. My record this far is 7/7 **s, who wanna bet on the *** count in next 7 for me?
I'm hoarding heroics for later (sit on 9 I think) but use the trained for the new covers.

Glad to see are ranks are full. I coughed up the last 2K to bump us up to 20 and was more than happy to do it. Also in regards to pasa I have also been finding that if you have all the characters to join a little later or play later due to rubberbanding. The only question is when to join so you get an easy bracket

What's the best tactic on these PvE's? Do I grind them all down or do I wait and rubberband? Looking for advice. As long as I finish top 50 overall and we get top 250 in alliance (shouldn't be hard) I"m happy as I'll get my 3 caps, but looking for advice to maximize the points while investing the least time possible (hey I do have somewhat of a life )
