    OK, took me half an hour and I was #1 in Unstable ISO. Currently #4, losing 3k pts to #1. Won't be able to grind current nodes more today.
    We're top15 right now, pretty sweet icon_e_smile.gif

    As of FD, I'm shielded at #1 with 735pts. I think it will be more than enough to stay in top10.
    We're at #35, so we might need a couple of hundreds points more just to be certain that we're gonna stay in top50.

    Currently shielded at 708 in FD. Hope to stay within top 10 as well.

    Have you guys any suggestion on ISO-8. Started just now and I am just trying to do one node once starting from the highest giving one. After I am done with this, I am clueless icon_e_smile.gif

    So did the nodes reset after 12h?

    Sitting #1 in Unstable Iso-8 with 9k points and #4 in FD with 719 points. I'm only aiming for top 10 so it should be good enough. I'll snipe it at the end if I have to.

    I've been running 141 Patch/85 OBW/107 C.Mags in the PvE and it is silly easy. Boosted OBW currently tanks all her colors over C.Mags, and feeds his abilities with Espionage. Countdown control is easy enough because if you are short on blue for Anti-Gravity Device you can still knock two out with Magnetic field. Combine C.Mags spam damage with Berserker rage and OBW Espionage double-tap and the fights go really fast.

    It will be interesting to see when the new missions appear, 24hrs I guess? I remember from past versions that it seemed kinda random, but that might have been because I wasn't paying as much attention. I assume the strategy will be the same as most of the 12hr refresh/24hr reset PvE, which is grind when the missions open up and the grind the refresh as close to the end of the mission reset as possible. Any thoughts on optimizing this PvE?

    Chops, did you grind down all nodes to 1?

    No, I have points on most still, most likely due to a refresh between play sessions. I've been a bit haphazard on this first round due to time constraints and joining at an odd time.

    i'm currently shielded at # 4 680 pts in FD. i was going to gring a bit more but i felt the attacks about to come so i had to throw the shields up quick. #16 in unstable iso 7587 pts. i was # 1 until about 2 hours ago. i haven't played yet today i had grinded all down to 1 and i'm waiting for them to refresh. as i'm typing i have been attacked 3 times in Fd for 32,18,and 24 pts, but i'm safely shielded. icon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gif

    +1 for trusting your instincts. It seems every time I ignore the feeling of the zombie horde creeping up on me in order to grind a few more points, I regret it.

    So is that the methodolgoy on this, grind each node down to 1 and wait for them to refresh? I did that to begin, now I'm at 150 rank haven't grinded, but all my nodes are sitting with guys lvl 230 icon_e_sad.gif. Any suggestions?

    I was shielded at #5 with 757 points in my node last night I checked this morning I went to #2 as I won 3 defensive battles while shielded and was at 807 icon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gif I went to check on my shield time a little bit ago, i had 1/2 hr left and I was #5 again, I played one match and quickly shielded, I jumped back up to #4, in that time I got qued up 3 times, but was shielded fast enough, and got another defensive win pushing me back to #2 in my bracket, sitting at 837 icon_lol.gif

    what are some tricks that everyone uses to try to get an edge in fights, like some unintended uses of powers?

    I'll use C mag blue and put the 2 blue defense tiles with 3 other blue tiles already in the board to make a critical. cost 5 blue ap...returns 5 blue ap and the critical. you can also you the same 2 blues to cover up enemy countdowns/strike/defense tiles that you cant get to.
    I've said this before but with MN mag take his purple power which creates blues, use them to make criticals and get the blue ap yeild...works great with high level spidey because spidey has purple priority so mags takes no damage with matches...all the reward none of the risk.
    cap works very similar. place tile for criticals instead of leaving for countdowns.

    so what are some others that you all use?

    Don't grind them down to 1 point unless you are rooting for the node rewards. Just keep it cool, hit the nodes worth the most points until you are close to the top, wait at least 12 hours for the complete refresh to kick in. If nothing unexpected happens you can ride the rubberband till the last day or two, nothing gained (except horrible scaling) from spending much effort any earlier.

    Getting my most used chars to level 141, even though that cost a lot of ISO. My fights usually ended up scaling to 230, going in with level 141 chars instead of level 100 chars made a huge difference. Life increases significantly, suddenly you are able to take a previously deadly hit and still continue to dish it out. Besides, even the increased match damage tends to add up to quite a bit of extra hurt.

    I have a lvl 90 C.Mags 5/4/4. I just pulled a red cover from standard packs icon_e_biggrin.gif My question. Should I spec him to 5/5/3? or leave him as is? Any suggestions?

    I've been using 5/4/4 a lot recently after having switched from 4/5/4. I don't really miss the 2ap red vs 3ap red, I probably use the skill about the same amount as before. OTOH, 4 in purple gives you two more blue swaps, which is a nice damage increase. 9 blue tiles on the board is pretty easy to get as well.

    does the damage per swap decrease if I drop to 5/5/3 vs. 5/4/4? I know the number of swaps decreases, but I wasn't sure about the damage
