I don't think I'm gonna try and get a Moon Knight cover because I'm overwhelmed by a wave of new characters to roster right now.

This means the objective is to get to 54k for the progression rewards... an average of 13.5k points per day. I'll try something like:

Sub 1: 11k
Sub 2: 27k
Sub 3: 16k

EDIT: in sub 1, I did 5 suboptimal clears for 10650 points.
EDIT: in sub 2, 7 full clears put me at 37264 (+26614)
EDIT: a little bit less than 4 suboptimal full clears got me over 54k.
Total: 16 full clears, playing whenever I wanted, or an average of 4 full clears per day.

Who are the required characters for this event?

They are usually the characters given as placement rewards for the last event. In this case, X23, Mohawk Storm, and 2* Steve Rogers.

EDIT: They are also the characters listed next to the in the first post.

Crowl

Typical of the devs, the least useful cover on a low cover character is the one they give for t100 and the alliance reward. The alliance reward matching t100 also remains annoying, **** can't they do t100, alliance reward and 1k in the subsequent pvp be three distinct colours.

At least they didn't jack up the top progression target because it's a new character release. I still think I need to take an event off after EotS.

actually progression is still jacked up. last 2 runs were also releases (nova and Howie), so they were the same, but that is 10K past the last non-release progression (was back when it was an actual token)

BlackSheep101

You're kidding! Three Hunt runs in a row for new character releases? That's awful.

On the plus side, it's not a 7-day event...

But it has Florida

New releases tend to be four day events, so I think this happens with other fourday events too.

The 2 day Florida node just means I can sleep in tomorrow and not try to grind down early in the am. A nice change after the last 7 days.

rubberbanding is on for this event

for reference. should be included in all future The Hunt threads:

holy cow having 3 4* champs boosted in the same event really affects scaling. essentials are starting 60 levels higher than normal, all at 286/287. without regard to the level of the essential character. my 2cap is at level 15 boosted to 91. his essential is now at 287 after 1 clear. my x23 is champed at 277, boosted to 367 but her essential is one level less than cap's - hers is at 286 after 1 clear. why? that makes no sense.

Moon Roach

Normally I like to mix-and-match my teams, have a little fun with the easier nodes, but with so many nodes and so little time I'm just brute-forcing everything with X-23, XFDP and IM40.

I remember thinking about a memory of remembering when this game used to be about fun. But still, I can't stop playing...

Quebbster

I think this is the first time I have been able to grind Florida properly, in earlier runs I have always left points on the table, particularly in the Ares node. Guess boosted X-23 is just that awesome...

mckauhu

This have been a pain in the **** to play however, lost just twice and won later them too.

Well. My slice just ended, and it was a heck of a chillax slice. Here's the top 5:

1. 51307
2. 48199
3. 45685
4. 45273
5. 42778 (Me)
The person in 10th place finished with 35554.

I entered just after slice 2 started; happy to get all three of Moon Knight's colours

Nice, wish I could have been in that slice. So no one in that slice reached the CP? With just over 10 hours to go I'm in 38th with 48K.

BlackSheep101

Bracket, not slice. Slice is your start/end time, bracket is the group of people that show up on your leaderboard.

MaskedMan

Is it me or does the Hunt seem to have fewer points than other events? It is like a whole day is missing from the event point wise.
