The levels are higher because people have a higher level Thor which makes a rather big difference in these fights. I imagine the first time around everyone had a hard time minus the guys who spent a lot of money on Thor, but now Thor is actually high enough to help you beat the missions, but that of course just ends up making them even higher.

Actually I have a level 153 Thor (boosted) and the Magneto fight and the daken + goon fight are just a big pain even with boosts and I have wiped several times against them...

I just hate Daken, I'm so tired of fighting him...

Man...this event ends at 6am in morning for me. (Hong Kong time). If i dont make the final push around 4:30am, mind as well say bye bye to lazy thor covers. Currently sitting at rank 20. Hate the timing!!!!

Unknown

they're giving away more covers then usual, no big diff. not TaT level but more then the last 2 events, you'll get some soon don't worry.

Sleep at 9pm then wake up at 4.30am to make the final push.

Whew, joined with 16 hours left and stopped clearing nodes while #2. I should be able to snag a top 20 easily enough if I remember to do them again tomorrow morning.

EDIT: sleep at 1 a.m. and wake up at 6 because whatever.

Guys, i'm really struggling to beat the 'Imposter' fight (Daken, Ares, Rags) does anyone have any tip? They just keep getting huge cascades then repeatedly use their specials. Also, i'm assuming it unlocks the fights on the branch to the right, do you need any specific characters for those like the Thor branch at the top right?

No, no special characters for those fights.

The key to any Daken fight is stunning him to stop strike tiles. Black Widow can do that. If you have Iron Man model 40, he should tank for her blue. While Daken is stunned, kill Ares. His green hurts while Ragnarok's does not. Try to deny red to the enemy if possible.

A good strike tile generator like Wolverine or Psylocke can really make a difference.

Started this morning, got to about 16.000, top 3.
Let's see how the last refresh shakes out, should be good enough for top 10.

Nice to have a finish at a friendly time for Europe for a change.

Calling it done on refresh 2 of 3, at #2 with 16899. I forgot if point refresh cycles are on a per-node basis (i.e. each node independently cycles from last specific-node completion) or a per-event/per-sub basis, so, I'm not going to grind any low-value, high-annoyance nodes anymore.

Thanks. I tried this earlier and stunned Daken and by sheer luck then took out Ares (no real reason other than i didnt know which to pick next). By then my team was getting messed up but when i could use Wolvie's red their Rags went nuts getting huge cascades giving extra moves, charging all his powers and he killed my lat 2 characters.

I'm currently using Wolvie lvl 55 (5/3/4), Storm lvl 50 (5,3,5) and Black Widow lvl 32 (5/5).

My other characters are too far behind in lvls to be of much use with the next highest being Psylocke lvl 18 (2/0/1) and Cap lvl 16 (3/4/3)

Yes it is. My current Bracket leader on 16600 and I am sitting 800 points back from that in 5th at the moment. Only really trying for top 20 as going 3/5/5 for Modern Thor who is already at 2/2/2

Anybody else having weird scaling issues? Till now it was working quite well increasing slowly, but last night some nodes suddenly doubled their level although my rooster was already out-leveled.

For me the nodes have looked almost 100% identical to what they were at the end of round 1. Must be based on my roster, which didn't change outside of the few levels i threw onto lazythor assuming they might help a little. After grinding down refresh #2 I'm sitting in 1st with 17943. Really hoping to at least get top 10 so I can at least unlock lazythor's red (just have 0/1/2 currently).

Getting really annoyed with so called 'Normal' matches being nearly impossible. Even using multiple boost, trying to deny them colours and stunning where possible their ability to get huge cascades every move to charge their powers is really starting to get tedious. I get that yes they should have as much luck as the player getting them but it seems in this tourney the most i ever get is 2 sets of 3 where as theirs often ends in multiple 4s or even a 5 to give an extra move and yet more chances for specials to be used. How the hell this is considered 'normal' is beyond me.

I have not bothered much with this event and yet the rubber banding has been very kind.

Unknown

Second round has been a tad kinder for me. I just stopped grinding an hour ago and as I just checked I'm sitting on 2nd place with 17,5K (#1 has 17,6K). Now I'm waiting until the final hour and then going to use whatever rubberband effect I can get to go for top5 placement. My 0/1/1 Lazy Thor would really appreciate his first red cover. If I manage to fail and drop to top200... AGAIN... well, tinykitty this game then.

Unknown

This round seems a lot easier - I just got over the last progression award, and I'm number 8. Last time this far out I was at over 20k and in 80-somethingth place. I haven't even done all the nodes this time. I'll hit the Volstagg nodes again if I get back in time this evening, but I'm not going to worry about it if I don't.

Hey guys what's the point of the late start times? New to this and would like to know if it would help in where I would end up being ranked. Cheers
