    If characters are immune to stun, can you still get the build a snowman tile out to punch a snowman?

    I hadn't thought of that, I don't think it will let you but I'm not sure. Also his green aoe will be useless against a single boss.

    Iceman for nodes.

    HB for bosses.

    You can still build a snowman even if the opponent is immune to stun. I have done it to silver surfer before.

    Really? Could have sworn I was not allowed to do that...

    Iceman Build a Snowman will place the CD tile, by IMMUNE will pop up. As long as the enemy is on the board and visible, you can attempt to do it.

    I don't believe I'll use Ghost Rider on Bosses. Not a champion for me yet, plus his Penance damage will drop off once the new boss comes in, and I think Penance was supposed to be the point for him. I'll probably try the recent strat I saw of HB (max blue), Redclops (max yellow), and 2 star Mags to fill the board with red cascades and Repulsor Punch nuke.

    In Boss Rush, are there going to be an appropriate amount of commandpointsbig.png for a 4 day event?

    Combined arms! Curious to see if it's 1*/2*/3* still or something else.

    This great boost week is nearly worthless.

    Boss event? Different boosts
    Nef Foes? Nope
    Combined Arms? I don't even know anymore.

    There's always unstable iso8. If they turn CLs back on maybe we get Peggy as 4* prog in that event for cl7.

    Maybe CL 1-4 will be 1/2/3*s and CL 5 & 6 will be 2/3/4*. I don't think there will be 5*s but then again MPQ always surprises me

    Hey, hey, hey....Someone from above was listening, Combined Arms incoming. It's in the sneak peak line-up.
    Looking after the little people, I like it. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Actually, I'm fine with Combined Arms being 1/2/3 only as that makes it a counterpart to the Class of 2016 which was only 4 & 5 boosted.

    Not sure how fun it will be if that is the case, mind, as there are some pros and cons: roster breadth, team diversity, etc.

    What is combined arms? My team of 2*s needs a rest.

    It used to be that you pick a team that consists of a 1* a 2* and a 3* that are slightly boosted. This event hasn't been run in a looooong time though, so nobody knows how the proliferation of 4*s or introduction of 5*s will affect how they decide to run it. They could do any combination of tiers really, or just require three different tiers. Used to be one of my favorite events. Should be a fun change of pace.

    The last time I remember Combined Arms being run predates 5* characters. It required your team have one 1* character, one 2* character, and one 3* character.

    IIRC, the 1* 2* and 3* were scaled to the same level too?
