Boss rush scaling.

Ailbe

Another D3 boss event screw up. It almost seems like they have no QA on these events. Round three is, as far as I can tell, impossible with a three star roster. They should basically just come out and say "If you don't have a 5* roster by now stop playing"

Even IF you can get past the first boss, by the time you down him, they have so much AP the second boss is going to hit you with 5 to 7 abilities right off the bat.

Ridiculous. This is a three day long event and I have no intention of wasting my roster against this event.

Exactly. Heal the characters in between fights and I'll happily keep pissing into the wind.

Yeah, the scaling on this event is completely screwed up. I'm on round 4 and the match damage from the bosses is what's killing me. I don't know if I'll even be able to get to the next round at this rate. And for what, a 3* Storm cover?

Realllllly hope they fix this, because it's not fun at all. I was so excited about the Peggy covers, too

Hit round 4 and this is what it feels like already:

I have a few champ 4*, but once I hit round 4....holy hell. They are 385. I can barely get by Green goblin before going against IM. They are all hitting like trucks. I made it to Wolverine, who uses abilities that hit for 8k. I mean, how in the world am I supposed to beat this? This is just round 4!

My whole alliance is struggling - got a number of newbies but even the few experienced "stronger" members - including me haven't knocked out the round three opponents once...

It is really disheartening and a shame we love coming together for the boss events... this is just madness

I hate this event with a fiery passion. Round 4 and I can't past OML with anything. By the time I get to him, I am usually down a man (or two) and he just explodes with powers from AP saved from previous bosses, nothing I can do.

D3 - It isn't "fun" when you don't stand a single chance.

I have no character over lvl 170 (unbuffed) - including champed 3 stars and some four stars.(I have no 5 stars.) My buffed chars for this event are at lvl 250-ish. In round three I am facing 3 bosses of lvl 352, each. IN ROUND THREE!!!!

This event is a total joke - we don't even have the benefit of our stronger alliance-mates helping to whittle away.

EXTREMELY poor game design, except for the top 1% who have maxed 5 stars on their roster.

If the game designers are trying to minimiz gameplay, then congrats! You've succeeded!

One time I watched this guy bang his head against a brick wall for 20 minutes. Even that wasn't as stupid as trying to play against the scaling of this boss event.

I loved that after I beat the Round 4 bosses for the second time I won... Green/Black AP boosts.. gee thanks, might as well been critical boosts

Oldboy

Round 4 (and round 5 i think)
I used Hulk (5/3/5) Mohawk storm (5/5/3) and Kamala (5/5/3)

Only use 3 powers
- Storm's green and yellow
- Kamala's purple

- Keep your green AP at 10 and above at all times if possible
- Flood the board with green (while keeping purple untouched) using Kamala or make green matches
- DO NOT overwrite purple with green using Kamala
- use Storm's green to grab green and purple
- use storm's yellow to clear TU tiles before you use her green (if possible). This helps to minimise the chances of you collecting TU tiles when you use her green.
- use Hulk to tank if needed to generate green
- grab whatever match 5s you can get

It's a slow and steady battle (think 10min or more) so dont rush through it or you'll make mistakes.

Even the maxed 5* rosters in the forum are saying they're getting tinykittied by this. This is fun for no one.

Team Im using for nearly all survival nodes like Oldboy is 3 star Mohawk 5/5/3, She-Hulk 5/3/5, and KK 5/5/3 and made full clears into round 5 with not much problem. They all have high cascade possibility and use KK purple smart enough to feed Mohawk Green. The other side won't get another turn once you get it going. I didnt think of using hulk but i might try that. Not fool proof as match damage from and cascades could easily take one out in round 1 but KK kept health up. It also makes matches very long with all the insane health from boss levels 351 and up.

Okay, I am also on round 4. The rest of my alliance is helpless and even with some heavy hitters (two doing over 14k damage) yhe best I can do is put a dent in the armor of the first boss.

Even round 7 of Galactus was easier than this round 4.

This isn'tboss rush, this us ultramegaOPbossrush from Mephisto's hell.

Starting round 5 now. Round 4 was an exercise in misery. I have 3 championed 5* and it was still a chore. I got past Goblin and Iron Man without too much trouble but Logan is just too much.

Can I just ask you a question? (Or you know one after that one to be precise.)

Looking at your roster, you've got a champed Kingpin and a champed Chulk as well, who are boosted. Would you even think of Touching them for this fight? Or even look at Wasp and Xforce because of their health-pool?
