Ugh raising max progression from 31K to 50K is brutal for a Heroic event. The one thing I have liked about Heroics is the max progression is normally lower than the standard PVEs so I don't have to grind all the nodes when they get too difficult due to lack of characters. At least we can now earn new 4* characters to soften the blow.

Yeah, I'm not really digging the new "4 clears for progression" standard. I like the "volatile but generally 3 clears for progression" from before.

Is it possible to reach the Blade cover if you are missing Blade? What's the best way to do this?

TeamStewie

Does anyone know who the reinforcements are going to be for the first stage?

Yes of course but I do not know the exact details. I would just clear every node 6 times.

When I returned from retirement I was missing all the new 4*'s that were released afterwards, so I did not have the 4* essential but I was able to earn max progression by fully clearing each node. It sucks but on the other hand you need to fully clear a node 6x to earn experience points to level your SHIELD rank.

HeyoJayo

Boosted Xforce + XPool, and a 4blade from progression..

Is this the unofficial apology for Boss Rush?

I think it's

Bowgentle

Boosted Peggy, Punsher, Xfool, XF, IM40.
4* scaling.

So much fun.
I think that's the best Heroic lineup ever.

Yes, of course you need to have those characters to have fun, but if you do... awesomeness.

Mechahamster

Having your matches crash at the start a few times is extra super fun during heroics when you only have 4 useable characters.

Not as fun as every second AI match match-4 dropping match-5. And all you get - is a single possible match-3. And that was at least once per each node. Ugh.

If you hit every node four times, you'll get Blade in Sub 2 before you finish your four clears of all non-Blade nodes. Doing this should put the CP in easy reach as you'll only need to make up four Blade clears from Sub 1.

I'm going to miss 3* Widow after Sub 1 ends. Squirrel Girl can run rampant in the Bullseye and Daken nodes and she, OBW and IM40 handle the goons well enough, but it's nice to have Thor and GSBW for the harder ones...

Could have sworn I signed up for this event at CL7 but the game is showing me at CL6. Tinykitty!

My Pegs and 4Pun aren't quite built up (multiple covers but not levelled up over 70), but would you suggest Xfool/XF and IM40 (all maxxed and champed) a good enough speed A-team for this event? I'm might level Pegs some for her upcoming 4* DDQ: Crash of The Titans but I'll make do without for PVE if I have to.

I know, that's why I'm not even bothering with submitting a ticket with CS because I can't be 100% sure I didn't screw it up. I'm just mad at myself.
