I noticed for SCL8 that T100 Alliance Placement rewards do not give 2 Heroic tokens for this event. Was it like this for Strange Sights? I don't remember. I am curious if they removed the alliance heroic token rewards altogether.

According to Cthulhu's post its also . Makes sense as there's only one Venom symbiote i guess

Yeah, kinda. But there are & , since Cho took "the hulk essence" or whatnot from Banner. Or & for the same person. Who knows. A new smiley would make my life easier with these threads, I'll say that much

Was it this event where is a grand iso price in every subs last node?

No, that's Simulator and ISO Brotherhood.

This event is full of Muscle....having Kate as essential is not fun. CD vs CD...you lose.

Pulled a Agent Venom from my sub 1 rewards token. Makes the rest of the event a whole lot easier.

for some reason, finding a solid team here is frustrating me.. anyone have any ideas?

Using Strang3/4Clops/3Storm mostly..

3* strange / JG / SW worked like a charm for me. Those countdown tiles stands no chance.

Depends on your roster - looks like yours could use some updating

I've been using my 4/3/4 Jean Grey, champed 3Clops, and the third member varies. Sometimes Beast, sometimes R&G, sometimes MoStorm, sometimes QS. I've been changing it up to Jean/Clops/SWitch though...

Jean and 3Clops form a complete rainbow by themselves (lacking the active blue which is why Beast and R&G are nice), but none of these teams really have a strong synergy. Jean is far too slow by herself to manage Muscles without SWitch as an accelerator, and even boosted, 4/3/4 is lackluster on damage dealt when your Muscles are hitting 21k health pools.

My Strang3 is only 2/5/3. I think he does 750 unboosted damage with his passive... see the same problem mentioned above when dealing with Muscles. He might be a good third to run with JG/Clops though...

Ughhh fine. There it's so slow doing it which is why I get lazy.. wish I could update it via spreadsheet. Take a look, let me know your thoughts on team comp then

You may not have any blue on Teen Jean, but her purple and green have some utility at 4 covers like mine - they can clear CDs. I'd been using Jean, 3Clops, and *filler* until I swapped that for SWitch.

You might get some traction with Strang3, Jean, and SWitch like Wolfspwn said, at least against goons. 3/4Clops versus non-goon nodes works well too. I'm not so sure your Jean is prepped to handle the full DA groups, and I can't say how Strang3 fares.

I'd consider respec'ing Beast to 5/5/3 and using him for his quick blue and AoE with 3Clops and maybe MoStorm from the current boosted. There's nothing with an incredible amount of synergy here though. It's been a health pack sink for me all event, too. Makes me really miss my boosted champed Star-Lord...

ClydeFrog76

I could quite easily hit top 100 but...I don't think I cbf. I really don't need another one cover 4* on my roster, especially as I'm only hitting Sim for the big ISO rewards and two 5CP progs.

And, really, he just looks meh.
