If only I had more Carol covers 8(

like1tiger

Yes Carol covers would be great but pretty happy rhulk is boosted

STOPTHIS

While she's not boosted, I'm looking forward to my newly champed Quake making jokes out caltrops. NEVER AGAIN, KISHU, YOU SON OF A TINYKITTY!

bob554

oh wow that boosted list....

Rhulk, Chulk and Xwolverine?
or Rhulk, Chulk and IM40? oh my....

Edit: for special tile opponents I may have to use "same" wilson

DAC169

I can't remember how long it's been since we've had a 7-day PvE. Were they changing them up or something? I know people have been demanding better progression rewards for them for a while.

Does The Gauntlet Count? If not, it was ISO-8 Brotherhood that started on December 29th.
The good thing about Enemy of the State is that you get tons of tokens, so there's an excellent chance to get Gwenpool from the vault. My 2/1/1 Gwenpool approves of this.

Rhulk, Chulk and Xwolverine?

Well you'll only be able to play with that boosted threesome for one day of the PVE event... I believe Wolverine is locked out of Enemy of the State (because he's been kidnapped) until the final day of the event. And for PVP, he will only be buffed for sure in the Agent Coulson event; the following two PVP events will be off-season events with their own buff lists.

The only way poor XFW would have a worse buff week is if the one non-off-season PVP event would have been 3* Wolverine, where he'd be locked out.

Personally, I'm looking forward to running TAHulk with RHulk. I like running Star-Lord with RHulk so he'll probably be my third. RHulk's purple only costing 5 AP, which gives me 7 green AP, which is enough to immediately fire his green? Yes, please. TAHulk will likely just stand around, giving green AP to RHulk and doing hot dog stands.

I think I may actually put some ISO into Gwenpool too; she's only at 11 covers but as the required 4* for the week-long event I'll have plenty of time try out some 'Sploits and random damage from Chekhov's Gun.

Hey Brigby, can you let us know what PVP events are coming up for next week (off-season)? It's time to sell my 2* farm but I don't want to get rid of everyone if there's a reason for me to keep them (for example, if you're running Combined Arms). Thanks!

Usually I post information 2 - 3 days before the event starts, because sometimes there are still details being ironed out still.

Having said that though, I'll keep an eye out to see when any of the upcoming PVP events get finalized so I can update this thread

vinsensual

I feel like every time Red Hulk is boosted, TA Hulk is boosted too. At least going back two occasions, this being the third.

Well it looks like someone at Demiurge figured this out too... the in-game event preview for Enemy of the State has X-23 buffed for the week instead of Wolverine X-Force. Cool.

X-23 is the highest level hero i've ever had in PVE this week (343 Boosted 250 Natural)

Should the buffed list show X-23 for 3/2-3/9 instead of X-force Wolvie? For all events (not just EOTS)?

Ah yes. That's correct. I've gone and fixed that. Thanks!
