These threads always kinda fight that idea.

As you go further up the teams that weaker alliances rely on become less effective, thus significantly reducing their clear time, if they can clear at all.

But alliances with stronger rosters finish with time to spare.

Scaling only hurts them on the sub missions. The boss, on the other hand, is much easier to deal with, and they can opt for the strategies that work for other players, unlike Kaecilius. And Boss Rush scaled too, didn't it? I imagine it feels great to greet a boss that gave you trouble before and show it what real power is.

You can still take on Ultron with lower rosters. The top alliances are at the top because their members are committed and cooperating to clear all the nodes optimally, as they become available.

A filthy casual like my alt who can play only once a day in an alliance of other filthy casuals of course has trouble getting the job done.

This is what I love about these forums. Instead of a well done KA, we get hate and shaming...

Never change everybody.

Congrats KA Jedi.

The time based scaling hurts the weaker rosters.

also at round 6~7 the boss does like 12K or so IIRC.

so if they don't have someone tanky who has good damage or board control and have teams of 2 who can also handle the time scaled side missions, it kinda becomes a strong wall for weaker rosters.

It's great that they finished it, but if the people with some of the strongest rosters in game couldn't i'd be worried.

He says "we get hate and shaming " and you say "well you get discussion" as if hate/shaming = discussion.

Have these forums gotten so negative that we can no longer tell the difference between hate and discussion, because there is a difference.

I've not had much time to play, but my alt account's alliance are somewhere in round 7 and my alt can still beat Ultron on and off with a half-champed 3* roster. On my main account where we have finished round 8 the resident 4* players have also comfortably passed full personal progression.

Also, if everyone plays the refreshes and doesn't miss clears, you can be finished well before the side node scaling goes crazy.

Edit: A N00b successfully took out Round 8 Ultron with IM40/3Pool/IF. Doesn't aways work out because bombs, but should still be able to put in consistent dmg and progress.

Hoard all the ap and concentrate on matching bombs. If there are few yellow in the lower rows fire recharge. Hopefully you have 12 black and/or lots of purple. Fire IF as many IF green as you can fire all the 3Pool red. Mop up with IF purple punches.

Wasn't this supposed to be the thread where alliances post when they finished the last round, like we have one for every single Boss event? KA always amongst the first.

To steer this back to intended:

Elysium finished not long after KA. Before the 10 am reset (posting this at 10 pm, so about 13-14h ago)

Pongie

Medusas Lair and Medusas Coven finished it with 40hrs to spare.
Medusas Muse finished it 12 hrs later

Thanks, Daiches, for bringing the topic back to its intended purpose. I'll only snipe you 4 times next time in in s4...lol...j/k.

for the first time my alliance has a chance. it's slim. but we usually give up after rd 7 so that's cool.

Dormammu I finished with 43h remaining. Dormammu II about 6 hours later.

Oceans 20 finished earlier this morning. I was asleep when it happened so not 100% sure how many hours were left.

Congrats to KA for finishing first and to everyone else that finished.

please dont start a trend. If everyone who cleared round 8 started a thread youd have to skip 2 pages just to see anything else. Ultron is by far the easiest. A lot of people didnt do it fast because they have something called a life

So much hate. Let the joy into your heart. The game is meant to be fun, and we all have our inter webs trophies...

I know what will cheer you up, go google cat memes. Fur and funny words will make any day better

Much respect to anyone who plays this until the end regardless of finishing or not, it isnt easy and gets nerve wracking, seeing how far your team can go is a nice reward in itself, congrats to everyone who can stick it out until the end.

Yay?
