Thats quite the slap in the face to those that sold him because you nerfed him.
Like I literally can't remember the last time a 5 star was boosted if ever and it def wasn't oml.
At first the boosts were rather large, but due to player requests, they reduced them to something rather insignificant. If it's in line with the more recent 5* boosts, you're not missing out.
It might be too early to complain.8 -

That is something I wish they had clarified in the announcement. The color of each infinity gem if you are chasing a certain result or wanting to time them in a certain order. This is my recollection/guess as to the colors, but maybe someone who is more certain can correct my work.
Time Gem (orange): Creates a random duplicate non-Purple Infinity Gem
Mind Gem (blue): Generate 30 AP of a random color
Reality Gem (yellow): Give a burst of healing to your entire team, restoring them to full health.
Power Gem (red): Deal a massive amount of damage to Thanos (a little more than third of his max health).
Space Gem (purple): Create 2 Critical tiles
Soul Gem (green): Destroy all Green tiles, dealing damage but not generating AP
You're right about comic Infinity gems, but the movie Infinity stones are different.
Space - Blue
Mind - Yellow
Reality - Red
Power - Purple
Time - Green
Soul - Orange
Soul hasn't appeared yet in the movie, but it's safe to assume it's orange. The game tends to lean more towards the movieverse, but you never know.0 -

With how thanos is set up (needing to destroy tiles and he doesn't make matches and what not) there is a popular team that should easily cheese this (prof x, switch, 3* widow) once you get wininfite going the matches from 3* widow's purple plus either her green or switches green should deal with the gems easily. (you can avoid the gem that removes all green until you have enough ap to sniper riffle the board to reset it with more green)
the only way this isn't the case is if thanos' black deals so much damage that it easily kills the low HP team before it can get going... but if that is the case it also pretty much easily kills any non high leveled 4* team or 5* team locking out most of the players.
thus either the players with a working winifinite team will just go crazy and cheese it or the balance will be so far off that no one will have fun. Ideally it will be more of the first, but even if wininfite works this time there is no doubt that the developers will see that to many people won and make it so it doesn't work next time and the next run will be absolute garbage @_@
either way I wish I had a properly working wininfite team :P
I imagine by the time you reach round 7+ the non-boosted Winfinte team won't last long when the Black power goes off.

Wasn't it something like +10 levels, so more like a token bonus intead of anything meaningful? I don't unterstand the excitement either.4 -
In normal pve 4* boosts are: 1 essential, 5 weekly, new 4*.
In this boss event it is: 4 for event, new 4*.
Is there any reason why for boss events it is less than in other events?
For me the selection of boosted characters is unfortunate. I have 73% of all 4* in game champed (36 champed, 11 other max covered, 2 newest undercovered) but only Ant-Man and Star-Lord will be boosted for the event. As there is "massive damage" every 3 turns, I don't think unboosted 4* will survive long.

lol "testing".
Is damage AoE or just target damage?
so is the CD gonna be bugged that it automatically loses 1 when place, like boss battles once before?
CD should be longer than the count of 2 maybe 5. cause that means we're gonna be hit every 2 turns by massive damage. didn't devs learn that not giving players enough time to prepare against CD is a bad design. look at the first iteration of Galactus defeat 3 turns.
Scaling should be turned off during boss events for opening nodes. looks like we are going to have to use most of our health packs on just the boss.
Hope this isn't another "you are suppose to lose" scenario.

I have lots of worries that we are merely going to get told we are supposed to lose again5 -
Is this a re-skinned Ultron type event?
Is this an individual "Boss" alliance event as we've had before that didn't go over too well? (can't even remember which one that was, I tried to block it out) Remember where we had to beat the boss all by ourselves and being in an alliance was useless...
Which color is each gem?
Feels like another "you're supposed to lose" setup after round 6... maybe sooner.

Nova is a great choice for progression rewards, definitely more enticing than Antman. And very happy to finish off my hawk guy with that purple cover.
Overall, oolong forward to this event.Felonius said:The rewards are disappointing overall. I can't believe the individual rewards have so many 2*s and no 4* in it.

I anticipate that my enjoyment of this event, like pretty much all other boss events, is going to depend entirely on the amount of scaling introduced between round 4 and 5.0

While I admit that the typical forum user may have a more negative slant than the avg user, I do think it's telling that in an event that features new content and some potentially cool new mechanics, the overall feeling is complete apprehension (and disgust, if you include the OML nerf / boost and the paltry rewards).
Being the typical forum user, I am also pretty cautious. Please, please, please fix future rewards to be enticing. This is replacing a PVE and ISO doesn't grow on trees. Additionally, I hope scaling isn't absurd (hint: it will be) and that you tested at high levels (hint: you didn't). I hope to be proven wrong.12 -
Green Goblin is boosted in every Nefarious Foes pvp. Phoenix was boosted in the match making one. There have been several other times 5* were boosted. The boost itself (except the first time GG was in Nefarious Foes) has been a negligible amount.1

I'm excited for a new Boss event, disappointed that the individual progression rewards are so low (particularly that they don't take into account CL, so they're much lower than a normal PvE at my CL), and apprehensive that the scaling is going to make that 2-turn countdown tile instant death in later rounds.
A lot depends on how much damage the gauntlet tile does. As described, you have to be destroying it every other turn to avoid damage and Thanos gaining a lot of AP. That would be challenging even if you could match it away normally. Having to kill it with a match-4 or a power every other turn is going to be nigh impossible unless you have lucky boards or can make it long enough to get some serious AP generation going. So the question becomes how many of those gauntlet blasts can your team eat before they're toast?
Maybe the benefits from matching the gem tiles will be enough to balance that, like if you get the 30 AP in a good tile-destroying power you might be set. I just really hope they tested this one out all through Round 8, and we don't have another boss that's wiping a boosted 4* team on the third turn of a Round 5 fight.4 -
I guess I better start saving CP. I'm about to have 14 days to get 120 and decide whether or not Nova (level 190 5/4/1) will be one my first two 4* champs with my 13-cover X-23 (level 200, 5/4/4), with Strang3 at level 182 as well. Having at least two covers die on the vine seems like a bad idea.0

@JHawkInc Thanks for the heads up. I've confirmed it should say Spider-Man (Original), and have corrected that above.
I have also edited the boost list to say "Event" instead of "Weekly"
@Punisher5784 @orbitalint I've just confirmed that the 395,500 reward should say Rocket & Groot. I'll edit the image to display the correct character, and update it again once I find out the color of its cover.
When it comes to all the other questions, I have passed them to the developers, and I'll reply back with their responses when I get them!2 -
Colognoisseur said:@Brigby
I know this is a bit of a snarky question but was Boss Thanos tested at high level scaling especially for the final rounds?
Reading the Infinity Gauntlet CD it sounds like turn three for Boss Thanos will be problematic if you can't remove the tile. A row of charged tiles are going to do a load of damage with cascades to follow.
Just to remind you because I know you've thought of this the highest amount of scorn you get for events like this is having a boss power which just kills everyone in three or four turns.
I am mentioning this now because i hope you've learned to test with a high-level roster.
If not I guess I'll just be an unpaid beta-tester....again.1
