    Juggs + MBW + IM35. On higher levels it'll be quite scary. You have to control blue, red and yellow, otherwise:
    -you'll be hit for sooooo many points
    -one char will be stunned for 5 turns
    -protect tiles will make fight longer
    unless of course AI will hoard blue and red for IM35 icon_e_biggrin.gif

    The rest - I don't see any tough comboes, maybe Psylocke black + Wolvie strike tiles might do some harm. I haven't opened the paths yet, so I'm pretty curious what awaits there.

    Oh, and my levels are so far considerable - 60-120, so each fight is pretty doable. I seriously consider Spider-Man to be a reason, as mine is lvl50 at 313.
    Yeah, it's the 3x1* team that worries me most, too. Mine are at L60 for now, but can you imagine Juggs + IM35 at L150, punching you in the face for a million damage?

    And agree rubberbanding definitely seems less now. Only about 1.2k behind leader in main, but looks like all the top 10 are close. So we'll probably be trading spots around constantly, unless I get kicked out by a 1* team on a tear.

    Well my top 10 has reckless in it wonder if I should just give up on Blue IW now and just hit top 50 its so tight at the top less than 1K for the top 10.
    I don't know. I was fourth in easy and 1st in hard, and was still 500 points behind the leader in main. And my scaling is going nuts. I've jumped about 100 levels in my unlock nodes. I don't need IW, so I don't plan to grind like crazy and am going to try to modify the way I play PVE. I suspect that whether I wind up in the top-2 will depend mainly on where the alliances are towards the end.

    earlier I was first in main and both subs, but now fallen behind as apparently, those 1* teams are getting more points on easier/faster matches I guess. Wound up almost 5k back in easy, which seemed odd given I had 100 point nodes.

    yuppers. I can't wait to get headbutted from here to kingdom come. Haven't even started a pass of either sub yet as I was in AoO for a bit. I simply can't wait for all the fun and excitement awaiting me in these subs.

    besides, I have to try to win that loki in AoO to even do the essentials anyway.

    speaking of which, when do any of you typically make your first clears of subs? When it starts, or much later? Curious with this scaling and apparent rubberbanding adjustments what the best plan is at this point.

    Well at least you got a 3*.
    I've been getting nothing but 2* Thors the last 5 weeks.

    1 or 2 refreshes before the end. but my scaling is fine for last 2-3 events.

    thanks much. Considering I have to wait for AoO to end, I may just wait to do anything in either sub. Hell, maybe it will reduce the scaling some in the process, but doubt it due to the PvP

    What's PVP got to do with PVE scaling?
    And no, your scaling will rise thanks to community scaling, even if you just play the final two refreshes.

    so, anything I do in AoO will not affect my Sim scaling? Ok...I had just figured it did. I just need to win Loki so I have him for the essentials.

    Nothing you do in PVP will influence your PVE MMR.
    Well, unless you win some Spideys and Magnetos and start using the broken combos in PVE icon_e_wink.gif

    I didn't progress past Psylocke (Sim 05 I believe?) in the first sub, what else was there? Just curious.

    Later. How much later depends on what the scaling looks like.

    EDIT: Also, yes, PVE MMR and PVP MMR are completely separate. So, go full-metal pwnage in PVP, but make sure to be Goldilocks-s---ty in PVE.

    This is gonna be fun.

    1. Don't match green
    2. Kill Storm first, but without dealing too much damage.
    3. Kill Hulk, but without dealing too much damage or one-shot him.
    4. Don't match green

    thanks...well, then now I really wonder what would have caused my scaling to spike as it did, I mean, other than having spidey. Lol.

    Forest you say? Seems like the standard C. Mags Punpun env crit strategy to me.

    Thanks much. I had originally thought everything must have been part of total MMR or something since my scaling had skyrocketed to 395's in the hunt.

    As far as when to start, thanks as well. Was planning to wait as I need Loki, which, already in the top 5 of AoO right now. Scaling, well, Sim01 has 175's waiting to punch me in the face.

    I would just like to point out that yet AGAIN, we will get only halfway/60% through the progression rewards. This is getting very annoying.

    I'm not 100%, but I think it was C.Mags, Loki, and maybe M. Storm.

    Haven't posted in awhile, but how the he'll am I expected to clear level 275 easy opponents??????? I'm going to be making 1 pass through the event as late as I can, but it is ridiculous that I even with spiderman and patch have to fight 10 minute battles to barely place top 50.

    Any solutions? Not reading previous 16 pages
