    The Hornhead token is for a Special Legendary Store that will contain both 5-Star and 4-Star characters.

    The individual reward ladder is still woefully inadequate, especially in terms of ISO (the entire event only giving out 50HP is kinda sad as well).

    Galactus' power relies on countdowns. Bagman (along with OBW) are the two characters who can increase enemy countdowns, and they're both boosted.

    Alliance progression rewards are the equivalent of individual placement rewards in alliance events. Not of individual progression. That's always been the case.

    My 4/3/3 Coulson is thrilled, though my alliance has never cleared R7 of a boss event before. Still. Even if we only clear R6, it's a huge boost for him.

    Shouldn't 5* Daredevil be listed as new boosted rather than just weekly?

     So is my 4/5/2. The Sinister Six event was the first time I was part of an alliance that cleared all rounds. Hopefully this shouldn't be an issue either, because I really need to get through Round 7.

    That's a terrible 4* boost list. Too much color overlap.

    You noticed that too? Green and Black actives for EVERYONE! I'm surprised they didn't replace XFW with PunMax, so they could all be Green/Black/Blue. On the bright side, Strang3 is the Featured 3-star, so any time the other team fires off a power, they're going to get whacked but good.

    Where's the details on 5* DD, the legendary store, and the System reboot mission.  The slow odd trickle rate of information for this is odd based on previous precedence.  I'd have rather had a marvel article dump all this info at once.

    Edit:
    Also annoyed that they keep doing the featured 12 for boss events.  Aren't there enough increased odds for them everyone else, give some old rando love!

    Okay anyone here the last time they ran this event know if the following works:

    Will the punisher's ability to kill at a certain percentage of health work?
    Does anyone think that Gamora's instant kill ability will work?
    If you flood the board with hail storm will this keep tiles from forming?

    Any other information would be nice

    @Brigby Shouldn't 2* cover rewarded at 112k points be a hawkeye and not obw? Obw was featured in last event and rewarded there, now it's time for hawkeye as he is 2* placement reward from prodigal sun event.

    @wumpushunter punisher red works. My team mates constantly ask for that team up during boss events. I assumed gamora purple should too

    Boss isn't stunnable be or able to be sent airborne, but other than that, afaik, everything is fair game. Hailstorm isn't a good counter to Galactus though.  You will never have enough attacks to stop him playing CDs.

    I still don't understand 2 things for boss events:

    1. For standard PVE, there are 1+5 (essential + weekly) boosted 4*. For boss it is only 1+3. Is there any reason for it?

    2. Number of boss figths is limited, a fight is not a cakewalk. Why succesfull fights aren't worth any reward after 8th win? After reaching personal and alliance progression, I still play side nodes for xp and iso. But I just go on boss with some 2* or other useless team and retreat or wipe to be able to fight next side node. Is it what you want?
    I'd like to take a chalenge to fight him to death every time but it needs to be worth it. Let say 100 x round iso (or at least 50 x round), i.e. 800 or 400 iso per successfull fight against hardest boss,  would be enough for me to sacrifice my time and healthpacks.
