    Yes, just started the event and the first subnode is indeed 48 hours now.

    Fun minigame there: Since his Featured Nodes are all Waves, you've got a lot of time to build them up. See if you can get the entire board covered in Strikes. I haven't managed it yet, but I did end up somewhere in the 50s.

    I did a couple of times. His animation is one of the funniest in the game.

    Why is 'The Rider Awakens' so hard this time around? 

    SCL4 and can't only just get past wave 2??

    It has always been seen as a difficult node.  With the current SCL scaling it is probably easier these days for most people, but if it scales close to your roster strength it certainly is a pain.  Three waves with no goons and plenty of strong characters.

    That's basically why I like to write down the wave contents: I hope it helps players to choose the right team, knowing what's coming your way.

    For 'The Rider Awakens' bring a stunner, a heavy hitter/tank and a healer and make sure you finish every wave with a power so you can start pounding the next wave right away.
