bluewolf said: How the fight works:Basically when the battle starts apocalypse gets four horsemen tiles. They can't be matched or destroyed. They each have an effect on the board and require a specific "achievement" to get rid of them.War reduces your damage output, and requires a threshold of damage dealt over the battle to be destroyed (like ghost rider penance stare).Pestilence makes attack tiles. You need to get rid of all attack tiles to destroy it.Famine destroys 1ap in your strongest color each turn, and requires a threshold of AP in your strongest color to be destroyed.Each time a horseman gets destroyed, Death makes a CD that downs the target. It destroys itself when all other horseman are destroyed. The CD ranges from 6 to 4 turns.Meanwhile, as long as there's a horseman tile, apocalypse returns to full health every turn. So you either have to get rid of all tiles first, or one-shot him.And he has an ability (red) that deals damage to the lowest level teammate. (Deny red)-quoted from dev on Discord
DarthDeVo said: I'm torn on the Fan Favorite store. I know the odds aren't great, but I don't have any Black Widow, Black Bolt, Phoenix or OML covers. I'd like to get at least one of each, since 5* essentials are a thing now. Plus there are some 4* characters I could use, namely Teen Jean and hopefully the right covers to finish off Iceman (4/5/3) and De4dpool (2/5/4 with a black cover dying on the vine).But if I spend there, that's fewer potential 5pidey covers, and he's the one I've been hoarding for anyway.Bah. I should probably just stay the course. I have a feeling if I try to chase covers in the FF store, I'll probably end up burning more CP than I want and end up disappointed.I can at least try for Phoenix and OML through the Mon Amis store, plus hopefully pick up some Gambit covers along the way. Maybe make De4dpool my sole 4* bonus hero and Bolt and Widow the 5* and hope for the best.
Magere said: Oh a small cautionary tale before we begin the main event. In looking at how Apocalypse is set up...Every time you guys try to be provocative or challenging has not been good for you. I GET your trying to make a challenge and make us work at it, but given your track record, is that wise? Every time you guys try something new you get a tidal wave of negative feedback. SO ...... I'm ASKING is there anything you want to change before we log in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought boss events have their own boosted list and the weekly boosts don't apply.
Tony Foot said: As usual I hope to run winfinite, Will help in strongest AP pool and damage with crit tiles and Green to help remove CD's.It's rare there's anything more consistent in boss events than winfinite.
nick_chicane said: Got to be honest, I'm genuinely fearing this boss event. All these horseman/tiles/death has me worried this is going to end up being another "you're supposed to lose" event.
pheregas said: Wonder if Riri's Magnetic Repulsors could grab those CD tiles and convert them to red for you. Add Hulkbuster to just straight up punch Apocalype to the moon afterwards.
