For instance, why am I earning 250 Iso for beating the Boss when the side Node is always 500 iso or 140 Iso in progression. Regardless, its a tradeoff because we're receiving 3 4* covers as opposed to none. Boss events only hurt those that normally place T10 or their alliance cannot finish all 8 rounds. 4 Stars are in progression for pve so you're getting 2 extra covers, not 3. With that you get less CP so it's close to a wash.

The one that was wildly, cartoonishly unfair and ignited one of the great Forum Firestorms of our time. Yes, it was horribly unbalanced and clearly never tested, and we got the lamest excuse for it ever ("you're supposed to lose"), but man, when you actually managed to KO him inside three turns, it felt like an accomplishment.Compare that to Thanos, who I now beat 95% of the time without taking any damage at all, and can sometimes beat before he even makes a move, if the black gem starts off matchable. I'm not saying they should all be as punishing as OG Galactus (or, god forbid, the forsaken Boss Rush), but a happy medium would be cool. If you’re using gambit in this particular boss event you’re doing it wrong lol. Using Gambit is never wrong. By the time he generates enough red, the match should already had been over. Also, his purple overwrites the infinity stones so you don't want to fire it.

Punter1 said: The difference between a Boss event iso and regular PVE iso is pretty much from the placement rewards. The Boss event lacks any placement iso which in higher CLs even in T100 is still easily 5k+ daily and probably closer to 10k for forum regulars. I think my regular daily iso is 40k+, boss events it's under 30k.

That's four more 4-star covers than usual for anyone SCL 6 or lower, and three extra for anyone SCL 7 or higher. Yes, but only for progression. If I generally finish T5 or above in SCL8 or 9, then it is not three extra covers. My placement gives me equal/more in PVE than in these Boss Events.

LavaManLee said: Dormammu said: Then you are one of the elite few. For the other 99.9% of us, the cover rewards in Boss events are very welcome. Unsure if the "elite" remark is sarcasm or not. Nothing "elite" about me. Just play PVE optimally for about 45-50 minutes a day. I am not a whale nor do I have a menagerie of champed 5*s. Working on champing my 4s which is why the ISO crunch hurts during these Boss Events.
