My Wasp missions are giving me 70 points.... why?  The 4* Dazzler is 340 I think.

    you must be in scl7.  the 5*e node is super devalued.  its so people can still play a higher scl with just 1 or 2 5e covers and still be score compettive

    This is new?  Been playing for awhile and the 5* required character missions have been the highest yielding 100% of the time.

    As long as I can remember, the 5* node in SCL 7 was always low point values. SCL 8 is a different story.

    They weren't lower originally, but it has been like this for a while.

    As a SCL7 regular I can assure you this is 100% normal. Been like that for as long as I can remember.
     It does get slightly better in subsequent subs, but not much.

    You're almost getting as many points as me in scl9.  My 5 cover wasp is just a useless boat anchor.  Absolutely adding nothing to the fight.  Anyone with a stronger wasp finding her at all useful?  I'm basically fighting 3 ~80k enemies with two live bodies.

    I am at the same level Wasp. Luckily for me I am using Okoye, so Wasp’s blue managed to do good damage.

    Originally the 5E node had the same Points in all SCLs... So people started slumming in SCL 7 to get lots of Points fast and get good Alliance rewards. That's why it changed so the Points in SCL 7 are lower.

    The good news is the 5E node Points aren't included when final progression level is calculated.

    I had four brutal defeats by the Ghost Rider, Shuri and Black Panther team just trying to get my second clear with a team of Wasp, Yondu and Vulture. Switched it up with Agent Venom and Yondu the next morning, basically ignoring flighty Wasp aside from her sopping up damage on the map and focusing on Agent Venom dealing the most damage. I dared not try anymore. The rest of my roster is solid enough I feel comfortable in SCL 9 for other clears, but the 5 star nodes here have been killing me and showing how underpowered Wasp is as a 5-star. Granted, mine only has 2 covers, but I don't see her improving to playable with more covers the way Okoye, Jessica Jones or Beard Cap seem to allow themselves to do.
