Can someone please post the L85 moonstone's buffed ability damage please? Want to see if I should dump my 30k ISO into her or not...

For my 3/5/5 Moonstone:

Gravity warp: 1258 damage
Photon Blast: 528 base damage + 290 for each red tile on the board

Hmm... Really dunno if I should use her or not

I wouldn't. Level ares instead

Already done.

Nobody told me there were fangirls here. Awesome!

I overslept and don't know if my node depleted to 1 refreshed at 8 or 12 hours... anyone who is more dilligent then me and knows the exact times?

I do Take a guess what the refresh time been on the last event, the one before that and the one before that?

Just wondering.. Did someone notice sort of bracketing (vets vs new players) in PVE? Maybe I have a bad luck, but all of top10 in my main either have 3star roster or doing 2star->3star transition. No 1star rosters among leaders, but this was definitely the case in previous PVEs..

This would be a disaster. Could you guys imagine if they put people in brackets with others who had more refreshes than them? The **** storm would be epic.. and rightfully so!

Five?

After missing out on Lazy Daken due to ridiculous rubberbanding when I went to bed with a couple of hours to go, I knew this event would be a real struggle. With just enough HP left to afford the 10 pack, I thought I'd see if the RNG Gods were in my favour today, and thankfully, they were! Only pulled one Lazy Daken, but it's enough for me to do the essential nodes and give me a shot at getting Sentry. Just a shame really the other 9 pulls were useless (I think I got 6 Ares!), but I got what I was after, so that'll do me.

I'm glad to see a good old fashioned event for once. So far feels like a more relaxed hulk. I say that because people grinding like crazy from the 1st sub, the scaling should allow for more casual gaming towards the end.

The essentials probably won't be enough for a top 20 at any point, but I'm confident people will start having trouble with the coming levels allowing me to be a little lazier from the 3rd sub onwards.

I'm substituting obw with Rogers to help downscale the scaling at least a bit. I think not having heal is better than using lower level chars

Unknown

As for the 1 playthrough of each node getting different scores, as in lower than previous, is there some trickery to rubberbanding again?

DrNitroman

You are worrying me.
I planned to play in nearly 6-8 hours and I was hoping that after a 24h refresh rubberbanding will offer to me some juicy points!

well, maybe devs are trying an event with weak RB?

Bowgentle

Judging from my refresh just now, I'd say that you need at least 10 missions per refresh for a top 20 or so.
So 6x essentials and some high value point missions after that.

At least I don't plan on doing more than 10, scaling will be bad enough as it is.

Since people are at about 9K now, and we'll end this sub at about 15K or so I think that Daken at 45K should be reachable for a change. Which would be nice.

Sentry's green ability has the potential to cause some pretty serious cascades. I used it to kill off two Maggia fellas...they were dead, victory is mine...30 seconds of cascades.

I thought the description said it changed green tiles to countdown, when I used it the countdown tiles used were black...

Its a certain pattern, the colour doesnt matter.

At level 4 it's the following:
X....X
.X..X.
..XX..
.X..X.
X....X

Guess level 5 will add another 4 tiles at the furthest corners

Actually, the text on the ability says that it turns them into Green Countdown tiles - implying a change of colour should be seen, but currently isn't. Also note that these do not overwrite strike tiles (probably other specials, but I haven't observed that myself).

I agree that the text implies the color change, but it doesn't make sense to change them to green. If the ability turned the tiles into green CD, the pattern that is used would make it easy for the opponent to match the 6 closest to the center CD tiles by making 2 matches (1 to the right and 1 to the left), so I hope their color is left unchanged.

I didn't notice anything like that. In my bracket no one in top 10 has any 3* hero with more than 85 levels. I hope this means I won't have to try super hard. I did join the event only 2 hours ago so this could be the reason for the bracket I am in though. That, or the more experienced players have enemies with high levels and go for 1 clear strategy to avoid scaling them even higher.

Thanks for the info
10 missions to come back in top 20 seems fair (maybe a bit more missions for me after 24h)
I don't aim for top score in this event, just want to support my alliance for top100 and of course if ever 45k Daken is reachable... I'll may try push

The most important is that Ares is buffed for this event and IMO a buffed Ares means a lot of fun!

By the way I love the dialogue, will probably copy it here later, Daken and Bullseye flirting FTW.

Canonically appropriate, too, since Bullseye is one of the guys Daken's kissed in the comics (though not the guy Daken was shown in bed with). The seduction team Osborn sends after Sentry is Yelena, Moonstone, and Daken--and Daken's the one who has supernatural seduction powers via his ability to manipulate pheremones, and through them, people. Yelena and Moonstone just have the supernatural power of ****.

To be fair, Moonstone is a psychologist/psychiatrist and master manipulator (like, she has her powers because she talked the previous bearer into giving them up) and Yelena is a spy trained in various espionage, which presumably includes seduction (not as familiar with her Black Widow). Their skillsets make sense for the mission.

Fair and accurate points.
But, as Vairelome said, they also have the power of ****. Never, ever underestimate the power of ****.

And for those that didn't get lucky enough for the required person for essentials we are pretty much just screwed period.
