    Thank you for getting this information up!  I'm sure its a lot of work putting the table together each time.

    I am wondering if the Red iso rewards are correct in the Individual Rewards table, as they look like the old amounts.  Could be some copypasta?

    Nice to see Infinity War Spider-Man has been added to the fixed boost list for this event.  About time :smile:

    Well, this will be a breeze with that boost list.

    Hmm, 5Thor boosted is nice, but makes him tank so much colors! #firstworldproblems

    Worse yet, since 3-star Thanos is boosted, I won't be able to use my 5-star Thanos on that node.

    Public Service Announcement: Do NOT use Infini-Spidey versus boss Venom. You WILL be insta-killed when Venom devours all those web tiles.
    Only if you manage to travel back in time to before they changed Venom's Devour.

    Boss Venom in Sinister Six is 4* version and uses special attacks. I'm not aware this has been changed?

    To quote from the Sinister Six 2017 release thread:

    • Venom (Sinister Six)
      • Creates Invisibility tiles until he is ready to attack
      • Creates Web tiles after attacking
      • Can devour an enemy if there are enough Web tiles on the board

    Last time I played Sinister Six was shortly after I had champed Infinity War Spider-man back in August 2018 and was completely caught off guard when sending him against Venom and Venom insta-killing him.

    The only boost I care about is TA Hulk. I need that guy against Ock.

    Ah nice catch! I'll have to double check with the team as to what the Red Iso-8 amounts will be, but my guess is that you're correct that those are the old amounts.

    Once I receive further information, I'll be sure to update those charts.

    This would only be the mini-boost of about 10 levels, right?

    Good lord, Kitty is amazing in this. Especially when Venom or Doc Ock are the first wave.

    Riri's red can one-hit them every time as there are no other opponents. I've been using Vulture to fuel her blue to fuel her red, except against Doc Ock where Vulture's blue can destroy his counttown right out of the gate.

    Black Bolt's Silent Scream can take out Doc Ock even if all of his special tiles are on the board.  I assume that's because the board is destroyed, and then the damage is dealt.  I tested that out this time around, and it worked.  MEH Hulk and Gladiathor were my other two characters...never did get enough for a Gamma Powerbomb.

    For those of you with 5trange champed, switch his purple over to 4 if you're facing Venom.  It will get rid of his invisibility tiles, and Venom will just sit there while you're making matches and generating AP.

    Before anyone shouts at me, I know it isn't the case for everyone, and that there's no harm in a weekend off, but they can't really want some people to finish a 3 1/2 day event in nine hours, can they? The scoring for this event always feels like they screwed it up when they designed it, and then could never be bothered to fix it.

    And Riri. Yes, they do. And putting R&G in makes the damage nice when Doc Ock has lost all his tiles  :smile:

    I feel like I'm much further ahead points-wise than I would normally be in a boss event. At this rate I'll definitely be finished early. Doc Ock's stage is the only one that's needed any thought to beat so far. I'll keep playing until the event finishes in order to help my alliance.

    While top alliances can finish this amazingly fast, there are a lot of alliances of different strengths.  Having an alliance event that you can finish is nice for a less accomplished alliance. (Some can only finish this one.)  And some will still be struggling to the end.  Also, the boss nodes give lots of points because they are waves (and have more health etc); pretty easy to deal with if you have the right 4*s and 5's, not so easy if you are in 3 land and you might not be able to clear all 3 bosses every time.  Back in 4 land, I think I wiped on a couple of the bosses and got partial points.  So they may have put in more potential points for the boss nodes thinking they would be harder for more people to consistently beat all 3 on each side every time.

    Let's also note that this boss event seems to run less than others, perhaps because more people will get the rewards than most other events.

    So....did they intend it to be this fast and easy for top people?  I would think probably not, but can you imagine them going back and make an event harder?  If anything, they do things like make them easier.  And if they did require more points, what would that messaging be?  "We noticed a lot of you were finishing this really quickly, so we increased the point requirements.  You'll need to play the same event longer now.  Just because we weren't comfortable with you being done early."  Anyway.
