    I can't say I particularly enjoyed this event. But I was hoping at least that we could clean the vault. Why the hell are we limited to 4 tokens?

    Because the rewards are way too good.
    Costumes aside, there's full 5* covers in there.
    Way too good for free tokens.

    Considering the time needed to gather them, I wouldn't consider these tokens as "free".

    Bowgentle means that you don't need to spend resources like hp or cp on them.

    But yeah, fully agreed, player time is also a resource and "free" stuff that you need to grind ages for isn't really free. The cost is just different. Those tokens require a full week of grinding to get, so a 5* cover in there or two make sense and is appropriate. Normally, event tokens you get through playing don't require anywhere near this much time or effort, so the vault being better than usual "free" vault is appropriate. And you're not even guaranteed to get the 5* covers in there, either.

    I just noticed the vault will be around for more than 12 days, but the milestones event will end in about 5 days. And since we can't use hp to clear the vault I don't understand the purpose of having it around unless they're planning to give some last minute tokens.

    I undestand this point, but I think the usual 100hp spent on one token a day are way cheaper than the time I spent on each token.
    I still hope though, that they'll switch the vault on the last few days so that we can purchase token with hp, especially because inspite of all that grinding, I drop no 5*, making this event even worst for me.

    They won't do anything.
    There was a costume vault where we got exactly one token that stuck around for 3 weeks or so.

    And yes, I get your point.
    Opportunity costs for getting those tokens can be high, depending on how you value your free time.

    Just finished Tier 4, no more tiers, how do you get the other tokens?

    Is not too bad of a grind. I haven't gone crazy trying to do it, I didn't play the puzzle gauntlet repeatedly to do the tasks. I just used guardian characters in pve and so far I'm half way through tier 4 now. Should be able to complete in the 4 days left.

    It probably helps that I don't play pve competitively so I don't have to worry about speed and precise timing.

    3 tokens used, mantis costume and 5* starlord and adam covers, very happy with that! and all the iso from tier 4 is helping hugely.

    Is there a bug on tier 3... destroy 50 enemy strike, attack or defense tiles? I keep destroying the enemy tiles and it doesnt add up. I'm using mantis to give away attack tiles started on by rocket and groot. Doesnt seem to add to the count when I match them.

    You have to destroy them not match them (technical difference). Drax and Star-Lord, black and green can do this for you.

    Mighty Thor made it really easy to complete that quest for me

    Finally...here we are. 6 million damage. This feels good. No more eating 50 jam sandwiches, asking your neighbour to water your lawn 20 times or wearing things coloured blue. Now we are down to spiteful inflicting of damage. Ha ha, yes now this is where I am going to enjoy this and ha ha next Dev question time...well...I have some notes.

    Completing CL10 challenge node using 2* Ms Marvel to generate team ups... These quests really have impacted my play style.

    I'm now contemplating booting active members of my alliance because no one is requesting team ups... I think I need some of Daz's medication

    I have now finished so I can supply your medicine needs! I also used an unchamped Ms Marvel for team up tile generation. In fact at one point my team was unchamped 3* Gamora, Ms Marvel and unchamped 3* Jeff (he was just there for funs) just to avoid killing people too quickly in SCL10.

    The things we do for iso...and I am going to use it to Champ 5* Kingpin, ha ha!

    I was very "pleased" to discover that we now have more grinding to do! Think I will go casual on that one though and leave it to the other lunatics out there. Go team everybody else!

    For team up matches why not simply use Okoye?

    She'd get there while doing normal pve, though.
