Can you sort the required characters by their tier?
It is pretty difficult to look through the list quickly and see who we need to use.

bladewing

I see 3-star Hit Monkey on the list, but not 5-star Hit Monkey. Was this intentional or an oversight?

Nurielkun

What is the reason for such a list of characters? Spider-Verse, ok, I get it. But Iron Man, Captain America and Multiple Man? What are they doing here?

Dayraven

Multiple Man is the placement award from the event beforehand.

Iron Man was in Homecoming and Far From Home is the movie that shows Peter dealing with the immediate aftermath of Tony's death in Endgame.

If MCU logic is why some of these characters are there. I assume Captain America is included because Spider-Man's big MCU debut involved him catching Cap's shield.

They are both New Yorkers? Although not sure how that covers Peggy exactly...

Plenty of flimsy context to go around I guess.

Meanwhile you know who isn't boosted? Mysterio! Whoops!

What are boss battles based on again

Is it
How high level you are

How high level others in group (day 2 sub nodes I hear people saying don't attack the sub nodes til round 5 it makes it easier

At least I might have a chance staying in team this time mostly got weekend off ..glad not next weekend. All week and weekend. Work 9am to 9pm

Place your bets. How many days will I work before I blow out my back lol

sob know I got a bad back yet. Next week starting may 1 to 6 every day 9am to 9pm. (Some days 9 am to 11 pm,)

Maybe blow it the rest of way out and never have to work again (slip disc in neck .. 2 bad disc in back and spine cruving to right

Hell almost went to hospital last night crushing pain in right calf couldn't even walk or bend leg ..dic today said it's cause I bent back wrong on couch. ****

2nd consecutive boss battle where the servers weren't hiccupping when the masses joined their alliance. Kudos!!

Still a bit disappointed there's not a 5* loaner in all of them.

My Spider-Ham has gone from 5/3/3 to 5/4/3. W00t!

One thing for sure, the Prowler rebalance of a few months ago is really noticeable in his 1v1 node. He easily took down 4 of my characters (all equal or higher level) before I beat him in a mirror match with my own Prowler thanks to getting my Black off before his.

Invisible Miles Morales worked really well for me, right up until Prowler got 10 blue and dealt "damage to all other enemies" Thanks to all of the strike tiles he had accumulated, Miles went from about 55K health to zero in one shot.

Note to self for second attempt: Deny blue.

When he was boosted he was insane in PvP. I think mine was only about 480 and I was shredding 550s.

I was running Carbage/Prowler (lvl 368 with a 3* tinkerer support)/ascended Flaptain on the heroic side. It was a surprisingly good team. Unfortunately I ran out of nodes at 597,735/600,000 points somehow. I almost never make it to the costume in the heroics.

DAZ0273

Strangely I had no problems at all with Prowler, I just ate him with Dino-Venom. Guess I just got a lucky board or whatever.

I only recently noticed the discrepancy between the 8 hour Boss reset and the 12 hour node resets. I could have got in a few extra hits with a bit of planning!
