    3* Hit Monkey's red might be able to finish him off if you can get him low enough in one turn (not tried it but Punisher's ability used to work). I seem to remember Apoc is also vulnerable to permanent damage - Kate Bishop in the past and there are quite a few more now who do that? Morbius does work but he doesn't clear all specials every time so you might need two hits to get rid of that Horseman. If you have a team with blue/red users then Deathlok should be able to generate AP especially if he has tech on the team. 3* Emma can destroy Apoc's death countdown tiles with her purple. Magik red can convert specials and if you have a black AP team she will produce AP to try and kill that Horseman.

    Sorry if any of that is out of date/doesn't work.

    So, what teams other than 4* Jean, 4* Cyclops, and IM40 (as well as some well placed 5* teamups) would you recommend to the very low 3* to 4* players? Our alliance mates are definitely running into the Apoc health problem. Thank you

    XPool/Carol/Cloak and Dagger. Set Carols passive to 5 covers to give max AP. Let Apoc match Black (Cloak and Dagger make plenty so do not transform them) to generate Red to remove his AP drain horseman. Set XPool Red to 5 so he does max damage/heal. I use this team since XPool tanks and soaks damage and has true heal.

    Patch/IM40/3rd. Where the 3rd character does not tank anything over Patch. Boost Yellow to get IM40s recharge ASAP. When IM40 is stunned, Patch can use his Red which if the 3rd character doesn't tank anything means Patch will do crazy damage because every tile will bear his symbol. 32K damage won't kill Apoc but will let you get at least plenty of points if you then retreat.

    Does Kang's blue auto kill Apoc when sent away?

    Doubtful - seems most Bosses have been Away-proofed although I haven't tried myself.

    Apocalypse can't be sent Away.

    I used WHALES on the beginning, either Higuera health characters to tank purple or Team Up

    I've a winfinite team using 3KK, IM40, and 2 Storm. I can post a video if you want. I last used this team in CN when SCL 10 was first introduced

    I don’t even receive the alliance rewards for this event, just my personal progression rewards. This stinks!

    If that is indeed the solution, it is disrespectful to those who have done the whole event but did not get alliance rewards. My time is valuable. I put in the time during the broken event to get 2 covers, but I will receive only 1. If I get 2 covers for putting in the time to do the event twice, then I will still be short 1 cover. Just push me the cover I should have gotten in the first place and call it a day. If you can’t find a way to push covers only to people who did not get the alliance reward, then push a cover to everyone. I don’t care if that means some people will get extra. Good for them. I’ll be happy if I get the expected awards for the time I spent participating. Running a second fixed event does not do that for me (even though I will end up with more Kang covers as a result).

    This. Exactly.

    So there is is.

    Lol. "We'll do nothing over the weekend, where no pve is running.
    But we'll re-run when the next pve starts!"
    You couldn't make that up.

    Also, Twitter now?
    Are they consciously using every channel APART from their official forum?

    So now we're playing Communication Roulette! Place your bets on which method they'll use to communicate about the next problem!

    As someone who remembers these events not giving covers, but instead tokens to a special store where you had to HOPE you pulled the new 5, I'm not opposed to doing the grind again in the slightest. My side nodes didn't even scale past like Lv. 40-50 something, and reaching personal progression was a cakewalk.

    However, I also remember when progressing through these events was NOT a cakewalk, and how I would have been screwed in later rounds had I not been in a good alliance. Putting lower level rosters through this again when they're probably already struggling at the moment just feels cruel. Having such low Alliance Targets this time around felt like a good tradeoff for that, but then folks didn't get them.....so that shouldn't be on the players to push through again.

    Am I to understand that if you join a Boss event when all rounds are completed, you don't get any allliance rewards? Never got to the last round before (and always join pretty early). Personal progression is never a problem IF my ally mates make sure they get the early rounds out of the way soon.

    Better subscribe to that RSS feed just in case.

    I don't know why they just didn't restart it right away when the problem was global and known immediately. It won't take much time to clear it out again, and at least it's an interesting boss event.

    I think that’s one of the things they are waiting to see. They want to see if when the event is over the alliance rewards get pushed through. I guess if that happens then this solution makes sense. Because those who joined late would be getting the rewards they should have gotten and it solves issue #1.

    Lower rosters who can’t complete the side nodes aren’t in that same boat. They’re essentially locked out altogether. So they’re not missing out on rewards they worked for. They are not allowed to work. Hence running it again. So, that way they have a chance to play.

    Weirdly this is making sense unless I’m missing something. But it’s all predicated on the rewards being pushed through at the end, which no one, including the devs, know for sure. If the rewards aren’t pushed through then I’d say everyone gets a free Kang and then rerun the event. Or everyone gets two free Kangs and don’t rerun.
