[BOSS EVENT] GALACTUS IS HERE: 10/09/25 - 10/12/25

Scaling to roughly 60 levels above your roster (mine's 360, facing 430). I imagine by Sunday it will be 100 or so levels above.

You can stun all the side nodes so it's easy to do with BrB/Polaris if you get stuck.

He's a push over.

First thing I discovered is that Polaris start of turn passive doesn't count as your turn so you can double max damage him each turn, once on her passive and then again via powers/tile matching. It means he goes down fast. Bring on the 7 stars

I just ran a match against him with beta ray bill, Polaris and mthor with omnipotence city. Turns out the extra lightning hits from omnipotence city also don't get prevented by his passive

Also, he can trigger the traps omni city makes on his turn for more damage

I was coming to add Omni City, working well with MThor. Ally mate also said Mephisto tiles also trigger on the bosses turn, so that can help too.

I did notice a few times he seemed to heal without firing his blue. I randomly ended up with a 5th turn & he still had 300-1,000 health left a couple of times. That could be due to a rounding issue with his damage cap being % based, though.

Scaling to roughly 60 levels above your roster (mine's 360, facing 430).

The idea is probably that, since we’re only fighting one enemy each time instead of three, they’re levelled higher than they would be otherwise. Hope that doesn’t spin completely out of control on further refreshes, though.

Heralds are between 617 and 625 for me.

I've just used teams I normally use and it's been fairly easily...

Though I did get inspired by a multiple man write up by White bomber in another thread and used MM, Coulson, and Carol (Coulson and Carol 4a5, MM left at 4*) a few times this morning for funsies.

I am fully behind making this much harder, there's some jeopardy now but as usual it's done with zero thought.

You cannot win people over making the same rewards much harder when they took no effort before. Condense those rewards so everything they got before they get at 400k or 500k (as a rough estimate) then add more rewards for the increased difficulty. Why is that so hard?

I've not lost a fight or barely lost any health and I'm on R8 level 610+ but to be clear it's because BRB is bypassing the damage against the boss with omni and Polaris is still useful pre nerf.

If it gets to the point lots of people are getting less rewards for much more effort this is only going one way. Increase the effort and increase the rewards.

Absolutely. If the new CL10 is going to be at this level (and I hope it is) then the rewards need to be much better than the current CL10 stuff. Otherwise, why would anybody choose to move up?

Hopefully this boss event is just a one-off to demonstrate the new scaling and the new character.

Feedback:

So it looks like my alliance won’t get close to finishing round 8 but I guess that fits the Devs design. It is a bit jarring as this hasn’t happened for years but none of us have any right to win.

One thing the Devs might wanna address is Galactus heal. For my roster it was no issue as my characters are high enough level to take the setback and carry on but I think this could be devastating for lower rosters who make progress against him only to be setback and then lose. Of course those lower rosters shouldn’t expect to win but a sure fire way to bleed interest is doing the Charlie Brown thing where the ball gets yanked away.

Kangvell made those herald matches one and done

Are the heralds supposed to jump to 500+ level in round 3 of this?

My other alliance members are reporting the heralds at level 27.
