With her red, you get to pick two locations to destroy 6 tiles each (I'm not sure if I remember what happens after lvl 3 red). With her purple, you pick 6 places to put green tiles - generally, you can do a match-4 in a good spot to wipe a tile or two out.

Don't think so. I don't have either the under or over-leveled bug (somehow) and have unlocked all of the missions except for the last one "Time For Some Answers". I think the final one pays out 200 points, as Imposters Assemble is 150. (Don't think I can overcome 120 * Yelena + Daken + Moonstone without a strong Spidey.)posting.php?mode=edit&f=7&p=46087# Given that I have completed each round exactly once, and with the assumption on the final mission payout, 1 run on each mission equals 1640 points. With a 20% deduction per run, you get 1640 + 1312 + 984 + 656 + 328 = 4920 per run. (Disregarding 1 point runs) Times 3 runs a day (assuming 8 hour refreshes), 4920 * 3 = 14760 per day. Times 5 days + 1 refresh = (14760 * 5) + 4920 = 78720!! So, I am really unsure that the refresh timer is only 8 hours here. That being said, as usual, a **large** chunk of points ( 80 + 150 + 200 ) = 430 + 344 + 258 + 172 + 86 = 1290 per run, 3870 per day, 20640 for the event, locked off if you did not win a Daredevil in the Thick as Thieves event, or buy/win one from the Oscorp Assault Packs.

And her red, with only one cover, only lets you pick one location. At the edge of the board, it only destroys two tiles, but I suppose it might destroy four in the center. I have purple queued up, but it's only two tiles with one cover. And I'm guessing those two can't be countdown tiles. I may just stick with M Black Widow. We'll see.

I could use black widows stun, if I manage to get enough AP in time, but since you can't tell which tile belongs to which goon... well good luck stunning the right one. So basically this event is only meant for people with a blue spidey to do well. Whatever algorithm they're using to calculate the enemy strength based on your roster, it's still flawed and unbalanced. And this is never anything a developer should strife for, to alienate half of their user base... but it seems that's a skill they've mastered in the past week Usually I'm pretty lenient when it comes to bugs, since I'm a programmer myself. Also have endurance working through hard games or grind a lot... but this simply is just frustrating... especially being taunted by the top guys having a roster that you can build in a few days Sadly I'm too competetive for my own good sometimes... I should just accept and let this event pass on me -.-

He's trash, so nothing but an event entry ticket if you're not big into having everyone as insurance against sudden meta leaps, and this is one of the events you'd need him for, if it were worth a damn. If you've got 1 cover, you're good. Might miss out on a tournament buff. Progression carrot: 3 4*s behind grinding every eight hours to the point you'd have to neglect your job/relationships/cat for five days. Not happening. Honestly, the hint is that it's THREE 4*s. They ain't making that easy, unless they screwed up and accidentally left the rubber band on full springiness. I noticed a low-hanging C.Storm I'll check the difficulty of reaching, since I actually want covers for her, but I don't see anything attainable beyond that worth the fuss. Also, if you buckle up and grind your way through this like we (I) did Thick as Thieves, Demiurge's treasured data will just tell them you loved it. If only two psychos who really want those Wolvies and a gaggle of proud mid-level IM35 owners are playing, they might start to suspect something isn't working quite right. I really want to know what the scaling is actually based off, though. Obfuscated systems just make me assume someone's doing something underhanded and want to pick them apart to see what.

My highest available characters are lvl 117 spidey, 63 gsbw, and lvl 35 wolvie. DD only lvl 20. So ill what this all means. Also I'm not grinding this event. I've always been and on and off player and don't have time. Usually I'm a top 100 finisher almost always top 5p in pve and I can tell you now grinding for 5 days won't get you anywhere near 30 for progression rewards not with the rating they are giving and especially not without rubberbanding from others because nobody wants to fight lvl 230. So not only is this hurting ppl getting higher levels but even those that aren't are not moving up anyway. This event should just be cancelled and or post poned.
