    My Team is only @ round 6.  I have found these strategies to work for me.

    Brute force ---

    There are 4 stars that may be able to one shot Apoc A fully realized Cap Marvel, Cyclopes, Wolverine. Just make sure you have someone on your team that has a stronger color than your one shot color.. or you will racing against Famine.  At around round 6 you will start to need a little more than just one shots... so save up all the attacks and fire them at once.

    Biding Time ---

    You could choose to fight down what seems the endless onslaught of the four horse man.  But for that you need a sure fire way to get those attack and countdown tiles.

    Selectable Tile changers/destroyers such as 4* Star Lord, Quake, Cho hulk... are handy here.  3* you have cap America, Storm, quicksilver, help change the board as well and Just stock multiple attacks and keep a healer such as beast, kamala or even 2* widow (making sure her color is never match able) on your team to help you win.

    This can be a lengthy process but if you just don't have a higher tier teams it becomes a great option.

    My team choices

    5*Phoenix, 4*Cyke, 4*Wolverine (they are boosted so it's the reckoning team)

    4* Marvel, 4*Start Lord, 3* Beast

    3*Cap America, Kamala, Cyke/quick silver

    Wondering what SL9 mindless ones will be like on the 5* fight 

    Could be fun

    This time last year I had to set aside hours to play boss rush, because each boss fight took 15-20 minutes with KK/Storm/Hulk.  This year turned out great, but last year also gave Peggy covers.  I would've thrown a parade if this year gave Rogue.

    Apocalypse definitely turned out a lot better than expected. The boss fights were fun and challenging. I used Riri/Gwenpool/IM40 in Rounds 1-7 but then switched to my fave team, C4rol/Wasp/Medusa, for Round 8.

    Classic Cyke, TeenJean and IM40 has been my best team. From round 1 till round 8.....Challenging but fun. 
    The worst part of this Anniversary event were the token given as rewards.....Elektra and Venom does NOT seem to be worth the efforts spent during this long week-end  :'(    (just my bad luck)

    So what you are basically saying is Mes Amis is a horrible deal, you will ignore past precedence, and we should advise our fellow players not to purchase it and wait for Gambit to move into Latest Legendary. Gotcha.
    Exactly this! I opened enough Mes Amis tokens to pull one gambit cover to make sure I'm set for when he is essential for pve. Of course I pulled 2 phx covers. One red and one green. My phx is 5/1/5. Naturally they won't swap these. D3 doesn't have a clue what customer service is.

    What is Danger Room?
    Pure guess on my part, but a PvP where the powered up list is anyone with the X-Men affiliation.

    I was wondering about Gambit's PVP myself and checked the article again. His PVP is named Ragin' Cajun and is scheduled for the 15th of October. Doesn't look like he'll enter the tokens at the start of the next season...

    Having the new 5* Gambit boosted for the currently running PvP is a surprise as well. 90 levels? Wow.
    Is this a new thing for a 5* to be boosted among the others for the week? Even outside of PvE?
    I realize that off-season PvP often boosted some 5's, but just like 7-10 levels. This is... different.

    Actually, that is right on time for him. The Anniversary season ends 10/15 or 16.  Ragin' Cajun will end on 10/18 for S5.  The next season will start 10/19.  So he could enter tokens then.

    Oh, I didn't consider off-season! That brings him right on track again. Thanks for the heads up.

    There doesn't seem to be double ISO for Lightning rounds.  Also, last year, double iso also applied to intercept bonuses, but not this year?

    I hope they fix this as fast as they fixed Mes Amis token rates

    @fmftint LOL. Come on.  Only when it hurts them will they fix something quickly.

    I had thought the bonuses were doubled too, but thought maybe I had been remembering that wrong. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

    I really liked the idea of hazard tiles in PVE but it seems like a really bad addition to PvP.

    X-men themed event. With no boosted x-men. Sounds about right. 
    Really wanted to play with Iceman and was looking forward to Danger Room. What a completely wasted opportunity.
