    What's the strategy for the new minion types? They're ripping my best teams to shreds in just a few turns.
    Kitty/Polaris/BRB usually does the trick. It helps to put Carol's Communicator on BRB, since he will likely take most of the damage at first. After a while it won't matter, because the damage you receive will be minimal.

    I don't like a goon having a turn 0 invis.

    When playing with Polaris, It also helps to have them not in front, as her start-of-turn damage turns them invisible immediately. Have another character take the start of turn damage, then (if you have the AP) stun them before they turn invisible and down them before the stun wears off. Don't save them for last.

    And this is why the limited roster would have been an adventure if they had only allowed 10-15 characters . People have already cowered off hiding behind their meta teams . And only 2nd day

    You're free to put up any team of your own choosing. If you want to make it challenging for yourself, be my guest. I just gave an advice to someone who asked for it.

    Not arguing that , just saying I could imagine total anarchy here if Kitty and Polaris and a few hundred others would have been shut out like last months event

    Those are not goons. They are 5* Black Panther.

    They're bullies is what they are. 

    They're goons that you actually need to think about to fight. I love them.

    But seriously I would say most people that participate in forums or anything of that nature for this game are likely in the top 10%. Go and look at how many alliances there are and how many people in those that don't even have any characters in the +300 range let alone a single champ 5.
     

    I'm not on the top 10% in any event and I participe a bit on the forums(actually it can be checked watching top scores).
    I'd change top 10 for the word "interested", or "active", or "committed".
    Under these 3 words, and taking some advice, anyone can champ all the 5*s, even more now.
    Personally I'm doing the nodes in 1 minute plus another one for Gorr.
    Next time perhaps I will enjoy the boss event, I hope.

    Grocket/Polaris/Juggs works wonders too since Juggs hits them all with his AOE damage boosted by the strike tile damage whenever he makes a match (pretty much always due to his match damage boost).  In addition to Carols Communicator, Lucky the Pizza Dog also gives true healing when your special tiles are matched. On this team put those healing supports on Juggs.

    They only work on heroes.

    Can someone that is in Round 8 please help?  I am curious how many points a full clear will earn?  Trying to figure out how close my alliance is to actually beating all rounds.   Currently 2/5 through round 7.

    Anyone know which Event tokens did this Waking Nightmare PVE take its stash from? It is because as this is a new PVE Alliance event, I have already quite a few tokens in its vault when it start.

    I'm likely gonna miss out on full progression rewards for both personal and alliance tracks, only like half my alliance is active, and I spent like a full 24 hours plus in bed sick mid event unfortunately. Oh well. Still appreciate the regular boss events with solid rewards from the new devs. I also liked both the new style of no required characters we got this time around and the heroic reduced usable characters from the last one. Fun variation. Hope they keep it up.

    Maybe we could get an alliance boss event with required characters like the standard boss events, then a harder heroic rerun of the event every month, plus an additional non alliance boss event for the new 5* of the month, where you can play solo, at your own pace, with any team of characters you want. Or we could choose from varied difficulty levels of each boss event to participate in, like an SCL for boss events sorta. No character requirements for SCL 1, required character nodes for SCL 2, heroic character restriction for SCL 3. You could eam better personal rewards for each progressive SCL, or just more points per node for the more difficult versions. That way the players who are down for increased difficulty get rewarded for their effort, but the players who don't like the restriction aren't forced to play the heroic version of the event to play it at all. Incentivize the players to take the challenge rather than require them to.

    Just a guess but initially the artwork was Gargantos so maybe that?

    I noticed that the goons that put down green cd don't create them in green basic tile. I had a purple match-4 next turn and it destroyed my match-4 by turning one of the purple tiles to green cd.

    My Alliance was able to finish Round 8 and no doubt the loaners and lack of requirement of Essentials was a massive help to some of our younger roster players so it will be very interesting to see what happens when the event is re-run again (assuming that it is going to be of course).

    This will be especially interesting when you can't bring Characters who mitigate the damage from the invisible goons.
    Doing this with the Dark Avengers would have been... Not fun.
