No, Bulls-I and SunStone are not usable. Everyone in this event is boosted to 270, so covers matter more than iso invested. Best team is basically Juggernaut-OBW-doesn’t matter. Cyclops maybe to generate headbutts.
It’s even better if you have a 5/5, level 1 Juggernaut, because then he heals in like 10 minutes.
No season, awards most vets don’t need, and burnout from PVE, plus this event getting tedious really fast. I think this may the lowest participation event in a while.
Since no one has yet explained the format to the new players here, allow me.
Basically, your 1,2, and 3 star characters will be boosted, on a prorated basis, to level 270. What does that mean? Let’s say you have Juggernaut. His max level is 40. If you got an unboosted level 40 Juggy, he’s boosted to 270 in BoP. If your guy is less than max, than he won’t be level 270 for this event. Second, four star characters are EXCLUDED from this event. They will be locked and jailed.
What this BoP format does is allow newer players a chance to experience pvp without fear of facing 4 star teams. Character level isn’t as important as max covering your characters. I’ve seen ppl carrying a bunch of level one 5gr/5red covered Juggernaut. Why? Because they’re basically expendable characters to throw into BoP matches. At level 1, the character will revive quickly when he dies. But the max cover means Jug can still do a lot of dmg even unleveled.
This event is something that caters to the new players who may have few characters aside from the covers offered in the chapters. This particular event is one of my favorite personally, because it allows me to roll out a 270 Juggernaut/venom/ironman35 team. And it is AWESOME.
Anyone care to try his luck against this defensive team?
I have been looking forward to this. Last time it ran I got a record number of defensive wins with Deadpool, Storm and Hood.
I’m mostly interested in the 900/1000 point progressions though.
Checking my alt-account, everyone is level 270, regardless of their actual level. And I’m pretty sure 4* aren’t locked out, they just don’t have any advantage because they’re at the regular scaling. Combined Arms is the one where 4* are locked out.
Don’t post if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Not to be mean, but if you’re not sure yet you spread information anyway, you mislead others and provide poor information.
Everything is boosted to 270 regardless of whether or not it is maxed. A level 1 Juggs will be level 270 just like a level 40 Juggs. It doesn’t make any difference.
It’s actually a very common strategy to hold your Juggs to Level 1 for BoP so that his healing rate is off the charts for even a 25k health character.
Ares is even better than the last event wehre he was buffed.
HuIk tanking sick green plus the extra green he gets for anger. plus
SUPER ARES dealing massive amounts of damage
Ioki keeping everyone in check and shaking up the board.
Apparently D3 decided to change the format this year. Yes, all hands on deck now. Last year, there weren’t nearly as many four star characters running amuck!
And yes, flat 270 for every character. For me, that means I can toss in a few one star five blue covered mbws to soak up damage and save on heal packs. Win-win for me!
so let me get this right, for example, a base level40
with 13 covers 5/5/3, let’s say, is doing exactly the same damage and has the same hp as a max level166 5/5/3?
So what you’re saying is this event will fill in your missing
but not your covers?
Remember to check your targets. They’re not all as scary as they appear - I’m seeing a hell of a lot of xforce/goddess teams with only one or two covers. They’re like big ol’ gobstoppers.
