I can’t seem to win any fight in this event without losing at least one character. Problems:

  • Featured Cyclops. Brutal damage on red and black, massive (16, 17, 18K!) health pool.
  • Boosted Blade. Bleed, bleed, bleed. The one I just beat had a 5-cover black which savagely drained me of red. Leading to Optic Blasts or Mjolnir’s Might.
  • Boosted Thor. Lots of freaking health. Call the Storm hurts.

I’ve tried running any combo of the weekly boosteds - all of whom I have champed - and the results are the same. I can win, but it’s just brutal on health packs.

Last match: Cyc/Thor/Blade vs mirror team. Enemy Cyc wasn’t even fully covered. Result = dead Cyc, dead Blade, Thor 3h5 healing time. 41 points.

Why do I freaking bother.

3

I’ve found it can be better to use a non boosted character to speed things up. Iron Fist and/or Scarlet Witch can work.

4

Rulk is a monster.
Boosted to 392 i’m running him instead of 435 Phoenix.

5

Don’t have a decently covered Rulk…

I scratched & clawed to 400 at the cost of 5 more health packs. I quit.

6

This whole week has been brutal. Not sure if it’s just rulk being the only great 4* boosted this week or if something else is going on.

I can typically float for an hour+ between 600 and 700 points, and I often hit 1k or even 1080 before my first shield.

In both events this week so far I have struggled to float above 500 and had to start shielding around 800.

7

I agree its been brutal, but I’m shocked I haven’t needed to dip into tacos for packs. thought for sure last night I would but managed. barely. was down to 1 at one point. next week might be easier after carnage and rulk weeks. cyke isn’t played nearly as well by AI.

8

to be fair the ai doesnt exactly play rulk “well”. it just gamma siphons on 7 purple and claps on 9 green. not exactly optimal play. its just that both moves hurt regardless especially aoe green at 360+.
