Boosted Elektra I will treat like boosted IW and hit without fear. I approve the 4* list (besides RHulk) especially with every 3* on the list champed.

Are you a 3 star player? If so, I wouldn’t take TAH boosted as nothing to worry about. Especially in a week in which Rulk is also boosted. His blue going off every 4 turns will wear you down if you focus on Rulk (which you should). Meanwhile, you are not going to stop Rulk’s green from going off with now two sources of green production, one in TAH blue and one from Rulk’s purple. Throw in charged tiles from TAH black and you know you are getting hit with multiple greens from Rulk. Maybe you will get lucky though and TAH will use green instead.

Not many have him champed so that’s why I’m not really worried about him. Some will, but I’ll skip. I don’t expect to see him all that much. Elektra either, really. It’s going to be all RHulk all the time.

Rulk is going to wreck Dr Strange event

Any word on when we’ll see 3* strange in the DPD rotation?

Yet another RHulk boosted Week. This time with the 4star green generator also boosted.. and surprisingly both announced pvp events feature green generators. Betting the third pvp in his week is either Switch or Thor then.

Just to see how miserable a week can be.

im i overthinking this

Doctor event coming up

how im taking it

1 path will give you a 3 star
1 path will give you a 4 star
1 patch will give you the 5 star

right?

In the Dr. Strange announcement, they said we would see Red Shift followed by a Dr. Strange PVP this season. That seems to fit in right after Smash Hit.

Insert Puke emoji.

This week is going to be worse than anything Boss Rush related.

Not a good buff list for me. icon_e_sad.gif
Looks like I’ll have to rely on RNGesus is help me get Dr. Strange.

wonder if the strange pve will have the normal boost list or a special boost list like the boss events. is there any indication/confirmation of the type of event? alliance locked? normal pve? ???

and boosted rulk week is not fun in pvp, but sure is fun in pve. or at least faster, which, for me is fun.

I’m happy Strange can counterattack those annoying Dark Avengers. Come at me Juggs! I’ll hit you right back!

I can’t wait to use… His 3* version lol. I wouldn’t mind seeing some more 3*s scattered throughout the year.

The following comments are purely my personal speculation based upon recent evidence in game of how demi/d3 is thinking.

It’ll be alliance locked
Top 1 finisher in each alliance will win a single 3Strange cover - the other 19 will get Yelena
Rosters will be locked like Heroics with only the boosted list playable
Boss node will be worse than Pheonix boss - only 1 in 1million fights will result in a player win - and you’ll need to pass the boss node to start any of the subs
You’ll have to start each of the subs blind as to the prize received and only 1 will offer a token offering 10% chance of 5strange.

Predictive modelling ahead of the event running suggests that 1 5strange cover will be given out through this event and Demi/D3 hope the player base appreciates their generosity in allowing a single player to have a single cover for the new 5* hood who’s health is so weedy he comes with a sick note for PVP in the hopes the other 5*s take it easy on him.

And the depressing bit - one or two of those statements might actually be true

Is it just me or is rulk boosted way more than any other 4* ?

I hate boosted rulk week…tedious, frustrating

That’s a good question. I’d like to know about tokens, too. I mean, generally, new 4s and 5s roll into the tokens at the start of a new season, so I figure that’s what’ll happen with the 3* Strange, but it’d be nice to know, too.

Of course, asking for more communication of information from the devs is a bit of a “when pigs fly” kind of thing, so odds are we’ll just find out when they announce that it’s happening. :confused:

The following was in the Marvel.com article and makes me think it is a normal pve:

Josh Austin: The Doctor Strange Story Event will conclude Monday, November 7, 2:00 AM EDT. The event will enter the normal Event rotation once it has concluded.

The STEAM covers actually make me want to pull more Chulks icon_eek.gif

Wow, I have all four 4*s champed for next week! PVE will be nice.

Well, there’s a Boss, so obviously.

Top 1 finisher in each alliance will win a single 3Strange cover - the other 19 will get YelenaThe Strange cover makes sense, but 5-2 should get the required 2 star for next event (Bullseye?). And, realistically, tokens for the rest.
Rosters will be locked like Heroics with only the boosted list playableYou shouldn’t suggest things like this. Just… no.
Boss node will be worse than Pheonix boss - only 1 in 1million fights will result in a player win - and you’ll need to pass the boss node to start any of the subsThat was a silly joke to make since the post directly stated you have to pass through the chapter to get to the boss, not the other way around. The Boss part sounds right though, sad to say.
You’ll have to start each of the subs blind as to the prize received and only 1 will offer a token offering 10% chance of 5strange.Blind, yes. Each has the Sanctum token though. Again, that was directly stated, so it was a silly joke to make. (probably will become an LT in later runs).

Predictive modelling ahead of the event running suggests that 1 5strange cover will be given outLoL, wut? icon_lol.gif
given out. Given out. That kind of optimism has no place in this game or on this forum.
through this event and Demi/D3 hope the player base appreciates their generosity in allowing a single player to have a single cover for the new 5* hood who’s health is so weedy he comes with a sick note for PVP in the hopes the other 5*s take it easy on him.Well, 5 star.png
Hood makes a depressing amount of sense. “You didn’t care about him before in comics. Now get ready to not care about him in game all over again! With the might of Dormamu… Dormmamu? One sec… Okay, Dormammu, he can, um, redistribute your AP randomly at the beginning of your turn, moving up to ten AP from your largest pool to the others (including team up). And he can shoot things, with his pistols, because it’s some kind of demon pistol? Say, does anyone know why that one ends the turn!?.. Reasons?.. Let’s go with recoil. He’s scrawny, so he can’t handle recoil. Guys! Maybe that one should be a stun!.. Already coded to end turn? So, yeah, it ends the turn. And… how about fire? Demon fire! I’m being told it’s something else, but the whales spent so much, I’m just going to retire and say DEMON FIRE! I’m out!”
