[stochasticism]

Sub 1 reinforcements anyone?

[Lukoil]

Cyclops 3*, Human Torch 2*… also 2* storm is mentioned but for some reasons she is locked.

[slidecage]

@Lukoil

Cyclops 3*, Human Torch 2*, Storm

anyone remember round 2 and 3 or do they change everytime this is ran

[stochasticism]

@Lukoil

Cyclops 3*, Human Torch 2*… also 2* storm is mentioned but for some reasons she is locked.

Is it 1* storm?

ohhhh yeah. probably her. I don’t have her in my roster=) Storm (modern)

[TxMoose]

I know they just expanded the boosted 4s, but is there any reason, given that the core of the game has risen/is rising to 4* play, that there shouldn’t be a 4* reinforcement? kinda silly to me to force the progression of the game to 4* play, along with scaling, but keep only 3s as the top reinforcements (not to mention awards based on a 2/3* core gameplay). this is especially true after the 3* nerfhammer hit.

[pabasa130]

What a shitty list of usable characters. Very few support characters.

• • Only depending on KK for grinding for her heals.
• Falcons redwing is too unreliable but it’s the only way to deal with countdown tiles.
• Mr Fantastic is boosted, which I can use since he’s level 145 (levelled for DDQ4) but no one else creates special tiles to heal him back.

Ugh.

[Krongle]

On the bright side - seems like a lot of people are skipping this PVE, so ranking high should be a bit easier than usual. Perhaps understandably so, with Flaptain being the T10 reward. I still “need” covers for him, so I’m gunning for it

at least the game is easy

Cy and kahn first stage
Gamma and kahn 2nd stage

just playing the ess 4 times and the easy nodes 3 times hard nodes twice is good enough for top 50. Flaptain isnt worth the hassle. I just need the 3 daredevil to add 3 more champ levels

[Daiches]

Did anyone else’s scaling spike hugely in second sub? Hard nodes went from 240-260 (congruent with available roster) to maxed 326 on all hard nodes in second sub (as if I had full roster).

I won the first sub and now I can’t even touch the hard nodes in the second sub. Wow

Yeah the Hood and his muscle bound buddies have my number. I’ve tried every combination and ran thru every health pack. Best I did was kill the Hood and get a Muscle to half.

[rawl316]

Yeah my scaling had a huge bump. This sucks.

[motownjunkie]

3rd sub reinforcements are Squirrel Girl, OBW and IM35.

[slidecage]

@motownjunkie

you sure i did not see im 35..then again who is im35

[ZootSax]

Patch, OBW & 2* Steve is surprisingly effective against high level goons. Things can fall apart fast, but as long as you don’t stall early, OBW quickly becomes a killing machine (Steve is the only enemy strike tile remover I had)

The teams you discover in heroics can be interesting…at least for one event.

[ApocryphicV]

This PvE has taught me, Mr. Fantastic with the right team actually works pretty well. My favorite combo right now is Patch/Mr. F/Falcon. Patch is the workhorse but Mr. F is working well with his black (when you add Patch’s strike tiles the dmg goes through the roof) and blue and any time his health gets low I use Falcon’s purple to spam the screen with protect tiles and the opponent is bound to match one of those to heal him.

[JackTenrec]

It’s not particularly health-pack efficient, but Patch + Squirrel Girl can bring some serious hurt.
