Essential nodes with Carnage & Moonstone in a 7 day PVE? Yes, that will definitely be fun!

[Rumakashi]

What is the duration of the two repeatable missions we have on the main event ?

[turbomoose]

Was hoping to know the answer to this as well

If they are to disappear after 24 hours then I’ll do them all I’m guessing the sentry battle will stay for the week

Though any confirmation on what’s happened on previous events would be good to know as I’m hoping for my first top 5 finish having had the good fortune of having a champion moonstone before I sell her in a couple of covers time

[bbf2]

The node on the main hub stays throughout the 7 days.

I’ve seen Norman say “Target practice? On MY agents?” sooooooooooooooooooo many times…

At least we have X-23 and Daken boosted this week. I only recently championed Laura, but having two regen-ers makes Carnage the only one that might require a healthpack at my scaling (though X-23/Daken may need to heal via other nodes).

my carnage only has level two green right now so no self-screwjobs for me
did his first two nodes with IM40 and Kate Bishop

[deadtaco]

This event is such a slog. Easy way to spruce it up would be to ditch 3 subs and extend the first 3 to 48 hours each! Nice, easy, relaxing 7 day event.

Really? I hate 48 hour subs. At least if you have to endure 7 days with minimal rewards, you should get some sort of token every day.

[deadtaco]

@BlackWidower

Really? I hate 48 hour subs. At least if you have to endure 7 days with minimal rewards, you should get some sort of token every day.

48 hour subs are the best. You do 4 full clears, wait 24 hours (or more) do another clear and wait till the end of the sub to maybe do one more clear - 6 cleared nodes, all the XP from 6 clears. Then you start up the next 4 clears when the next sub starts.

With 24 hours - it’s 4 full clears, maybe another before it closes, immediately followed by 4 more clears … on and on non stop.

I like a little break, it keeps me from burning out.

Agree on the token thing.

[sambrookjm]

I’m not minding Carnage being boosted this event because X23 and 3-star Daken are also boosted. On my roster, those two are high enough that X23 tanks everything but Blue and Black, which Daken handles. Carnage never matches tiles. Yay!

Edit - Of course, I just noticed I joined in at #976 in my bracket. Oh well…

Heh, I just have 1
for Carnage, so I’m basically doing the opposite as you: planning my team so he tanks as many colors as possible in the hope that he dies quickly. I was happy to get him from a token after the first sub until I saw the color. By the time I have gathered enough AP for a thief/neutralizing character, those stupid goons have shot off quite a few powers.

I just got through the Carnage required node for the fifth time, where 2-star Bullseye, Lieutenant and a Spy were all LVL 306. X-23 started with 28K health, and ended it with just over 5K. Lieutenant healing everyone for 2300 health every other turn made it very difficult, even when I was trying to take him out first. Eventually I got a trap tile to stick, but I had to use it to kill the Spy, as she had a lot of her Silent Strike tiles out.

Time to change X-23 to 4/5/4 for SUPER HEALING in easier nodes…

[Moon_Roach]

I shall be very sad when Dr Strange is no longer boosted.

I grind almost every event. I barely notice what event it is at this point - the only thing I care about is 24 or 48 hour sub. I do love a couple 48s here and there those are the off days when I do my 5th clear.

I will usually steal a day or two off during Gauntlet or boss events - it’s enough. And when it’s not I’ll take more

[monsieurmojo]

Totally forgot about the joys of Human Torch + green feeder goon.

That’s almost as much fun as Hulk’s Anger triggering every single turn on the Carnage Required node…

So many crits hitting Carnage.
Finished him and another character off in about 4 seconds. Luckily I had saved up enough yellow and black for Cage to punch him into oblivion. Did my 4 clears and never even contemplated trying for more.
