Spoil the hell out of me! icon_e_smile.gif

Simulation 07…damn. That hurts. Level 300 4*'s against my 3* champions? No thank you.

Round One:

Sim 4: 3* Human Torch/Sentry/IM40
Sim 5: Patch/3* Cap/ 3*Falcon
Sim 6: Squirrel Girl/Colossus/Devil Dino
Sim 7: Iceman/Thing/ Scarlet Witch

Essentials Moonstone: Psylocke/2* Human Torch/2* Cap
Essentials Sentry: Starlord/Rocket & Groot/Gamora
Essential Quake: XF Wolverine/Antman/Elektra

Awww, I like Sim as an event, but moony/sentry/quake essentials for Beast rewards? Prob won’t even play the cp nodes on this one.

I was thinking the same thing. I already got the CP’s from the first node, and you can get the 2000 iso reward from one pass. If I’m still top 50 by this evening after everyone’s had a chance to do two passes I may stick with it. Otherwise, it’s time to rest for Enemy of the State.

I saw 30K for progression and figured I’d just do that. now I’m wondering if that is even worth it over the LR days. gotta do the 1 pass for the iso at the top and some node cp at least.

Anytime Thing makes an appearance in Simulator, think Loki.

patch + loki = easy peasy

Wow the heroes for this event are the bottom of the barrel. As only a 6 month old player I do not roster any of the week heroes.

Moonstone, Sentry, and Beast are all heroes that I will not roster saving for other heroes. Guess this PvE event has nothing for me. Least its only a 3 day event.

Ok last mission. Iceman hitting for 7000+??? Really? And what the heck is “white out”? It pretty much mopped the floor with my whole team! It’s like “whales” with ice, not to mention I can barely touch iceman until I can grind through the thing’s entire hp pool forst. I had no idea iceman was so OP

Outside of maybe 4 star+ covers since they’re really hard to come by you should beef up a good 2 star roster first and slowly start bringing in 3 star people. You’re not gonna get anywhere with a roster full of 3 and 4 star people with only 1 or 2 covers a piece. You’re never gonna win anything with that. A roster full of maxed out 2 star is better than that and they can slowly start winning you 3 star covers. Gotta start small.

7K damage isn’t even an over-scaled Iceman. That’s an under-leveled Iceman. Yeah, he’s awesome. And terrible as an opponent.

I thought t10 was originally XFW, now it’s ghost rider… Just turned into a death bracket.

Yes because xforce wolvie is apart of the next pve and I think he’s and opponent rather then usable for pve which is enemy of the state.

is a joke, you can easily defeat them with icon_magneto.png

, just berserker rage SW, let thing make dem def tiles then use loki’s black and take out the thing then it’s game over for the rest.

I tried that, but then Iceman stunned Patch and they took out Loki Before he recovered… I ended up Fisbusting it.

Sim7 is Iceman 280, Thing 280, Switch 281.

Beat it first time by the skin of my teeth using, 3clops 247, mystique 210 and squirel girl 210. I have no idea how.

Tried with Clops, Patch and loki and ripped through it. Thanks Inarius!

is it just me, or are all the nodes exactly the same as last time?

Round 2 (it does look veeeeeery familiar, DAC169)

Sim 4: Blade/QS/ 3* Spidey
Sim 5: C.Mags/Hood/Daredevil
Sim 6: Iron Fist/S. Witch/Kingpin
Sim 7: 4*Cyke/Jean Grey/C. Storm

Essential Moonstone: Rags/2* Marvel/2* Daken
Essential Sentry: 4hor/IMHB/Falcap
Essential Quake: Prof X/Fury/Falcap

Unless you like the cold, probing finger of Wilson Fisk, target Kingpin 1st in Sim 6.

I think I lucked into a Casual bracket due to my late start yesterday (no health packs after Thick as Thieves) and found it easy to get into the T10 at the end of the 1st sub, so I guess I’m in for the haul on this one. But now that they switched the reward from XFW to Ghost Rider, that’s a more appealing situation anyway.
