It’s almost a relief to be back to the regular steer manure of 15K health Muscles plopping down +600 damage strike tiles.

And for some reason it’s still feel better than Boss Rush…

Does the loaner stay on the main mode throughout the event?

Yes

Which is the 2* placement reward?

There is none.
Elite tokens.

i am always confused at events, that have a 48hrs subnode…

how to play these? u can only play a mission 4 times for max pts. missions have 6 rewards. but 2 days should be 8 times max points/rewards.
i never seem to get max progression

any tips how to farm mediterranean for example?

Do 4 clears in the beginning.
Do 1 clear 24 hours after that.
Do 3 clears in the last 90 minutes.

The Storm cover made her my first 3-star to get up to LVL 200. Only 66 more levels to go before I can start a farm for 3-star characters! icon_e_biggrin.gif

Lower levels should have 2* cover as a reward - I’m asking because I need one slot and I need to know if I can rid of my 1-cover temporary Wolvie+Hawkeye or not

thats it? thats how you do it? but i think its still less than 8 times max points, isnt it?

I guess it`s 2*-Cap.

According to the reward chart above, it looks like 2 star.png
icon_captainamerica.png
is the CL3/CL4 prize, which typically means it’s the required 2 star.png
in the following event. This is along with 3 star.png
icon_deadpool.png
and 4 star.png
icon_iceman.png
.

edit: updated

Of course it’s less than 8 times max points, you can’t reach that with 24 hour timers.
It’s 5 clears at full points, plus 3 clears end grind.

According to my notes, the next required star.png
star.png
is icon_captainamerica.png

Looks like a lot of people don’t know how to play this event. In my bracket in slice 5, I was first to 14805 in sub 2. Right now, with another 30 hours to go in this sub, I’m back in #27. Why?!? Not that I really care, that’s 26 players I don’t have to worry about if I push for placement.

Why are the one time only nodes only 500 ISO and barely any points for progression?

I know in the past we’ve had nodes that were, like, 3000 ISO and a decent amount of points to make me want to play the node. Especially since they are higher scaled than usual. Now it seems that MAYBE I’ll get to it if I’m bored and done with everything else. icon_e_sad.gif

Why do they give out as rewards star.png
star.png
icon_wolverine.png
when essential for next event is icon_captainamerica.png
? Two-star rewarded in event always essential for next event, right ?

I believe the only one-time nodes with high iso rewards are the ones in Simulator (Simulator 07, I believe) and Iso-8 Brotherhood (I think that’s the one, anyway…it’s where Magneto teams up with Fury). Those are also substantially more difficult scaled than the one-time nodes in this event.
