I know a stunner helps a lot when fighting Carnage. This time, I guess that means
…

[StevO-J]

I have reported about the Carrier symbiotes passive in the Bugs & Technical Issues section. If there is only one Carrier and multiple tiles to buff, the passive is buffing twice (so 2 times 2 tiles buffed = 4 buffs total) in my experience. At least, it was so during the times I fought them in DDQ over the past weeks, and I have yet to start this event because I usually play in Slice 3. Can anyone say if this is still happening? Don’t think I’ve read anything in patch notes about it (not everything changed is written down in updates in News & Announcements) so it could be stealth fixed… Was it an exception that this happened to me? Am I slowly losing my grip on reality because of the PVE test? All of the above…?

If not anything else it would be nice to see it’s not just me losing my sanity and imagining things.

In my opinion the Symbiotes can be a real pain and make this a challenging event to say the least, so it would be nice to see it is not even more difficult than it should be.

[Lukoil]

ahhhh trivial nodes… :feelsgoodman:

@Lukoil

ahhhh trivial nodes… :feelsgoodman:

not watching every node you beat go up 15 levels every time… priceless.

[ZootSax]

I’m not sure if it’s the return of trivial nodes or that I’m just more used to symbiotes from DDQ lately, but this event hasn’t seemed as bad this time around. Hopefully I’ll still feel the same way come Monday…

[slidecage]

how do people usually play this..

8 hour 8 hour then grind at the end like normal PVE BUT since this pve is such a HP eater. wouldnt it be best to start at the start and just grind everytime you have 10 hp left.

cause like this full clear was around 2900

2900 then 2900 then when you go into final grind if you hit a bad board you be lucky to get one more clear compair to someone who might do 7 or 8 with not full pts

You mean when
generating minions are paired with Carnage?

[pabasa130]

Championed Vision. No ragrets. Works wonders with X Force and either Falcon or Loki.

I thought Mr Fantastic and Red Hulk would have nice compatibility (pair with a red and yellow for rainbow or Falcon for special tile healing) but so far they suck… Maybe it would work against carnage, throwing special tiles everywhere.

Symbiotes appears to be the only event where I can lose with the loaner team.

…damn and blast. I think I somehow repressed that memory.

[Krongle]

I keep forgetting how much I despise symbiotes. They are in heavy competition with the Ultron bots when it comes to being pains in the neck. Tinykitty everything about them!

[system]

Is anyone else having issues with the difficulty in this event? I am getting slaughtered! Using my best boosted characters I can’t even get past ‘a boy and his dogs’ node on the first try!

[AlexRiot]

Seriously, the last node with Venom is insane, the 2 Symbiote which pump him and Venom deal between 3k and 6k every 2-3 turn
I use a team Thor-BP-KK which seems good but…

Yeah that node does seem pretty tough. I’m using the same team, and if things don’t go well in the beginning, I usually end up losing at least 1 hero. I was trying to think of another teammate besides BP that is more synergistic, but there’s nobody else that is good and boosted.

Try Kamala Vision and IM40. Get yellow for recharge, then drop V’s blue and then you get red aoe, followed by kk’s green aoe. Then clean up whatever is left standing.

This event is pretty much one of the hardest PVE. For those 1st nodes, you might as well use the loaners, the 3 chars they chose have little synergy so don’t bother wasting health packs.

Also, the selection of powered-up chars is pretty bad this time around so great timing whoever picked them

[system]

I’ve enjoyed this game for well over a year until recently. I can understand having problems with game balance with long time players with high level characters(and a nice assortment of 4 and 5 star characters) and newer players just starting out. It seems like in this event, if you don’t have high level 3/4 star or some 5 star characters, your going to have a a very difficult time and won’t finish anywhere near the top 10 rankings for the event. In my opinion, it seem to be making this game even more P2Win/Compete, which is a very disappointing route that recent changes have taken this fun game. I hope they realize this during this “testing”.

[Inarius]

been having quite the blast with
XF
and
, easiest way to get black aside from pairing him with SW and IF

Symbiotes appears to be the only event where I can lose with the loaner team.

This loaner team is crap. Only has 4 colors covered & they don’t work together at all.
