Other Notes:
Total number of sub-events and overall length of the event has varied.
Normal and Hard subs run side by side. Nodes in the Hard sub give more points than nodes in the Normal sub.
The most recent run-through of the Simulator had no Alliance rewards for the sub-events. Prior runs did have Alliance rewards in the sub-events.
As always, remember that the essential character (and the associated +90 boost) rotates for each phase of the simulator, so Punisher will only be featured for the first set of subs.

Is it wrong that I love this event because scaling kicks all of our butts? So full clears aren’t an option and you get to play at a much more sane pace. I think regular play of essentials and some of the easier nodes can secure top 50 without an issue in my previous experience.
This isn’t going to be introduction of a new character? We’re still at least one event away from that, right?! (Prays to the RNG gods)
My guess is that Iron Fist and Cyclops are the other two boosted threes in there but they could easily do some of the newly unvaulted characters like Daken instead.
Fingers crossed Mystique and/or MnMags are boosted… lol. Only time I’ve used that combo is the last Sim Hard, I’m looking at you Jugs/Colossus/Bagman Node!!
please, please no, daken needs to be an award, not an essential. he vaulted just as i started playing and ive never gotten a chance to get him. (other than taco tokens, but seriously?)
Given the recent attempts to sort of align an event’s starting time with ending time, I’d hope they’d have either 3X24 hours subs or 3X48 hours subs. I suppose they can also do 2X48 or 4X24 or some other combination.
I’ll happily throw my voice the other way. The prizes for placement are excellent. I don’t need any of them, many people don’t need any of them. The 1-2 prize is the least desired Goddess cover, so even competition for that shouldn’t be too crazy.
I’ll play whatever little or lot I want without a care for placement, get some ISO and HP maybe, and enjoy playing silly teams against other silly teams.
So, newbs, now’s your chance to grab the glory while the vets don’t even bother trying to get the top progression cover. They even picked the least-desired 4* Thor cover.
