I, on the other hand, was unsuccessful and wiped out with this team.
Got close but when OBW went down early with cMags firing off Magnetized Projectiles - essentially one-shotting her at about full health - I knew it was probably a no go.
Even with 2 Windstorms, I couldn’t take down IM35 down fast enough and his Repulsor Beam & Ultra Freon Beam took out AWolv.
With a bad board lacking any blue or green, match damage took out cStorm.
The only positive is that the node scaling dropped to 90/91/91.
I must just suck at this game as I have used up all my health packs trying to finish Family Reunion VII. I rarely make it through a single clear without using all my
which contributes to my inefficient playing style waiting for
to regen up to 3.
Just finished my 2nd. Zero health packs used thus far, though I have alternated OBWs. Don and company are at 198 now.
Also, what a terrible, terrible bracket this is. SItting in 38th, surrounded my forumites, almost all different than the first screen shot I posted. Going to be a 5-day war for the top prizes.
Since IM35 has the highest blue power, it is random whether the AI saves up for IM35, and this decision is made independently. That is, suppose they’re sitting at 15 blue AP, they can choose to use Magnetized Particles (10), or skip it and use Cook the Books (8), or none of the above. If possible, keep Magneto stunned some of the time will obviously eliminate any chance of him deciding to use Magnetized Particles and hopefully you get the far less devastating Cook the Books instead.
Likewise you have the same issue with yellow, as Don has a relatively weak yellow (generate AP, but they already have a boatload of it) compared to what the other two can do with yellow.
That’s it in a nutshell. With the Don feeding Magneto blue and yellow (and IM35 yellow too,) you have to down Magneto quickly or you’ll be incapable of harming his team as he “Magnetized Projectiles” you to death. With a lucky cascade he one-shotted my 155 Psylocke with that…
Don’t forget that Iron Man has the blue Ultra-Freon Beam power too. It isn’t as likely to go off given the high cost, but it definitely happened to me last time I played the node.
I give up. Family Reunion VII at level 235 has wiped my entire roster, boost or no boost. I went in with fully boosted Sentry/Daken/Hood, and fired WR on the second turn. Magneto promptly one-shot Hood with his blue, matched away my Sacrifice tile, then put down his protect tiles on the next turn. I might as well have gone in with Bullseye/Bagman/Yelena for all the good it did me.
Me.
And people thought that my 5/3/5 wouldn’t come in handy. With so many characters, building her for specialized duty was the way to go imo. I had to bring her to 166 for this event though. Running cap marvel, lcap, xf for that node. Node started out ok at level 203 but is now a bit ridiculous at level 245.
although i havent stared this kittyshow of an event, i can echo the utility of a 5 red captain marvel. I built mine @ 553 from the jump bc i saw more value in being able to clear the board of all those annoying and sometimes ubet buffed protect tiles than the AP generation from her tellow passive
Seems like we won’t have any repeat on sub at this rate. I’m guessing the next sub is going to be 48H and we get 24H to wrap up the main bracket, and depending on whether they’re repeatable or not it’s either going to be a victory lap or a bloodbath in the last 24 hours.
