Unless otherwise noted, my toons were mostly 110/G20. This week is a little harder than previous weeks.

Note: you can also swap 31 and 32 and use Odin with Brimstone.

31. Undying. Exploit Greg rewind. Especially on Ikaris.

32. Brimstone minus Elsa plus Phantom Rider

33. Dread w/ Sable

34. Superior Spider-Man, Hobgoblin, Vulture, GGC, Mysterio. (My GGC and Mys were g19 105. Heavy RNG. Mysterio is there to speed up Vulture when his mirrors die and to prevent immunity. If he lives long enough to AB Apoc with his special, you have it.

35. New Mutants minus Sunspot plus Mighty Storm. Save her ult for second wave.

36. Franklin, Sue, Johnny, Quasar, Mephisto

37. Omen minus Cull plus Executioner

38. Sym6

39. AA

40. Exalted minus Morph plus Spidey. (AA and Exalted reset and are able to be used on 40).the extra Scorpion that spawns is just a minion, dies easy.

Looking at the Epic Campaign photo, the next breaker is hidden in shadows but there is no mistaking the fingernails-of-a-bag-lady having fuzzy neckerchief having Sabretooth.

Hopefully he is worthy of a nickname. Surfer Breaker is just Breaker and Scorpion Breaker is just called Scorpion because he isn't good enough to have a nickname.

Unless we take them into super vanilla opponents with very minor punch ups it is way too easy to take them so low that they can't bounce back.

They have no sustain even at g20 110 3D (even Scorpion, I worked hard on that scourge)

Throw one single toon on the teams they are kinda good against (Exalted) like Executioner that goes early and boom it doesn't matter how big your dread is.

They go from being able to kinda being able to beat vanilla teams to the clean up after a sack.

No one wants to invest in the follow up to the sack team and it really makes all the effort that was put into the Scorpion Scourge feel like it wasn't worth it.

Here is who I used. Most are G20 110. Some need the size, most don't. I gave suggestions where I could.

11. Immortal Weapons minus IFWW2 plus Mephisto.

12. Retcon minus Deadpool plus Odin. Jeff was useful on this, you might be able to pair him and Odin with someone else not used below.

13. Insidious 6. I used GGC over Shocker but I think Shocker would have done fine.

14. Symbiote 6 minus Knull plus Carnage.

15. Fantastic 4 plus Quasar. Save Quasar and Sue Ult til Odin drops.

16. Shadow Conclave

17. Omen minus Cull plus Knull. Chunky team helps.

18. Phoenix Force plus X and Darkstar.

19. New Mutants (super easy)

20. Exalted. Storm ult, otherwise use all specials on X, Jubilee special should delete him. Then its just clean up.

Most of us finished the event the first week, a lot the first day. It is a fantastic event with great rewards and I applaud you for giving new players a longer opportunity to get those rewards.

But remove the red dot if we completed the event.

The intention of the red dot has always been to draw attention to an event that has yet to be touched, rewards that need to be collected, or new information that needs to be read.

Once complete, this red dot falls into none of those categories.

Please remove it.

The whole idea behind reinforcements is great, an unknown threat lurking behind a seemingly straightforward defense team.

But when simple arithmetic says this Retcon team should be about 15k but the room power shows 35k.....hmmmmmmmm I think there might be reinforcements there.

Figured it out when I didn't points for using the Symbiote version but I did when I used the regular one.

The entire team is way too slow.

For his entire novel of a passive, only the first inconsequential line matters outside of crucible.

All of his kit is tied to having his team.

His team isn't that great so you can't even put him with Good characters to make him worth it.

He very well might be the worst legendary we have ever had.

The worst part is on Crucible offense his big Contagion move doesn't land because it is a negative effect. And you know what prevents negative effects? Immunity!

Do you know what *might* fix him, at least in crucible? "ENEMYS CAN'T GAIN IMMUNITY ON SPAWN"

Unlike most posts (which I agree with), this post isn't about how they are terrible outside of raids, its how they are terrible in the game mode they were designed for.

Spider-Man gives himself energy on dodge, great. Hope he dodges. He seems to enough.

Blade gives 1 ability energy on enemy death to whomever isn't full. Oh he isn't full? He gets it all. Selfish.

Meanwhile Rachel and Julia are sitting over here looking like bumps on a log with huge cooldowns on their ults just hoping that maybe, POSSIBLY, they can get their cooldowns back before the next node.

I understand they don't want the energy flowing as much as before to reduce us being able to sim with them but come on now, even in manual play they aren't ready for the next node even if I spend the last minute or so trying to build cooldowns.

Played the 2nd node of Scorpion Breaker and was fighting X-Factor.

Man that used to be a fun team, especially the Dadbros.

Same with Weaver and 2099 on the Blade Tower.

I get that they have to keep bringing in new characters to keep the game live but it would be nice if they just updated whole teams here and there as a "Bonus" team. Like Brotherhood. Just give us the OG or even the updated version with Toad and Blob.

Don't make em required for anything but maybe we cn use em as War reinforcements. You can even monetize it by selling upgrade packs.

Point is, sometimes we just miss using old teams how they were introduced.

With the removal of the Annilius and Spotlight raids next week, we will no longer earn Spotlight Orbs.

Scopely flat out said the Orbs will be gone in 30 days in the upcoming blog. Don't wait until the last minute and then complain you forgot or be mad at Scopely for doing what they said they were going to do.

They will update one last time to add Captain Britain (sometime next week). Once that happens, just open them all. You will not earn more, they will not change, there is no incentive to keep them.

There will inevitably be people on here going "they didn't warn us". Yes they did. And now this did too.

If you go to the Character screen on the website it will show updated toons like Hulk and Spider-Man.

But if you refresh it....

It shows Ikaris and Sersi (which we kinda knew)

But also Mr. Negative, Electro, Rhino, and Bullseye.

They are doing EVERYTHING but telling us. Accidentally web push, datamine, video teases.

I buy exactly two things in the regular shops every shop refresh - Purple Training Mats for 6k and Moongirl shards for 7k.

13k x 3 = 39k/day. That equals over 1.1M per Month.

The ONLY reliable method to get shop credits is the free claim they give us for 500k credits. We get a tiny amount from the blitz milestones and other even less obvious sources.

I cannot imagine if anyone actually needed more than those two things from the chapter stores, how are they able to get anything at all?

We need a reliable, consistent method to get them. The most obvious answer is shop credits for blitzing or RTA.

People with large stockpiles would never play those modes more than they absolutely have to, it would only benefit people who actually need the credits. And its not like there are things in the shop that would give anyone a crazy advantage like gold.

Maybe instead of wondering this event is broken or not, we can just acknowledge the reality that even if this is working absolutely flawlessly, hitting a brick wall for frankly way too long for teeny tiny bits of damage is just godawful gameplay.

"Oh look, I found a team that can survive, now instead of mercifully dying after 5 minutes I get to stretch this torturous existance into 20 plus minutes of chipping away teeny tiny bit by bit"

At least in this version once you kill the boss he is dead, unlike Battleworld where you have to (oh I'm sorry I mean have the privilege to) kill them over and over.

Edit: It is 100% doable but for goodness sake, it takes 45 minutes on difficulty 8. No mods.

You need Knull and old carnage and then just other symbiotes. You will have to G20 Carnage if you want to do D8 though.

I was 100% right, its doable but it takes so damn long. This sucks so bad.

He hits like a wet noodle even if both he and the other character have a bunch of buffs. It feels NOTHING like when Strange Heartless ults with a similar mechanic, though his is at 50% per positive vs Morph's 25%. Strange takes the whole team into the red, Morph can't take one toon below 90%.

Somewhat thematically accurately, Morph is a jack of all trades and master of none.

This Eclipse Convergence is just an utterly fantastic use of Iso energy which is pretty much only used when there is a level cap increase or a leaderboard.

It would be great if we could spend gold/silver promo credits or something like that on a similar type of event.

Its the closest thing to the trade in store that everyone wants.

Now only up to 20 kills needed. On D9, 12 orbs so 60 shards. Check your difficulty to see if it is worth moving up.

​

Also, ban all cheaters.

Now ban the cheaters.

​

Was fun trying to use teams in unrestricted while avoiding teams I'd need later in the cosmic and mutant sections.

​

Also, Ban the Cheaters.

This first week was incredibly disappointing for almost everyone when it comes to Maestro shard rewards.

​

Remember:

​

1. Not everyone knew about the shortcut team. As long as they don't nerf it, your alliance *should* be able to plan ahead to get more kills.

​

2. Daring Warriors and Retcon's buffs will be fixed.....someday. That *should* result in more kills.

​

3. We will get more Boss mods over time that *should* hopefully add more kills as well.

​

4. Battleworld Boss Fights suck and I wish they would delete them from the game and never bring them back.

​

(OK that last one might have just been an unrelated personal grievance but I die inside every time I have to do it, stupid character release alliance based milestone based on how efficiently you hit a brick wall over time while being careful not to use your team's best moves so you have to do everyones favorite thing - basic - over and over and over for 15 minutes even though the timer lies and says 5 minutes but you know its only active when you are making your move which technically is a good thing but it also prolongs your suffering of having to basic a brick wall 1000 times for teeny tiny amounts of damage...grrrr)
