    Are there any essential characters required to play some of the nodes?

    Yay! Another new character... after 2 back-to-back Ultron events, one concurrent with a 4 star release...

    Honestly, I was hoping it would be 2* Cyclops or an old character, so I could take a break...

    So tired... icon_redface.gif

    Buster for sure. I can't recall TaT having alt essentials, but I suppose they could just mix it up. At that point Steve and Morlock Storm become candidates.

    This one is going to be rough stuff.

    This one could be a "aim for one cover and be done" perhaps.

    Just noticed and (double checked in-game) that the Hero Points in progression have been halved, and also the HP for top 20 and higher. Don't want to panic right away, but is this a new trend or just a one-off, I wonder... Really hope the second. Introducing more and more new characters and meanwhile lowering the HP prizes is not going to work out well in the long run I think.

    They said they standardized events, I'd expect this to be the standard for the 4 day format from here out

    so confirm only top 20 get 2 covers

    Hard to confirm. There's an error in the previews.

    It says top 20 "Red and Yellow" and shows the yellow cover. For 21-50, it just says "Vision, Android Avenger," like there's only one cover, but it still shows the yellow cover. Only at 51-100 does it switch to just the red cover, so while it's possible that only top 20 has 2 covers, it's also possible that top 50 have 2 covers as well.

    I'm hoping it is an error, as giving away 2x 3* cover for only top 20 would be disappointing.

    A few interesting things of note:
    The "skrull" node has been changed, it now contains Iron Fist and Falcon skrulls - Falcon seems to be the priority kill there, I feel.
    The three essentials are three different characters. Ironman (Hulkbuster), Storm (Mohawk) and Captain America (Modern). This is interesting, as the essential is a two-star Cap America rather than three star. Cap America and Storm have nothing but goons, Ironman has goons and Bullseye.

    Great... Hulkbuster and two-star Cap as essentials? I can just dream about getting Vision...

    If the HP totals are going to be the norm from now i might have to take a break from playing for a while. I really enjoy the game but i'm currently playing loads as it is and have two iron fist covers along with two gs black widow covers about to expire because i can't get the HP to keep up with my rewards. Competing well and winning covers to then lose them due to lack of HP is incredibly demoralizing. 25 HP progression reward is absolutely rubbish.

    I wish they would put a little more thought into event planning and weekly boosted characters. Its pretty bad that the best character on the weekly boosted list, C Mag, is locked out of half the nodes.

    I used him for every node in sub 1. They changed the node contents. Hope they did so in other nodes later too.

    I'd just like to add the obligatory....my scaling for this event is ridiculous. I could barely make it through a single run at open. As the sub scales, it'll probably be impossible for me to win anything in this event.

    They've been making an effort to "standardize" the various events....why not standardize the scaling? Enemy of the State was very reasonable.

    ...you could say you had a vision about getting vision. icon_lol.gif





    Anyways, it's been a while since we've needed a 2* as an essential. Might as well buy another roster slot for America and then flip it for Vision.
