This is the perfect time to grind out progression rewards for No Holds Barred, btw. Everybody's too busy with the Hulk event.

So the top 300 in the main event unlock X-Force Wolverine... and everything from the reward below it. I hope this is a sign of things to come because god drat do I hate doing the second place dance.

I'm at 500 now with a team of level 40s max. The hard part is actually finding people worth points, but I haven't been counterattacked a single time since this Hulk event started. I'm just going to shoot for 800 and call it a day. That Spidey cover at 1100 is tempting, but I don't think I have the patience to grind out 600 points right now.

I'm getting single digit points on my first attempt at Nevada nodes, so I'd wait a bit.

I'm at 800 now. Only one counterattack the entire time. At this point I'd actually consider going for the Spidey cover, but there are so few people up here that it's just not worth grinding out 10 point missions to get.

Wolverine is a horrible terrible monster with this buff. I hope he gets one in a proper PvP event at some point. :unsmigghh:

Yeah unlike the last time he got a buff, this time it affects his healing and strike tile value too. This is awesome.

Is Hulk Sighting: Nevada supposed to give a lot fewer points than the first Hulk map or will those increase over time?

Oh my god....I just realised how much of a boost Spidey's pink gets when there's webs in play. Having three protect tiles at 129 apiece makes battles kind of hilarious (and that's just at level 3!)

Not sure how strike tiles work exactly, but Storm's hailstorm does 500 damage a turn, which is hilarious.

For what it's worth, Hulk Nevada seems to cap out at precisely 116 points. I have 116, and so do everyone else.

They deal extra damage each time you do damage. So each match does extra damage and so do your skills.

So the gimmick this event is that the missions rapidly stop giving points, capping at 116 and 230 respectively enough times they no longer give points. This means everyone who can complete the mission can get into the first place tie bracket.

max is 66 if you don't have Punisher. Puts me in 136th but there's at least 6 guys above me.

The new daily deal is so enticing. Yeah there's a chance I could get a useless Wolverine/Captain America, but there's a decent chance I get Punisher/Hulk/Spiderman! Got a blue Spidey from it today.

Managed to reach 600 on NHB which means I got yet another Moonstone cover. What's the go-to build for her? Mines up to 2/3/3 and the cover is for black.

I mat dick around in Nevada some more for ISO but I want more Grey Widow covers.

Thor level 40 (5/5/3), Wolverine level 45 (5/3/3), Moonstone level 35 (5/5/3)

Just use all +3, red/yellow +3 and green/black +3. Taking out teams of level 100+ dudes has never been easier with Wolverine on board. You can use Moonstone's purple as extra damage and to set up easy matches or chains.

Yeah the most recent person to make the tie score will be first, that's how it's been in the past. If these missions don't reset/rubberband points now, then I'm totally going to sit at 227 until the mission is about to end in 18 hours and finish out my 230 points for the 1 - 4 place Powered Up tokens x2 prize, y'all.

Anyone know what the max Punisher-less score is in Alaska? I'm at 130 and unsure if I have one or two more goes at the sniper trio.

EDIT: nevermind, 130 is the punisher-less max. It didn't update for me.

EDIT: How are people building Hawkeye Modern? I just got a cover that is going to force a choice. I was thinking 5/5/3, but I could be underestimating how low I need the purple count to be for Avoid.

I went with 4/5/4 for Hawkeye Modern. Even if I did reduce the countdown on the red to 2, its still a huge chance of getting matched. The damage output is too random. I'm pretty happy to have the utility of 5 blue though. Someone else can make better use of the red.

Is this Hulk event only for veterans, really?

I've been playing 3-4 days, really like the game. But my characters are all fairly low level with only 1 or 2 with several skills. I am finding it hard to get new stuff. Spending money on the game seems tempting, but I always try to play these games for free.


Also, So far there is prologue and events tabs. Am I right in thinking after I have completed all the prologue missions, then more tabs will pop up with story missions?

Get yourself through the prologue. You do HAMMER then Juggs/Venom side by side, and finish with Oscorp and Dark Avengers.
Once you've done all that, you won't just have lowbies around, and will have a nice selection of mid-level heroes.
