Bi-Han now we've got Bad Blood
Also if you've figured out the teams that the people who are clearing this super easy are using LMK. because people are afraid to put it on anything besides line. Issue being no one ever says which line chatroom it is.

My strategies are

OBW, Loki, Cyc- force cascades. You've got one blue one purple match, if the spin doesn't make magic happen fore quit

round 5 and below

Under covered Hulk, Undercovered S. Witch, undercovered 3* deadpool- match a purple, then make sure hulk gets hit when the countdowns go off.
Ideally by the 4th turn (yes galactus will have like 20-something black ap) you get enough pruple for whales.
Seems lovely but worked for me 3 times consecutively.

Someone on the forums said they have a team that can clear it 50% success rate round 7. but won't post 'because of fear all 3 will be nerfed' :confuoot:

I had about a 50% rate in round 7 with maxed XF Wolv, Iron Fist, and She-Hulk if I went in with boosts for each colors. 3 fairly cheap good board shakeups and IF feeding black and contributing slight damage with his attack tile was alright. She-Hulk's green literally never targeted black so I gave up and used Wolv's green to a much better effect.
Round 8, forget it.

The clear team is 3* Black Widow 5/3/5, 3* Hulk 5/3/5, Professor X with at least 3 blue covers. Depending on what boosts you have/are willing to buy, boost as much purple AP as you can (at least +2 blue/purple is mandatory), then all damage, green damage, and/or crit damage. Match purples until the first set of Galactus CDs are at 1. Avoid matching the CD tiles. Then, make a match with a Hulk color so that he's out front and tanks the CD expiration. Each CD will trigger Hulk's anger and fill the board with green. If you managed to get enough purple between matches and Professor X match-5 passive triggers (either from you getting a good board or anger cascades) use Black Widow purple to make green match-5s. Use the green for Black Widow sniper rifle. Cascades hopefully make more match-5s. Repeat the purple>green loop until Galactus dies.

If you get a bad board and can't match enough purple then disconnect from the Internet (turn on airplane mode if on a phone, turn off router if on PC or console) and force quit the game. Reconnect to the Internet and restart the game. This is basically a ghetto retreat where your characters will take retreat damage, but the Galactus node doesn't get locked so you can try again. Since Galactus doesn't do much damage before the 1-shot, the retreat damage doesn't matter (other than Hulk needing enough to stay alive for Anger), so you can save health packs until a team member is actually dead.

My prediction for round two:

Galactus's CD tiles will be changed to heal Galactus instead of doing damage. They could just lower or remove the damage, but that doesn't seem like a big enough gently caress-you from the devs.


I'm having about a 66% win-rate against round-6 Galactus with 2*Black Widow, Hulk and Juggernaut. I am ready for a lazy 3* Juggs.

I reckon it's like gambling addiction. You always think you can do one more, you have a "system" that totally can win, and the anticipation of a chance to get something awesome is always lingering. Like, I beat Galactus once and I literally jumped off my sofa and put my arms in the air. Praise be to those who can quit cold turkey because I have too much time on my hands and enough care to keep going.

God, I loving love PvP events that don't shoehorn you into a single character.

Managed to get 841 points with around 1 hour to go with a team of R&G / Loki / Cyclops. Really wish I'd kept R&G at 3/5/5 though. I initially wanted to go from 25% to 100% at once but now the increased instances of healing for increased cascades and stronger and faster Strike Tiles from their Blue seems a lot more appealing, since I barely got any Blues off.

The next PvP event is gonna be a totally rockfest though. I don't care about ranks, I just want to fool around with a team of Boosted SW / Boosted Prof X / Grey Widow.

Someone posted this on reddit:

Stats for round 8

• 4x 1 turn CD tiles
• Each CD tile generates 5 cosmic tiles (and does 1,010 damage)
• Galactus generates 5AP for each cosmic tile he eats
• Health 32,320

So Galactus first batch of CD tiles has the potential to generate 100AP.

:siren: You can force close the phone app to get another shot at the big node and also log your damage against Galactus :siren:

Be sure to force close on your turn. If it comes to Galactus's turn where hes gonna eat the stuff and then kill you its already too late.

It wont update your personal score but it will add to the alliance damage.

I can't get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

I wrote down how much life galactus had and how much damage i'd logged before the fight

I fought a few rounds, doing as much damage as possible.

When galactus was going to win next turn, I tabbed out, put my phone into airplane mode, force closed the app, turned airplane mode off again, and opened the app

Both numbers displayed were the same as the ones I had written down.



Now don't get me wrong, this DID let me retry boards a few times until I got a win (with OBW / CStorm / MMag, no less!), but it's not keeping the damage I was doing on my failed runs. So in a way I'm actually going through health packs faster this way.

You are doing it right. You don't get to keep damage done to Galactus if you reset; it only registers when the fight is over and you see the result screen. The reset abuse is for if you got a bad score/didn't win and want to try again; it prevents the Galactus node from being locked, like would normally happen at fight end.

Did they hotfix that? People kept saying it would keep the damage you dealt for your alliance.

For Round 8: Max cap marvel + Max human torch + Xforce wolverine/hulkbuster/big black ability user

Cap marvel needs 5 in yellow, torch needs 5 red (which you should be aiming for anyways)

Cap marvel tanks 4 countdown damage hits and generates 20 red, 12 black

Torch fires off at least 3 fireballs for 16k damage (4 or 5 fireballs if you boost and collect red in the 2 turns you can)

Wolverine/hulkbuster uses their big black ability and do more damage. You win or you deal a significant amount of damage to him.

Seconding this.

Easy 3* bullseye milestone cover at 850, and shot up to the top ten in the overall anniversary event which, correct me if I'm wrong, the point tally for that won't go down when I eventually get my rear end beat for being worth so many points in the class of 2015 event.

I may actually try hard to stay in the top ten all next week!

The season score goes down as long as the event is still open.

So if you're beat to 200 when the event is over, your placement falls and so will progress.

Yeah, I really wish milestones were cumulative, but then again, that would just result in D3 raising the milestones way higher.

I will probably make it to the 10-cover pack though, given that I'm already nearly halfway there from the first PvP.

just make sure you aren't throwing out your 2* covers until you get at least three or four 3* heros with max covers (if not max level) because 3* mismatched heroes are definitely weaker than 2* max heroes. IIRC a 3* just breaks even on matching damage at level 104, but even their powers at that level are weaker or barely on par with a max cover 2* level 94 hero power.

yeah, my leveled 3/3/3 1 star iron man does more red and blue skill damage than any of my new guys, especially since they have one or two level one skills. But the extra tankiness goes a long way, and my third anniversary pull was Devil Dinosaur. It's the awful purple skill but his match damage is higher than anyone else I have on most colors so he sits out front and puts his 4k HP to use. I got a black skill Blade on my first draw and that tipped the balance from beating up on one or tow people and then resting to tanking through several matches. Mostly though all the Iso i'm rolling in has let me level my core guys so that they can get work done while i pray for new good covers.

My alliance managed to completely beat Galactus. The last Cyclops token still hasn't been given out. "Don't attribute malice that which can be explained by stupidity" and all that, but half-seriously wondering if they didn't expect anyone to finish. I know the last round award timing was changed in response to Ultron; this time it stayed open after alliance completion so people weren't locked out of the personal progression rewards and thus the cover wouldn't be awarded right away, but it's been over half a day since the event fully ended.
