Well, the enemies in the story events should be scaled to match your existing roster. Keeping your characters at fairly similar levels seems to be quite helpful in managing this scaling. If you've got a few you've levelled up much higher than the rest, the game will increase the enemy levels because it thinks things are too easy for you. This then results in your lower level characters having no chance of success, so you're stuck with that smaller set. And if you're locked out from those characters (e.g. during a heroic event), you're in trouble. Having your characters well covered is helpful too, since some get a lot more powerful with the 5th cover. For example, the current event boosts 3* Black Widow: her 5th green cover converts the attack from single target to all enemies. So you'll probably find this event easier if you've managed to collect 5 green covers. If you can beat all the nodes in the event, it's just a matter of repeating the nodes when the points recover after 8 hours. For the last 7 day event, I jumped in for the last 3 days. I did about 3 and a bit clears a day (once at the start of the sub-event, then once in the morning, then once after work), and managed to hit the final progression reward with room to spare. If the legendary token was ~ 50% higher, that would be quite easily doable. I probably wouldn't have been able to jump in so late though. |

Wow, doing the Hunt missions and just pulled a Mr. Fantastic (Yellow) from a token. And 2 days ago I got Kingpin (Purple) from the DPD token. Which means I won't get crap for the next month or so but right now I'm feeling pretty good. lol |

That was good luck. I was lucky enough to place #12 in the event to get two Mr Fantastic covers (yellow and black). I also managed to hit 4000 points in the season to earn the Heroic 10-pack. I opened it and ended up with nine 2* covers and a yellow 3* Beast cover. I think that's the worst result I've gotten from a 10-pack so far. The new Gauntlet has some interesting battles with the addition of Ultron sentries to some of the matches. I doubt I'll be able to finish it, but could do with some of the 3* covers unlocked along the way. The red Captain America cover is welcome, since it'll let me respec to 3/5/5, giving me a second power that can overwrite any tile. So far I'm about half way through the second round. |

I've completed matches up to simulation 34 in The Guantlet, which is close to half way through the final section. The enemies are getting up to around level 200 now, while I've been playing with characters at 150 or 144 (Quicksilver and Mr Fantastic are boosted higher, but one is a bit of a dud and the other only has two covers). They've started slotting in 4* characters into the matches leading to a few interesting combos: Sim 31: Spiderman, 3* Deadpool, and 4* Deadpool. It's a bit unfair fielding two of the same character. The black power on the two deadpools means you need to be careful about who you attack. The worst case would be to perform a heavy attack on 4* DP, have 3* DP jump in front to take the damage and generate a healing countdown, and then have 4* DP create his attack countdown because you damaged his team mate. Sim 32: Jean Grey, Professor X, and an Ultron Sentry. With that combo, match-5s by either team are going to hurt. Sim 34: Kamala Kahn, Carnage, and Ant-Man. You need to take out Kamala quickly because she heals the team, and then hope you can hold out against the attack tiles long enough to beat the other two. I've also got a deeper appreciation of Scarlet Witch: some of the nodes with her as an enemy are brutal. Hopefully I'll be able to make it far enough to get her progression cover, since she is one of my least covered 3* characters. |

I got the 10 pack last night (only the second time I've ever gotten it). Got 7 2*, 2 covers for the 3* Dakken, and a Blue cover for the 3* Captain America. The PvP match with Quicksilver I was using Wolverine 2* and Cyclops to generate Wolverine's red power. That was a fun combo. I'm struggling with the Ultron stuff. I think that boils down to me not having a lot of 3 star covers, and not really understanding what are the best combos to use to make a team though. |

Having a broad roster certainly helps for this event, but I've powered through most of the battles using the combo of 2* Daken and Wolverine (both boosted to level 150) plus Thor, Captain America or someone else. For some matches, having the correct counter can make all the difference. Take the last match of the second section: you have Ultron Prime plus the both Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson versions of Captain America. The enemy team will throw out a lot of protect tiles, and Sam Wilson's red will increase in damage for each protect tile. To combat this, Captain Marvel's red destroys every enemy protect tile if you have 5 covers. So with her, the match isn't drawn out by the protect tiles, and it significantly decreases the threat from Sam Wilson. For other matches, I just repeated them multiple times hoping for a decent board and some luck. That got me through Sim 36 against 4* Invisible Woman, Iron Man, and 3* Captain Marvel -- in this case I couldn't use Marvel to remove the protect tiles

So... evidently I play MPQ in my sleep last night and asked for Team up stuff. Hence my terrible spelling and confusion in the chat. Positive note - I did some of the second Ultron mission quests. lol |

One other tip for the Gauntlet is Deadpool's super-whales. If you've gotten as far as you can but the reward you're after is just one or two matches away, then this is a viable strategy. I used it in one match to secure the Scarlet Witch cover: Invisible Woman + Professor X. Pretty quickly everyone was invisible and the board was filled with rapidly strengthening protect tiles. Spending some Deadpool Points seemed like a better option. I noticed that they added the legendary token progression reward to the latest story event. It looks to be a little less than twice what the old maximum progression reward was. It is high, but not too difficult to achieve: maybe 3 clears a day would do it. Hopefully they don't make it stupidly difficult to get the same prize on the shorter 3 and 4 day events. |

I don't understand how they decide how much each individual battle is worth in the PvP stuff. I can see the same character matchups and the values differ quite a bit. Is there any reason for it or is it just random? |

The points are proportional to the difference in scores between you and the other player. If you both have the same score, the battle will be worth 37 (which is what you get for the first team you beat in the tournament, when it is 0-0). If you battle someone with a higher score than you, then you'll get more than 37. If you battle someone with a lower score, you'll get less. To make matters more confusing, the points shown prior to starting a match are based on the other player's score at the time the match was offered to you. So if you come back after a day, the points for the three matches shown to you may have no bearing on reality. You can get around this by skipping a number of times (I don't know how many) so you are shown some fresh matches. One thing to note is that if you do a battle against someone for a very small number of points, then you are going to be worth a lot of points to that other player since you've got a high score. If they win the retaliation match, you'll have a net loss. |

I had a go at the new 4* node on Deadpool's Daily Quest. My level 94 X-Force Wolverine did not last very long against a level 270 Cyclops. If all the battles are like this then It's going to take a long time before I stand a chance. Perhaps my low level Professor X will might stand a chance when his battle comes around if I manage to stay invisible, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have him facing off against someone with a team damage ability. |

My Level 168 Nick Fury might be the only character I have a chance with these match-ups. He is 2/4/2 so would need plenty of luck with Demolition. It is also a way to encourage people to spend their hero points so I might save up and get some covers (I still got 6 roster slots free). I would rather them give us hero points each day rather than Iso for Deadpool daily. 50 Hero points a day would mean you can buy a new cover every 50 days. |

Hmm. Despite them only doing one of these 4* matches every 5 days, it only shows up for a single day. I managed to snag a legendary token from progression on the Hulk, and ... got a Star Lord cover. That makes him my highest covered 4* character at 1/3/2, but it'd be nice to get more covers for the newer 4* characters that seem to have more interesting powers. It was a lot of effort for one token, and it seemed like everyone in the bracket was posting higher scores trying to hit the progression too. Speaking of newer 4* characters, the latest is Ice-Man: http://marvel.com/news/comics/25104/piecing_together_marvel_puzzle_quest_iceman Not sure I like the artwork. |

I decided to start using my Taco Tokens, with my 4th token I got Purple cover for Nick Fury which was ironic. It allowed me to push him up to Level 188. |

Cool. Was that enough to beat level 270 Magneto in today's Deadpool match? I got a second legendary token playing the current story event and pulled a purple Elektra. That brings her to 3/1/1, which is almost certainly not enough for the match when she comes around in the cycle. The test node for the new versus season is worth checking out. It has you play solo as a level 449 Silver Surfer vs. Hulk-buster, Jean Grey, and Carnage all at level 270. Even without any experience with his powers, the match is a push over. This is a pretty huge power jump over previous star levels. I wouldn't expect a single max level 4* character to so easily beat a team of three max level 3* characters, for instance. |
