PVE: Thick as Thieves (September 28 - October 2)

Not sure if 44K is even obtainable... I've done 3 clears of the first sub (not optimal ) and I'm at 9K

First clear of sub 2 gives you 3530, with one of the nodes being non-repeatable, so 3330 pr clear.

It always looks that way in the first sub. The points will rise...

Yeah, like in the last 50 PVEs, 25% increase from one sub to the next.
As soon as you've done your first clear in sub 1 you know exactly how many clears in every sub you need to do.

Best team ups for this event? I'm doing o.k. with 240 daredevil, 235 Cyclops, 234 she-hulk, but it seems like I could do better, needing just a little less healing to clear a set.

My ~strategy~ is to use cyclops yellow to get reds for DD, and occasionally she-hulk them with green, and a cyclops black if I get a good run. And sometimes I get to rarely stun with DD blue.

My "B" team is patch/loki with whoever, or patch/loki/falcon for the goons.

I was wondering the same. I had to start late and missed one clear, but the points are really, really low. Hopefully, as others have mentioned, we see some bigger boosts in the last sub.

Currently have 9125. I did a double clear of the first sub last night and some grinding close to the end, then a clear of the second sub. I don't have A-Wolvie anymore and my Elektra is sitting on the bench, waiting for HP, so that probably hurts as well.

I seem to be getting along faster using Cyclops yellow to repeatedly red-bash with she-hulk. I have electra in the mix as well, but maybe there's a better 3rd team member?

As far as teams for this event, I'm mainly sticking with my Cyclops (lv 89), Captain America (lv 142), and other character (ranges from 2* Human Torch (lv 150) to IM40 (lv 166) to tank red matches for Cap. or She-Hulk (lv 247) for her Green and Red abilities). It's been working pretty well for the stronger nodes.
On the lower level nodes, I stick with my 2* Daken (lv 94), 2* Wolvie (lv 150), and a misc. 2* in order to save on health packs and for the quick clears.
When my main team dies, I usually try to sub with GSBW (lv 166) and Scarlet Witch (lv 127) to farm Purple tiles. It has amazing synergy when you can finally get it going.
Other teams I've tried are Blade/Black Panther for their strike tiles and Doc. Ock. just because I leveled him up to 140 from the last event and I'm trying to justify it .

I've been using Cyc, Mystique, and Loki/Falcon.

Played around with Shulk on a few of the goon nodes, helpful in draining that goon AP so the tiles don't get spammed so much.

So far I've done really well in this PvE with She Hulk ~120, Cyclops 127, Surfer 270 (red). Cyclops pumps red to She Hulk, Surfer makes it so my regular matches do big damage, and She Hulk does basically all the work with damage, tile steal, AP drain. Works better because She Hulk only tanks green which I only match if there's nothing else.

For easier nodes I just play with lv91 IF and random other people.

Any advice on the Anderson Bio- Technic VII?
My strongest characters are Cyclops, KK, IF, GSBW (maxed) and DD/ She-Hulk (near max).
I keep getting wiped when threaten goes off (791/tile at 207). Maybe I just have lousy luck getting matches but I end up getting overwhelmed pretty quickly.

I've been running Cyke & Loki (maxed) with She-Hulk (cover-maxed) and have been having no issues. Between Loki and She Hulk converting tiles, I find myself letting the Threaten countdown tiles resolve just so I can steal them.
