Every 8 hours from the time the event launched. I think the schedule was 12 PM/ 8 PM/ 4 AM EST for the last round. They also reset every time Ultron is defeated, but then they switch on the same schedule. For example, if one stage is defeated at 6 PM, you'd get new nodes for 2 hours, then they would switch again for the 8 PM rotation.
Since some of you are somewhat limited with that, try and beat ultron, clear the survs and ultron battles you can. Wait the full 8 hours for ultron to reset, then do the survs again. That should give you one more clear per 8h.

You give up on this one then completely ltrain?!
We got a few randoms who are pushing decently.
Also, is DS still active in the competitive alliance? I have messaged him just to see what is up and if he is okay. I haven't seen him here in months and his alternate account hasn't logged in to MPQ for a few months either.

After not being able to log in and play the first 3 times I tried the other day, I kind of just forgot about it. Plus, I still love Hearthstone infinity times more than end-game MPQ, so that's my A1 steak sauce on the mobile tenderloin of life. After a bad top-deck loss, I'll fire up MPQ to do the daily and look at the other events, only to be reminded that MPQ only wants the best to get better. This could be said about most competitive multiplayer games' reward systems, but in HS, every game is different and requires a different strategy, which keeps it fresh. Plus building decks is hella fun. Grinding for hours and hours only to miss the end time and drop into 2* reward territory? Not hella fun.
On top of that, KOTOR is $2.99 with Amazon coins right now. I've owned this damn game on 4 different platforms now. I'm going to actually finish it this time.

Hahah yeah I have like 220k damage total and I don't think anyone else in the Alliance has even broken 100k : P
I was really annoyed I missed out and screwed up that last event of this and so now I am trying extra hard. We are already on the 4th round Ltrain and that is without your help... imagine if you were kicking some butt too! eh? eh? nudge* nudge*
Lol. not all of us have overpowered teams. need to lick our wounds in between matches. broke 100k

Nice!
Yeah having a large pool of max level characters makes this event much easier. I still prefer Thor since he is boosted to like 196 and Deadpool because in the Ultron fight his Red is amazing as always and in the surrounding nodes his Purple takes out basically a whole team. So while I have a big pool to pick from I do find myself using healthpacks on Thor and Deadpool more than anything else.
My go to team right now is Hulk, Daken, and Rogers. need that green Hulk to clear the board when stuff accumulates. Rogers' red will 1shot anyone robot. and Daken fills the board with his strikes - and once in awhile the blue clears out weak robots.

There. That's all I can do until the Ultron refresh. 56k without using a health pack.

Just curious Hubu, but what's your MPQ name? I occasionally look through the CAGvengers to look at your rosters. The others have the same names

Yes sorry. I had so many MPQ account learning that I end up using 0verkill.
Can we put together an order of which Sentries to kill first.
Fighter [Green] - annoying Swarm move
Flyer [Yellow] - healer

I usually use AoE moves or stun. But I usually go yellow, blue, then green. Blue is probably the most dangerous though. Yeah the swarm move is hella annoying but it doesn't do near as much damage as the crit tiles. But what do I know? I'm struggling a lot more this time around; I think I need to tweak my team
EDIT:
Just had a discussion with Sidlon and Kojubat. Their strategies vary slightly, but the save yellow for last. Go blue or green first. Koju goes green first and uses cage and darken. Sidlon goes with DD to keep the board from getting out of hand. I just went cage and DD and that went well

I go Blue, Green, Yellow. Those strike tiles need to go away first. And since yellow only heals when he himself is below 50% life, if he's the only one left, or there are just yellows left, it's a lot easier to deal with.

Frankly every single one of them sucks in their own right haha I really hate these effer. Makes doing the DPD nodes seem EVEN easier by comparison haha.
But yeah definitely save the healers for last, you screw yourself over I feel like if you target them first unless you have a way to knock them out right away but in that case you should probably knock out Blue or Green first. I prefer going for Green first because I have had the worst luck with them getting a 5-match cascade at least once per freaking match with that Swarm.
I am just about to break 400k, hopefully I can at least nab two of the SW covers, better than none. At our rate I do not see our alliance getting to any of the Hulkbusters unfortunately : / We will be close and get more tokens but getting to that round of Ultron will be a far push at this rate.
I luckily scored a Hulkbuster from a pull, and oddly enough 2 different Elektras. Of all the 4-Star covers to get... its like the game mocks me with that. I always would get IW if I was lucky enough to score a 4* and then now I guess Elektra is my new IW. I know I am a broken record but not having any 4* characters usable really sucks.: /

Yeah, I go blue-green-yellow. When blue and green are together it really sucks, since if there are too few tiles, green activates swarm, shakes the board and does damage, and if there are too many, blue creates two critical tiles. Most of the damage I take (since I use Cage) comes from the critical tiles, so I want the blue sentries gone as soon as possible.
I have never been one to get good covers from pulls, and that trend has continued since my return. The only 3* pull I've had from any of the Ultron tokens was a Red She-Hulk. I actually opened 37 standards before the last event, and out of those I pulled 2 2*.
Oh, you were waiting for the rest of my results. 35 1*. Yep. 37 useless taps on that stupid button. Subtle reminders of why I quit playing in the first place.

Broke 750k today in the Ultron event. Doesn't look like I will be making it to 1 Million though : / Oh well, I think I may just stop pushing seeing as there is little more for me to get then. Don't see me being able to get 250k in 12 hours and the Alliance isn't even close to getting to the next round. Womp womp womp
I hope the powerhouse CAG clan has gotten everything at least!

We're going to be lucky to finish round 7. He's got a ton of health this time, and he's down to just over 1 million health now with one node refresh left. I'm at about 1.5 million points, and I'm only 4th. Our top 10 all are over 1.18 million, and we're only on 7. It's crazy, last round we have to slow down with two days left since people hit a million and we were almost finished.

No kidding, we finished round 7 with about 2.5 hours left. Round 8 has 15 million hit points, so it would take over 500 victories to beat him. Even with a full squad, I don't think we would have made it. Now to get more covers from Enemy of State!

Hah I think I am going to take a mini MPQ break. Not stopping playing of course but this last event I have been playing it too much haha
Despite our Alliance not getting any from the first wave, my Scarlet Witch is still I believe 1/2/3 and I ended with a Hulkbuster as well as some other random 3 and 4*s from the tokens. How did everyone else do?

My tokens from the second Ultron run were horrible. I got exactly one gold cover, and not one I could use.
Still, made the top individual progression and the competitive alliance got the second Hulkbuster in the last few hours. So, overall, three covers for a new 3* and 2 4* covers is a pretty decent outcome.

Yeah, my tokens for the second round were pretty bad too, but I did get 600 HP from one. I did get a few SWs from the first round of tokens, and with all the progression rewards Scarlet Witch is 4/3/2, Quicksilver is 1/4/3, and Hulkbuster is 1/0/1. Can't really complain, the new event was a nice change of pace too.

Me too. Makes jumping in last minute more difficult because it is no longer a bunch of level 1-30s but rather all 100s pretty much. Granted I was still able to score two SW covers from the BP PvP jumping in with 14 minutes left, but overall the boosted characters all over the place make it more difficult and annoying. I am fine if they want them boosted, but in PvP make it only like 10 levels or something.
There's a guy in our alliance (u167169) that pulled 4 HBs from tokens and got the two from rounds 6 and 7. Based on his pve score, I'd say he's at least top 10, and possibly even challenging for the top spot. There's a chance he could have a 4/5/3 HB when this is all over. Ridiculous
Update:
I just checked with him and he currently has 2800 on second. Says top 5 is very close. We've got a few others in first and top five in their respective brackets too.

Patch R75 came out with decreased Iso costs:
I haven't checked the new forums to see who the new character is hinting at. I know a 2* Cyclops is supposedly coming, but aim to please makes me think 3* Hawkeye or Bullseye.
The decreased leveling cost is good, and many characters were bumped to within a point of the next level. Time to figure out who to level!
It's time for the R75 update!
R75 Patch Notes:
We're aiming to please with our next character...
UI, Tweaks & Bug Fixes
- It now takes 30% less Iso-8 to level a 3-star character and 15% less Iso-8 to level up a 4-star character.
- A game board slider showing enemy AP values is now displayed when enemies gain or lose AP.
- Abilities that check for the opposing team’s strongest AP will no longer choose an empty pool in the case of a tie.
- Faster initial load times implemented when the game is played for the first time.
- Fixed a bug where the progression bar would sometimes not appear in the Post-Battle Screen.

DOH!
I totally forgot about that update and I just raised Spiderman 40 levels because I was sitting on a massive chunk of ISO and was just getting antsy to spend it.
I went ahead and leveled every three or four star that could go to level 100. I also threw some levels on Invisible Woman and held on to some iso to use for future buffed characters. I had to resist the urge not to max Spidey or Daredevil instead of spreading it out. Now the only characters I have below my maxed 2 stars are Iron Fist, a bunch of 4 stars, Ms. Marvel (it would be 60k iso to level her, and I probably should just sell her, but she seems to be boosted quite a bit), and maxed Juggs.
Since I have a good team of maxed characters, I plan on sitting on my ISO. Then as each character I didn't develop becomes the required, I can boost them up to a useful level.
Although, I may go through and give everyone that 1 ISO extra level in case that's a bug they decide to fix.

Haha yeah I went through right away and gave that single ISO in case it was a bug too!
I assumed that was a consolation for having leveled your characters. I guess I should say compensation; the more you leveled, the greater compensation you got in return. But who knows with D3P/Demiurge. I'll take the free 30 levels and probably about 10-15k iso.
