72 Days that’s a long time

It is, almost as though it’s meant to give enough time for all the bosses to come out before rewards come out...

And also like it's meant to last throughout the Summer too. Weird coincidence I guess.

I think one of the main things people need to keep in mind here is that each week is going to feel like a different difficulty for different people. I personally didn’t find this week too bad with She Hulk, but there may have been players who didn’t have her or any of the other top options and found it much harder.

The fights themselves will be primarily skill based but there will also be some counters for each boss. Therefore the variety in players’ rosters is also going to contribute to the apparent difficulties of these fights. That also means that even though someone doesn’t have a good counter for Rogue, it doesn’t mean they won’t have a good counter for any of the other fights. When week 2 comes out, I may not have a proper counter for it, so it may seem more difficult for me than those who have a viable counter.

There are some great rewards available, so even if you can’t get Rogue down, you can always try the following weeks to see if you can do each fight since you don’t necessarily need to do them all to get rewards. It just means you won’t hit as high a milestone overall, but you’ll still get some nice rewards.

Didn't think I was going to be able to do this Rogue fight (week 1), but I completed it, using Namor. Revived a few times, but at my skill level, that was acceptable.

Are there any rewards in solo objectives? Or only points I will get!

Does anybody know when you get the rewards for Pain event eg milestones

After the timer runs out in early September.

Intriguing counter - Sunspot. Guaranteed perfect block with an incinerate active. It makes him a unique counter to Invade.

His incinerates don't last long, especially against Rogue

They don’t, but before I just cheesed the whole thing with Dragon Man, I actually had more success using sunspot than others. Intercept-parry-combo or bait-punish-parry-combo.

Why even Parry if you can intercept?

It is a peak milestone system, you can’t get all the reward in that milestone table and you only get the top one based on how many points you earned. Each clearance gives you 1 point. Cav players can play up to #6 and remaining are available to TB players only.

To be honest, I’m extremely disappointed by the update to the summer of pain. I was looking forward to finally getting a t5cc by completing all of the quests. Guess I’ll have to wait even longer to become thronebreaker…

You'll still get 75% om whatever T5CC you want from milestone 6. There's 3 25% selectors.

It not really a change since kabam miike said it early just the msg was a bit misleading a informed when there said update

So for Cavalier Players as per today’s Update max we can get is Milestone #6? I’m sorry but the wording is horrible in today’s In game mail. If after doing all the Fights Cavalier players can only get Milestone #6, I am not going to waste my time doing it. Rather finish Act 7 and get my t5cc even if it takes me a while.

Dollas78

Can someone tell me what this means cause someone else in my alliance doesn’t have this comment

Lordvanalukar

Who knows the next opponent?

xNig

I do. Will let you know in roughly 2 hours and 10 mins.

“I’d rather do 210 fights in 7.2 and use about 30 refills for a 25% selector and two random 25%s than do 9 fights for 3 25% selectors.”

Okay.

Why even Parry if you can intercept?

Because it’s easy to get cornered with her unstoppable and that’s a nice way to burn the timer or regain ground if it costs you zero hp.

I feel like this needs the why not both picture.

EMP Sinister. No Quakes.

Guardian can do it with esay in things guiltily 2099 can do it with esay to

Madman_marvin

I used Sunspot on Sinister and got the one shot after one failed try. Just make sure not to dex (why I failed first time). His L1 will give you charges and you and build up a big L2.

I used g99, no pre fights. Wasn’t bad at all, no dex.

Archangel all day with revives 😂

Typhoon

Solo'd with Archangel, no revives. 121 hits. Parry + Heavy, then create distance on the left side of screen so you never dex unless he has neuros up. Then he never procs the shock.

way easier than rogue.
