Discussion: Valentines Day Event & Spring Fling!

Thanks for the replies. This will certainly change my strategy on running these missions. I had planned to run them with the Alts I felt had the best chance of success, but they aren't necessarily the ones for whom I want the costume pieces.

One follow-up question - can you still be invited to do the DJ Zero mission, and recieve the final reward, if you didn't complete the other two?

Yes, its like any normal badge mission. As long as your in the mission when Snappy is defeated you get the reward prompt. Many people just hop on others misions to get the rewards/farm redcaps. It can be hard sometimes (so I've heard) to get a cross-side team to do the earlier missions since you can't complete them without both a hero and villain while Snappy doesn' require both sides.

Sure can!

If you're just interested in the goodies, look for a team doing likewise. Set the lowest level's mission, then SK up or have one of the higher levels kill him 3x for the mission completion and the reward. Rinse, repeat.

I tried the first year doing those for xp, but that can be a real headache.

I'll tell you what I learned last night - the first heroside mission is much easier, and faster than the first villainside mission. I solo'd both and I completed the Council caves mission with three characters in just over the amount of time it took me to do the CoT cave once. That could be because my heroes are better suited to soloing (my fire/mind dominator died twice), but it definitely seemed like there were a lot more mobs on the villain mission.

I don't know if you noticed, but the Council missions are defeat all, while the CoT mission is not -- you just need to defeat the end boss.

And neither of the second missions are defeat all's either. You only need to defeat the spawn that gives out the key, and then obviously finish off the hero or villain-specific object at the end.

I did not notice that, thanks. Makes sense in retrospect, but given how long it took me to find him, I pretty much had to fight everyone else anyway. lol

I can confirm what you've heard. Guardian was very lacking in villains last night. I signed on with dominator and ran the Lockbox mission with about 5 different people, but when I switched to my scrapper, I couldn't find any villains who hadn't already run the Cauldron mission.

Still, I got all the Snaptooth rewards with my scrapper, and two of them with my dom. Need to go back and get the other three with her this weekend.
