nope. the only time tanking strategy can be used is lightning tournaments. you can tank the last couple lightning tournaments, but as soon as you compete in the week/weekend tournament, your mmr will go up with no reliable way of getting it back down.

Don't feel too bad, my list is full of c.storms I have no idea how to deal with now.

So yielding in SHIELD Training doesn't do it?

C Storm is still pretty easy. Same strategy as before except you have to save your big hits on her for the end. Match 3 tiles damage until she is under the health of one of your big hits - I tend to go for under 1k and use Thor's 6red skill. Takes a bit longer so the opponent may get some attacks ready but when they do I use Spidey stuns until I can get Storm out of the way.

I wonder what it's like to have Spidey's blue power unlocked. I bet it's nice. Between that and no Ragnarok, I'm pretty sure the RNG hates me.

Ha ha, I did notice you yielded to me in SHIELD.

you'd have to yield a ton (i assume) to tank ur rating, compared to lightning round and having 100s of team beting on u. is it worth it, i do not know.

The problem is my main team is the "nibbled by ducks" approach. I don't use mega strikes like that typically. I can still take her out with Ragnarok, if I get a board loaded up with green and make a bet on getting a cascade, but that's situational and unreliable. I don't particularly want to have to change my team composition to fight such a common character. Fortunately, many high-level teams don't use her these days, but it will make me rethink tanking my matchmaking rating routinely (because then nearly every team will have her).
