Mountains of Iso-8 = Impossible

Unknown

Wow so the hero event ended while I was sleeping, and I was doing my morning ritual of MPQ on the can and got to this node. I have 2 maxed 3* and a few 150+ but they are Spidy, Hulk, IM40, and Punisher. AKA not Patch, Sentry, LThor, or Ldaken... I've tried this 3 times now with max match boost, max ap boosts etc and get wrecked... Match green daken says Hi! Which further feeds WR from Sentry which oh did I mention the Rocket dude feeding them green as well?

/end rant

TLDR Yes, I have 166 toons, one of which is now garbage, yet my MMR/shard is insane... Why can't we fix this? Makes the game not even remotely fun on top of I set myself up to hit the 20000 pts for the yellow Collosus cover which is nigh impossible now!

Anyone else having fun with this absolutely TROLL node?

Edit: Grammar

Yeah, I have tried that Sentry node 3 times this morning. I only have 2* but I happen to have a good combo with storm, mnmags and colossus with the yellow included because I reached 20k in the morning. I got Sentry bombed 2 times in a row. There was nothing I could do. So my last run I through in thor instead of Colossus. Not that it made much difference, but I got lucky when CStorm charged her wind storm and then it was game over for them. Although still my characters where unusable after this fight because I burned all my Health Packs and they where very low on HP after the 2 Supernovas in my face. Well not planning on doing this or the last node again. I'll stick to the essentials since I got my 20k reward. It's just a matter of managing a good enough position for the finish to get me some PunPun.

Nonce Equitaur 2

I tried X-Force / Fury / Daken against that node and they were destroyed.

So I went to my old standby, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Hood. I kept Captain Marvel out front as a power battery. She went down pretty fast.

Cap and Hood got hurt bad, but they eventually won.

With 2 stars, I'd use MNMags, cStorm, Hawkeye, with good AP generating Team-Up boosts. If purple or blue wasn't available, I'd go for the TeamUp powers. Once Mags and cStorm rev up enough AP, they are generally unstoppable.

EDIT -- I also had a team wipe-out on the Doom node.

I think this one was pretty easy for me. Max Pun/Max C.Mags/ Max Hood. Focus on casting Polarizing Force first so Hood leeches better. (That sounds odd.) Hopefully, Sentry sets up WR when you have enough greens and reds so you can wipe it out with Judgement and Polarizing Force.

I also read that people we having issues with the Doom node, which I did wipe on my first attempt. I switched to Hulk/DA.Daken/Storm which worked smoothly. I let Doom place attack tiles, which triggered Anger and Raging Tempest. Those greens from Anger also create strike tiles from Pheromone Rage, so every turn Doom's tile hit, Storm's retal was getting stronger.

Mmm I think I used XForce, Magneto and Hood on this node and I won without problems. The AI got enough time to fire World Rupture, but I killed Sentry before it could trigger, so no harm done (but I suppose it could have ended way differently if I couldn't kill Sentry in time). Having a green generator in the same team as Sentry and Daken it is not a great idea...

I used Ares/Hood/oBW and had no problems.

I stole all his AP and killed him with it.

Now that Doom node almost got me. He pulled off two Summon Demons. Nasty stuff. Came down to the wire.

I used patch falcon and spidey and got through it with about half health..wr did more damage to them than to me with all the shields boosted by falcons yellow ..I def had more trouble with the doom node

My 3 stars are still lvl110, so Sentry/Daken are only scaled to 93 right now. I ran Torch/Hood/Storm, caught a Red/Green board and Fireball/Flame Jet them to dust. Killed Sentry the turn after he used green, so the goon had to wait 4 more turns to build back up. Didn't need a Wind Storm this time.

Cragger

I have been successful grinding it with lvl 166 5 Purple Spidey, lvl 45 5 purple OBW, and anyone who can do some damage. According to recent reports, Bagman plus a decent damage dealer can probably tackle that level easily.

You just have to block Green as much as possible to keep strike tiles down. Run a shield creator like Spidey and you can absorb all of the World Rupture damage. Punisher is nice because he take down after 60% health. You can always rush Deadpool and drop lots of whales. Captain America has pretty much become one of the new staples with C.Mags altered. I have been doing so well with Cap it's fun, his blue can really shutdown Sentry and unless they have scaled too high, Caps Shield will absorb almost all of the WR damage.

I'm scaled to 133... So 2* toons get wrecked fast... I eventually beat with max all AP and max blue with storm and some lucky cascades. Then I found that fun doom node! LOL!! The villains side is MUCH harder than the heroes! GL all!

Spidey got wrecked in 2s by green match + chem reaction... Plus my Spidy is still 5/5/3 since I had him maxed before the nerf... Don't have but 4 Cmags covers, 5 LCap, 0 Deadpool, and I have a 151 Pun Pun. Ran him max Hulk and CStorm for a win!

Xforce hood cap. Target DP DD then Hulk.

I got slaughtered on this the first time, and then moved to Colossus, Storm 2*, and Magneto 2*. I think I've been lucky, but going for all green, blue, and purple has given me the win twice now.

I've had more trouble with "Iso-8? What Iso-8?" I scraped by with about 100 life left on one character; a timely cascade saved my butt. Devil Dinosaur is brutal if there's a bunch of green on the board. I'd appreciate any strats for this one as I get trashed every event he's in.

Unknown

while I have no intention to compete in this event, facing sentry is like facing him boosted. Best way I find is to counter him. As long as he does not throw down WR, then you will be fine. but if it does, you need Falcon's purple, cMag's yellow etc or OBW's blue to extend or render it in-effective. It sad since its the one node I cannot use sentry/daken to over come like I did with the other nodes...

also reading alot of people running hood with high success, the only problem is not everyone has a max covered hood including myself *sigh

Same here - can't beat the Iso-8? What Iso-8? lvl at all. Luckily I am 200 points short from getting the colossus cover so I am happy. Not going to do well in the event itself (two days without featured hero = not chance of good reward)

Unknown

Didn't have problem with any of the nodes in the event though Dr. Doom, Sentry, and Deadpool nodes could've easily gone bad. I don't think Mountains of Iso 8 had any particular strategy except let them have blue if WR is imminent so they can get rid of their own strike tiles. For the Deadpool node it's worth sacrificing significant position to keep them off green since Devil Dino is on the other team. If you have AR on TU, make sure you use that since it's very hard to use OBW on that node due to the vast disparity in levels.

Unknown

Try picking up some trickery teamups. Use storm if you really need help collecting the AP to get it off quickly. Daken's strikes become shields and WR hurts the enemy team more than yours.

I ran into the Hulk/DD/DP node this morning and go spit out like it was a buzzsaw. I wiped with my first team, Patch/BP/Hood, incredibly fast as the board kept dropping green/red/purple after my turns so I was Off-the-topped into multi-dino-bited and finished with a Whale. Ouch. I figured Id give Laken/Sentry/Hood a try.....the board had decent yellow so I was pretty happy. Managed to get enough green for WR with the last yellow match I needed in a corner and just about no other yellow. Did WR, grabbed the yellow and next turn sacrificed to what I thought was a safe spot. AI had a cascade that included a pair of 4 matches, the second of which took out my so WR barely scratched them. ****. Time to regather green/yellow. Finally made it without them getting enough green for a dino-bite. Cast WR, to have the AI cascade a pair of green matches....and clap my out of existence. Tinykitty. I need a third WR? yeah....went for it and managed to get it. Hulk was down to about 5k health through out this so I was pretty sure a WR with Sacrifice would do him in if I could just make it happen. Got my WR set up, plus my . Thought I was golden. Unfortunately DD was out front and for some reason the WR didnt wipe Hulk (why would it do 8k damage to DD but only ~4k to Hulk?)....leaving him with about 7 anger tiles out....which then wiped me.

TLDR: not doing the Hulk/DD/DP node again either. It cheats.

CrookedKnight

Thank God for scaling that's still low enough for me to Wind Storm cheese that thing.

orionpeace

I'm running LCap, Hood, oBW on the DP/Dino/Hulk node.

It was slow but it worked and I came out at nearly full health. I kept the Dino stunned almost continually until I killed him.

By the end, I had two shields each working for both red and blue with Hood bringing them back to me early on occasion.

I had fun with it. No doubt next time, the board will work against me and that same team will wipe.
