May I ask, what is the last node price? Something good or just iso? I am stuck at node 39, and I think I won't be able to beat it

It's just ISO.

Stuck at sim 34, with lvl 314 Pun/Sentry/Storm

Think I will have to use all my daily medpacks to go further, if that is ever possible...

2000 iso to be more specific.

Almost done everything, I'm just missing Essential 18... Victory will be mine!

This event showed me how much I underestimated CStorm + MNM, been so much relying on OBW-Ares made me nearly quit when I found 185 Ares/OBW/Deadpool node. Took my lvl50 Stormneto (boosted to 90 by event), might as well try... wow is all I can say. Even underleveled they carried me through the finals. No boosts ever either.

Also made it and i want to thank Team-ups.
You're da real MVP.

Question for those who finished then Are there BP Essential nodes in the Finale? Don't wanna burn my stockpiles for no reason.

Got all rewards thanks to my unbuffed lvl 140 pun and spidey

There is one bp essential, but it doesn't cut off your access to any other node so you could get all but the last progression reward.

Grr. My 1/1/0 Psylocke will be sad. Thanks .

Done! Stormneto cheese carried me through most of the high-level nodes, including the big Sentry/Widow/X-Force finale (though that had a healthy dose of Retribution finishers too), but my favorite win, precisely because that wasn't an option, was probably the IW/Belova/Storm essential node, where I ended up using Magneto to shake up the board constantly, fueling Thor with cascades until he could Call The Storm everybody into dust.

For scaling comparisons, my highest level character is Modern Thor at 114. Punisher is level 55 (145 after boosts). Simulation 42 had a level 253 Sentry.

Done! Stormneto for me too. Used DP Whales 2 times.
highest level character is Patch at 130. Punisher is level 94 (184 after boosts). Simulation 42 had a level 286 Sentry.

Stormneteo, +3 to all boost, +3 purple/blue boost, Crit boost 125% (For Mags purple power)

Combined all these and blew away w/e came towards me ^^

I finished early morning yesterday, which was a nice feeling compared to typical PvE. My Sim 42 was lv 269-270, but Mags(134)/Storm(134)/Punisher(184,4red) still murdered it. The lvl 255 Hood/Don/Don node felt anticlimactic after that.

The hardest ones were definitely where CStorm got taken out of the mix.

i just couldn't figure out how to beat NODE 37 with Level 272 Wolv + Musle + Black Panther.
Every "Threaten" add 2 Yellow Strike tiles of 1035, and with Black Panther Battleplan, every color is a minimum of almost 3K. And the yellow tile is generated automatically by Muscle.
I have a maxed out Pun, Storm, MN Magneto. Still couldn't last more than 12 rounds
any suggestion?

Do you have LazyCap available? Everytime there are goons and/or strike tiles around he's invaluable.

Done, thanks to Sentry and team ups. I really enjoyed this PVE.

I ran sentry/ldaken for majority of my nodes. never really tried mmag/cstorm

those who ran those frequently, care to explain whats the usual strategy? or is it as simple as just trying to rain down purple and blue?

CrookedKnight

It really is that simple most of the time. Three purple matches (two if you're using a set of boosts, or just one if you're pulling out all the stops) and you can generate a big honkin' cascade while practically guaranteeing that you'll collect enough blue to throw a 2500 damage AOE that hits the enemy of your choice with four turns of stun. If you get a lot of blue on the cascade, or enough green to use Lightning Storm, often you can throw two Wind Storms in a row, which at the levels I faced as a transitioning player is generally going to kill the lowest-HP enemy in the group outright (or at least make them an easy target for Retribution), while leaving the other two at your mercy as you load up on other colors.
