Gauntlet Victory!

thanks. i got what you want me to do. but my Lcap is too just too lazy, the level is too low. Just tried it and couldn't last for 8 rounds. Wasn't fast enuff to get the blues and purples. Then the "threaten" came along with Battleplan. Died again.

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?

Basically. Stun lock the most problematic character(s) while you deal with the other(s). Punisher cleans up whatever is left. In the longer matches, I'd use Mags red instead of holding for Retribution, which usually generated enough AP to solve any potential problems.

I used either Ares/OBW or Sentry/2* Daken (lvl 94/78 respectively) to deal with matches where Storm or Mags wasn't available.

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.

I will also add to that Magneto's red, almost 3k damage is not bad at all...

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?

level 40 falcon! but he had 4 blue covers. Hed just eat that cd tile

Beat my final nodes this morning. I typically used hulk, patch, laken. Made sure hulk was tanking green and red. Once I threw berserker rage, I would make a match with hulk. AI would make a move and hulk turned the screen green leading to more berserker rages, plus laken strike tiles. It was very effective even on 300 plus level opponents.

I liked this event a ton and felt like it was a really nice change to not have to grind the same nodes and do the same fight. Every fight forced me to try out different strategies and character combos. I know the scaling was a little nuts at the end with 351 Juggs and such, but I was ultimately able to complete it so I guess I can't say it was impossible, just incredibly challenging, which is what it should be with no other competitive element. Special shout out to whales, whales, whales

Thank you Hood, CMags, and Punpun.

Also finished everything, #42 got the boosted whales team-up for sure, will be sure to recharge it so it will be ready for the next challenge like this.

Done! The last few essentials in the Finale didn't give me many problems, just wiped once each on 17 and 18 before I found the right team to use. Sim 41 (Bullseye's protect tiles) and Sim 37 (goon feeding BP yellow) gave me the most headaches.

I really did like the format, it's the most fun I've had in PvE in ages, but there are a couple of things that need to be tweaked. 1) Scaling. Others have said it far better than I could but there comes a point where it's not a fun challenge anymore, it's just a frustrating 'uninstall the game' type of challenge. 2) Goon fed abilities. Either let us play with goons every once in awhile or stop this. It is one of the most frustrating things about PvE.

I do sympathize, I made it through many of those nodes relying on Hood to siphon good fed AP to me, and copious use of Cap Shields to keep dangerous people stunned, and the challenge was still extremely high. Not sure how I would have done some of those nodes without my decently fleshed out roster.

Unknown

I beat it too. Node 42 with lvl 361 Sentry, OBW and Xforce was giving me some headache until I realized to use good ol' C.Storm + MNMags combo with Hood sucking enemy AP. That went surprisingly easy, I was able to keep both Sentry and Xforce stunned whole time the latter half of match. Which was more than necessary thanks to their dangerously high attacks and skills.

Although I forgot to clean up my TU roster before the final match, so no lvl361 Team Up token for me...

Just finished it a few minutes ago. Saved the essentials for Heroes until I finished Finale (which was last night). Hit the remaining 5 essentials I had left and called it a day.

DecoyDuck

Adding my name to the brag list. Finished the final node (level 370+) with a max Punisher, level 90 Steve Rogers, and level 90 Hood. Granted, the RNG was being very generous. Almost too generous...

homeinvasion

finished, it was crazy hard, kept dying to the sentry node, eventually used buffed BP/ Punisher and Hood, fluked a big cascade that got me a rage of the panther second turn.

Unknown

Beat it. PunPun, LCap, and Hood gave me the final win against Team Sentry! I hope they do another one soon.

Wobby

Got it! turns out I wouldn't have needed the extra day. Now I can go back and see if I want to farm any good teamups.

Level 384 final node... Brought Doom and Hood in with Deadpool to make sure I tanked purple and DP was staying alive... Worried when he started jumping in front of Espionage attacks! But I pulled off WWW. MNMags and CSTorm worked on a couple nodes but once levels were over 200 it felt like they were way too easy to take out.

Unknown

I got the black Psylocke cover, finally. I used Punisher/LCap/Hood in almost all of the nodes, and was very successful. I didn't have to use boosts or a whales teamup, and had only one wipe, in sim 42. I guess I had some incredible luck with the board, almost too much luck

gambl0r312

Picked up that cover for Psyduck as well! ^_^

I used Spidey + Falcon + L Thor on Sim 42...Protect Shields for the win! Had to deny Red at all costs, but eating 4 World Ruptures was no problem since it did more damage to the enemy team than mine since all my protect tiles reduced each CD to 1 dmg.

At the end it became chancy, luckily my 400 hit point L Thor brought Mjolnir into Thunderstrike to end Sentry's 1917 hit points.

Finished all but BP essential nodes. I really wish BP dies in a car accident or a bear eats him
