It's not possible to use this team for Captain Marvel essential nodes, and the 'hard' nodes are generally level 200+ and you're looking at a range they can one shot both of your support with most moves. Sure just because they can one shot you doesn't mean you can't beat it, but it's hardly a reliable way to approach level 200+ enemies. I see some borderline high 100 nodes early in the event but those can be handled by a standard mix of 3* as well. This event is difficult because the support you're counting on has a high chance of getting taken out by an Onslaught or Chemical Reaction. Even Gravity Warp can do 3K. I had a fight where the enemy took out The Hood with match damage on first turn (I think they had Bullseye who had a 4.5X modifier on crits), and while that's exceptionally bad luck, taking half of that damage sure is not unusual.

And if they manage to damage your team to a point where you might lose, cStorm will very often turn the tides - specially if you've used Zerker rage and her yellow goes off multiple times. My let's dance is 212 and I'm doing it with this composition(boosting blue/purple)

My let's dance is 212 and I'm doing it with this composition(boosting blue/purple) Clever Girl 2/3 doesn't have Daken or Ares and seems to be lower level in general compared to other subs. I'm sure that combo works fine there but a standard 3* team would work too. But once you have Daken or Ares on the other team in the 200+ range you just don't have any interesting tricks you can do. Clever Girl is a good example of the limit of how hard something can go and you still have a chance. I fought the level 200+ Daken/Ares many times in this event and once they start showing up, there's just nothing clever you can do when they're fully capable of making short work of characters with 10K+ HP let alone anything else. No they don't do that every time but you sure aren't going to be able to deny a Chemical Reaction or Onslaught with any reliability at 5 AP each.

If you just add your 166 Patch to it and use red/green to tank the non-aoe hits you can finish a TON of nodes without ever taking any damage. Someone called it "Team white" in another thread, I use it constantly.

Someone called it "Team white" in another thread, I use it constantly. I tried it for some of the easy nodes, failed like 3 times, and even if you pull it off, you're not going to get more than 1 node because of the match damage alone. (and there are a lot of bullseye nodes too)
Phantron wrote: You don't really need anything clever against the weaker teams. Your best green user + 2 other guy is likely to do fine against Clever Girl 2 & 3. Sure I use my backup guys on the level 80 nodes that somehow still manages to pile up a lot of damage on your character but that's not where the intense action is. Alaska's nodes are relatively easy so you can do something clever but when you face a level 200+ Daken/Ares, being clever goes out the window and that's where the big points are. With the 2H 24M schedule you're probably going to have all your health pack tied up on your best characters, and if you take say Captain America + Black Panther + Punisher against a random level 200+ team that has either Daken or Ares, you probably have a better than 50% chance of losing which will set you back 5-6 hours on regen time. Even if you won and only took 50% damage that's 3 hours of downtime so don't count on using any of those guys anytime soon. Sure a lot of times you got nothing to lose so you might as well go for it, but roster diversity shouldn't mean you have 10 guys to randomly throw at a node and see which one of them gets lucky. The 5-6 hour recovery time for the big 3*s makes it really hard to experiment simply because if your experiment didn't work out, you won't get to try again for a long time. You sure won't have health packs to use on your secondary characters if you're attempting to play at the 2H 24M pace.

If you have time to kill while waiting for your characters to regen then read the 69 pages on True Healing viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10239
GrumpySmurf1002 wrote: Having your health packs chewed up by your top guys is exactly why you want to use things like Magneto-cStorm against the cheap nodes. That's still match damage your top guys don't have to bother absorbing. And no, roster diversity doesn't mean randomly throwing guys out there, but I should hope if you're playing seriously, you understand team dynamics enough that 'random' is not a deciding factor of roster assignment.

Neither are the first two one-time nodes you need to do before unlocking the rest of the nodes. Is anyone else encountering this? Not being able to essentials is kinda bad if I want to place, anyone else encounter this? Did you go back into the main and replay the 2 or 3 nodes? I had to do that yesterday for my Alaska sub to show right.

I also did was look at the player's teams. None of them has max covers. They all have like up to level 40s thats it. time for Pamizard to make a true comeback while waiting for an alliance here to invite her into their awesome team!

You've been bracketed with starting players. They are going to get infinitely easier opponents to beat thanks to the scaling mechanic, and will be able to run up points far quicker than you'll be able to.
