The Gauntlet Impossible...?

Shuino

I just recently got back into MPQ after playing a ton when the game was first released. Anyways I have a good roster of Max 2* and a few 3 Stars 100+. Anyways I am on Alpine Tactics Simulation 27 facing off against a 135 Sentry / 135 She Hulk / 135 Captain Marvel. How am I suppose to beat this team with a 2 Star roster when after 4 or 5 turns Sentry just wipes my entire team?

I have been on this missing for over 2 days now with not even coming close to killing either She Hulk or Sentry. Any tips or help would be much appreciated.

Roster:

140 GSBW (5/3/5)
140 Rags (5/5)
135 Spider Man (5/5/3)
100 Model 40 (5/5/3)
100 Doom (5/3)
94 Storm ** (5/5/3)
94 Thor ** (4/4/5)
94 Wolve ** (5/4/4)
85 BWO ** (3/5/5)
78 Daken ** (5/5/0)
75 Mag ** (4/5/4)

I did that one with cStorm & mMags + Hulk(100) (+boosts-pb). Wind Storm's for everybody, but surely it's hard.

OBW+C.Storm+Mags should do the trick. Prioritize purple and blue (green if those aren't available). Then you'll have to make decisions based on what AP the AI has. If they are close to triggering a power, use Recon. If they are far away, use polarity shift to crank out blues and match 5s. From there, Windstorms should take large chunks off their HP. If you're low on HP, use OBW to heal. Use Lightning Storm to generate more AP for you. And if it is still not happening, boost to get past the node.

Even with boosts and using Storm + Mag, I will just get killed after 4 or 5 turns from just one move. I have not gotten past turn 7 without getting just wiped from Sentry. When each AI has just under 10k HP it will take at least 4 of Storms Wind Storm which I will never ever get enough AP for and will not be lucky enough from the enemy getting cascades and just wiping me in a single turn.

How is Sentry killing you? World Rupture, Sacrifice Tile or Supernova? I think I always tried to have OBW against Sentry to add turns to his WR cd tiles. I think I'd go with Storm/Magneto/OBW. If you have enough blue, might be worth it more to Wind Storm and stun Sentry if he's close to being downed. If not, you might be better using OBW's blue to extend WR cd and try destroying the tiles.

OBW worked really well for me. I focused on denying G/Y/R so Sentry can't get his abilities off. His G and Y are like 7 or 8 AP, and his R is 11 AP. After every turn, I would look and see how much AP the enemy has to see what I should deny on board or if I should use OBW's aggressive recon. I would try to match purple if the enemy had at least 1 purple, so I'd get +1 from OBW's espionage. Keeping an aggressive recon ready is key for when the enemy makes a cascade and is going to nuke you next turn.

I also used some boosts (don't remember if it was +AP or +dmg) so I could nuke down Sentry as fast as possible before he got going.

After killing Sentry, I went for She-Hulk, and then Captain Marvel.

I'm still pretty new to this game, about two weeks. So I don't have a lot of high level characters, my highest is Blade (43) won from last weekends blade event. None of my 2* are really high yet, with Storm being my highest at 39.

Now I don't remember that fight really well but I brought Blade, Ares and Daken as they all get a boost in levels (and because I'm denied bring my Captain Marvel, which I had only received that same day). I got through it the first time focusing on CM first then SH and lastly Sentry. In my case I played a tile denial game while focusing on Red/Yellow for Ares and Black for Blade. I think I did use one Team-up, a Venom devour attack for 616 damage (iirc).

I'm currently stuck at level 33 again Colossus, Blade and Thor. The big problem here for me is that Blade is boosted to 133, so now that I'm denied using him the best I have is CM (70), Daken (70) and Ares (65) vs a bunch of lvl 81 heavy hitters.

Any suggestions?

GSBW + IM 40 + OBW, don't be scared with high AP cost of your abilities - you will be tried to deny yellow and green, after 12 yellow thanks to IM recharge you should have (or be close) Sniper Rifle and Unibeam (just remember it drains 2AP) and you have steal from OBW - but better save for Deceptive Tactics if you can. With AP boosts it should be quite easy.

GSBW and oBW? Why didn't I think of it first!

With that roster you shouldn't have a problem on that node. Sounds like somebody got rusty.

Yeah, too sleepy
GSBW + IM 40 + Storm should do.

Rags-GSBW-Spidey. Boost Green/Black, Purple/Blue and All AP.

Object: Generate Green as fast as humanly possible and Sniper Rifle them to death. One match from Rags will generate some, 2 purples will generate more (plus give you protect tiles to help minimize match damage/world rupture). When not matching green, deny red (which you'll use to fuel Rags anyway). Use Spidey to slow them down and heal where need be, but blue/yellow should be an afterthought when matching.

Alternative is not use the Green/Black and go with match damage +100% instead.

Their levels match the AI, so it's a considerably more level playing field than some of the 2* tricks. It just comes down to outplaying the AI. Might take a couple tries, but that should do the trick.

Perhaps GSBW, Spidey and Thor plus 3 of the +1 AP boosts?

Purple and Yellow create green tiles to load GWBS's Sniper Rifle.

Was finally able to pull through using Mag / Storm / OBW and +3 Blue and Purple Boosts

Only reason I won was She Hulk hit my Team for an AoE knocking everyone under half and Storm just throwing out 7k in damage after that haha.

Thanks for the advice gents

I just ran into Blade.
My god his purple is overpowered as hell. Two tiles that did over 1000 damage. Each. Plus his tiles. It took three moves to knock my three guys down after he put those down.

Yep, same. I just got rekt'ed on Sim 33.

I beat that one with the only 3 boosted characters I had 2*Ares, 2*OBW, and 3*Classic Daken. Banged away at Sentry first, then She-Hulk, then Marvel.
I'm currently stuck on 28.
