Yeah, I'm sure he's great, but as a 3*, he's scarce as hell and I can't remember the last time I got one of him. I only get the yellow ones, and am yet to find a blue, so I can't even stun with him. Geting him down to 40% with Punisher then offing him in one hit sounds nice, but he's also a rare 3*. Original Storm is great to use, but her blue is way too powerful and puts her in position to get hit. I can use Steve Rogers Captain America to tank blue (he's at level 114) but a level 369 does too much damage. I was actually able to get him down to 8K before he used clap and smash to kill my team. I just need a good midlevel team recommendation to kill him. I can use OBW or Daredevil as a stun, but not both because they're too low a level, and Daredevil can only stun for one turn. Can I get a team recommendation with all 3 members listed?

Put a tank in position one (2* Thor does nicely). Deny green/red (which builds up AP for Thor), collect blue, then Windstorm, and hammer away with Thor. Rinse and repeat. You can use Polarity Shift to recharge blue for Windstorm while Hulk is stunned and do some damage in the process. You might get downed by a nasty cascade, but a bad cascade has taken out my 3* Cap team before too. An alternative would be to use OBW (since she's boosted) in position two, as she should tank blue for 2* Storm as well, in which case you use her purple to keep Hulk's green/red under control, and help ramp up to your stun/attacks. The main difficulty is going to be getting to that 11 blue for your first Windstorm. After that, you should have a reasonable chance of keeping him stunlocked.

My highest characters are only Level 86, so the 395 hulk match3's at least one character before I can get anywhere close to a stun and any cascade by Hulk is generally a party wipe. I haven't tried loading up on boosts, yet, but it's never been close enough for me to even think it would matter. Oh well, if there's a node I can't do here, so be it.

When this event first ran in early 2014 I ran MMN, CStorm, 2* Thor. Boost P/B AP, R/Y AP. You can use MMN Purple and Red, and Thor's yellow and Green and then Cstorms Blue. try and have Thors thunderstrike ready to go when you have enough blue. Windstorm-thunderstrike- COTS followed up by MNMags read to help generate AP again. It does more damage than Thor's red. Then you try and collect enough purple to stun get blue to stun again. It is hard but very doable. Also now ask for MBW 5 blue for additional stun or if you have an OBW blue/purple to heal your team or steal AP as a TU that would help out a lot.

Played the easiest node - one still very difficult essential node, one time. That's all the points I have in hard. I moved to #178. In a thousand person bracket. 800 people haven't been able to win ONE NODE worth of points (or completed that same node, one time...or my one attempt rubber-banded me over their one attempt): or they just gave up. What a way to run an event, just lock out most of the people who are in it.

What a way to run an event, just lock out most of the people who are in it. The essentials are considerably easier than the whacked combinations of enemies you face on normal nodes and are worth more points, so that's not very surprising. For some reason the game thinks just because the enemies are 50 levels lower it's clearly much easier to fight something like Venom + purple feeder versus just 3 DAs straight up, because it's not like getting stunned every other turn is going to adversely screw you up.
