The Viceroy wrote: Question about Essential 18. The Luke Cage, Loki, 4hor fight If I use Jackpot Whales, Whales, Whales while Luke Cage's Shield special tile is out, will it still drop them all? My strategy was to go + 3 B / P, + 3 all, & my Black Widow steal TU with my Lv 90 5 1 2 Deadpool, max 5 5 3 Hood, & max 5 5 3 Punisher (cause I have to). Does WWW always insty kill everyone? I saw it take down a Devil Dino in Sim 42 with over 20K Health in one shot, so maybe it does? Since my Deadpool is "only" 5 1 2, I haven't used him much so don't know the finer points of WWW. That move helped me a ton on many of these nodes, but I've only got enough points for one more Jackpot use. Getting a 2nd Purple from the final Gauntlet progression would help a ton.

Other options are: boosted Dardevel135 - 1/1/1 - colors are covered, but not strong boosted Magneto97 - 4/3/5 - don't have a high enough storm or hawk or this might be an option? boosted torch90 - 4/4/5 - not enough health boosted CapAm88 - 3/5/5 - too slow Wolvie70 - 5/5/3 - not enough health and not leveled enough for attacks Unfortunately my storm/mags/hawk team are only to ~level 60. I think I may have screwed myself by doing a couple essentials before tackling this node (36 has gone up 8 or 9 levels with me finishing 2 of the essential side nodes). Need one more essential and this node for the hood. Any advice?

Boost Blue/Purple and All and with a little luck you should be good. You can even boost Red/Yellow too, drop an Ambush tile and use it for Match-4 target practice when you use Mags purple.

My Hood is only 2/0/1 (Level 53) and that node is repeatedly mopping me up. I don't have any 3-stars with more than 5 covers (and that one is Blade, so no help here). I have all the non-Bagman and Wolverine 2-stars maxed--mostly on what is considered the ideal cover arrangements. My big issue is at their level, Hulk's red & green one-shot anyone I have, Spiderman's yellow undoes ~4 Wind Storm's worth of damage and Blade's black is ~2/3 of any of my characters health, in addition to the AP drain. I can't reliably figure out who to even stun, much less which color to deny (and I realize both of those decisions can be very situational). I've tried Ares/Hood/OBW, but can never steal AP fast enough as I'm only one cascade from disaster. Thor's generally too slow for me against nodes where the opponents are a lot higher level than I am, but I'm open to try anything if people think a team with him would be fast enough. I've been sitting on a lot of boosts waiting for Gauntlet, so I'm not shy with any, although I'm running low on Blue/Purple +1 and AP all +1. Thanks in advance for your help. In possibly related news, for the longest time I've had my CStorm at 3/5/5 because green covers have eluded me. Now in this Gauntlet, Raging Tempest might literally be my MVP, as I'm up to nine battles where Raging Tempest saved the day when the rest of my party was wiped and CStorm was near-death herself. Maybe I won't respec her after-all, even if I get can... Only team i can think of is Ares and Obw or maybe even Wolverine. Boost red/yellow and blue/purple (and maybe green). Steal whatever AP you can to set up Sunder or Adamantium slash. I would suggest taking out Blade first. Imo Obw shld have 5 Blue covers to ensure you get some healing in case Blade's CD tile is out. Also i've heard you can time sunder with anti-gravity to get some true healing? (Not sure abt this) If using Ares, store up green to hopefully one shot Hulk (tough i know). Use Hood to absorb ability damage if unavoidable.
