Fix your tiny kitty node ranking!

In "normal" sim, node 7', it is listed as "easy" difficulty. But I have tried ten times today to beat it, using every combo I can think of, with boosts to the max. And EVERY SINGLE TIME I am killed. I can't even drop whales, because I can't get enough purple matches to fire it off, even with boosts! The board is ALWAYS stacked against me. TEN TIMES?!? Are you kidding me?!? I wouldn't be upset if this were labeled hard or deadly, but it's supposedly "easy" - yeah, right.

This game is broken. If that's an easy node I'm the pope.

    Greetings, your Holiness icon_razz.gif

    Who have you been trying against that node?

    There are a couple of things you need to take into consideration when you tackle that node. IF's Attack Tile is going to whittle your health down steadily over time, and Cage's defense tile is going to reduce your match damage to near zero, so you need to have team members who will be able to deal with that for you. My approach was to take two regenerators plus strike tile generators (Patch and R&G), and Loki as insurance against a bad board plus IF's black tile generation (plus his ability to flip tiles). In the early part of the match, while you're building up AP to drop your strike tiles, soak the damage from IF's attack tiles with your regenerators, then once you drop your strike tiles, Cage's protect tile becomes irrelevant. Beserker Rage + Trickery is game over. R&G is useful as an outlet for the blue AP denial you'll use later against TGT.

    That is one combo I haven't tried. I'll give it a shot.

    Bless you, my son.

    I really hated this node and thought it would be a cakewalk since it's under 100 for me. Wrong! Luke Cage and Iron Fist are too strong a combo, almost imbalanced. So you have to try and keep them from making matches. I used OBW (frankly, she pretty much has been a must on almost every node; only time I was really worried was on nodes where they took her away) to take away AP whenever possible, Xforce (if high enough level) as my nuke, and Human Torch (either 2* or 3* will do) as my alt nuke. That worked for me.

    This node was nightmare on Hard sub before. It still is, even on 'easy' level 70 you fight 5/5/5 Thoress and IF. They should just put XForce instead of Cage, though I guess they are saving that for Gauntlet final node icon_rolleyes.gif
