I'm at the point of calling it quits on this overpowered node ****. 90 levels higher than my non-boosted roster is too much and really depends all on luck which is stupid. Sounds like it's incredibly luck dependent with your current roster. I managed to beat it with 3* Cap, Rocket and Groot, and Loki, plus an X-Force TU. Boosted +3 TU AP, matched two sets of TU tiles, X-Forced Hood down a substantial amount, then match damaged him to finish him. A bad board put Loki in the way of a Sleight of Hand, which downed him; R&G took a fair number of hits for the team while I was building up AP for Cap and were eventually downed by Starlord too, but by then had 2 SSAs going, plus a Peacemaker, so finished off Starlord and LThor with that. 2* Cap unfortunately isn't a great substitute, not enough DPS. The node was 90 levels higher than my maxed 3* team too. Anyone here with a 2* roster who's beaten Node 40? I think I did it with 2* Storm, 2* Magneto, and 2* Hawkeye. Only boosted B/P. Used my initial Wind Storm stun to stop The Hood stealing; the second and subsequent ones were used on Thor. Killed The Hood > Star-Lord > Thor. Keep Thor perma-stunned. Star-Lord isn't very dangerous by himself, especially as you can match away all his abilities. Make sure to match 5 for Hawkeye's Speed Shot with Magneto's Polarity Shift as the damage is essential to chew through their health pools. You'll still need a somewhat favorable board, but it should be doable.

What team did you use for this? I used Spidey (really anyone with a purple that was a higher level than my DP to tank for him), DP, and Blade. +3 to Blue/Purple and +3 to all colors, caught a lucky match 5 early on and was able to call "whales" before the enemy made a move at all (even a Dino prehistoric arms). If you have Deadpool and have been using him semi-regularly (at least 3-5 times a week), you probably have more than enough for an insta-kill (28K DP points). I got a DP cover from his first PVE and by the time I got his cover, I had enough for 3 or 4 insta-kills. The Widow's Sting would definitely let you pound away at Hulk without triggering Anger - the overall non-whales (for someone with a mainly 2* roster) approach seems to be gather as much blue through abilities and boosts (and a friendly board) as possible, then stun away with Storm. I pulled out the nuclear option: Venom. Devoured Devil Dino and Thor. The Thor Devour was just insult to injury though.

I've been wiped three times and I'm waiting for health packs to regen. What are the enemy levels you have there? Hood+LazyCap is the only team that comes to my mind. Or try Spidey + someone tanky like BP or LazyThor + a couple of Venom Devour team-ups
