    I beat the final node with Hulk, Lthor and Ldaken with +3 g/b, +3 all and fury demolition TU. I took out DP with Thor first. Then I dropped the Fury TU and after a few moves Xforce matched it and it wiped him out. It was a level 186 TU. So I think Im sitting pretty with just pro x left snd he drops the invisible tile in the bottom left corner. Took a couple of board resets and 2 or 3 thunderclaps to clear it out. Needless to say I was sweating a bit there at the end. Lol.

    All done with Rags and 2*.
    No boosts, used TUs towards the end of of the global survival node.
    Essentials 17 and took a couple of wipes but got some favourable boards and seemed to cruise through. Would never had made it if storm wasn't boosted as a 2/0/1 Rags is just a tank.

    It just seems to be wait for some luck.

    Finished up the essentials in the first two subs. I'd redo some of the missions for the prizes, but the 20 ISO makes it not worth the effort. The Gauntlet really needs to drop the 20 ISO until the nodes have green checks.

    This should be a thing for the whole game. I sometimes go through Missions in the story with 1/4 awards earned and will get 20 ISO 4-6 times before I get a different reward. It's really frustrating.

    Wowzers... So have been chipping away at the latter Simulations in the Global Domination and was having a ton of problems on 41 against Thoress/Hulk/Devil Dino and just received major damage to all three characters (went with Hawkeye w/ Stormneto) and then Storm does 3 lots of 3105 damage to the team!!! Nice to get a huge slice of luck every now again

    If we're talking about things that should be different in the game, this and having lightning rounds on weekend days would both be great changes.

    Now *that* is a great idea.

    Finished the Gauntlet this morning and was very happy for the greenflag.pngicon_blade.png reward, all in all I always enjoy the Gauntlet, yes the scaling can be crazy and yes it is very annoying when the last required character is squirrel girl (mine is 4/1/0) and yes you will be wiped out multiple times and burn through supplies of boosts and health packs but they are fun and a challenge and do give out good rewards (I think I pulled my 1st icon_ironfist.png from the event token)

    BUT the only thing I cannot stand about the gauntlet is the 3 x critical boosts reward!! there is nothing worse then completing a node against lvl 250+ to be rewarded with critical boosts, 250 iso fine, 500 iso better, token...well you may get a 3/4* but the critical boosts......just no

    Finished the Gauntlet last night. Essential 16 was probably my toughest and most strategic fight. I brought Steve Rogers and Loki (both around 140), my SG was around 65-70, and used some boosts. Enemies were mid 300s.

    Cap had Gorgon down to just under 1000 when Mystique pulled off a Shapeshift/Masterstroke combo. Used my Hood Intimidation TU to finish Gorgon off; probably should have waited for a Mischief to be in play but I wanted to get him out of there quickly in case of his Red. It took a while to get the opponents to build up enough Green to use Berserker Fury between Mischief and Mystique's powers, but I at least managed a few protect tiles in the process. I put Doreen forward as a sacrificial squirrel for BF (and she actually survived the power due to protect tiles) but she died in the tile match aftermath. Used Trickery and was able to finish them off before Patch could build up to another power.

    Tips for Sim 37, anyone? Iron Fist's attack tile (doing 500 damage per round!) and Luke Cage's defense tile are destroying me, and I can't kill either quickly while Deadpool is hanging about.

    Stormneto + XF or Cyclops. Boost B/P and G/B. Take out Deadpool first and build B/P, then use Mags' purple to add red to match Cage's tile and Storm's blue to freeze him while you concentrate on IF.

    Just cleared all the nodes besides the daken essentials. Unfortunately, I don't have him in my roster and I finished 115 during the pvp. After playing with the new mags, I don't really mind the change. I can actually cast Flux now consistently and you can still feed storm

    Stormneto+Cyclops worked like a charm for Sim 37, but now I'm getting destroyed by Sim 39. X-Force Wolverine & Classic Mags is a powerful duo, and prevents me from using Stormneto or XForce myself. Is there any amazing tandem that can shut down Sim 39?

    Got lucky. I used IW, Doom and GSBW. Important part was I had a Deadpool Whales TU...

    ....with 92 minutes left to spare, finished the "Thoress node trio" in World Domination to claim my greenflag.pngicon_blade.png cover. (Still don't have that purpleflag.png tho....)

    Special thanks to (spaced reserved for gauntlet MVPs, adding as soon as the home terminal becomes available[smiley board does not liek iPad 2]).

    All right! Half my boosts and a Whales team-up gone in a flash, but my gauntlet is complete!
    Except for the second set of essentials in Alpine Tactics. Daken's been vaulted ever since I started playing and Hotshot (my only legitimate chance) gave me an absolute curb-stomping. First time I didn't even break 400 progression in a PvP in a couple of months.
