I've been mxing up my line up of Xforce, Hulk, Hood, LDaken, Lthor and get my **** kicked every time.

3Thor, Hood, and Mystique got it done for me. Mystique's shapeshift will further help deny AP, and if you get off a masterstroke, it will one shot any of them. (if you have her covered/leveled)

I have Mystique leveled to 75 3/3/4...................this enough?

If you have enough iso to toss her into the 100's, then yes, it should be!

You have two enemies with very cheap abilities that will hurt you, Juggernaut red, and Ares green, so you need to deny red and green as a priority. Mystique purple/black will hurt you too, but the build up is pretty protracted for that, so that's less of a concern. You need to bring along characters that will use that red and green that you're denying. From your roster, options include Deadpool/Punisher/Loki, or LCap/LThor/Loki. Either should work reasonably well. The advantage of DP/Pun/Loki is that you get a cheap red in DP which should help chip away at their health, and then a good finisher in Pun's red, along with a decent green. The disadvantage is no active yellow, so if you're also preventing Sunder, you won't have a use for it. The second team is a lot slower, but once you get LCap going, it should be essentially game over, plus it gives you an outlet for the yellow (and full rainbow coverage to boot). I'd take down Juggs first, Ares second, Mystique third.

I've hit my end point against Cyclops/She Hulk/ Scarlet Witch. There's no way on earth i can get past them with the team i have unless i get some ridiculous luck. Within 4/5 turns i'm hit with a reality crush, effectively taking one of my characters out of the game, which is usually followed up by cyclops hitting me for 5k and killing whoever wasn't stunned, all the while she hulk destroys my ap and steals my stat tiles. Nothing i can do against them and i figure the risk of throwing my phone out of the window probably outweighs the 50 hp i might go on to get. Think it's safe to say i'm out.

Unfortunately the alternative is the juggernaut event... Maybe this is the devs way of telling me to take a break

furygunner

As usual, u guys r the best!
Left with Loki standing but used storm team up to stun as last resort which cleared,in 1st seating! Thanks morph3us!

I've been away from the game a lot over the last few months and just starting to play a little again now. Didn't miss it so much, but I digress.

This team is slaughtering me, every time. Nothing I try or earlier suggestions seems to be able to get through.

Welcome back indeed... or maybe it's continue to stay away.

furygunner

Sorry guys, i don have much health and every loss I gota wait like 1.5 hour for 3 health pack and really wish to get the final reward,
Plus i havent done the final 3 essentials but everyone is pretty much saying "whale it"

Any tips for SIM 42 Hulkbuster/Lthor/Deadpool?

I've went though almost everything, someone put Lcap/ Hood/ Loki
My hood isnt really powerful at L93 ,5/3/1
Loki is at L110, 5/3/3
Lcap is 153 boosted(otherwise 110) 3/3/4

IW is 1 yellow cover(invisible) at L160(boosted)
2star Mag lvl 150
Mystique L134 2/4/3
Luke Cage L110 4/4/5
Squirrel Girl L100 5/5/3
IF L110 4/2/5
Loki L119 5/3/2
Blade L105 5/3/5
Doom L102 5/3/4
Daken L105 4/5/2
Punisher L105 4/43/3

Rest are kinda weak..

Again, thanks for all the help.
Just afraid by the time i figured, time would run out plus I got 3 more essentials to go.Got 1 day and 6 hr left..

j0nats

Boo yeah! Beat loki she hulk ultron in one try... using the ever dependable hulkpatch bomb + a just-in-time IW daily drop.

Got a really nice board... was able to down loki first with a deadpool TU - little off the top + berserker rage. Then on the next move hulk got hit 3 times and i was able to get enuf green for 3 berserkers on she hulk. Once she died it was easy pickings on ultron due to the number of berserker strike tiles on board woohoo...

victory lap on the human torch essentials later tonight to get my hulkbuster

Alrighty, let's break this one down. The threatening abilities in this node are Hulkbuster's black feeding red, LThor's yellow feeding green, and Deadpool's red and purple. Hulkbuster and LThor are slow to get started, so initially your main threat is going to be Deadpool's red. Deadpool's also your obligatory first target, because of Life of the Party, which means that you don't really need to deny purple, since he's not likely to get to 14 purple. You need to deny black, red, and yellow. I would run LCap/Hood, even though your Hood is undercovered, since it gives you a good outlet for black in accelerating Cap's shield return. It also gives you a better outlet for the yellow. At three covers, Dormammu's Aid steals red, green, purple, and blue, which is sufficient for what you're using it for, and given how slow HB and LThor are, it should delay them significantly. For a third, I'd pick 2* Magneto. He gives you an outlet for purple, which will accelerate Cap's shields too. Your second target depends on how close HB is to getting Overdrive off and LThor getting Thunder Strike off.

furygunner

I thought i was gona lose this one at loss once earlier, only bring down deadpool.
But 2nd time healing n using same team, I had enough shield to delay the match though Lcap still went down coz of hulk skill eventually, but got Wolverine 2star team up to minus 3k damage and 2star storm teamup for the 1.8k damnage or so plus shield.
Never expect to win this with this combo(esp when hood seems so vunerable, yet ironic he is the last man standing this time!).
Hard but thanks to you, i did it..

I just tore through a great chunk of Global Domination with Mystique, MNMags and Prof X. I managed to get through Sim 31-35 all on the first try. I don't I've ever been this lucky. Definitely much more fun than being stuck on that tinnykitty She-Hulk/Scarlet Witch/Cyclops hellhole of a node. I didn't get through Sim 36 on the first try (Falcon/Daken/Cage) but hopefully it won't be a major problem.

razput1n

I got deadpool points to 25800 and just the final node with Ultron/loki/SH left... hope point daily resets soon

xdogg

Finally beat Ultron, Loki, SH with Torch, Cyclops, IW +2 green, +2 red, +2 all and a lot of luck, didn't have enough Whales so I thought I'd never finish this, took out SH first then Loki, took about 4 tries with this team, tried all the others people suggested and wasn't coming close

optimus2861

Got my Torch black and that's it for me.

A 3* transitioner takes what he can get from events and doesn't push his luck!

Kenyzdor

I am at a 3* transition and I managed to get all nodes aside from the last one as I don't have Invisible Woman on my roster. Got Black Panther though.

I've been trying to get through the final Ultron/Loki/SH node for 1.5 days now. I've done everything I can think of short of spend money on this and the result is the same every time: full wipe. I'd say in more than 50% of my runs 2 of my characters are downed before I can manage to down even one of the opponent's. I've burned almost a full stack of "+2 All AP" just trying to grab enough purple AP to fire off a Whales. I swear if I see Illusions dump another bomb (or 2 or 3!) to the bottom row I'm going to throw my phone across the room.

Who thought up this node? Did they actually test it and think "this seems like it'll be tough, but a fun puzzle", cause to me it feels like they were thinking "how can we anger the greatest percentage of our player-base". How many players got trough this node and felt that it was their skill and not blind luck that got them through?

I'm a day 550 player, and it's nodes like this - intentionally designed to frustrate and burn players' health packs - that make me seriously question why I keep playing this game.

Anyway, rant over, I guess. Have to give this node a break and let my health packs regen before I run out of time for a run at FFW.

noone is able to send you a whales team up?? That is how i ended up doing it. Ms. marvel 2* + whales team up, get some yellow so she can make you some team up tiles.. it is the easiest way to whale it.

If not, bring mystique to make purples for you, only other thing i can suggest if you are trying to get a whale off.

I was stuck on this node for two days because I ran out of whales. I'm on day 587 so I have a pretty diverse roster. Finally ended up beating it with MN Mags and 1* Black Widow. Packed my strongest TU, stockpile boosted blue/purple and all colors. Stunned She Hulk ASAP and kept her stunned as top priority. Got rid of Loki first, then Ultron, then She Hulk. It took me two tries with this team. Countless others were wiped out before that. This was hands down the hardest match for me to beat, ever.

scottee

I didn't have any Whales saved up, and just finished it.

Beat IF/HB/Hood with Hulk/Thor. Lost 3 or 4 times with other teams before winning with this team on first try. I actually focused on Hulkbuster first, as he's the only real offense you're scared of.

Beat Ultron/Loki/Shehulk with LazyCap/Hood. Focus on making sure there are NO purple or green matches for AI. Then get red/blue when you can. If you can get Cap rolling in the first couple of turns, should be fine from there. Focused Loki, then SH, then Ultron. This worked about the 4th time.
