Collecting Data on Player / A.I. cascades vs Ultron/sentries

Unknown

So I am back. With the reintroduction of the ultron event I thought it would be fun to keep track of the data that I saw against the Sentries/Prime/Tetris. I will say that I forgot to keep track of how many matches I actually played. I realized it somewhere between 10-20 in and said forget it. Again I consider a cascade 4 or more matches in a single turn.

I am going to preference this once again with:

This is based on MY experience, with MY play style and MY characters. Take this with a grain of salt.

So the setup:

Sentry waves:

Characters:
Because the feature always changes based on which node you choose I had to use who ever the game gave me per node; however, I always used Luke Cage lvl 166 3/5/5, Doctor Octopus lvl 166 5/5/3. I will be happy to post what my other required character spec's are if you feel that data is relevant.

Playstyle:

So I tried to keep this consistent for the sake of the test no matter what was in the wave I faced.

I always kill Gunners -> Fighters -> Flyers.

Match preference was 5-match -> 4-match -> / / -> -> -> -> -> -> ->

If there were no gunners and at least one fighter on the board, I tried to keep 5 enemy special tiles on the board as long as I had more than 4 of my own from Doc Ock's passive.

Results:

Total Cascades:

Me: 481

Sentries: 1062

Cascades Caused by Fighters Passive (destroy random bottom four from column): 634

Note: I consider the cascades off of the single passive to be a single turn; therefore, if you were facing three fighters, they could in fact get 4 turns that resulted in cascades. The three passive column destroys and then the actual match move. I felt this was similar to when a 5 match is made and it is a "another move" even though passives/attack tiles are not tallied.

Tetris:

Characters:

I used the same team all 8 rounds and only lost a total of 7 matches to Ultron. Sometimes the game starved me of sometimes the bombs were in really bad spots.

ProfX lvl 201 5/3/5 Scarlet Witch lvl 166 5/3/5, GSBW lvl 100 5/3/5.

The strat was super simple, 5match -> -> bomb -> hope that SW puts her tile somewhere that will go off before it gets to the bottom and won't screw me over with a bomb position.

Cascades:

Me: 486

Ultron: 11

Note: SW and GSBW cause A LOT of cascades. I cannot stress A LOT enough. (several times SW died because of this, but a chance I was willing to take).

Ultron Prime:

Characters:

Cage (see above) / SW (See above) / Iron Fist lvl 166 3/5/5.

Match priority: -> -> -> -> -> everything else.

I save up 10 purple and pop it twice or once if there is a black match that will give me 12 black. Then I go nuts spamming IF's pink. I use Cages black only when: I have 24 black or I am about to finish the final guy.

Cascades:

Me: 89

Prime: 46

Note: I did not see many Fighters in the prime rounds and with ultron's ability to clone special tiles they pretty much never got to use their passive after the first two turns.

Final Thought: I got burned out on this event. The monotony of 10 wave matches / 11 tetris matches every 8 hours made me hate the event again. I really like the event as a whole but by the end I am just done.
