    Patch/Loki, and always target the opponent with the highest health.

    That was my strategy first two refeshes. Loki , Patch and KK who is really good as malcrof noted in avoiding those pesky protect/black countdown tiles.

    Away sunday/Monday so will just play up until then. Don't have a fully built marvel but not going to lose any sleep there.

    Besides at this rate she will be back again before you know it.

    I used xf, bp, cmag. The key is to trigger rage of panther as much as possible, and use battle plan to speed up the process. thus, bk and yel are your match priorities. Hit hood first, and thing second to avoid triggering his yel protect tile spam.

    Add: When I first read Thing's yellow power, I knew we were going to see the jumping jack duo in simulator. I didn't think the devs would put them in for round 1 though. That is pure evil. icon_cry.gif

    That's what I used. And after firing off the green/black combo, I got a cascade that had Deadpool and Thing bouncing back and forth in front of each other like ping pong balls.
    Full disclosure, I had the same thing happen on my first attempt. So I smacked myself in the face and stuck to matches at the top of the board the next time through.

    I used icon_daken.pngicon_blade.pngicon_falcon.png

    Can't rely on AP with Hood around. Had to sacrifice Falcon halfway through the match.

    I tried Patch/Loki with a few different thirds (LDaken, CMags, Spidey) yesterday along with a few runs of 2*Storm/MnMags/MHawkeye (they surprisingly came the closest) but I always lost Loki or Patch too early. A lot depends on the board, but the Patch/Loki combo was (as many have said) key...but you MUST start with match damage at Hood, then once you have enough green/black for Berzerker Rage/Trickery, target Deadpool to trigger Thing's yellow, then use Trickery to make his protects into Strikes...it's a tough @$$ node though...

    Round 2, not as bad, mainly essentials are a bit tricky now with icon_thing.pngicon_lukecage.pngicon_mystique.png

    Any ideas for OBW/cyclops/carnage node?

    I have a 2* roster that is essentially maxed and limited 3* support.
    I take out OBW first then try to kill cyclips but he always takes me out first. Been trying Storm/Magneto/Cap Marvel all 2*...
    Also, shouldn't the level of the node go down as I wipe repeatedly?

    Thanks for the help!

    Just finished up PVE Sim Subevent 1 in my stream. Black Panther + Iron Fist still works as well as it did last time Black Panther was powered up. Also powered up Patch. Also powered up Magneto. Praise Shuma Gorath y'all.

    Should? In theory, yes. In practice? 3 wipes later on my end, that's a no.

    Apologies for double post...

    Anyone know if that opening node on the first/main/front page sticks around after the first sub ends?

    Wondering if I should grind it out or leave it.

    TIA!

    Edit: nm, figured it out.

    Yawn, more Capt. Marvel rewards and more Falcon rewards as progression. Two PVE's will be sitting un-opened in my events queue I guess.

    You have to bear in mind, what may be a "yawn" for some, the devs also have to appeal to an audience of game players in the 0-300 days stretch, who could very much USE the icon_caroldanvers.png and icon_falcon.png covers. The long-term players get to chase Carnage and Thing which is is yawn-inducing to newer players who aren't going to want to devote a roster slot to a 4-star character they have little to no chance of picking up a second or 3 rd cover for until months down the road.


    I'm at day 342 and I really needed the last progression award, now I have Falcon fully covered! YES!

    Captainmarvel, meh, I won't kick that cover out of bed for eating crackers but I don't really care.

    Finished up Simulator Round 2 on my stream if anyone wants to see the lay of the land, Simulation 6 is much harder than 7(Gimmick Hulkbuster node)

    OK, so 9 health packs later (anytime my scaling wants to drop...), I cannot figure out the Falcon essential in the second sub. I think it's Blade, Magneto, and Gamora? Yeah, that's it.

    Help?

    I use Patch, Daken, Falcon. I take out Blade first primarily with match damage, maybe a Chemical Reaction and wait until I have enough to do Beserker Rage into Best There Is to take care of the other two. Priority is red/green > yellow > blue.

    Thanks for the response!

    Yeah, I realized last night that I've got to remember that a boosted 3* with 2 covers is merely a **** character with more health.

    Ended up using 2* Daken and Patch, as you suggested, and between the Strike & Protect Tiles it went pretty well...

    "Trivial" though? Mmm, no.

    This was a rough one for transition players. I don't have any of the featured characters covered past more than 7 or so, and I can't remember wiping so much in an event. But I'm going to just barely get the Falcon cover, and I'm good with that.

    Just finished up 3rd subevent in my stream, that last node is tough(and I got lucky finishing it without taking damage) and since I reached max prog, can now ignore this event icon_e_smile.gif.

    Prof X/Scarlet Witch/Doom... Ha ha devs, very funny. Witch's CD tile going off pretty much assures a match 5 which sets off X's passive, also generating enough pink for Witch's AOE. So I'm dead by turn 4.

    Any suggestions?

    honestly I'd suggest NOT doing it - that node is ridic and I literally got so lucky I didn't take match damage and had 5-7 abilities built up to take their team down.

    The kill order is Witch > Doom > X, but you're going to get hurt(or prof x will invis) by the end of the match
