Stuck on this "easy" node.

Lv 228 Mags, Iron Fist & Punisher.

All Fast, All big health pools, Rainbow team.
Iron Fist Leech each turn sets up punisher 40% kill. Mags Red or Blue = dead character. Mags Yellow = Game over, not to mention spamming Molotov cocktails generated from Iron Fist turning board black.

All this to get 250 PvE points?

Cant even work out how to down it once, never mind grinding it & its only the first node of 4!

Scaling out of control (only have 2 x Lv 270's - Fury, XF), the rest 166's

    I used luke cage, kamala and dd to stun. Little tip. Punisher will get his black off let the attack tile run and match away iron fists. As long as one on board iron fist won't cast his. For some reason not a lot of people realise that.
  • I'm having an issue with SIM 7. A 183 DXF, 183 Storm, and a 183 Thing are killing me. My max characters (Hulk, BP) are 166 and from there its my DPs which are locked. A couple of my friends laughed and tired. Both failed epically over and over.


    Scaling has never been an issue for me, but this is crazy...

    Countdown for what times 10,000 followed by a Yancy Street Special 5550 one turn K.O.

    Catch a break and bust a special to be met by X-Enforcer.

    I was looking forward to sim, but I'll save excitement for something else.

    i'm glad i'm not the only one having issues. I thought something was up. the first left node (Sim 4), i wiped at least 3 times. had to use 2 or 3 health packs. i went with cstorm, hulk and loki, since all three have "reactive" abilities (raging tempest, anger, mischief). hulk barely survived (just a few hundred health).
  • The only sim I've wiped on is Sim 7. Sims 5-6 got hairy and 6 came down to Hulk having less than a 1000 Health. I'm gonna have to grind the essentials down to nothing to have a chance I guess?
  • On the last node I used Cage, Fist, and XForce. Killed deadpool first with match damage (no powers) to keep the thing from creating protect tiles and then unloaded specials on him. Storm isn't too hard after you down the other two.

    Here's a 3* solution to that icon_thing.pngicon_deadpool.pngicon_storm.png node with the big iso8.png prize.
    I used icon_kamalakhan.pngicon_loki.pngicon_caroldanvers.png with great success.

    1) Earn 20 blacktile.png AP through some combination of tile matching, icon_loki.pnggreenflag.png, and icon_caroldanvers.pngyellowflag.png
    2) Hit icon_deadpool.png with icon_caroldanvers.pngblackflag.png for 9 blacktile.png AP
    Strangely, this will trigger icon_thing.pngyellowflag.png, but stun icon_deadpool.png, which will prevent icon_deadpool.png from retaliating against you.

    3) Use icon_loki.pngblackflag.png for 11 blacktile.png AP
    4) Kill with match damage. Even icon_caroldanvers.pngredflag.png becomes deadly.

    If KK has healed Captain Marvel enough to take hits, then match with Captain Marvel to Trigger X-Enforcer. She'll take damage, but KK can heal her almost as fast as she she gets hurt.

    EDIT: oops... I meant Captain Marvel not Ms. Marvel! Apologizes to anyone who attempted this with Ms. Marvel. icon_e_confused.gif Thanks to those that caught my mistake.

    Any tips for someone in 2* land? I'm stuck on sim 5 against Cage, Squirrel Girl and Gamora. Torch + Doc Oc, Storm didn't work so I went back to my old favourite Stormneto + thor and that got mowed down too.

    I don't have any useable 3*, at least none that I consider useable. (For reference, my roster: http://mpq.gamependium.com/rosters/shusheshe/spreadsheet/)

    Yeah, Loki is great for that final node. I teamed him up with prof X and GSBW. With my prof X at L250 and Loki buffed, Masterplan generates black. It's a risky, squishy team, but as soon as you have enough purple for GSBW and a bit of black and green, you've pretty much won.
  • I found Fist, Hulk, Steve to be pretty awesome so far.
    No trouble with any of the left hand nodes with these 3.

    Hulk anger just generates green over and over. The node with Storm was crazy once she had hailstorm out - every turn was anger - cascades a plenty. With a critical boost it would have been even better!

    Anyway, I only used that green for Fist's power. Don't think i used or needed Steve blue or Fist pink.
    Am sure Hulk was tanking green, black and red which is all I needed - so only Hulk was taking the majority of damage.
    Black boosted Fist green strike tiles, occasionally matches them away to get Steve red shield going. But mainly, it was Anger, Anger, Anger all the way!

    Could prob sub out Steve for anyone else - either an AP stealer or strike tile booster.

    When I wipe with all my boosted guys, I usually pull out patch/loki/cMags. For the XFDP node I brought stun team ups so I could nuke DP without triggering the brick wall. Gotta do a lot of saving up so you can push through a ton of damage all at once.
