    There didn't appear to be a simulator event thread in the events forum when I made this post, just a simulator brackets thread.

    Some of the teams in this particular simulator are top flight. That Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm combo is rough too. Gotta EARN that ISO.

    I found this whole sub to be a level up in difficulty from the first sub. Simulator is by far the best event in my opinion due to the iso rewards and the fun strategy fighting teams you never face off against in PvP or other PvE. I used my 1/2/2 iceman for stunning Jean/Storm depending on what I was trying to do, switch for blue/pink generation and additional stunning when needed, and 3* deadpool. No active yellow, but you want the AI to take all the yellow matches anyway, at one point cyclops had 3 of his yellow tiles out there. You could take stun TUs also but I needed to stun many times to make sure Jean was stunned everytime switch was about to make a critical. I don't know if it will work again but it worked on my 1 attempt so far.

    I went with Thor/Doc Oct/Daken

    Worked out pretty fine. Focus down Switch (Call the storm doesn't trigger thing passive), then take thing out. Then just have to slog through the ice man stall game.

    so did you beat it? who did you use?

    I am on attempt #9 or so, don't have any health packs or any healthy strong characters left.

    I'm soft capped at 140 with a lot of characters, and JG/Cyc/Storm are all 200.

    edit: all three are spec'ed at 5/5/5. is this normal? this is one of the toughest nodes I've ever played against

    Goto team patch Loki 3thor.
    Focus on storm first avoiding 5 match then jean grey.

    I loved the previous sub with thing. Berserk, thing shields, cast mischief. Hah.

    Cyc/JG/storm - level 237

    Did it first time with Cage, LCap and KK.
    Keep black to stun Storm, then AOE KK green plus other moves you have accumulated.

    Yes, the 5/5/5 is normal on the uber nodes. I haven't tried it yet, but Winfinite and Fistbuster are going to be rough going with JG in there. Even hulkbombing is risky. I plan on going in with XFW, Cmags, Loki, see if i can't king'em.

    after being out of health packs and my stronger characters, I just started throwing random combinations of my weaker characters at them.

    ended up getting it done on attempt #11 or 12 with blade, HT3, and Patch. Blade pretty much did everything himself, surprisingly. or not so surprisingly considering red tiles stayed on the board the whole match, and I kept getting purple and black matches the whole time to feed Nightstalker and Keep Your Enemies Closer. all that to say it was pretty much luck, since it was a very fortunate chain of events.

    Carnage, Doctor Octopus and Devil Dinosaur laugh at these three. And dance.

    I tried that team and came close but still lost. Will try again and hope for a better board.

    Iceman, when he was still pre-release, in one of the Sneak Peek threads, was referred to as a possible Hulkbuster-buster by IceIX. Dr. Doom's 5 cover blue (can be used as a teamup or take him into the match) would be the Hulkbuster-buster-buster. Iceman wants to turn the board blue, you turn it black. If you've got HB on your team, that'll give him plenty of fuel to try to match to overload into a repulsor punch. If not, try a user with a good black, like Black Panther who is boosted for this event.

    I would also suggest using the Iron Fist/Loki (in fight or 5 black teamup)/Doom (in fight or 5 blue teamup). If you start chipping away at SW or Iceman, and build up enough AP to have 12 black in the AP, and enough purple for multiple uses of IF purple, I'd use IF purple to hit someone with lower health than Thing, trigger Rock Solid multiple times, then use Loki black to flip all the tiles. Then you've got a lot of strong strikes to amplify Iron Fist's attack tile for the rest of the match. Make any match, use any power, strike tile enhanced attack tile before the AI gets to make a match.

    Also, don't leave this node for last if you're grinding. Grinding the other nodes in the sub is gonna cause these levels to shoot up, like usual. I was 2/4 in grindtime because of this node and only managed to finish 2nd in the sub, not 1st because I left a lot of points on the table with this node.

    My Cyke/JG/Storm are level 258. Got crushed twice and with 3 star Storm not being usable, my normal team of Loki, Storm & 3 stars Mags is a no go

    Used this team and won with lcap hanging on with 218 health. He is so vastly underrated as he basically won this single-handedly after i used the other 2 as meat shields.

    For round 1, sim 7 I used Lthor (buffed), hood, loki. Target Thing first. If possible try to allow AI to 4-match to trigger Loki green. AP denial works great against this team.

    I tried to Hulkbomb and Jean ate Hulk for breakfast.

    For the last node of round 2, I used KK, 4hor, and BP. I used 4hor to stun Storm, and then let loose with a rage of the panther. With Storm out of the picture, I didn't need to worry about using AOE anymore. Got a few more stuns from blue charged tiles.

    Yup....this node is so frustrating! My main roster were all dead so desperate times calls for desperate measures lol. I just happen to try out few builds and I came up with this...Works like a charm (first time, luck?) 2* mags/DD/Scarlet Witch. Grab purple, blue first then use Mag's purple skill to generate blue to stun Jean Grey (***IMPORTANT*** not to make a MATCH 5!). By now, hopefully, you should focus on getting red AP for DD's trap(s). The rest just follow through for me. I did use boosts though. +2 blue/purple, 50% more dmg to blue/purple and 100% on all match dmg. Good luck!
