    My team for all of simulator so far has been 3Thor 153, KK 140, BP 127. I'm sure my scaling is nuts because I have an SS on my roster, though I don't use him. The final nodes have been tedious and annoying, but I've still beaten them all repeatedly. After reading this, I should use Loki too, instead of... Thor? Not sure. Thor is one of my highest damage dealers, so I hate to not use him =/

    The final fight of the 3rd sub of the Simulator is against Red Hulk! (what a surprise, and also nonsense...this dude is gonna be a beast...sheesh), Thoress & XF Deadpool. Three very powerful characters.

    My scaling had them all at level 238.

    I brought to the fight my meek 140 3/5/5 CMags, 140 3/5/3 XFW & 120 5/3/5 Loki (boosted to 192, sort of a detriment in that he tanks all his colors, but the HP didn't hurt).

    It's well known, but these three punch so marvelously out of their weight class that it's funny.

    This fight should have been a 3rd grader vs. Bruce Lee. But thanks to versatile powers that focus on being in control most of the match, I walked out with 2 out of 3 characters still standing.

    Just wanted to take a moment and celebrate the greatness of this team and how many brutal fights that they have gotten me through in this agonizing game. In the midst of all the anniversary darkness, there was at least one little shining light out there in the distance.

    What teams are working on last ISO node with red hulk? If he gets purple--you're done!

    I tried to Hulkbomb and Jean ate Hulk for breakfast.

    I did hulkbomb that node, I went for a more controlled one though, clearing as much green and purple as possible so when it went off I got cascades rather than match-5's and then leaving GSBW to use up the green.

    Cleared the last node of Sub 3 with Cyclops (lvl. 140)/ Kamala Kahn (boosted to 184)/Loki (boosted to 224). The enemy was ~ level 200. Surprisingly enough I managed to down XPool without using any other powers than Illusions. After he was down I blasted Thor and Hulk with everything I had. Ended up having to use a Deceptive Tactics team-up, but I did end up coming out of the battle almost unscathed.

    I beat it with Ares, Cage and IF, I focused on killing off Deadpool with mostly match damage from black cascades and a little Ares green while building up my yellow/black/purple so that I had more than enough to kill Rulk in one turn and then finished off Thoress.

    My scaling wasn't too bad, only 220ish for that Rulk/Xpool/Thoress node ( I don't think SS is effecting my scaling yet). Losing 3*Thor from my go to team for this event really hurt, I ended up trying with IF/XFW/Kamala. Targeted Xpool 1st, then Rulk. Not a great board start, so by the time I wore them down to Thoress, it was just Kamala left standing and it was just several rounds of me unable to get a green or purple match while desperately trying trying to deny red to Thoress - and if you save her for last, you NEED to deny/steal her red because that board will be littered with charged tiles by that point. She eventually wore down Kamala with her yellow and blue anyway.

    I've gotten the Legendary Token this morning anyway, so there's no urgency anymore, but I'll probably try IF/Slim Shady Summers/Kamala tonight sometime to let cyke take advantage of all that red you grab, just for the iso.

    Was anyone else hoping for that node to be a fight against Old Man Logan solo, like they did in the last sim with Silver Surfer? I guess the devs saw too many people clearing that one, so we got a 4* team instead. Shame, I was kinda hoping to throw Hulk & She Hulk at him.

    You get to use him in the demo node for the season, so they probably thought it better to introduce the Hulk, especially with them needing to drum up some more interest in him after Galactus round 1.

    I'm literally kicking myself against Simulation 7. Had KO'd icon_deadpool.png, stunned Red Hulk with 6,000hp left & stupidly enough I switched my target to icon_thor.png (even though I said to myself hit Red Hulk with Twin Pistols - somehow I didn't realise I switched target until I executed the attack), obviously that ended in a loss after one silly error.

    Took me an additional 2 goes before beating this node.

    Awesome, I wiped once to the Red Hulk node when it was level 238, so I waited for some health packs to try again. When I went back, it was level 218. Wiped the floor with them with Cyc/KK/Loki - involved one long, long, long turn to kill Red Hulk from full to 0 (and Thorette with splash damage).

    I used 166 Luke, 153 danny, and 130 Hood on the Red Hulk node, beating it pretty easily

    whewwww... passed the rulk node on first try.

    LCap/Loki/Blade

    I feel like any success with Blade is centered around a good bit of luck (starting board/tile drop), with a little bit of tile selection/control (user skill). so with him there's a good bit of risk/reward. if you can get him rolling.... holllly ****. which was the case here.

    I went for XFDP first, then Thoress, then Rulk. Going strictly match damage on XFDP (with Blade's ATK tile dmg), I had a good bit of AP saved up to take out Thoress, who went down in only 3 or 4 turns. saving Rulk for last meant hitting him with some highly powered ATK tiles, so his red was potentially dangerous. at that point though, I had enough to fire LCap blueflag.png a couple of times.

    It looks like I may have stumbled into a good bracket. I could use the Top 50 BP black and I'm hovering in the 30s without having 4* Cyclops.

    Just beat it with this combo. Dropped Deadpool first, then had enough of Cap's blue and Hood black to keep Hulk and Thoress perma-stunned.

    Patch/Loki/CMags. Worked on XFDP first, tiptoed around Jean, brought stunning team-ups, ate way too many CDFW's, and finished with only Loki standing under 1k health. I just got the legendary token (XFW black, woo!) so I don't think I'll be replaying that one.

    I used Black Panther, Loki and Kamala Khan. I put xfdp in front and nickel and dimed him until I was able to throw two BP yellowflag.png , two BP blackflag.png and one KK greenflag.png the same turn. It didn't last long after that. Loki pulled it's weight thanks to a lot of match 4 on the opposing team and pretty much mana starved them. It did require a little bit of luck.

    Yeah, likewise, I have been using all boosted BP/Loki/KK throughout the event, from round 1 to 3, once I have BP's yellow and black, and KK's green, nothing stands in my way, and pretty easy to fill too, thanks to Loki's steals
