Simulator 2 Cyc/Jean/Storm OP

Unknown

I'm not normally one to complain, but the final match of Simulator 2 has so many ways to hamper the opponent, it is ranging on broken and impossible. Having Jean and Storm together takes away two major facets of the game that a player can take advantage of to have a fighting chance (that being high damage and crits). Combining that with Cyclops' ability to pretty much create red AP at will with Called Shot (I'm not sure how the AI is programmed, but I've faced the team 4 times now with 4 different set ups and I can't remember any time he did not get at least 5 AP from it) makes him a monster for damage that can wipe the board by himself in some of my situations. My main team that I've been using is Kamala Kahn, 3* Thor, and 1* Black Widow because it seems to be the only way that I can hope to stun any one of them long enough to be able to do anything without it immediately getting shot back in my face by way of Jean punishing me for a crit or Storm punishing me for dealing substantial damage. Even when I do get Storm off the board I have to be VERY careful about how I work around Jean because the LAST thing I want to do is accidentally score a Crit and end up stunned for the next two turns. If you guys have any suggestions about a basic strategy that I'm not seeing that could be applied to increase my chances of survival, that would be amazing. But as of right now, I have to say that this set-up this late in the simulator and at those levels is just unwinnable.

My basic strategy for most of this sim has been , followed up by , which gets the Strike Tile bonuses for all the cascades and Match-4 & Match-5's you'll get.
The follow it up with for like 4.5K to the entire team, and if anything is left, a for like 6K to the entire team and game over. It was how I pounded through Sim 07 in Round 1 somewhat easily.
Heh, anyone remember the initial damage on back when he was first released?

For Sim 07, I am very careful with when I use to not trigger 's passive. Also try and deny Red & Yellow like crazy, but I also want it because of . 's AP drain helps a lot here. I would imagine any AP drain or stun would help. I'd say Blade possibly, but you might make enough strike tiles such that even normal matches trigger 's passive. For stunning, there's always .


Sim 07 is no joke, but I actually found the fight before it, Sim 06, to be much harder.


Yikes!

Spamming those match-5's isn't the best strategy against a lv349 Jean, but if a 4.5k AOE is wiping out the whole team, something tells me your scaling isn't anything like that.

That was his general strategy. He went on to say that he carefully avoided match-5's and denied red and yellow.

I used LThor/KK/BP since they're all boosted and I have them fully covered. I used match damage and occasionally Thor's to bring Storm down to the point where Call the Storm would down her. Her passive hurts, but once you start rolling out abilities, KK negates the damage. Then I worked on building up CtS again while saving RotP as a finisher. (If you down Cyclops with it, it still gives the other team red, but Jean can't use it.)

Agreed, it's not. My opposing levels for Sim 07 are "only" 258 currently.
That will probably change when I have to eventually recruit the Red Silver Surfer AND Black OML I have waiting in my list from some "lucky" legendary tokens...

I thought I had it bad with 239 JG... but then again I pretty much run 3*'s through everything... after scouring some more boards for advice I stockpiled Purple before the match started and hit them with whales, since I had a lot of DP points saved and I had never used it so I never knew it was pretty much the "I win" button...
