    I am so certain it will be DD, I will watch the Affleck monstrosity from beginning to end if I am wrong

    Don't do it. Not even as a joke.

    Fisk is only good when he's paired with someone he can finger

    My KP is 454, this will finally give me a reason to add some levels to him. I know he is good but there are better 4*'s to sink iso into. Spidey would be brutal with his stun capability and protect tile creation....

    My 0/2/2 KP may take a stab, but I am not hopeful. At least the 2 colors I have work together.

    Fisk can finger himself just fine, thank you.

    My non-current vault still shows Star-Lord in the first position... am I missing something?

    Edit: most recent data patch now is showing KP in first position

    Oh my. Level 270 Luke Cage. May have to pump up my Kingpin to level 250 for this.

    My lvl 155 5/3/5 KP did ok with just the basic +2 ap boosts you buy with iso. Deny black, spam purple, drop yellow and finger Luke as many times as you can. :p

    This is going to be a tough one, if not impossible for lower-level Fisks. I got it on the first try, but I have a L250 553 Fisk and even for that it was a close match. Focused in purple and black (since purple would steal his yellow) and only summoned my goons when I had enough black to finger them.

    Also, a character if Cage's power level really should not have a green Torch team-up. That countdown tile was out of reach the whole time and did about 500-1000 dmg per turn.

    Oh, Luke Cage... Yeah, not going to bother with my 1/2/1 Kingpin. Even a lucky cascade will hit for 1,1,1. icon_e_wink.gif

    I managed with a 1/5/5 lvl 180 KP, but it was close and took three tries.

    This is not a case where a good board and an under covered character can carry the day. The match damage bonuses are mitigated by Cage's tile.

    I have a feeling this will bring a litany of angry posts and too few feel good "hey I beat it with a 0/1/1" stories.

    I've crashed and burned on this 5 times already with my 3/0/2 kingpin. I think if you have at least one purple cover then this is doable but without is impossible as Cage just steals all your matches. I really thought this would be my second victory on 4* DDQ but alas I'll need my healthpacks to face the inevitable OP enemies in PVE...

    I'd argue that yellow and black are the important covers as you need to deal damage with powers to take Cage down - you can't rely on match damage. You really need to think about what matches you leave for Cage though.
    My 4/5/3 level 229 Kingpin actually succeeded on the first try. icon_e_smile.gif Cage threw one Jab but I was able to match the countdown away. Swarm the board with goons, then poke poke poke... KO!
    Got red Cyclops from the token, quite nice as that takes him to 3/2/0...

    3rd try and did it with a lvl 150 2/5/2, managed to match Torch green away quickly and got a fairly boring board. Cage managed 4 black the entire match and most of those were single black on the end of a match 4.

    Purple is less important, i think if you have a little more in Yellow especially with Muscle strike tiles it might help. But yes even the luckiest cascade in the world isn't going to amount to much unless it gives you Kingpin colours in AP.

    Mine's only lvl 121, I might give it another go after my full clear of the next PVE sub. Maybe I got unlucky but I got forced into matching non essential tiles all the time and the resulting drops kept leaving cage with yellow and black.

    A good board is critical when you do no match damage...

    They did say that a 2* character would be boosted to do a 4*DDQ at some point so perhaps 2* spidey or bagman?
