    Deny black.
    And really really really deny red.
    So as long as every turn only has one green, black or red match, you're golden.

    This match was no fun, and neither was the falcrap blue I got for it.

    Level 250 5/3/5 beat it second time. Gosh darn it, photon blast does quite a lot of damage, doesn't it.

    The reward of X-Force green was unwanted. Since he was nerfed I've been trying to respect from 5/5/3 to 3/5/5, he's been stuck on 4/5/4 for months, and I think that's the 3rd green I've pulled. If you're going to give me X-Force, make it yellow, for flip's sake.

    /looks at 1/1/1 Jean Grey

    Yeah not happening but sure I'll give it a try why not

    /plays
    //Moonstone gets off a match-5, Jean counters the damage and stuns Moonstone

    Well, no, she actually didn't, because the way the game handles that - bugged or not - is 'oh good you stunned me and the turn of mine you stunned me on COUNTS as my stun so I'm not actually stunned after all ha ha ha.'

    Basically unless there's a bug in play the only thing Jean's blue is gonna do against Moonstone at my level is ensure that she doesn't get to move immediately after getting a match-5.

    She still gets her next normally scheduled turn to **** me up with.

    Won't be repeating that fight. No point with just three covers if that's how the stun operates.

    3-2-2 L147 Jean, not gonna happen.

    My first attempt gave me all the luck I was gonna get. Easily denied red, quick green, able to fire off purple after Control Shift, but a late-game Grevity Warp took most of my HP. I was one turn away from firing off green and purple for the win (having just gotten enough for the green) and match damage took my last 600HP.

    None of the 4-5 attempts after that were even close. Too many hit points, not enough covers to do damage fast enough.

    Yep, this is a lost cause for me.

    Kudos to the lucky with fewer covers than me who pulled it off. I have no idea how you puzzled it. My 2/1/3 can't get it done.

    Jean has 2 green covers...

    brings my total for these to 1 for however many. (prof-x)

    Does this node actually help people that need it? it seems like the only way you're beating it, most of the time is if you already have these characters maxed. in which case, the token you get is also going to be for a character you probably already have maxed.

    maybe by the time i don't need this node to improve my roster, they'll change how this works...

    0/1/3 Jean. I don't think I'll clear it, but I'll give it a couple shots if I'm bored. May save green for when it's maxed, but no purple is going to sting when/if Moonstone steals my stuff.

    I debated whether to try this one or not, but got pulled into it and gave it a go with my 1/1/4 JG. Built up on green AP before the match and all match dmg, and had a very favorable board with mostly green. Surprisingly won on my first try. Moonstone only got off her purple move once, and nothing else the entire match. Just used JG's green once, which thankfully made 2 strike tiles and an attack tile. That was more than enough. Got a Cyclops redflag.png that I could actually use.

    My Jean is capped at 2/2/3. I thought the Jean Grey DDQ was out-of-reach but that was mostly based on how the AP was flowing. In my first two attempts, I was not able to get enough AP to launch a Green before Moonstone had enough Black to immediately steal them. (twice in each attempt.)

    Once I had some better luck in that regard, I was able to pull out a win via lots of match damage boost, but even then I was one turn away from eating a Photon Blast that would KO me. Token became my first Red for Red Hulk, putting him at 1/2/2.

    My Mr. Fantastic is at 2/4/0, which will make that one an interesting fight.

    I wiped on the first try with 5/3/5 lvl 230 Jean, because I was all "lolz this is my best character I can just halfass it" and then got photon blasted all to hell.

    Got it on the 2nd fairly easily - deny red and don't fire green unless she can't fire Control Shift or you have enough purple to wipe out the tiles.

    Didn't open the token yet - I'm hoarding for a while.

    Beat it on the first try with level 270 4/4/5 unboosted. For pretty low on health because she fired red twice.

    Got an X-23 out of it, so I'm happy.

    Maybe I don't know how to play this game correctly. Tried 8 times with my level 145 3-2-2 Jean. Boosted +2 green, +2 all colors, and 100% match damage. Even trying to deny red, I was only able to get her down to 7k health at best. Moonstone always fires gravity warp before I have enough green (can't match green, since I'm denying red constantly). And then she eventually gets enough red from random cascades and match 4 drops to KO me. Even when I do cast green, she casts control shift, and then I fire pink. That takes off maybe 2k from her health at best? I'd have to do that 3 or 4 times. These match ups do not help anybody trying to transition to 4 stars.

    I won on the 4th try because I finally decided to use +100% match damage. My JG is 5/3/3 so I won when I fired off 2 greens and 2 purples. She got me with a purple of her own, but that was it.

    Another XFW cover. Sigh.

    I hear ya. I've dropped way too many resources into trying to win this with my 2/2/3 147 Jean. The closest I got was dropping moonstone to under 4k.
