Thanks for the posts. Very helpful in figuring out what teams to use.

Dribbler

My first attempt with my highest lvl team and my usual team for DDQ
229 4/3/4
168 2/3/3

and the lvl 70

I didn't even take down a single bad guy before my team got wiped.

Think I might try again with A or

Dribbler

Second attempt went better than first, got to third round of first node.
Turn one Mystique Masterwork kills off my hood.
Second turn Mystique Masquerade/Masterwork, kills off my near full health X force.

attempt three coming later.
I may beat the first node in the next three weeks.

what the tinykitty?
what levels are your enemies in that first node?

completed it yesterday and it was fairly easy - 4 waves, lvl 52-57(!)
my roster is softcapped at 104

i wonder which levels you see with a 229, a 168 and surely some 166

--cfi--

Started with LDaken, IF, Cage and it looked like an easy walkthrough, but the Hulks stopped them in the last round of node 3. I took SWitch, Hood, Blade instead and after SWitch stunned her first opponent it was easy, very easy. Now, let's see who does the last nodes...

Grantilis

Has anyone else noticed that the Galactus fight had changed in this event? He used to generate AP in all colors, now he only builds black.

BlackSheep101

It's been noticed, commented on, and will be fixed by this evening's patch I think.

djpt05

Ran through the hulk and team up node after that with Cage, SWitch and LCap. 3 different options to stun and good damage over time. Didn't get touched!

Philly79

120 Patch, 100 Daredevil, 120 Loki all cover maxed, made short work of Hulk and Co....

Here are the scaling for a level 39 roster (Low level):

Definitely not in Kansas: 34-40
H.A.M.M.E.R. on Trial: 53-54
Look-Alike Contest: 132-149
Righteous Rivalry: 55-70
Om-nom-athon: 165

Definitely not in Kansas I brought along LCap and OBW with Loaner CHulk. Build up blue first then red and get LCap's combo rolling. Use CHulk's green once LCap's blue countdown is finished for maximum damage.

For Look-Alike Contest I used LCap, Hood and OBW (All chars fully covered). Just focus on getting blues then reds to get LCap's combo rolling, and with double AP stealers the Hulks won't be able to get any abilities off. I would even go as far as let the Hulks match some blues/reds for OBW to steal as your purple will be maxed due to 90% stun rate on the Hulks.

Righteous Rivalry I used the same team as above, use LCap's red/blue to remove any countdowns and always take out the hero first in all waves. Feel free to let the enemy Green AP build up as all enemy heroes don't have Green abilities. Standard rules apply when dealing with waves, kill the board movers first then stock up on AP's for the next wave.

Om-nom-athon I took the easy way out and Whale'd it Others will have to chime in on a strategy here for low levels. Each of Galactus' countdowns do over 600 damage, which means my level 39 heroes can't take more than 3-4 hits. Not to mention dealing 13k damage to Galactus in that limited amount of time.

Attempt three,
229 Xforce,
166 Daredevil
70 Hulk

Lost again, my quickest fail actually, got destroyed.

They are lvl 136-140

I cannot win.

rowdster

Used daredevil, patch, loki, and got through it all first try, dd to stun.

IF/sw took two tries on galactus. Let purple build up to 15 or 20, getting as much black along the way and IF punch him out.

For 2*s, I was able to squeak through with OBW and some lucky Ms. Marvel leading to team-ups, but at level 39, I dunno! Cho can't do everything.

And *that's* why I love this forum. I had been wondering what team to take into "Om-nom-athon" and I hadn't even considered the / pairing. So, teaming those two characters with Amadeus, boosting +2 on blue/purple AP and +2 on all AP, a decent board...

Thanks, ubi21, you just got me my first cover.

Here's the scaling I had to deal with. My roster tops out at level 270 (a one-cover ) with my highest level *usable* character being a level 220 :

Definitely Not In Kansas: Level 122-138
H.A.M.M.E.R. On Trial: Level 185-186
Look-Alike Contest: Level 395
Righteous Rivalry: Level 190-191
Om-nom-athon: Level 165

mine matched dan's almost exactly my first node was higher with a 136-140 range - rest were exactly the same. roster in my sig, but I have 2x255 and 2x240, rest are 166ish and down. never used any of my higher characters though - mostly cap, hood, witch and then fistclops and marvel/torch (140 marvel triggers her passive ) for galactus.

It should be possible to get 1+1 Command Points from Galactus, right?

I've beaten him 10+ times now, only to get the two meager ISO rewards and, of course, the lovely 20 or so generic ISO every other time. Anyone know the chance of the CP drops? Am I just unlucky?

Yes. RNGesus hates you. Sorry man. I'm in the same boat.

Yep this forum is great. With so many heroes, it's very easy to miss a good team combo.

I don't have a usable but I was still able to pull off 4 matches after AP boosting. The cascades from Galactus' abilities can help you with this. Just bring along your highest health heroes and remember to have take a hit from time to time so his Life of the Party doesn't go off unexpectedly.

Most of my 3*s are fully covered (I have all of them). The ones that aren't usable are the newer 3*s like , , , , , etc. So while I do have options, tanking is not one of them lol. That being said, those that are around level 40 will most likely not have a strong roster like mine so a strategy with 2*s is likely more helpful for others. Anyways, thanks for your tips.
