What's your strategy? Did you use any boosts?

Thor ( Thunder strike ) feed green AP to M.Storm. From start i use red if there much elements, after that i collect green\purple\yellow

in old patch i use 3 x boosts ( 2 color ). in new patch almost same

My main team now is Spidey 99 4/5/4, Patch 115 4/4/5, Punisher 95 5/5/3. Between spidey stun lock, Patch green and Punisher black I usually finish all fight without problems, but with this fight I don't have time to build my strategy.

Your Spidey has a lvl 5 stunlock, I'm not even sure what could cause problems for you, if not some bad bad luck. Anyway it's a good thing to take out Ares/Jugg first, while stunning the other, whoever gets close to a Headbutt/Onslaught/Sunder first. And don't let Moonstone get 11 red. (17 black is laughable, you should be able to deny this, purple is no problem as long as there are some special tiles of yours, should be easy to always have special tiles with Patch/Punisher/Spidey). Since you need green, yellow, red and black yourself which they also need, grab these colors and if you can, disrupt other possible matches so that the enemy has to take a dead/least useful color, e.g. purple, environment. And blue you need yourself, too. But be careful with them having enough env. AP, better stun if you got any blue.
Also I'm not sure why you would need Punisher here, Retribution? You may want to try ditching either Punisher or Patch and taking any AP generator for Spidey's stunlock such as Magneto MN, mStorm.

The problem is that I don't have enough time to stunlock at least Ares and Jug. I have tried with Magneto MN but I coudln't generate engough blues before they killed my spidey (you need at least 8-10 APs to stun lock two team members, more If you want to stun lock all the team). Maybe I am waiting two much before I start using Spidey blue. One of my problems is that Spidey is always the first to die beacuse blue and pink are his colors (my Magneto MN is just level 20). I will try with mStorm but she is 20 so I hope she survives long enough

Maybe I will try also with IM40 instead of Punisher, so I can use him as a battery. Or even with Spidey, Magneto and IM40 (two batteries and Spidey).

Maybe it is just that I have very bad luck...

You must be playing wrong. I use exactly the team - Punisher, SpiderMan and MN Magneto. I am able to beat every fight. Ye sure they are hard and i have to plan a lot of moves ahead but they are doable. I always go for Ares first and try to kill him. Collect Purple on high priority followed by Blue. Once you have 9 Purple and around 6 blue you cant really lose this fight. 9 Purple can give you up to 10-12 blue per use.

I just did it in the last mission, and It was more or less easy (in my case I did it with Spidey, Magnet MN and Patch) so forget everything.

I suposse the other times I lost because I didn' have enough blues or pink in the initial board becuase I have always used the same tactic as you do...

Juggernaut can go die in a fire! I hate that fight so much. Even with a 5 blue spidey I'm getting ripped.

+1 to the hate for juggs v.v

Hes so.. annoying v.v

Wow... Patch Healing so op... manage survive ares green skill for the 1st minutes... then after heal back to full health receive another headbutt from jugg... almost die and luckily clear the game without any casualties... talk about luck XD

Unknown

Probably will not do any more hard bracket matches but I did clear that one thanks to a starved board and a 115 Hood. The only character that got off a skill was Moonstone with one Gravity Warp moving a tile and a Photon Blast for 2.5k. 141 Patch 115 Punisher.

Unknown

Who can : Hood/Spidey/Punsiher I use the team for each mission. it is easy and it is cozy. Blue/blue and stun the opponent if he wants to use a skill. after the opponent has many apps, it will be sucked empty and the rest makes punsiher Aps for free

Unknown

This makes the brackets much easier for me. I went to bed first in main and both subs. Woke up having slipped only a little because nobody can do the missions easily. But I can so I'll be able to pace myself for 1st

yep. JUGGS is a beast. Dude has more health than my entire team combined. Fights definitely come to a grind when trying to kill 45k of total health each time.

i was like 10 k difference in point between me and the 10th place... now i am free tonight i just grind through the sub mission and now i stumble in #5
It seen my bracket every1 seen to be progress very slowly... maybe due to the difficulty level in both Jugg and Ares .... i think i might have a chance to catch up the leader within the next 5 days since there is only 5k points difference now... hehe

Imagine the anger in this forum if they rolled out the Spidey nerf with the R48 patch.

I don't always get lucky but when I do...
Starting board, I have a 5-of-a-kind of the most needed color, can't believe my luck.


A couple of matches, another free turn, I think I got this already.


Yep smooth sailing from now on.


Did use +3 green/black but only because I had them dropped. Will try my luck more, since I have no stockpiles left I don't aim for Black Panther tryhardedly but it's nice to enjoy Spidey's pre-nerf abilities. It's fun while it lasts.

I wish the iPad version would look like that when I play in landscape mode. I hate having to swipe to bring in the enemy AP levels, it makes it easier to lose track of it and I often end up eating a special attack simply because I didn't know they had enough AP to use it.

Wow, I really want the ability to link my android device with steam now. That looks awesome.

I agree 10000%

PC view is so much cooler. I don't understand why they don't make this game viewable in landscape. Others have asked it.

These missions are hardly 100% reliable given Juggernaut can kill almost anyone with 6 red. No matter what team you're using there's still a relatively vulnerable window when you're trying to collect enough blue/green/purple/whatever to feed into your main combo.

In general in these fights, your opponent can't have red/green/blue (if they have blue you don't have blue and you can't do anything useful without stuns most of the time). If they manage to get one of those 3 colors, you will probably lose. You simply can't take more than one Headbutt or Onslaught before people start dying.

1 for that fight you need a battery that focuses on blue so mn mag is perfect for the roll and spidey at max stun plus the third needs to be a bit bulkie so you can eat one or two crashes from jugg.

2 get purple as fast as you can and if you can not then get blue.

3 if the enemy get up to 5-6 green stun ares so jugg uses the crash instead as it does less damage plus clears up the board a bit

4 with enough purple try to figure out how to best maximise the placement of the blue pieces.

5 then just stun them when they get close to firing of attacks and keep collecting purple to make blues.

rinse repeat until dead i use patch 105 spidey 84 mnmag 24 for this and yes it works (note that at that level even boosted maggy can eat a crash though you do not want him hit again) and if it happens that you cant avoid an attack mn mag is the sacrificial lamb as spidy and the dps is neccesary to beat it with spidy being the most important

Hadn't seen anyone talking about this, but I have to say that 1 day subs is a massive improvement over that 2 1/2 day stuff. 2 passes has been more than sufficient each time to place highly in both, and it represents a massive increase in overall token grabs for the full event. Pleased with the structure/rewards so far.

Hm busy at work so had to play a bit over the lunch break. Wonder if I started my push too early for the first bracket. I keep dropping a bit and despite being first overall I'm actually getting some increased rubberbanding at times. I'm also only in first by about 600 points in the "hard" bracket.
