    when one of the available heroes is..another Black Widow. great, more heroes to use!..not.

    I like to keep GSBW healthy for harder nodes and use OBW with Quicksilver (who doesn't pair that well with GSBW) in easier ones.

    3rd sub Re-inforcements:

    star.pngstar.pngstar.pngicon_hulk.png
    star.pngstar.pngicon_humantorch.png
    star.pngicon_hawkeye.png

    Hulk is nice to generate greenflag.png for JG and Storm, and some others. I would have liked more characters with a stun to deal with icon_carnage.png , since Storm might not make it that long to fire her blueflag.png , but I got the progression reward in my first clear, so I can take it easy on this.

    Disappointing note I discovered on Penance Stare, I was hoping to use it to quickly take Carnage out of the picture, but eattack.png tile damage doesn't count as damage from that character apparently so unless he fired his redflag.png or greenflag.png , it only had match damage to go from. Was able to nuke Doc Ock and some Muscle with it though.

    Oh, thanks MPQ for giving me critical boosts on my probably only pass at the Odd Trio node. I really needed those.

    Wait until the 3rd sub, when its against Carnage & Muscle x2. At least they don't feed him redflag.png but good luck downing one of them before a AOE goes off.

    How about making 3rd sub a 48h event so we all can enjoy these challenging and fun nodes even more...

    glad I don't have to place well here. not sure i'll be pushing for the cp. mainly just farming and will see where it gets me. I was right, jean/xf/cap was my main team. not great. jean and cap are strong, but not fast and the few times I got SS off, it was on purple, so that wasn't great. grinding this well will require some health packs.
    wow, nobody must be playing this. entered a stale slice in the 800s. with pvp and LRs going I only got to farm the cp and 500s/250s out (still took 6 and 7 on most) and am easily t50. daken is really annoying on the top 3 nodes on sub 2. you have to save ap to make sure you get him down and that just opens up attacks from everyone out there.

    I gotta say, it was immensely satisfying to have Marvel tank those cheap Chemical Reactions hits (2 or 3 did the trick) and then one shot his annoying behind with Penance Stare. GR with IF may become my go to guys for Daken nodes after this.

    I am taking the hint from the devs... they want me to quit playing their stupid game.

    I wanted to do well this PVE, but remembered that the last sub is absolutely horrid. Guess Nova'll have to wait longer before he's covered.

    icon_nova.png? icon_miles.png was the top 10 reward...

    This node has given me post traumatic stress syndrome I swear. Frustratingly difficult one to clear.

    It's labeled as "Trivial".
    Can we sue for false advertising?

    that was my first pve node wipe in quite a while. they were only in the 180s and I had jean at 360 and marvel at 210. last muscle was down to 240 health. could not find purple for jean or black for marvel anywhere. ran again and got purple early and didn't take much damage at all. frustrating game.

    I ended up using JG + Hulk for all those essential nodes, it worked quite nice for those nodes . Hulk had the green AP flowing for Jean to use, at the expense of health packs unfortunately. (especially when it wouldn't give up the CP until the 7th pass)
