Countdown tile

Unknown

So who are you using for countdown tile control besides obw.
Im having a hard time this pve with the goons spamming tiles on every freaking corner.

Captain America and Classic Magneto can both overwrite countdown tiles.

OBW is definitely the best given that she can also steal AP to prevent new countdowns. I also use peeps like C Storm with 5 covers in green so she can just board wipe, and either hit the tiles you need or hope to get a better board layout.

The other thing to think on is that the tiles you're really hating this time around are typically green. The Lieutenant's yellow is generally safe (if annoying) to ignore, as is his purple. Which leaves snipers, rockets and pyros. So peeps like Thor, BWGS, and Rags who add more green to the board are also a good way to go. And there's the trick with snipers that they'll never have more than 1 countdown on the board at a time, which lets you really manage them well.

There are a lot of ways to deal with CD tiles as some have already mentioned.

Captain America - 5 in blue/red
Classic Magneto - Blue overwrites any tile
MN Magneto - Lots of board shakeup and purple can form shapes or aim a 4 in the a row
Moonstone - Black steals a CD tile. Expensive and can't choose which tile. Purple has a chance of swapping it
Classic Hawkeye - well placed crit tile or blow up a row with his red
Storm - both modern and classic green has a good chance to the tile, mStorm red provides some board shakeup
Juggernaught - green breaks tiles
Thor/Ragnorok/Grey Suit Black Widow - creates green
Original Black Widow - raises CD tile countdown
Modern BW/Spiderman - Anyone with a stun also prevents the CD from ticking down
Desert Environment - Creates greens and has chance of overwriting tiles
Bagman - All he does it CD tile management
Inivisible Woman - Force bubble the tiles

So there's a lot of ways to deal with it and some of those are on common 1* characters.

I use OBW and M Storm for goon fights. It is extremely rare that the goons get anything off between those two. Storm's red can make the board easy to manage and build environment tiles so I often get the "super environment" attack off against the third goon. OBW's blue obviously buys time as does her purple as stealing goon AP means they delay getting new tiles out and most goons provide green or blue giving choice AP back to OBW or Storm. Stunners like MBW can buy you time, too. It can be a harder choice if you are fighting one or two goons with a "real" enemy. At that point I may move into a different combo like Magneto Now plus C Storm or Spidey. His purple feeds their blue and his red is good for board clears and generating AP plus it does pretty good damage. His blue also clears the board but the damage is small and doesn't generate AP. Hulk and Punisher green attacks also clear bits of the board which can be useful.

Spider-Man. Until the nerf bat hits, I'm squeezing every last web out of him.
