Any chance of winning this with a 2-2-1 Thing?

CT1888

I did it last time with a 94 1/1/2 Thing... Will see if I can dig out the tactics I used

Nabistay

His yellow will be worthless, correct?

i have a 2/3/2, and he might as well be 2/0/2 for all that I have leveled him.

He can get to level 147 though. Do I have a chance?

Tatercat

This will be my first time really trying this Crash as I never had the covers for him until now. From looking at the previous threads, my lvl 185, 5/3/3 should be okay now.

And here's the best pieces of advice I could find from the 1st run of this Crash :

Per Peter's thread, the lowest level Thing to win was 1/1/2 @ level 94.

My Thing is 5/5/2, but I'm wary of thinking that this fight will be a cakewalk -- Ben's powers are rather expensive.

That was mine

It took 4 tries using +100% all, +50%r/y, +2r/y. Lots or Red and black denial, Green control to stop him ever getting his power out then making more green matches, use red strategically to stun him when you are in a fork that he could get a useful colour to him, save green for big hits at the end or to try for board shake if he gets black out. Deny red. Deny red. Deny red.

Not possible for my lvl 131 2/1/3 Thing.... Board is always horrible and HT hits hard.

First try with a 5/3/2 thing.

I got a Red off on the third turn and then got in a lot of trouble because Torch had 14 green AP. Fortunately he double tapped flame jet and a a board set let me match the two tiles away. I then got a green and another red off.

Two tries with 2/3/1, Level 130 Thing; the first was to see whether having half of his covers in a useless (in a solo fight!) passive was going to limit his ability to do enough damage to have a real shot at this.

The second try, I used 5x20% match damage, +2 R/Y, +2 all, and focused on red denial. Also got a lucky board which gave ME all the red and him NONE of the red.

Champion Thing, expected little difficulty. Still lost the first attention, but got him on the second try with very little hit points left.
Got from the legendary token, another champion level there.

Mmm. Did the Big Enchilada before opening my token.

5* Cap

I was hoping for 5* Hulk since one of my tacos yielded enough HP to open up another roster slot, but Cap was my second choice. I'm happy.

TheRealJRad

Took 6 tries, but got him with my 2/2/3 @ 147. Tile drops were doing their best to keep him in the game, but finally downed him with a lucky one of my own.

3 tries with my 1/2/3 100 Thing. +100% all, +2 all, +2r/y. 3 health left at the end

Jeez, even a champed Thing has trouble with this match up? I wish they'd tune these fights a little better.

Anyway, my lvl 120 4/3/5 took 4 tries. Last 3 I boosted b/g and all AP and 50 match damage. Won with under 200 health, and only because I boosted match damage.

I let my son open the token.

P.S. please add Banner's icon, thx!

Cousin Simpson

Two tries with 5/5/2 152, +2 all, +2 g/b, +2 r/y. First time, he got an Inferno out, and I only managed to clear half of the attack tiles, plus he got at least one Fireball off on me while I only got one Clobber off. Second time, I was proud of myself for denying both red and black (he fired a Flame Jet with 6 green AP, tee hee), but then after one of my matches, the board re-shuffled and gave him a mini-cascade that gave him enough red to do real damage against me. Thankfully, I'd already amassed enough red to Clobber him twice and Yancy him once, which was enough to down him.

Got a Black Banner!

This is going to be pass from me 3/2/0 lvl 90...

Razamataz

Forth try with 242 lvl 168 and beat him to get 1000 really wish they would make legendary rainbow colour getting fed up of useless 6th covers when need other colours

TBH I haven't rostered Banner yet -- I'm waiting for an explanation on 5* scaling from D3!
