Good gravy, what a shitpile of usable characters. Way to build enthusiasm for the anniversary, D3.

I think I'm going to miss Squirrel Girl in sub 2. I finally champed Psylocke today with her progression reward, and hoo boy did I find a fun team...

Squirrel Girl, Psylocke, and Scarlet Witch. I did the 3* required node last, and those three shredded Daken, Moonie, and Yelena. Some of the powers are meh, but it's full rainbow, and it's actually a fast team. SG adds the fun of a dual purple option to nuke targets since the DAs generate so many special tiles, and her green double taps on Psylocke's red strikes.

It took less than 10 minutes to clear that node 4 times, and I didn't use a single health pack. The other hard nodes started eating a health pack on at least one character every time I played them. That synergy is pretty surprising, but it was fun!

Iron Fist is more than adequate as a replacement for Squirrel Girl IMO... I wonder if they'll do Kamala Khan in the last sub?

This may be a bit much to ask, but if there's a Heroic event going on, where our rosters are already dramatically limited, can we *please* not have nodes using one of our required characters? Either Sentry or Daken are in nearly half of the nodes in this fight, and they're two of the only characters we can use in the event.

Well, this is Dark Avengers heroic, but yes, i see the point. What interests me more - if there will be time when we will be unable to use essential on his/her node because he/she is enemy in that node.

4* Captain Falcon, 3* Deadpool and Scarlet Witch are really blitzing the goon nodes for me. Typically the mafia ones in particular are much harder than normal on heroics due to the random character availability. Also, aswas said earlier, I do miss Squirrel Girl, surprisingly...

Sadly, i have only one for Cap Falcon, one for Deadpool and 0/1/2 Switch. But it still doable with other heroes i have. And i miss Squirrel too, her model is not to my liking(those brows, ugh...), but animation of her just hillarious.

Using this team too, as well as Daken/Switch.

Abosolutely evil on the second sub is Flaptain/Daken/Fist (when daken isn't tagged out).Shreds through everything.

Smudge's team of the day for sub 2: Iron Fist, 3* Daken, Psylocke.

Strikes abound! Attack tiles! Flying Fist! Many heals!

CMags/SWitch/Star-Lord was pretty fun too.

I swear to god if unstoppable crash worked for me the way it works for the game controlled opponents, I wouldn't need any other characters besides juggernaut.

Tinykitty cascades into multiple match 5's that do more damage than his stupid headbutt on a regular basis are really beginning to get irritating...
