    I was pretty successful with Mohawk (5/5/3), KK (5/5/3) and 4*-Cyke. Even though my Cyke is far away from being a champion (2/3/3; level 168) it has worked perfectly for me in round 6 (2 tries, 2 wins). You have to gather greentile.png & purpletile.png AP (using +1 AP for all-boost definitely helps) as soon as possible before OML downs you with his cheap green or his match damage. Then use Mo`s green to generate AP for KK`s purple and Cyke`s red and blue (KK`s passive heals you meanwhile). After that use your AP wisely to cause cascades and gather more AP. If you`re doing well, Pheonix and Silver Surver won`t have a turn against you.

    I will tell you later if that strategy also works in round 7!

    Update: It has worked too! But you have to be lucky that Hulk doesn't have a cascade which downs you immediately. To be on the safe side, use also +1 G/B and +1 B/P boost.

    Round 4 (and round 5 i think)
    I used Hulk (5/3/5) Mohawk storm (5/5/3) and Kamala (5/5/3)

    Only use 3 powers
    - Storm's green and yellow
    - Kamala's purple

    My KK is only at 3/3/1 so I used GSBW instead, whose purple generates green in a different way.
    Although I still didn't get past OML it's taken me much further than before, so thanks!

    But I'm curious why not use Storm black for extra damage?

    I gave this a shot in round 7 and it worked well. It was still all about board shakeup, using cyke's abilities to get me more greentile.png & purpletile.png . Last two bosses never got a turn. I kept thinking that I would use cyke's yellowflag.png then TU tiles to get green, but storm's board shake was better for prolonging my turn. It took a while, and my cyclops is more leveled than the original poster's (lvl 188) but it was nice to have a more stable option in round 7.

    I'm only starting to champ my 3* and my 4* are not usable with 1-3 covers, so it was Doom/Hulk/Cyclops team that win 4 rounds for me. And 2 out of 3 bosses in 5, but OML just obliterates them, so i called it a day and quit.

    - Keep your green AP at 10 and above at all times if possible
    - Flood the board with green (while keeping purple untouched) using Kamala or make green matches
    - DO NOT overwrite purple with green using Kamala
    - use Storm's green to grab green and purple
    - use storm's yellow to clear TU tiles before you use her green (if possible). This helps to minimise the chances of you collecting TU tiles when you use her green.
    - use Hulk to tank if needed to generate green
    - grab whatever match 5s you can get

    It's a slow and steady battle (think 10min or more) so dont rush through it or you'll make mistakes.

    Basically just copied and paste the above text from another thread icon_e_smile.gif
    At this point of round 4/5, this team is pretty reliable and should be feasible for players who mainly have a champed 3* roster. Not sure how this team will do in later rounds though. Unfortunately for me, my Mostorm is higher level than Hulk so she tanks more than Hulk

    I've already been using this team, but this made it more clear to me how to, and has increased my success rate. I was going for making crit tiles with KK's purple more than raw generating green AP, and occasionally overwriting purple. Changing those habits has helped immensely icon_e_biggrin.gif
