Fisk with two Dons. Don's generate yellow, black, and turn out TONS of countdown tiles. Sure makes it easy for Fisk to finger-poke a countdown tile every two turns.

Why D3? Why do you do this EVERY PVE?

    I was getting poked on the second or third turn of the match quite frequently. and then, almost every turn thereafter, depending on if the AI decided to have the Dons spend the AP.

    this is not hyperbole, this is legitimately how it went down.

    I hate goon feeder nodes. it's an absolute travesty in this game.

    The Book of the Vishanti Nova essential isn't any more fun. Doom with feeders = spams his blue and black constantly. The only respite is that Doombots have tiny health pools compared to Dons.

    Not sure what your scaling is like but 3* IM and Cap got the job done for me.
    Do a R/Y boost and a +1 to all, one yellow match for recharge, then use caps blue and red to beat down Kingpin.
    Again depending on your scaling it might not be viable but I would guess there is a better alternative in your roster if you have higher scaling.

    Even with this....that node still sucks

    Level 229 after 2 clears. All 3 have over 10K health.

    I will admit I was concerned about this node but my championed OML made this node fairly easy. Fisk's black did not do so much damage that OML could not heal and Nova is a beast when you can keep sending OML airborn.

    I true healer is defiantly needed for this node

    Bring stuns. Two blue matches can set up iceman or spiderman to stun Fisk and hopefully make the Dons spend the AP instead.

    Haven't done this one yet, but I'll probably go OML/Nova/Xpool. Let that finger fly!

    I mean not to be rude but saying that you countered a challenge with one of the strongest characters in game, champed isn't exactly repeatable advice...

    I used Peggy and Cho and took out Kingpin first. Neither fully covered. Peggy's yellow delays him long enough for Cho to punch him out. Once Kingpin is gone, the bosses are at Cho's mercy. I can forget about clears 5+ though. Everything past the timer reset is pure crazy scaling and a waste of health packs.

    Sounds like having a champed Dr. Strange would be handy...

    I used Cho and Kamala with my 1-cover Nova, and swept through four clears fairly easily. Cho's max green can clear out the Summon Demons pretty effectively.

    Star lord was my hero. Nova's red for 4 AP to keep juggling KP was fantastic.

    Having around $10,000 is handy as well. I could stop playing this game and buy myself a boat?

    KDN put up a video, only cost him like $2k. Seems like a deal to me... icon_rolleyes.gif

    I beat it with Starlord and Iceman but if you don't have them then there's plenty of options.

    IM 40 or Ragnarok and two star Storm, Captain Marvel (if she tanks over Nova) or Hulk and Kamala, the ever reliable Patch and Loki probably work as well; She Hulk, Elektra, Orginal Black Widow, Quake, Thing, Hood, I could go on!

    Either you stun Kingpin or Hulk/Marvel bomb your way to victory. It's not that difficult is it?

    I found this node easy, (My roster isn't all that strong so it's only level 236 if I play a fifth time)

    I'm not saying I had much trouble with it in the scheme of things, just that the essential nodes are no fun in particular for the other subs either. 4Thor/IM40 plus Nova powered through it just fine.

    There are plenty of teams that can beat this node, if you get lucky. Or, you get a board where all you're getting is solitary match 3's in an off colour for a few turns and suddenly the board is flooded with dozens of countdown tiles. It's definitely a 'get lucky before turn 5 or retreat' type node in 3 star.png land, and those are never fun.

    I wonder if we get a gorgon or wolverine fed node in the ninja sub. Maybe d3 will be surprise us with a Elektra or daredevil and feeder node
