Carnage Team suggestions

bbigler

We have 2 more days of required Carnage in PvE (unless you've quit already), so I thought we could suggest Carnage teams that don't eat all your health packs.

Suggestions:
- Luke Cage & Antman to steal 3 enemy attack tiles every turn, plus protection (I like this one)
- OML, Patch, Daken, X23 to just heal away the damage
- Patch & Loki to lay down strong strike and protect tiles
- Dr Strange, Invisible Woman, StarLord, Moonstone to cover up/steal 3 enemy attack tiles per ability
- Switch & Gwenpool to clear all enemy attack tiles per 9 purple AP - code 237
- Switch & Jean Grey to remove 6 enemy attack tiles and team damage per 10 purple AP
- Dr Octopus: manipulation ability to destroy swapped enemy attack tiles, plus bonus when matching them
- Use 5*s from your roster as meat shields and don't bother healing them
- StarLord & Cyclops to produce lots of Red and fire off Symbiote Scythes repeatedly until everyone is a smoking pile of ash (1 time use)

Stax the Foyer

Just run him with the characters that you hate the most, and go nuts with his red.

Can't wait for Medusa.

Personally, OML, X23. No health packs used

VizMantis

Perhaps not valid in general, but for this pve, boosted x23 and boosted daken have been unbeatable partners for carnage. Carnage is never in front and x23/daken heal away all the self-damage Carnage dishes out. I've been finishing all 6 clears of the Carnage essential with full health most of the time.

smoking piles of ash, LOL

I love that first idea, will have to check it out next time I boot up the app. Think my Luke Cage isn't champed yet, but he has 5 covers in Red so might still work. I've been using meat shield 5*'s, and also Switch + Strange because I wanted to nuke things fast before the attack tiles did any significant damage.

I haven't tried it cause my Carnage is 1/1/1 L70, but I always though Ant Man and Doc Ock would be good. Ant man to steal and add even more strikes. Doc ock to add more on matches and possible use his manipulation if you get a surplus of blue.

or for those whose OML is **** Daken/X-23 or Daken /Patch
basically characters who self heal

Mr F (don't laugh) and Professor X.

Carnage was my first Champed 4*, so finding characters that can just hang with him has been my MPQ mission for about a year now. With Daken and X-23 boosted, I've completed that goal. Ironically, I've never used fewer health packs per clear than in this PvE.

My 4* Luke Cage isn't quite ready for the big leagues, but he's destined to be on my Carnage A-team. Your team is one that I want desperately.

Here's a fun Goon killer variation on your team that wastes no health packs:
4* | | # protect + attack + damage + healing each time a countdown tile appears.

This one is just kinda hilarious that it works at all:

I quit after getting the Carnage cover, but to earn it I used OML/Daken to mitigate the damage. It worked - I think I only used 3 health packs to get to the 4* cover. Daken would occasionally need a breather - adjust his healing to max and play a trivial node, then hop back in.

I considered Doc Ock, but didn't get around to it.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have well-covered true healers in this event. It must be brutal trying to clear that essential.

This is the team that I've been running for the entire event. Helps my antman is champed, but you do have to give them time to heal, which is okay if you just cycle the node on your run through.

I don't have many viable 4 stars, so I was using 3 Star Cage and Falcon. Carnage is the only 4* I have 13 covers on (3/5/5), but he's only leveled to 166.

Luke Cage would mitigate the match damage and a little of the attack tiles. Falcon would work to clear the enemy tiles a little and boost my own. Would fire Falcon's purple if I needed a little more protection or just before using Carnage's green, which would put enough special tiles out to nearly down a full health enemy. By that point I'd also have enough black to double Cages power or enough yellow to use that one. Was enough damage to finish off the enemies that had been bled down.

Wasn't perfect, but would get me through 4 clears before needing a health pack. I usually stop after getting the CP anyway.

GrimSkald

I'm extremely solid 4* player with an 8-cover OML (4/2/2.) I've been playing OML/Carnage/Ant-man a lot. Ant-Man is sometimes on the receiving end of a lot of damage, but Carnage rarely is, and OML heals. It works pretty well, and I've seen upwards of 10K damage in strikes per turn to the enemy.

Can be a bit frustrating to get going, though.

sambrookjm

I've been using X-23 and Daken with Carnage 100% of the time, since my OML is missing the critical yellow cover. As an added bonus, X-23 and Daken are both high enough that they tank ALL the tiles, so Carnage only takes damage from AOE or when one of the other guys is stunned.

Who needs health packs?

I too have found Mr. F a good partner for Carnage as his heal seems to go off a lot with Carnage for a buddy (or foe). Been using Antman as my 3rd though for the full rainbow plus as has been stated above his Blue midigates the opposing tiles.

Played around with Moonstone as a partner as well, but her Purple starts getting buried and too hard to predict quickly (though it's actually easier with fewer covers than more.)

Luke Cage and Daken is one of the options. Or perhaps Falcon and Luke Cage. Or Ant-man and Luke Cage.

Medusa - Ant-Man - Carnage.

Medusa vs. Carnage (+bullseye) in loaner node today took a ridiculous amount of time. If Carnage animations weren't fixed, this would be the best defensive team of all time...based purely on how long the animation time would increase the match time.

Time to fix Medusa animations already!!!

wanna 45 min match? medusa/carnage/starlord. make move, go do something else for a while. come back. make move. go do something... rinse/repeat

OneLastGambit

Best carnage team is by far the undying...

X23 with 553 build
Mr F 544 build
Carnage

Keep carnage in the background and laugh as everything heals either x23 or mr f... You can play this team for an infinite time span and still finish with full health.
