Beating up Galactus?

What teams are people using against Galactus? I am finding JG, Switch, and Vision to be a good combo. Switch as a purple battery for JG, who can eliminate those pesky countdown tiles, and if you can keep Vision Heavy, the extra match damage wears Big G down fast. I am curious what others are using (especially if no viable 5*s are available).

    I've used Charlie's Angels every single time ( currently we are on level 5) and have yet to lose a match. Championed Switch and GSBW w/ 5/5/2 lvl 150 PX. The Cascade Kings do well also if you are able to get your AP quickly.

    IM40, LCap and QS for me. Gather yellow to fire recharge asap, Cap can't stun but he can still overwrite tiles and do decent damage and then QS adds a little extra board control and damage.

    Stormfinite makes it easier.

    Basically - Storm (set black to 3), KK and Hulk (set their green's to 3).

    Use hulk to tank, KK purple to generate green and her passive heals. Storm - fire her green and yellow. But not her black as it makes using KK's purple harder.

    You might have to heal hulk afterwards, but his anger when he is hit gens more green.

    Upshot is Storm's green helps wipe out Galactus' special and countdown tiles. After you get it going he won't have many turns left.

    A team with some nice passive powers that damage, and put 4* Blade in the mix, and Galactus goes down real, real fast. Me, I used Iron Fist + TA Hulk + 4* Blade. Blade is a beast, definitely a top ten 4* in my opinion, though black power could have been better. I'm making him top priority right after champing 4* Punisher. (Only missing one cover for them.)

    This is the team I used for a long time, but recently I've swapped out icon_storm.png for star.pngstar.pngstar.pngicon_magneto.png and it works better and faster. It's not as much as an infinite combo as HulKKStorm, but Magneto has more HP than Storm and does way more damage with his abilities, and his red clears ALL the tutile.png tiles instead of just 7 of them. Use icon_hulk.pnggreenflag.png and icon_kamalakhan.pngpurpleflag.png and you get a team that makes a ton of cascades and can take a couple hits, even into rounds 7 and 8. It doesn't take a half hour to down Galactus, and the fact that Hulk is powered up makes this even better.

    This team also works surprisingly well in The Gauntlet - I cleared it last time using this team.

    I go with X-Force Wolverine, Iron Fist, Prof. X.

    The plan is to get 5 purple as quick as possible to use Iron Fist's power to create black, and a possible 5 match for Xavier to unlock Big Head mode and doing damage. The black feeds into Wolverine's Surgical Strike. Galactus (so far) has fallen in 2-3 turns most fights.

    So far I've used:
    Hulk
    Gsbw
    3cyclops

    Hulk is tanking red, green, black and blue for me. Anger generates lots of green and that usually does the trick with gsbw. Cyclops has good damage with red and black and yellow helps with the cascading and other 2 powers.

    Been just using a champed Cho and whomever else I feel like through Rd6 (it's been Peggy/3*Spider for rainbow). Cho's green and passive blue are enough to win in 1 cast (12 green AP). The other two guys are just there to be there, some benefit from Spidey's purple protect tiles, but the focus is all on Green matches.

    4clops since he's boosted, Teen Jean and IM40. No losses yet and we're in round 7

    Hulk, IM40, and Iceman for me.

    Hulk tanks and generates green for Iceman.

    IM40 generates green and blue for Iceman. Also his red does a great amount of damage.

    Iceman green does between 4000-6000 damage and his punch does 8000 even though it doesn't stun.

    From a firmly star.pngstar.pngstar.png roster, but without a champed Hulk, I've been using my endurance team of IM40/KK/Groot. Set KK purpleflag.png at 5 & Groot greenflag.png at 5. Use KK to eliminate black/generate green, keep blasting the board w/ Groot & whenever IM40 isn't stunned from his yellowflag.png , pound Galactus with his other two powers. I'm in Round 7 and holding on, but the matches are closer than I'd like.

    My alliance just unlocked round six and so far *** Hulk, *** Punisher, and *** Falcon have done the deed. Falcon helps by removing countdown tiles and buffing Punisher's strike tiles, and with Hulk boosted he tanks green, red, and team-ups, so he can almost always be in the front to take a hit from a resolving countdown and trigger anger. Punisher waits for <40% Galactus health before deciding it's time for a little retribution. I like to in with +2 Blue, +2 Red to make sure that Redwing is online quickly and Punisher is ready to roll when he's needed even with a red-starved board.

    Nothing fancy, just 4* cyc + Chulk + im40. That team can win almost instantly through round 7 on a good starting board, and is also tough enough to survive a slow start with 2x boosted 4*s.

    For round 8, when galactus has 60k health (or thereabouts), I will likely switch to a more reliable infinity engine, but I will at least try this team a few times.

    Edit: galactus was weaker this time, finishing at level 400 with 45k health. So 4*cyc + chulk + im40 was more than enough for the whole event.

    I've been using Ghost Rider (5/3/5), Doc Ock (5/5/3), and Sam Wilson (Falcon, 5/5/3). Doc Ock making all those attack tiles from Galactus' many special tiles is great and then Falcon improving them is even better. Ghost Rider's green and sometimes red do some decent damage. Once in a while, I even have enough black saved up for Penance Stare. I don't think I'll be able to use this too much longer but it's been decent so far.

    I've been using , icon_ghostrider.pngicon_blackwidow.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.png and icon_ironfist.png Plan is to collect purpleflag.png / blackflag.png Use icon_ironfist.pngpurpleflag.png to collect black for icon_ghostrider.png if he's starved of blackflag.png or to punch if not. Then use icon_ghostrider.png to finish the fight. In round 7 and only lost once but that was because my board was starved of both blackflag.png and purpleflag.png for a lot of the fight.

    3clops, gsbw, and switch

    Switch purple --> gsbw for green board control and damage
    3clops yellow --> red for gsbw board control or clops damage if board control not needed

    And if I get clops black boooom
