    Hm. My Peggy is champed at 272 and I got 18 Red before Wasp got 6 blue, and down she went.

    What's your Peggy covered at right now, out of curiosity?


    My Pegs is 3/2/1 Not at all where she needs to be to make the fight easy or fun, but people have done it with worse. 
    I think the bug is what's wrecking me the most. Inevitably, she gets a blue and runs me down

    The first time Peggy showed up in CoT, I got it first try, I believe 5-1-2, level 132 or something like that.  So I went in this morning without changing anything, except for the fact that she's now 5-3-4. Lost the first one, mostly due to the countdown bug.  Leveled to 150, r/y +2, p/b +2, game over.

    No problems with my 5/3/5 champed Peggy, no boosts.  I think it highly depends on your cover breakdown/level.  Maybe expectations need to be reset about at what level the CoT should be easy/hard based on that.

    Yes the countdown bug hurts. A lot. 

    But I really think people have a built in impression of Wasp that she sucks and that this should be an easy fight. Even without the countdown, it's one of the more challenging crashes. It's the first one I've ever fought with a champed 4 that I lost. Ever. 

    Partially because I underestimated Wasp. Partially because I went in smug, thinking I had a champed 4, and didn't need to respec her from 355 to 535. Partially because of the countdown bug. 

    But this was one I actually had to think to beat and that is fun to me.

    Beat her unboosted with my champed 5/3/5 lv275 Peggy on the first try. I use Wasp a lot, so I realized from the start that I needed to focus on denying blue.

    I got a red punch off early, but then Janet got her yellow out and went over her blue threshold. That meant she was whittling my health down very quickly between match damage and the CD bug (while also repeatedly stealing my red AP). I also accidentally matched her CD at one point which hurt.

    I finally took her down with maybe 500 health left, after an agonizing wait for my blue CD to resolve. Luckily, blue still does pretty good damage at 5 covers even with just one CD.

    yeah,  I double check my specs before this crash.  I'd actually tell you to respec 5/5/3 for this reason.  you need the yellow to slow down wasp, and the value of Peggy's blue is neutred in these 1v1 matchups.  But ultimately this crash was about amassing red and hoping you could one shot her.

    Lost first try with my champed.peggy, but I just wasn't ready for how good Wasp is now. I was even matching away her countdown tile for major damage lol.

    If anything, the new crash shows that peggy really isn't all powerful as described. No nerf needed.

    No luck for me so far - 4/1/4 level 192. Cruelly, I managed to get her down to 46 Health on the very first try, and haven't managed to get her below 6000 since. My 3* Captain Marvel is at level 182, so if I can pull one of her covers before the end of this taco cycle I could bring Peggy up to 5/1/4, which might help a bit. 

    *UPDATE* Victory! I decided to open a few standard, elite, and heroic tokens, and ended up with two ** Captain Marvels. That let me raise 3* Captain Marvel to 183, granting me a Peggy red cover (in other good news, I managed to land two bonus hero Hawkeye covers, bringing him up to 4/4/4, wheeee!). At level 213, 5/1/4, I gave that Wasp a good stomping before she could slowly sting me to death with her blue. My reward was a Spider Woman red *shrug* - hey, at least it was usable, bringing her to 3/1/2.

    Same. Well, mine's at 273, but yeah. I did respec her to 5/5/3, but didn't even take boosts. I was actually surprised to find that people were struggling. Next cycle, I'll probably crash and burn because of hubris.

    This has actually been the easiest crash for me. Champed peggy, 272, respec'ed to 553. 

    Denied blue, didn't care much for yellow and gathered my red. A couple of punches to the face and one blue discharge and wasp was down.

    Lt saved until the end of season

    I see a lot of complaints about countdown tiles doing 1 damage, but I assumed that was intended- I thought it was a nice thing you can plan for and use to your advantage.

    Anyway, I made a point of not letting Wasp fire her strike making ability, and after using 1 red and 1 blue, Wasp dropped. My Peggy is lvl 145 5/1/5, both Red and Blue did great damage here, despite her blue not getting multiple tiles.

    Went with my newly 13/13 Peggy, 5/5/3 spec'd, without any boosts and won on my first try without any difficulty. She got enough AP to fire off yellow and black as well as her blue passive activating.

    My level 172 3/1/4 Peggy is getting wiped. After not beating flaptains with level 188 2/5/2, I'm frustrated.

    I struggled with this CoT with my Peggy @ 282, 3/5/5. Took me four tries to finally beat Wasp, that CD bug was horrible for this match. Was finally able to deny her blue without 'magic' cascades every turn giving her the blue she needed to steal my ap and completely handcuff me while dealing extra damage every.... Frustrating was not a strong enough word for this one
