DDQ CotT Cycle 5: Professor X vs Improved Elektra

Milk Jugz

My prof x @215 4/5/4 took her down first try but it was obnoxious..... After she hit shadow step I would only do damage every 6th turn or so then she would hit shadow step again. My invisibility tile feel in a good place but it still took for freaking ever. 

Add to the hoard!!

Took me 4 tries with my level 90 0/1/2 Prof X. I boosted blue/purple, blue/purple damage, and all colors damage, but it still took forever. So many Shadow Steps uGH.

Well this was still easy. Got with my first attempt level 150 PX 3/4/5. Just went invisible and watched how PX powered Elektras tiles for my advantage and once I got rid of her shadow step, it was insta win

My Prof X is 5/5/2 and this fight was a huge pain.  It took me 3 tries.  It's just really aggravating that you have 0 ways to deny her stuff, because she just steals whatever you take.  You can't even build up purple for an extra invisibility, because shes steals that too.  By the end, she had 2-3 Ballets running, so she would instantly steal any Purple/Red/Black AP I matched.  Also, with Ballet being on multiple colors now, it's very hard to hunt for the traps.

I cant believe I got it done with my 1/1/1 lv78 ProfX. Super lucky with the invisibility tile at the bottom corner and the board never shuffled. No boosts, just wanted to take a try, well, took me more than 30 minutes, and I WON. 

LT was bad, Spider Women purple, 1000 ISO.

Got it on my first try. 
2/5/1 Prof X. 

I use Elektra quite a bit so I knew her deal going in. Denied red at all costs. Tried to get purple as fast as I could. Then deny black and trick her into using DDC. She got her black off which made the battle longer. But once she fired DDC while I was invisible, it took about 3 turns to get rid of her.

Terrible fight.  Gave up on leaving my 2/2/2 at level 70 as I'd duke it out for 30 minutes at a time only to lose to a random cascade and have to start all over again.  At least at level 127 I did it on the first try...

4/3/3, lvl 189. Took 3 tries, no boosts that I can remember. The AP steal is definitely annoying.

This crash is going to be the end of me.

I almost had her just now, despite her having matched away my invisibility tile 3 times, I'd somehow managed to keep enough purple to keep recasting it. I was down to 226 health, she was down to 623, when a tinykitty cascade put my invisibility tile squarely into a straight line match-5. She had Shadow Step and the other one (ballet of death? I should know, I've seen it enough times this week) out, but there was nothing I could do to break the match-5, so I had to take it myself and hope for the best.

Downed by the trap tile before Charlie's giant head could down her.

*sigh*

To all the people who think this is a cakewalk if you have one purple cover, YOU ARE WRONG. YOU ARE VERY WRONG AND PLEASE STOP TELLING PEOPLE THIS, BECAUSE IT JUST GETS THEIR SAD LITTLE HOPES UP.

I think that sentiment was more true in previous Crashes (before her latest update) when she did not steal AP. This one was definitely more difficult, especially compared to other invisibility users because Prof X can't make multiple invisibility tiles in case one gets matched.

my 3/3/2 level 111 got it on the first try...boosted Purple and all colors

a bit lengthy but no real troubles (got two match 5's early on)

I spent an hour battling Elektra on my gf's 3/2/1 level 131 PFX. Got lucky to where she never matched away my invisible title, but the continuous castings of powers was just unbelievable. Thank goodness she doesn't actually heal or would still be fighting her.
