    Thanos and Daredevil.

    DD self heals Thanos' pain, and the self healing makes more strike tiles to speed things up further.

    It depends on the 4* boost list honestly. I have no go to team except for trivial nodes I use Grocket/Gamora.

    90% of the time 5* Thor (5/5/3 L255) is a part of my team.

    Last week is was Thor/Riri (plus Cable for non essentials)

    Then Thor/Nebula (plus TA Hulk for non essentials)

    Then Thor/Dazzler (plus Grocket for non essentials)

    This event is Kitty/Grocket (plus Gamora for non essentials). So Thor actually gets a break!

    Not having a go-to team allows me to play different characters and combos.  While fun it means I don’t have my grind times down to a science like others probably do who use the same combos weekly. Still, I manage to do okay for my goals.

    Thor/America.

    For regular nodes I'll add Ghost.

    In my late 4* run, it was Grocket and Gamora. Then when I champed my first 5* it was JJ and Chavez almost every node. Now, I've gotten in a decent spot where I can actually mix it up more often then I have in a while. I was rocking 50% Thor and Cable last event. This one is Kitty and Grocket. While my 5* Thor, Okoye, DD, Thanos, and BP aren't champed, they're high enough for me to get some use out of them for regular play along with JJ, Black Bolt, and PPSM. I'm oddlyy using more characters in 5* world then I was with 60+ 4*s.

    Thorkoye. I know many who swear there are faster pairings, but I just don't see it. The third is the only debate for me.

    In CL7 it's Thor and Daredevil, trust me. Kill one enemy and you win.

    As a mid 4* player who doesn’t have a champed R&G or Gamora, I usually run Vulture+Iceman or Vulture+Peggy; but I’ve almost fully covered Okoye, so I’ve been playing around combos with her very recently

    I'm still in 4* land, so it does vary by Boosted list, but for goons, it takes some really good boosted characters to do better than America Chavez/Strange/Featured 5*. Against tile movers, it gets more complicated, but I'm starting to think Kitty/Grocket might become my go-to against Dark Avengers, specifically nodes with Daken and/or Bullseye.

    Thanos RG for 2/3/4*.  Just know you will burn health packs.  This is what a lot of top end players use. 
    For the 5E it would be Thor and Okoye.

    If it's all goons, Strange is a must. But I usually go with who is boosted. I should not that I am not in 5* land, I'm just about approaching the point where I don't use a 3* on my non-essential nodes. (with the exception of Strange of course)

    I’m in early 4* land, but I got lucky and pulled a 3/1/1 Okoye. I run her with St3nge on countdown goons. If it’s 3 characters who don’t use countdowns, I run Carnage/Medusa as they’re two of my five decently leveled 4*.

    OML and Doc Strange, strange yellow + oml strikes = enemy suicide.

    Used to be 5* Lord (5/1/2 lvl 345 with 3* Element Guns at lvl 150)/4ocket (with 2* Milano lvl 100)  for the mega-match damage, but lately it's been Okoye (5/2/1 lvl 300) /Strang3 (lvl 266) if there is even 1 goon on the node or Okoye/Medusa for tile movers

    I'm just now getting decent amounts of covers due to my last set of 5* pulls... so, I'm playing around with loki, kitty, cable, and whoever is boosted.  

    Because of that, I've learned that Kitty and ProfX are inseparable.   Add in a cheap power user for stupid fun.  

    I obviously like to use grocket just to fly through stuff... but that boost list is fun to play around with!

    The half health bros, Thor and Daredevil. Easy nodes with Thanos to get them hurt enough, then try to have DD tank all damage.
