Prowler's Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. node

I want to praise whoever designed Prowler's loaner node in his S.H.I.E.L.D. Training event. 

Prowler demonstrated great synergy with Dazzler and Medusa, and together they worked very well against Blade, Storm, and Spider-Man.

This is my favorite of all of the loaner nodes (so far) and whoever designed it should (IMHO :wink: ) be put in charge of ALL future S.H.I.E.L.D. Training events.

This is how you showcase a new 4* to maximum effect.

    Sometimes it feels like th mysterious Devs play their own game!  Not all the time, but some times...

    It drives me INSANE when they don't pair new release characters with complimentary teammates to show off what they can do.  It's your tinykitty product, take any opportunity to show it in the best light to help create demand.  

    Pet peeve of mine for years.

    It was pretty good, but he would shine better with Carnage and Medusa against Blade and 3*Cage.

    I thought this too. Carol is also a good choice to go with Dazzler and Medusa, too.

    If I have all three of the Characters at 209+, I like to use the three of them as my team for all 12 of the top nodes. This was one where they really went together nicely.

    I had this same thought.  It's better thought out across the board in this one IMO.  The individual ones with Dazzler and Medusa have a lot of tile generators.  I also beat the first prowler node without any boosts, that might be a first.  Only happened cause they picked 4* Rocket & Groot and I got the purple cover.

    I agree with BH. They should always show new releases in the best possible light so people will feel compelled to spend money to cover them. If your first taste of a character is an arduous chore, why pursue that character? Why empty the HP coffers buying out their store and shield hopping a million times to earn covers in PvP?

    I agree with OP. Whoever designed this shield training did a bang up job, it made me want a leveled up Prowler. Thank you. 

    I hope this is able to continue in the future.

    I agree too. I can't remember when was the last time I was trying to keep the enemy's team alive instead of trying to keeping the new 4* alive. There was awesome synergy flowing with this team of Medusa, Dazzler and Prowler.

    Too bad i matched three fortified enemy strike tiles. They switched to friendly strike tiles and then matched away ...

    I don't believe this team was designed to show synergy. I think this time it just has synergies by accident, which will happen from time to time.

    Apologies as this is slightly off topic but linking into the idea of showcasing characters, is there any reason why we can't have loaner 5* to try out? Dr. Strange in Strange Sights is an exception to the rule but proves it can be done.

    I’ve come to echo the overall sentiment. A good selection of characters on both sides to show off what Prowler can do. It’s a shame that having good synergy on that team is the exception rather than the rule because I enjoyed this top node of shield training very much.

    Which is sad if that is the case.

    Unless I and others are wrong, all ST’s have the exact same nodes and enemies (except for the bottom row).

    That said, he does work well with Dazzler and Medusa.  I don’t know how flexible they are being with the essential ST selections.

    The loaner node in Deadpool vs MPQ had nice synergy too, it was fun matching away Luke Cage's fortified defense tiles so Prowler could steal them and Doc Ock got to make an Attack tile.
