Domino vs. Totally Awesome

Hmm, I thought. She is champed but what can she really do? Well, I managed to get of several green attacks. And the board shook constantly because of that and her black passive. The I realized I had 19 red(!) And TA was but a memory. LT was a Rogue champ level. She's actually not bad.

    Has anyone been successful without being champed?  I have her at 3/4/2 covers and level 160.  Don't know if it is worth the 43k iso to max level her and take another shot.

    I’m at level 209, 2/3/5, and I’m having a tough time so far. Anyone else having success with a non champ?

    Level 303 champed Domino wiped 4 consecutive matches. A lucky board turned the tide. At least Cho's finally rebalanced, I guess?

    Ok, I finally got it. The secret is to get lots of lucky cascades and hope that TAH doesn't cascade into green or put the countdown where you can't get it.

    Got my first professor X cover!

    Honestly, i think her Red is key for anyone, even unchamped Dominos.

    Id save up to fire it off at least twice at once, and hopefully one green inbetween.  So, red, green, red.  At minimum.  If you can save for more before dying, do so.

    Her red does great damage, but Cho heals up nicely.  So you wanna kill him before its an option.  The green is there to shake it up, get more blacks out there so your 2nd red can be more effective.

    I hope this helps.

    Won first try with a 3/5/3 lvl 209 Domino.
    Was pretty easy, actually. Board was very green-deprived. Lots of red, though.

    If not champed, you need a lot of luck indeed. The problem is that the black that's useful for Domino's red is also useful for TA. 
    I have Domino champed and it took me some tries, and that with team-ups.

    Lvl281. Won the way Domino always does: Absolutely ridiculous luck. Got two match-5s in my first turn, and things just sort of continued in that vein. Very appropriate, if not particularly useful as a guide to others ;)
    Token was a Gwenpool champ level.

    It took 5 times for my 4/5/4 L209 Domino to win.

    Cho had 2x my 7K health and he would literally 1 shot me if he gets his green. So you need a board that is mostly green starved AND you have to collect any green that does appear while keeping his blue CD from resolving as much as possible. On the 5th try I got that kind of board and managed to down him with 4K health left after firing red once and green a couple of times.

    Skittledaddy must have gotten Domino's luck to get that kind of board on his first try :wink:

    took a couple of attempts, and bought the red cover in HFH vault to get domino to 3/3/5 level 229 (the red at 2 covers wasnt cutting it) - also assigned the Chewie support for some attack tiles, but she got the job done

    I like Domino more than most, but this was a much tougher fight than expected for my level 280 4/5/4 Domino. I think one of the big problems is that Cho eagerly makes black matches as well, often leaving you with too few black tiles on the board for red to deliver a big hit. I managed it on my third try, but it was a close fight. I saved up AP until I could go green-green-red, which was not very AP efficient, but it did the trick.

    I lost my first two fights and not had a chance yet to try again. 3/3/5 Lvl 209 Domino is struggling a lot, damage output is too low and TAH health is too high. Maybe there is a Support I can try to help if I have it. Will have to think.

    Did it on my second try with a 5/5/3 (4/5/4 might be better here, but I was trying to prevent his heal) Lv273 Domino.  First time I had two reds and a green lined up when he cascaded into two critical hits and finished her with match damage. The second time I had a lucky L-shaped match 5 on green which led into:
    red—>3x green —> red for the win.

    The LT gave me a America Chavez champ level.

    Is Cho a fictionally appropriate pairing for Domino it was it just a randomly tough matchup?

    the trick for her is to flood the board with Black by chasing board shake through either her green or N-Clears, then fire off red. With a mid-280s Domino at 3/5/5 I did it first try with no boosts, and effectively 1-shotted Hulk off that red damage. I run her a lot though, so I guess I'm used to playing her. Most of my 5* champs have black nukes, so having it on the board can be helpful.

    I have her champed but lost 2 times , this is a total mismatch, 

    maybe I’ll get 3rd time lucky

    Level 137 Domino sat back and let 200 4* Chewie support do all the work.  No powers fired.

    Seriously they need to bring back that Heroes For Hire bundle with a purple support token for 250 CP.  Totally worth it.

    Chulk punched me in the face third try. Guess I shouldn't have made fun of his lycra shorts back when he was the screen save.

    My Domino is 1/3/2 level 131 and I keep getting mashed. Anyone have any vague ideas how I might do this? Sadly I don’t have a Chewie support like Tarelgeth above.

    Do you have any other supports at a reasonably high level? Carols Communicator is handy for the 2 strong protect tiles it gives (at L150 it gives 2 str 600 tiles which would remove all the match damage).

    You just may not be high enough level yet to win this one unless you buy the HfH offer or open some tokens and get a Domino or 2 as a BH.
