    [not to double post... but i finished my Challenge Node clears today]

    Challenge Node: Brooklyn Bridge

    Carn5ge/BRB/Th3r

    ...I'll make this quick today.  I didn't want to deal with Carnage OR BRB.  For all 4 clears I used...

    Gamora's Stun-Kill Squad  (my version being G4mora/Hawk5ye/Hammercap, with supports being Rank 3 Milano, Rank 2 Wong, and Rank 2 Sharon Carter, respectively)

    Fun side note:  At one point, I was ONE purple tile away from doing an insta-kill, and I had not enough blue to stun Thor, who had just woke up.  Thor just matched a tile, Hammer jumped in, and one of the CDs popped up on the purple that I needed.  My turn came, and since I had Gamora in front, her passives triggered first, so Thor died instantly.  What a great retaliation!

    Anyways... Good luck to you!

    EDIT:  Based on our previous discussion, I tried using the search function to search for past Challenge Nodes in here.  I searched for "Empire State" and "Duck be a Lady"... you know, recent ones.  Search engine found none...?  What am I doing wrong?
    HAHAHAHA FUN SIDE NOTE.

    I had full purple tiles 7 times pre-match/post stuns, and every time I made a match to end my turn, it would drop, you guessed it, ANOTHER PURPLE TILE.

     No matter where my match was. Near the top, forced match 4s... Always ended up dropping one stray purple tile. Eventually Cap died. And everything fell apart. Not the first time this has happened to me.

    I absolutely hate the limited amount of viable teams to beat these nodes. Especially since most need a Kitty (mine has 6 covers) or a 5* Prof or Hawkeye.

    You're not alone in that.  I don't think it was seven times, but it was certainly more than should have happened.  Cap went down once Carn5ge got his red ability.  Cap jumped in front, and promptly died in a puff of smoke.  It was a retreat after that.  I've only beaten this match once, and it was with ALL THE WHALES.

    Is there an industrious soul out there that has compiled all of the Challenge Nodes from all of the events run so far?
    Someone who perhaps needs an activity to occupy some time?

    Challenge Node:  Arctic Circle

    Goblin/Area/Grenadier

    Not much to talk about here.  Goblin's black is powerful, we know.  Grenadier's green is strong, and gets protected by Goblin... but that's the only CD that's common here... Ares' yellow and Goblin's purples dont come out that often.

    So, because of the boosted list, my personal choice for four clears was easy.

    Kitty/Valkyrie/BRB (boosted)

    Valkyrie's bounty hunter gives green AP, so Skuttlebutt flew out there VERY often.  The starting protect tiles with Kitty made this pretty safe too.  And Kitty uses Grenadier's CD to punish the others very often.  Easy four clear.  The only thing that hit me often was Ares' green, and even then, I didn't care much.

    Good luck to you!

    Boosted BRB meant I took 50Thor and America Chavez along with him and went to town on them. Goblin first.

    as one might expect, the 5* distribution favors villains. But no thanos or loki at all? that seems odd.

    Also, 4s seems very underrepresented, especially given that (unless something has changed about post-400 scaling) their power damage and healthpools are actually quite a higher than comparable 5s.

    Actually some nodes featuring the 5* needed are way hard than challenges. It uses to include 4*. And if the player dont have the 5* champed are really difficult.
    Here, like always, the strategy depends on the roster level of each player.
    It would be nice to play on challenge nodes more often versus 4* synergied instead of super powerfull 5*.

    I think the 5* essential nodes are unchanged from pre-cl10 (challenge nodes replaced the old 2* essential nodes which are not present in cl 10). But dealing with them at level 600 is quite different from cl9 where they top out at 515.

    Challenge Node: Mediterranean

    Kingp4n/Sentry/Dak2n

    Not hard at all, given the boost list and no 5* match damage to go against.

    For 4 clears, i used the same team and strategy from yesterday...

    Kitty/Valk/BRB (boosted)
    (For those who wanna know the stats...
    Kitty is 450, Valk is 280, BRB is 4/2/3)

    And still, Skuttlebutts for everyone! :)

    Good luck to you!

    Sure things can change...
    Kingping/ sentry/ daken
    I chose carnage5 and karnak champed both... and BRB lev 460 boosted
    They barely can damage my team and they are dead before they can fire any power on all 6 tries.
    Thanks to karnak 3 critical tiles too

    With Karnak powered up, Gritty and Karnak have been making short work of the challenge nodes. Karnak has to be my favorite new(ish) character.

    I regret trying this team for clear 5. Wiped. How can you not take damage and why bother running Karnak as you want the blue for BRB more.

    Valk kitty BRB I took about 2k damage and no risk.

    Valk kitty BRB I took about 2k damage and no risk.

    Like I said BRB is level 460. So, with some luck, 3 critical balls can make about 75k damage and provide a lot of AP.

    My champed BRB and Karnak were doing absolutely INSANE dmg on crits. 200-300k if placed in the right spots.

    Challenge Node: The Americas

    Lieutenant/Lieutenant/Spy

    ...i hope you dont need help here. Its all about controlling CDs, and maybe a touch of luck? Eh, probably not. :)

    For all 4 clears (only needed 3 for full progression, but it was fun), i used...

    Prof5*/Karnak (boosted)/Chavez
    All 3 are champed, prof at 450, karnak is 273, chavez is 280.

    Karnak's red and blue are awesome, but his black at 5 makes him stronger than prof 5*! Mix with his blue for stupid strong crit damage!

    I hold back from using powers until after the 4th turn, because i like to see karnak go nuts after using his blue, then prof purple(purple) to shake the crits down some more.

    And his red is perfect to force things into place, in case they actually thought theyd get a CD off.

    Took no damage all clears. Easy peasy.

    Good luck... Although you probably dont need it.

    For the Lieutenant/Lieutenant/Spy, I used Kitty (LVL 451) and Grocket (LVL 316) and 5trange (LVL 457) for the first couple of clears, but the countdown tiles were still showing up way too frequently for Circuit Breaker to take them all down.

    So I replaced 5trange with Peggy Carter (LVL 311) with her yellow set to 5. That really slowed the countdown tiles down, and let Kitty pick them off one by one. The matches took a bit longer, but I think there was only one turn there was more than one countdown tile on the board. NO chance of taking a stray Pistol to the face.
