    If the board is good..
    Hawkeye lvl 464 (lvl 100 Wong)
    Gamora lvl 370 (lvl 150 Carol Communicator)
    Coulson lvl 370 (lvl 150 Quantum Realm)
    Once this team gets going it's unstoppable and is probably the most reliable team for challenging 650 nodes (except maybe for the tiny percentage with 550 meta teams).  The only trick is getting enough blue to start the match.  Wong helps, as does boosting.  But you still need board luck.

    Any teams to beat thorkoye + brb without iceman?... 
    It would be nice to know how many beat this node 4 times and the level of their characters. 

    Instead of challenge node the name should be bring your meta 550 five stars and lot of luck node
    Beat it four times last night with:
    Okoye - 475
    Thor - 452
    XFDP - 329

    Boosted yellow/red and team ups. Deny blue and take out Bill first.

    This finally got my 4th clear. Okoye 452, Thor 390 (does have 5 green), XPool 304. Still took a couple of tries, because the opposing Thor's green is a TPK, but with some luck, I think it should still work on higher clears.
    At 330, Hawkeye can only take three hits from that match damage, and I just couldn't get him, Coulson, and Gamora rolling fast enough. Need more levels for him.

    5* hawkeye 2/5/2 390. coulson 4/5/4 333. hammercap 5/3/5 290. takes forever, but if hammercap can survive the first 3 turns you should be able to stun-lock the other guys. my alliance put me on to this today. 

    worthy cannot reliably tank 3 turns against level 650 opponents.  even with is DR, a match4 or lucky cascade will generally wipe him.  I think coulson/gamora/HE is actually a bit more survivable. 
    he only asked how to beat it 4 times...

    i tried for a 5th, but like you say, cap isn't going to last 3 rounds.

    I’ve not had any issue with Worthy, you definitely don’t need him to take more than 2 hits and you can shut them down. 

    Put Sharon Carter support on him, Wong on HE and Taskmaster sword on Coulson and have at it.

    Slog for Wakanda, Sub 3.

    Challenge node: Kraven (265k) /Sabretooth (248k) /Carnage (277k)

    Kraven likes Carnages special tile, quickly gives you a nice 23k damage for each turn open after the second turn. Boosted strikes will hurt you with about 15-20k too. That even kills okoye very shortly after open. Also makes the infinite Hammerhawk-Coulson team impossible.

    I‘m quite stumped.

    4* carnage, sorry for being imprecise. So he‘s the least offender, but carries thor-downing aoe plus the tiles...

    I have a 1/0/0 ihulk; I‘ll run him but am not that hopeful. Xfdp-thorkoye will also probably die too soon before TU gets it going. Xfdp will only take maybe max 2 hits?

    I brute forced it with half-HP 5* Thor, BRB, and Kitty for the first clear.  But that nearly killed them - I'm not even going to attempt a second clear with that team.  So.  Yeah, no suggestions.

    I don’t think this will help many people, but I completed the initial clears.

    Wakanda sub 3:

    First three clears I used: Boosted Captain Marvel (574), boosted Karnak(388), and Vulture (324). Marvel tanks as you send Vulture airborne. Vulture fuels Karnaks blue as he goes super saiyan. Took them out in order Kraven > Carnage > Sabertooth.

    Last clear was tough for me to keep up with the doubling of damage between Kraven’s passive and Carnage special tiles. 

    I resorted to iHulk (455 build 3/5/5), Vulture (324), and Karolina Dean (max covered but under leveled @ 135!). Get Vulture up first and get lucky to get 6 blue as well to get Karolina up in the air too. Once this occurs, both teammates are batteries for their airborne skills and iHulk powers nicely after several many revives. His extremely bonkers match damage and nuke were enough to take care of them all sequentially.

    I haven’t got to that sub yet but I wonder how bringing your own Kraven to that battle would do. Maybe with Thorkoye?

    I cleared 3 times with my old trio Ice5 carnage5 and PX. No other option is viable for me. Kraven first of course.
    For kingping I did with BRB carnage5 and medusa. Kingping first because can crush your team

    I was worried about this one too. Thorokyice worked once, BRB Kitty ProfX barely made it.

    I did the last 2 with Worthy Cap, Hawkeye and Coulson. Hawkeye has Wong as support which is very important. First move, Cap hit twice 8 cds, 30 blue AP. Stun everyone. Then let Clint do his work, Wong will remove the attack tiles (level 2 power) so Cap can keep stunning.

    I did use that team for a lot of the ultron bots but not the CN.

    I used Captain Marvel, 50Thor and Karnak for the first 3 goes, but the damage stacks up too quickly in round 4. 

    Edit
    After typing that, I had a moment and tried Captain Marvel, 50Thor and Doom. I took out Kraven, then when Carnage's tiles started getting out of had left Doom out from to die and clear the board, allowing me to squeak through with only Thor standing at the end, thanks to those tiles Carnage and Sabretooth donated to me.

    Biggest issue is if you have to have him in front, he dies. Got stuck with only a purple match which didn't end well.

    So yeah, the usual Hawkeye/Gamora/Hammercap ended up working (with Wong on support) for clears 2-4.

    I did have one unusual thing happen in my third clear.  The initial board had almost no purple on it, and Carnage put a friendly purple attack tile down on the first turn.  By turn two, I had enough blue to stun everyone, and there was still almost no purple on the board.  And so, quite unexpectedly, I triggered Deadliest Woman on turn 2!  That was neat.

    Wish i would've checked this board sooner... I've been avoiding it, because it seemed that we've been always using the same stuff....

    THEN KRAVEN/CARN4GE/SABRETOOTH HAPPENED!

    Geezus.... I won the first clear with the Gamora's stun-kill squad.  But for the 2nd clear... nope.  No way.  I do NOT have a champed Hawk5ye, and that's necessary.

    Well, shoot.  I DO have a champed 5* Marvel... so I tried a few things there, but I don't have Okoye even close to champing.  Nothing was clicking.

    So, I ended up using her as a tank.  I mean, champed at 453, she had around 150k health.  So, I threw in 3* DP, and SW... and some purple boosts.  And crossed my fingers.

    It worked for clearing up to the 4th time.  On that 4th time, I STILL LOST 3 TIMES.  The damage output is insane, and stunning alone doesn't help, because the attack tiles that Carnage puts out will kill you without a second thought.  Not to even mention Kraven's passive.  

    I was looking through the roster thinking... man, I wish there was a way to get rid of my OWN attack tiles easily, just to get rid of the Kraven issue.  And the only thing I could think of was using Bishop as a battery (who would die too quickly), to use Rescue's ability to change them to protects, and if Bishop was still alive, he can convert up to 3 protects to Blue.

    But this is probably not practical for anything past the first clear of this node.  Bishop can't take all of that!

    Anyways.  I should've checked this sooner so I could try a couple suggestions... although there wasn't much here I could try, to be honest.  I have a 3 cover iHulk, an 8 or 9 cover BRB... you get the picture... not enough tools.

    EDIT:  To the players who wanted MORE challenge than what we normally got... I hope you're happy.  Here's a node that probably only 5% (or less) of the players could complete.  I know maybe only 3 or 4 people in our alliance could clear this one once.

    same here! I been reading this thread for ideas and seen the gamora stun squad for a long time, but never really needed to use it. 

    But this CN is really quite evil. I tried my usual Thoroko-ice, but between stunning Kraven and Carnage, it’s too difficult. And the Attack tiles ramp up too fast. 

    My other usual team was BRB-Kitty-Thor. That team is a “reversal team”, which I just let kitty buff all the defence tiles to survive the CN enemies and at the right moment, use Thor yellow to convert everything to strike tiles and just blast away with BRB green and blue. This team had helped me to beat those pesky 5* teams whose match dmg is just too strong. But I realised it won’t work with Kraven as the enemy (who knew Kraven could be so evil).

    at my wits end, I decided to try the Gamora stun squad! And it worked!! Managed to clear my 3rd and 4th clear with them.

    Thank you all who suggested this team! And thank God that I had Wong as a support!

    I used iHulk, Okoye and Vulture. Okoye died fast but stayed long enough to get 6 black so Vulture can get airborne.

    Vulture almost died due to iHulk deaths and regents right after he landed a few times but was able to get one clear at least. I don’t think I’ll be attempting anymore though.
