    Well, first clear I had no problems with champed 5*, can't even remember the team I used.  After that, I had to turn to Thorkoye/XPool and kill Kraven first.  No issues on the second clear but the third one was so close a few times I nearly lost Okoye but barely pulled through.  Tried Bishop/5Doom/Mysterio on my 4th was going well until an unlucky cascade killed Bishop and stopped by stun party.  Will look at other options and post results if I have any success.

    Tried 4* Thanos with Thorkoye, thought maybe his green/blue maxed out would keep the board clean enough to make that 4th clear, no such luck.  I think it would have worked on earlier clears, but not that 4th one.

    Just to report back here. Hammerhawk/coulson with Wong support worked perfectly.

    well, it took 3x14min = 42min to clear the Challenge node alone. But these were exciting 42 minutes, knowing one wrong power use and it would all go to waste.

    Looking ahead (I did read some of the back items in this thread), it seems that Cosmic Chaos is brutal in SCL10.  Do others agree or was it just the first take of it that was difficult and it is fairly doable (roster dependent)?  Thanks.

    Was able to beat carnage,  kraken and sabertooth 4 times with thorkoye and xfdp.  Yellow ap and team up boosts.

    Since SCL 10 came out, there have only been 2 events I have not been able to get full progression on: Infinite Pursuit and Cosmic Chaos. Even then, I still got all but the last progression prize (4* shards) in both. But both were pretty brutal getting there and took more time and healthpacks than average. I typically put those plus Deadpool vs MPQ as the 3 "hard" events.

    Well I need those Hulk shards from placement like most everyone else; but Skrull is also my only unchamped 4 and Cap is one of 6 unchamped Classic 5s I need. So... time to slog it out for those progression rewards!

    Cosmic Chaos Day 1:
    Captains America node.
    Worthy/Peggy/Hawkeye

    I took First Avenger, 50 Thor and Gamora and worked for 4 clears. Targeted Peggy first while collecting blue, and generating red and yellow passively. Use caps Red and Yellow, Gamora's blue and black, Thor's green, depending on Worthy's trigger threshold and stun status.

    Thor's passive helps you have enough blue kicking around to make matches, and between the blue and Cap's yellow I was for the most part able to keep them stun locked.

    I did not play Cosmic Chaos on 10 last time, is this a different challenge node?

    Worthy is so beefed it is relatively easy, you can't trigger him with match damage. Once Peggy was stunned, all proceeded as planned. Though you do have to stun her every 2 turns or pay the Peggy tax. And watch out for Worthy's damage if you match a charged tile. Could take out your own Cap.

    Sub 3 (the last one) is the killer, with Kitty/Gamora/Rocket.  You need BSSM or maybe Sabretooth or you should almost not bother trying.....

    I agree that sub 1 isn't that bad since the AI is dumb.  HE burns the blue/red on CDs/arrows vs Peggy who could be a real problem with her multi stun or her massive red hit.  Worthy is scaled too high from the first clear to trigger off my match dmg, but maybe I'd be having a harder time if I had 550s.   :D

    That worked great.

    I did 4 clears vs Kitty, X, Wolverine with Storm, Ice Man and Night Crawler. I am unable to get a 5th clear with that team or any of my teams...

    Can we talk about the last node on day 4?
    gladiathor, valkyrie and me hulk?
    I’m doing SL9 and I’m crying,  already in node 1/6 the chars have an immoral level of lifepoints...

    I know you said he doesn't survive for you... but I have to ask... 

    Are you boosting Blue AP?  When I run Worthy/Hawk5ye/Gamora, I boost at least 2 Blue AP.  That mixed with a careful match to not leave any killer cascade or match 4+ for the cpu, usually amounts to just a match 3 for him to block.  Then, all the AP gets generated by Hawkeye, your Sharon Carter support, Wong support for random blue cascades/matches, etc.  Its usually enough to keep you going long enough to insta-kill ONE of the 3, if not more.  After one is down, it gets so much easier, since there's less stunning needed to be done.

    Also, the Milano support on Gamora helps a ton, if she gets lucky enough to generate that 5 black AP at the start.  Helps push that first insta-kill quicker.

    If you still cant do it, I won't blame ya.  I honestly only did a couple clears myself -- after 4 clears of everything else (3 of the last 5* req node), I only needed 2 clears of the challenge node, and 1 clear of each trivial node (in order to be done with progression).

    I only go for a single clear, so Okoye / 2099 / Miles worked for me. Surprisingly easier than I expected, though I was fortunate that X only hit a single match-4 and then I stunned him before he fired his purple.

    I run them with Colson
      i'm way shorter than the 2 blue I would get from boosts, I basically need to stun everyone on my second turn because the strike tiles are too high. They start at above 2k per tiles then Kitty boosts them - any match and I'm out. All 3 enemies need to be stunned by the second turn 

    Maybe if they were with Gamora or Blacksuit SPidey they would stand a chance

    Kitty Valk 5e.  Kill their Valkyrie first, then follow the bounty hunter target.

    Going in with Gritty, there is too much board shake, and you will lose the strikes.  But your Valk can generate strikes throughout the match.  Kitty at 5/5/3 will eat their Valk countdown for damage, then later your bounty hunter will drain their green and give you yellow.

    Deny them purple and its pretty straightforward.

    Fifth clear of Kitty / Rocket / Gamora was performed successfully with Immortal Hulk (2/4/2, lvl 375), BSSM (lvl 452), and Vulture (lvl 340). BSSM is just there to survive long enough to get Vulture airborne. Match black whenever possible - as long as Vulture is in the air, you will (eventually) win. I killed Kitty first to be able to use Vulture's green countdown tiles to kill the others faster.

    Thor/Okoye/Black Suit Spidey did the job for me. Take care to keep the enemy team from collecting blue AP, since Gamora‘s stun is dangerous.
