    Meet Rocket and Groot
    Day One - 5* Kingpin, Hood, Thug

    Took PPSM (champed with essential boost), 50Thor and Spiderman 2099. Thor hoovers up red and green, you chase blue and and the occasional black (and you should get some in Thor's cascades too) to create web tile and stun the enemy team, then go to town on them with red and green.
    I pretty much stun locked them on 2 occasions from round 2 onwards. 
    A thing of beauty.

    Meet rocket and groot

    And -mistique magneto subject
    Finally I can win all 6 clears without stunning taking advantage of that goon with sinister. 
    Sinister carnage5 and PX is a devastating team.
    Sinister sucks dry all AP and carnage and PX can manage the cds. Sinister damage reduction plus PX carn afford to play on the 5 and 6 try.
    And when the board is filled with traps its posible to predict when behold will appear.
    The control of the board of sinister and the versatility of PX. Its really funny.

    I used a similar team but I used okoye instead of thor. No board shake but use a team up AP boost and collect a few other team up tiles and 2099 web passive hits hard,  plus all those webs get PP spider-man going faster.  His green with okoyes passive nearly wiped out the enemy team and his blue stuns right off the bat.

    Yeah I wish you could run all four. On my third clear with Thor/Pete/Miguel, the opponent never got a turn which was insane. Thor got one of “those” cascades, Miguel flooded the board with webs. Team stun. While they’re asleep, I’m just generating tons of AP and web tiles. Rinse. Repeat. Murder. I don’t think I’ll ever have a challenge node where the opponent never makes a match again. ‘‘Twas cool.

    Sounds too easy to be fun! Wishing I had Pete right now...

    Just Thorokoye and Pete was fun too, fire blue for 5 webs, fire green for silly amounts of damage. Though boosted Pete tanks TU over my Okoye.

    Going to try Miguel though, I like 2099 anyway.

    Thoughts on defeating 5 Hawkeye, Worthy and Wolfsbane with Havok as an essential?

    `What would you do if you met that team in Shield Sim? Bc I always skip that team. It's already hell in SCL8, can't imagine what layer of hell that will be in SCL10. Good luck!

    I did it with Worthy and Hawkeye right back at them.

    The first two clears are actually harder (in my opinion) because the enemy Worthy's damage threshold is lower.  After that it wasn't too bad.  Use Worthy's blue to keep the opposing Worthy stunned until you've knocked him out.

    I cleared it with sinister and PX. That damage reduction lets you endure killing HE without firing any power. And sucking their AP too. And PX can target wolfsbane invisibility. 
    With wolfsbane out worthy is a piece of cake.
    It cost me some tries to figure out tough.

    If you have Apocalypse, obviously this is a choice here. High health, synegry with Havok (immune to stun/ colors), team damage (invisibility can be dmaaged), and boosted power damage upon yellow cast. I know many don’t have even one cover, but after all the comments of how ridiculous the team composition is, I thought I’d off how I beat it.

    I cant beat todays challenge node. Neither hawkeye/hammercap/coulson nor hawkeye/gamora/coulson survives the first turn to keep anything going. Even with full AP and color boosts.

    Refuse to use whales in this.

    Anything using tile spammers like Carnage/brb/ kitty doesnt work due to medusa. No unboosted 4 can takes more than 1-2 match-4 of Sinister at that level.

    Cleared 3 times challenge node with my old team PX Ice5 and carnage5.  Really hard maybe I will do a whale. 
    Incredible the theorically easy 3* node. If using a special tiles char the beating will be extreme. 
    The 4* node its hard too but once cleared 4th clear bishop is useless.

    I hate these simulator challenge nodes. They are the worst. Never picking SCL10 for this event ever again. Rewards aren't worth the frustration. 

    That seems to be a common thing lately.....

    I actually don't mind very challenging nodes that require me to play unusual combos.  But as I always say, the extrinsic factors in MPQ ruin it.  It's extremely HP intensive to run a new combo a few times to try to find the best option, but it is of course very hard to find the optimum strategy without some trial and error.  And while using a few gimmick-y 4* teams works with good board luck, I don't much enjoy loading up a match only to retreat immediately if the board isn't good and use 1-3 healthpacks before trying again.  It's both boring and expensive.

    Sadly, I don't think there is really any way to fix the problem without changing many many other things about MPQ.  demi has basically no room to maneuver on difficulty; if a team can't easily put out 50-80k damage in the first 3 or 4 turns, it's not going to threaten most high-end rosters.

    Meaning of pain CL10 simulator even in some 3* rounds.

    On a side note, the simulator node 6 rocked me, thanos showed me how devastating he can be! He nearly did a solo kill on me 2nd rd :/

    Truth is I appreciate those challenges. Some of them proved that some 4* like kraven and thanos can be deadly and just force to clear it with a tramp user or whatever but a special tiles user.
    Wolfsbane too deals a lot of damage.
    Even loki 3* show me I understimed him with his trucks turning all the board filled with BRB protects into strike enemy tiles. That was epic!
    Updating and changing characters on pve what does in the end is changing the event.
    I would encourage devs to change some chars on other events, if doing so storytelling is not affected.

    Deadpool vs MPQ would be nice. And some of the Dark Avengers events too. Like adding some villains.
