    Won't they trigger Bishop and CapWorthy if you gain too many teamup ap? I can imagine iHulk triggers his green passive, Bishop gains 5 blue ap, and then iHulk destroys green basic tiles, then he gains another 5 blue ap.  The same goes to CapWorthy. 4-8 CD tiles and Hawkeye's team gains tons of red and blue aps. The above scenario, of course, depends on the levels between your teams and their teams.

    Those who champed Apocalypse have it good in this PvE.

    Aren't they some of the most hated teams in 5* PvPs? Who else were they teamed up with? 

    What's next for Day 2 and Day 3? Britty? Okoye/iHulk?  :D
    5* node is 4*Cap 5*Hawkeye Wolfsbane
    4* node is Bishop Iceman Agent Venom

    I love Simulator (pve), it's the one event that's regularly-ish updated with newer characters, and at that on semi-meta teams. It's the closest PVE thing to what we see in 5* pick-3 pvp (though of course jacked up to silly levels in SCL10). I'm also fully expecting an iHulk or Apocalypse challenging node or 5e node either this time or next.

    So what are the best routes for those 2 nodes for people not in 5* land yet.

    P.S. Also no Kraven.

    Think it is too early this time but yeah, that is definitely coming!

    Play low and use some decent 4s?  People in 5 land have it the worst with match dmg triggers, but it depends on which SCL you pick and all that.

    No one is speed clearing this mess.  (OK, maybe those who whaled Apocalypse will.)

    So far, I just took Storm’s beatings with Rockernaut. Similar tale with Carbusa against Kraven. I used Strange and 3* Marvel vs. WorthyHawk.

    So far, I’ve gotten 4 clears on the 2e node. The others are @ 1 or 2 clears and they are still way expensive on health packs. I guess I could take a note from the new ST and just whales, but it’s a bit time consuming and I imagine there are better methods.

    Its crazy the difficulty on simulator. I cleared all but 4* and 5*  after 3 hours and half passed and Im ranked over 45! Lol I love it.
    It would be nice if others pves were updated a bit. It would be really nice instead of the boring dark avengers tough. 
    Also I never thought that werewolf would beat me some day.

    3 hours? That's too long for SCL 7.  

    Here are the common 3* teams:

    IM40 and Dr Strange (boosted).

    Switch/Iron Fist/Luke Cage

    AP feeder: Hulk,  Captain Marvel, Kamala Khan, Thor

    How's your Karnak? I think you got him decently covered?

    Get ready for your key AP to be depleted by the AI JUST as you are about to fire the power. And for AIs passive colour or already low colors to be depleted when you use it.

    This could be an interesting one with everyone running BRB all the fricking time.

    AI might use Shulk green instead of BRB which, while annoying, won't hurt you.  And there's a decent chance the AI won't fire Clash of the Worthy at all, or very rarely, and use Shulk's blue to give you some of the protects.

    Looking forward to this one.

    Scl10.  Karnak is great. Champed and I use him often. 
    But maria is buffed and more covered and she is a beast here. Firing 2 best intentions and matching 2 traps deal 25000 damage.

    Please add more 4* characters into the pvp rotation. Just tired of the 3s.

    In 4* I fought fire with fire . (Actually ice ).  I out Bishoped the AI Bishop with Okoye/ Bishop . Then it’s a stun trade off a few rounds until Iceman is out. 
    In 5* same thing , used my own Hammerhawk, let AI trigger first damage Worthy response

    It'll only suck for me for clearing seed teams since Rocket and Juggs is my main team for that. So, people will lose a boosted Rocket for their Gritty and Rocket/Juggs teams but they get a solid alternative with Rogue and Moon Knight or hell even Coulson.

    Can we get a Bishop nerf or rework already????? A 4 star with a 5 star power level. Come on already!

    Is it unusual not to have a new 4* as progression reward for the season.  I figured Hellcat would be a shoein for progression reward instead it's Spiderman 2099.
