jeez devs this level sucked (though I eventually beat it) when its just yellowjacket it takes forever to beat him cause no matter what you do he goes invisible all the time. also it takes forever to get his health down.

Anyone else enjoy this one?

    This one did suck. Lost it the first time, even while trying to deny YellowJacket his colors. Beat it the second time, which took waaaay too long, with matching as much yellow as I could, as Loki's yellow will damage YJ even while he's invis.

    ya that was me lost first time won second time. If Yellowjacket didn't go invisible every 2 seconds Alligator Loki's black would have done some damage too

    8,000 characters in this game and they give us three Wasps. Explain it.

    I just Moby **** them that was the most lopsided battle the devs devised . Can’t wait to see who they give us in Shield tomorrow, probably Wasp

    Not just 3 Wasps: the same Wasp twice! Why not throw an ANT-Man or even SPIDER-Man into the mix?

    Anyway, won first time after 25 minutes of chasing Yellow, which was ... no ... fun ... at ... all!

    Meh, it was a long fight but no issues. YJ didn't go invisible, was killed in a couple of turns thanks to whatever the passive is for opponents matching charged tiles. Can see how a bad board though would have made it a nightmare

    Just took a teamup that was enough to one-shot Yellowjacket before he was able to go invisible. But yeah it was a pain.
    Hopefully everybody has whales for the Welcome to Shield event because I'm predicting you are gonna need them for those 5* nodes unless you have some high level champ 5s. This character has low health, doesn't do much damage and by being invisible the first 5 rounds guarantees that your teammates are gonna be up front taking the damage. So it will likely get down to Alligator Loki against the enemy team and just praying that you can stay invisible for entire fight.

    Those high level fights are almost always 2v3, anyway. Heck, if the second required character stinks, sometimes they're basically 1v3.

    Heh...it took me a while to figure out what that meant, with the filter catching the second part of Melville's whale. 

    But yeah, it took me 30 minutes to take out Invisible Yellow Jacket with Invisible Loki-gator.  Saved up 30 yellows and 30 blacks, used them all to damage and shuffle, and just hoped I got enough yellow afterwards to take him out.  Good Lord, that was the worst battle I've seen yet.

    I think one of the mistakes is letting YeJ be the last one standing. If you let 5* Wasp stay alive, at least RNG has to flip a coin between firing her blue or YJ's blue.

    My order of downing opponents is
    4* Wasp, YJ, 4* Wasp, 5* Wasp.

    It took some time due to both Wasps constantly stealing your aps. 

    Indeed, the name "Buzz Off!" Is appropriate for this node.

    I gave up on this mode. And just use TU to kill the wasps and YJ. It was one of the most painful node I ever played in introducing xxx.

    I was very lucky in that I had cast a Green Goblin team up bomb and it went off just as Yellow jacket came in killing him straight away. That said, it still took a long time to whittle down the two remaining Wasp's. Such a slog.

    I don't care that much about some Loki shards to even bother.  I love this game, but some things (IMHO) just aren't worth the time or frustration.

    The dev has fulfilled some players' wishes about playing the same characters together: 5* Loki is the essential 5* but you can't use 3* Loki.

    Alligator Loki's yellow does damage even when the other character is invisible.

    Took forever to beat it and silly me for attempting it just before my PVE grind time. I was in panic mode after I beat it only to realise I had 16 mins left to finish my grind. I made it with like 30secs left (thank god I dropped to SCL8).

    The reason they are there it is probably because they are insects and they are fighting in a swamp. Actually wasp's power is call the swamp.
    I think the difficulty level of this introducing it is a bit hard, however I could beat it until now without using anything, just saving the AP for chaining yellow and black to the most troublesome ones like YJ.
    By the fact I enjoyed some battles.
    I must remember we are here in the same boat, same foes, same character, possibly the factor it determines is smart play or experience.
    And yes it is possibly to play loki version 5* and 4*. Not sure for why because loki 5* is pretty bad, but on this loki character it can be said devs totally listened to players since its creation to the WTS.

    I think having a power to call the Swamp would be pretty cool though! Who wouldn't want to control a Giant Sized Man Thing?

    I guess it is my turn to say: oops! My bad.

    Wasp5 calling the man thing very well could end in improving her.
