For the PVE node 5 Magneto is required, what teams do you all use against Medussa/5Rocket/5Gamora ?

This is such an annoying node when they're boosted. I was curious what teams some of you use. My Magneto only has 1 cover so he's no help by the way.

    That's a shame, Magneto slaps when he's boosted and you're banking yellow. I've just been riding boosted Okoye + iHulk on all the required nodes. Are you looking for a 4* or 5* solution? If you're really desperate, you could bring GE Doom with you to die on purpose and clear all the specials out, and if you have him, use Lumbercap to revive him, but it seems like Sabretooth/Polaris might possibly be able to help here?

    Like RW says, I normally roll out Sabertooth/Polaris when Grocket is on the other team. Target Medusa first in the above team. However, I acknowledge you are likely talking about SCL10 and are perhaps having trouble not dying in the first match 3. Magneto makes an ok meat shield but does not share enough colors with Sabertooth and Polaris is your restricted to matching Grocket’s strikes.

    Colossus + Chavez + Boosts. Deny blue, kill Medusa first.

    Get a heavy hitter or great pair and toss morbius on the back.

    I used Okoye and Morbius in SCL 10, and they cleaned up.

    Colossus + America Chavez.

    Throw in +1 all ap boost, + 50% critical boost + 100% match damage boost.

    You don’t need boosts to attack this team. Take col5 and america/killmonger or your best pair and stick morbius in the back. It’s easy wins

    It's the essential 5* node. Magneto is required to use.

    Yes, please keep recommending a three-person Shield Sim team for this CL10 5E pve node. That’s good stuff. As far as OP’s question, I usually use Okoye/Sabretooth. But Okoye/Hulk should power through just fine as well.

    Yeah that's my bad I was a little drunk last night. I took Col5 and Morbius and I also ran col5 and 5witch. With Morbius I took less damage.

    I used Okoye and Morbius , was a long 6 minute win but it worked , then switched to SWitch and was about 6 times faster win .

    This one always catches me out, especially on the final grind. Very dangerous team at CL10 with the high damage and Gamora's stun. No guarantee that they won't get a blue cascade and then stun someone, making the fight take much longer (or just making you lose). Thanks for the helpful suggestions though, I think I will give Colossus, Chavez and boosts a try.

    I used Colossus + America on the 5e, +2 all AP, +125% crit damage, +100% match damage. First match went well, was over in 1:48. Second match the AI lucked into massive cascades that shut off America’s crit production and split out Medusa’s Attack tiles, but not early enough to make backing out the clear best strategy. Eventually folded and went to whales, so my second clear took 2:48 total including the wipe and whale. Best advice: do this node first, leave buffer time, and have whales ready jic.

    Carbage/Magneto (champed)/Morbius worked for me by the skin of my teeth on clear 4 lol. It's a bit counter intuitive, but Carbage can keep the board seeded with enemy specials for Morbius to clear. I took out Medusa first, and ended up down to just a barely alive Magneto who went airborne with 23 yellow in the bank and took care of things. Not sure I recommend this team highly, just saying what I used...

    Just went through the node on SCL9 and ate a few health packs. Sabertooth can either be a godsend against Grocket, or frustrating when the tile explosion just misses everything. Or worse, the best strike tiles are on the Polaris matches
