    Well I can't win this Crash. M'Baku is utterly useless 1 v 1. I get a decent head start but once Panther ramps up his specials he runs outta steam and gets overwhelmed. I tried putting his red up to 5 for extra match damage but no dice.

    100% match damage boost all did the trick. Ugh, horrible one.

    I lost first time same way you did and I was shocked since mine is L320 and had a lot more health. But the board just kept giving me non primary matches that would leave Panther with his primary ones. So despite a huge early match damage lead, he won once his specials got rolling (and lack of yellow stopped my heal).

    The rematch couldn't have been more different. I won losing less than 1000 health because I was able to match primary often for big damage and got Yellow regularly for heal.

    The variance in battles was startling.

    It's a tough one. I just equipped him with the Chewie support and let the attack tiles do the damage.

    Mine is ascended and I killed him in two moves.

    (No seriously, it was two match-3s!)

    Mine is only 349 and won in 4 or 5 moves. Also only took like 5 damage. I have him at 5-3-5. Is that what you guys who were having trouble have him specced to? I did also use match damage boost on all r/y b/g, maybe that's the key?

    Mine is level...298, I think. 5/4/4. Won fairly easily without much thought and with full health.

    I guess it depends on the board?

    I have R4 The Dead Pool….this is a very good Crash support. Used it and won with no boosts.

    First time I just jumped in, got a little way then Black Panther got protects and it slowed to a crawl. No danger of dying (other than from boredom), but no immediate prospect of winning. So I retreated, equipped Taskmaster's Sword and got him quickly to about 2k health when he got protects out again and it slowed right down...until I got a couple match 5s and it was over.

    Match damage boosts are interesting because they're almost completely irrelevant on lower tier characters, and borderline overpowered on 5* characters. Before I ascended some of these guys, I forgot their powers even existed -- they were just so awful on 4* that they were automatic 3-cover abilities.

    It seems like every time we get to the boss week the posts/updates slow down on this thread. I like to see who’s boosted for PvP and the other upcoming pve as I have a pretty big iso gap and knowing who’s boosted helps a lot when deciding how to use it.

    If there’s any way to start checking on Monday and updating, if not sooner, that would be helpful.

    Also if you have just said "but silk is actually really good"' we are all right there with you.

    Do you have the chewie support? That got me through maaaaaaaaaany a crash before all my 4s were max covers. Even now I still throw it on if it's not one I have champed lol. Tried m'baku fight normally but he was just so weak. I probably could've won but it would've taken forever, so I quit and threw on chewie. Muuuuuch easier. I think at max lv the fists are ~300?

    Knocked out everything except the final PVP at the end of the month. Best of luck on the Sinister Six vs Spider-Man Boss event folks!

    I probably do. I have a rank 5 Taskmasters Sword I could have thrown on him, I just always forget about Supports!

    Oooh - boosted Killmonger, this will be the first time since I champed him so looking forward to taking him for a spin.

    05/30/24 - 06/03/24
    LOST IN TIME
    Placement Rewards:
    ***. 5 Star: Aunt May (Golden Oldie) ****
    4 Star: Sandman (Flint Marko)
    3 Star: Psylocke (Classic)
    2 Star: Daken (Dark Avengers)
    1 Star: Spider-Man (Original)

    I realize this was added before the socials posted the new character (Mayday Parker). But shouldn’t the Aunt May in rewards have said something like “TBA” until we knew? Doesn’t the pve for a new 5 usually give shards for them?
