When will you finally realize, that puzzle gauntlet nodes like the Thanos / Wolverine Patch node are so RNG, that they might get banned in some countries cause they would be considered gambling!
Every puzzle gauntlet it’s the exact same thing…

    Those nodes are rude. Let us use characters that can actually do a thing. You can make it hard, just don't make it like this, where you can only use 1 character and even then it's pure luck.

    Never really see a reason to play this nodes anymore. Too big of a headache

    The fact that the increased drop of purple indicates you need to use 3* SL for it, but the pathetic health of a 3* is really the pinch here. Whoever comes up with this node is simply evil...

    Put Element Blasters on SL. Makes it easier to beat

    Ascension makes some of these really, really easy. I used 4->5 BP for this one -- his repeater makes strike tiles.

    I miss the first year they took over and made a lot of QoL changes. We're halfway through the year and all we've been getting is half-baked rebalances to sell costumes, pve events repeated in a loop and now supports in pvp.

    I'm not even expecting new stuff, just want them to look at the current state of the game and do some adjustments. I don't think it's a big ask.

    Like OP mentioned most Puzzle Gauntlets don't make sense, level scaling is insane for 550 rosters, not fun or just plain frustrating. PVE rewards are just lacklustre, why can't we just have some classic and support tokens sprinkled in? They updated rewards in pvp, so it's not a technical issue.

    PvP is a big headache to fix I admit, But they could just run more off-season events and lightning rounds. Mini-events that don't require much commitment and anyone can just jump in and do a few fights for fun.

    TLDR there are lots of ways for them to upgrade the game without having to create new assets.

    My BP isn't ascended yet (but he is at 370) and I always do that puzzle with him. Fire his blue once for some protect tiles and he's taking like no damage. Try to get a few of his yellows on the board. The hardest part is not accidentally killing the enemies when the match goes too long. Annoyingly I lost my first attempt when I killed them and FIVE TIMES patch fired his green when thanos purple was on the board...

    This is good advise. Unfortunately it is not something you can strategise to have in the short to medium or even long run. Ascending can take years for a character. Beyond the reach of strategy for events.

    Depends where you're at, I guess. Several players on this forum (and many, many more who aren't) have max 4* that could be ascended, but they're choosing to wait so they can collect a few more CP or tokens.

    If you want to ascend a specific 4* character you can do it in about 2-3 months if you target them.
    It can take years if you don't target them and just wait for the game to give you covers.

    Actually we're saying the same thing. Yes I can probably ascend a targeted charachter in 2 to 3 months. Events pop up and are available for a few days only. Not sure how anyone can choose to ascend a character to 4 or 5* in a span of days.

    So some of the characters on that list are the same each time. So we could target to ascend those characters over time so the usual suspects are ascended prior to the Event. This would take years if you do so... to cover all the usual suspects at 2 to 3 months each.

    Doesn't have to be ascended to make strikes. Cleared the node with a boring old lvl 370 copy.

    Yes, these stupid RNG slot machine pulls are irritating, but they are what they are.

    Want actual puzzles, play an actual puzzle game.

    Like Hidden Objects ... or good ol' Jigsaw Puzzles. There are apps for simulating anything and everything.

    Low level AI on BP made this extremely trivial. Supports admix with a solid character that can also “do the thing” is really the key to most of these puzzles. Good luck 🤙
