Does anyone have a hint for how to do this node? I've wiped with every character allowed...

    Silk is how I normally do this one but it is time consuming and fairly RNG.

    I've always done this one with Karnak. His protect tile helps alleviate the damage done to him especially now that Prowler is so much stronger after his rebalance.

    I'd suggest equipping the Chimichanga support since it fortifies his protect tile for you (Prowler will too of course). But more importantly it gives you a chance for +2 Red when matching Red and Red is the key power since you fire it to destroy tiles on the edge columns so you get fortified tiles into the bottom corners. After that it's just matching / firing Red again to get Fortified to drop into the top 2 corners.

    Silk, a fortifying support, and pray

    Thank you! It took four tries, but it worked!

    Yeah this might be up there with one of the most frustrating ones there is. You have little choice but to persevere. It helps if Monica puts her repeater on one of the end columns as when it gets to the bottom it leaves the Fortification behind.

    The Space Stone we all just got is good for Silk also. I save up Blue until I can launch it three times and pray I haven't died in the meantime. Keep an eye on Monica's purple power as she places that f*ng countdown that raises the AP needed for you to fire anything. And Prowlers stun sucks also. This is by far the least fun (and there are lots of contenders) Puzzle Gauntlet node. It's basically RNG.

    Cage? No one used Cage?

    It wasn’t super fun or fast but he fortifies specials.

    Unfortunately he killed them a couple of times before I could do it. lol

    A weird (newer) design problem with these puzzle gauntlets is that if you ascend or have a high level toon they can actually win these 1 v 2 nodes before meeting the conditions.

    I kinda feel like the whole thing needs an overhaul somehow.

    I always use Cage and with a little hope and lot of patience...

    I tried with Storm. Get 9 black and fill the board with attack tiles and hope Prowler fortifies them. I managed to fire off black, but Prowler sadly didn't fortify the right tiles. So, because Storm is quite weak in HP, I lost.

    Cage and Chimichanga support. Always went with Cage because his health pool was always the highest amongst the 5.

    Oh oops! Sorry, I forgot this is the one that only lets you use featured characters. Never mind!

    Didn't do jack on the web tiles one.
    Any suggestions?

    Ha! No worries. They can all blend together after a while.
