4-star DDQ - That Reworked Guy vs. Soon-to-be God Emperor

This is a horrible fight for me. Lvl 250 F, 2/5/5. His stun only does 1 stun and damage IF there are friendly special tiles.
The special tiles must come from black and its a repeater tile, so i have to wait 2 more turns after i cast.
His yellow only works on enemy special tiles and believe me, you won't want Doom's strike tiles out there.
Twice wiped out now, with boosts and all. Maybe try at a later time

Went from a long slog of a fight to a rather simple one. All it takes is a single Imaginaut tile ticking down and the fight is pretty much over.

With a 1/2/4 Mr F, this one feels out of reach for me.

I contemplated the F4 sale pack (already a good deal on HP), but I still have 5K so don't really need it. And none of the characters seem particularly good, especially after the Mr F nerf.

5/3/5 Level 293 Reworked Guy

I didn't take any boosts as I wanted to see how the new Mr. F performed. He's a better solo character now for doing straight-up damage; by the time I had enough black for the Imaginaut I had enough for two casts of blue. Imaginaut spit out some attack tiles so I was able to finish the match with those blue casts. I still like Reed's old build better.

Token was a red Kitty to make her 1/3/5 and that's two crash tokens in a row that have netted me a Kitty cover (purple & red). Maybe next time I can get one of her coveted yellow covers.

As a player with a championed Mister Fantastic, I never previously had any issues with this fight: stun, get Imaginaut on the board, collect blue while getting incidental damage from red/green/yellow cascades.  As of the rework, I've already failed twice running without boosts.  The stun is more expensive, lacking protects means no mitigation if Doom gets his attack tiles out, and Imaginaut takes longer to take effect, and is of pretty marginal utility if it doesn't generate strikes for you early on. 

It might seem like a good idea on paper to let Doom get his strikes out to make use of the passive yellow, but in practice, you take too much damage trying to line up strike matches (unless you're very lucky with their placement) while Doom is just farming AP for his nuke.  

Luck always plays a role in Crash fights, but this one seems weighted far more heavily on fortuitous boards than it previously did.

Just musing. Now that we know God Emperor Doom's stats, I wonder how Reed would fare against GED. His Yellow would become absolutely useless, and he'd go after Black like there was no tomorrow to prevent Doom's nuke. Meanwhile, every Black and Yellow match Reed makes will simultaneously heal Doom and feed Doom's two actives, so Reed will hope to stunlock Doom. Yeesh that sounds like a horrible matchup.

I try with my Mr F at 3/4/5 but after trying 8 times with black Ap boost, and different kinds of colour damage boos including all colour damage boost, I still couldn't beat Doom. I have a much easier time and is able to win with few boost and maybe 2 to 3 tries before his rework at 2/3/5 level 140 then now which is at 3/4/5, lv 190. No matter how I try to deny Doom's colour, he always obtain enough AP to use all his abilities. This prove that Mr F is really being nerfed.

I decide to try one more time at the crash with MrF at 3/4/5, Lv 190 with +2 Green and Black AP, +50% Yello wnad Red Damage and +60% Match Damage. This time I manage to get 1 Imaginaut early and later 1 more, gaining enough special tiles for 2000+dmg plus damage from Strike and attack tiles from Imaginaut. All with minus 1/4 health from MrF and Doom fire his black and blue once.

278, Got it in two. The first Doom got two Diabolical Plots off. The next match I got the black for an Imaginaut early, paired with Doom putting strike tiles on the board early. Saved the blue for when I had tiles for the Imaginaut, stunned doom, collected more blue for another stun and got to finish it off the turn right after Doom collected enough purple for a Diabolical Plot. 

I tired, but my 1/0/3 lvl 111 Mr F is just too weak.
