Of course you need lots of board luck. But them's the breaks when you are playing against level 575 opponents with a **** 4* loaner, a token 5*, and 1x 4* champ. That is a difficult thing to do.All I can say is, to the extent possible, make your own luck with my (2) above. Play extra carefully. When the lower portion of the board is favorable to you (ie has no dangerous matches in colors you are trying to denh the ai), make matches at the top and towards the edges to leave only bad options for the ai. Don't chase colors if the result will give the enemy good matches. if you just grab the first match you see each time the ai will probably eat you alive. And remember that all that caution is necessary but not sufficient. You also need to get lucky.0

As for Day 3 nodes, 4* Wasp (3/5/5) definitely work. Aim for 8 blue ap, follow by black charged tiles, yellow, red and finally green matches. If you want to speed up, use +2 blue ap. Use Storm's yellow to create more black tiles, while using her green to destroy tiles to make matches. I stun Starlord first usually, followed by whoever is the next dangerous.THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! While my Storm didn't hang around long, I did finally manage to get through that 5 star node. Took a couple of tries and Nega/Wasp were hanging in by their finger nails, they managed to beat them.Did I remember to say 'THANK YOU!!!!'?1 -
Don't get me wrong - I completely understand the Wasp tactic but you need things to go your way big time to keep up the stun lock. Not happened for me yet.0

That only works if youj actually get one. Everytime someone gives me one, I get a Red DP TU.1 -
Speaking of Whales...I actually don't have enough DP points to do it right now! I mean...how did that happen? I don't even use super whales that often...guess I had better break out 3DP some more...

OJSP said:Definitely. It takes 9-10 days to accumulate enough points to use the super whales.
It probably wont take that long as I am not a million miles away from what I need but it certainly is a pain as a lack of an option for that horrible Thing node.

They just made Day 3 easier or harder by changing their teamup from 3* Iron Fist's purple power to 3* Sam Wilson's purple power.0

I almost always use Deadpool for my Dat Required, just to make sure he has points when needed.

I tend to mess around in DDQ on Dat Required and Big Enchillada - sounds like I will have to have a 3DP every day for a while so this doesn't happen again.

Thanks for all the suggestions: Black Bolt got me past the Riri node and Quantum Realm gave me enough purple to whale the Mordo one.I agree that not everyone should be able to finish every event, but I got to ask: who should be able to do it?After 5 years and getting a full roster with 15 5* champs and 100 4* champs, I assumed I should be able to finish SHIELD training (as I've done ever since the Kraven one). Have I just been lucky for 2 years and is this event only supposed to be for people in the endgame phase?1

Have I just been lucky for 2 years and is this event only supposed to be for people in the endgame phase?I’d argue they made the LT easier to get now than it was before in SHIELD Training. They’ve also made getting new 4*s covered easier than ever before in the game as a whole, which is likely why they reduced the 4* reward in Welcome to Shield from what it was in SHIELD Training.I also think the event finally reflects Shield Training’s stated purpose, which was to reward those with deep rosters. They said that, but it wasn’t the case when progression was tied to getting the latest 4* at a certain level. Now you just need one cover. The access is there for everyone, but the better your roster, the better chance you have of winning. It’s no different than in Crash. It doesn’t matter how many champs I have if the one featured is not one I have well-covered.2

I agree with Daredevil on almost everything. (And fwiw, I have fewer 5* and 4* champs that you alfje, and have completed every 'welcome to shield so far). welcome to shield is not perfect, but it is definitely better at achieving demi's stated goals for the event than was shield training.Where I part ways with DD however, is on rewarding deep rosters. Welcome to shield is easier for very deep 5* rosters as having the essential 5* champed is a big help, even if just for meatshield purposes. But mostly this event has just rewarded (1) those who have Valkyrie, Yelena, or a handful of other characters that excel in this peculiar format, and (2) those who look at the forums/reddit/line to get advice about who to use.0

What I dislike the most is having 2 characters preselected for you. I get that you have to use the new character, but the second mandatory character can make or break a team. My lvl 255 Storm at 12k health was utterly useless against 100k+ health opponents. Sadly I had to whales it (again).1

Likewise my St5rm doesn't have the health to withstand the Thing node and Negasonic can't handle all 3 on her own - any 4* I bring is one cascade away from getting wiped. This looks like being the first one of these I will fail unless I get lucky before the event ends. That is OK, the 5* node is very challenging indeed and I have no expectations that I should definitely defeat it.

I tried Vulture but unfortunately when the other two die he eventually runs out of black and has to land - guess who has been getting free matches in the meantime and are filled up with lovely AP?

OJSP said:Isn't Vulture a good third character to have there? Storm should tank black, so he could go airborne early to build up APs for Negasonic. He should be safely airborne after a few turns.

Exactly. An undercovered Storm might tank over Vulture but that isn't going to help if the enemy get even just one single power fired against her. Negasonic is then left to try and take out the other three - she can take maybe one hit, probably not two before she is dead. Yes you can heal her but you can't suppress green, purple, red, blue and black all at once- somebody is going to get some AP and of course Mordo can take big advantage of Storm too.I guess one part solution is to level up Storm if you can but I think this would depend on future intentions to use her. I like her well enough that I might try that but even then her health is still not going to be that huge as an uncovered non champ.0
