Your latest fun team combination

If it helps regarding MThor, any cascades created by her at the start of the turn add a combo point to Shang-Chi but do NOT count as a match for keeping the combo going. so if you don't make an additional match then so long combo. Has caught me out a few times!

I think that's an order of operations thing, like with the other Thor.  If you put Thor after Shang-Chi, matches made during the cascade will count for maintaining his combo points.

Same result after swapping their order around

HawkEyeball is a meta pick 2 , whose the best third, Apoc?

I don't know if "the best" but I enjoy Abigail--with all the countdown and repeaters you're constantly getting health and destroying opponent AP

Don’t discount the recommendation for Blob. I can’t tell you how many wins I am receiving in Simulator, but it’s effect is far more significant than any 5* third as of now. 4* Rogue is a great option as well and was my first choice as a third. But Blob adding his own cd tiles, board shake, and impeccable bulk really acts as the defense Hawkeye needs to survive once Gargantos goes invisible. I’m sure there are some teams to make short work of this trio, but if the point is to have a balanced offense with defense against the current meta it is difficult to find a better third with Hawkeyeball. YMMV

So I have a new easy node CL10 team.  Well a replacement for my old team.

The old team was Knull Polaris and R4G.  It served me well for almost a year to power through easy nodes and some harder nodes quickly.

Well today Knull’s only purpose has been decimated.

Kamala Khan has sent him into the bench abyss.

On matching special tiles her direct damage crushes then Polaris usually wipes up the rest.

No waiting for special tile resolutions, no waiting for cooldown tiles to be generated. No more waiting for beginning of turn damage resolution.

Better yet this team work really well against non-movers on the harder nodes.

Once the board starts getting filled up KK green is just wonderful and she is also a battery to get any needed stuns off.

So goodbye Knull, may you rest in bench next to Ultron for eternity.

Absolutely agree , found this team a few weeks ago. I’ve got her at 12.8 covers so she will be my final champ but for the future she can definitely be a new part of meta teams .

Boosted gargantos, with hawkeye, and boosted infinity cap as a 3rd has been a fun in pve this event.  After garg nukes 2 enemies cap's red nuke will unlock and by this time you'll have a boat load of red ap.

I don't know if it's like overly fun per se, but since I have him champed I was using Moon Knight/iHulk/5torm in simulator so that hulk and storm would feed moon knight green and black. It worked, but even with those AP generators it was still not quite as fast as I'd like. I also was using iHulk and Carbage with him so that you'd be passively making enemy specials he might steal, but invariably matches would wrap up well before I had 10 purple to fire, so your mileage may vary there.

Shang-Chi plays exactly like 2* Bullseye (I often use 2*Magneto/Hawkeye/Bullseye in ddq nodes chasing match-5 cascades for Speedshot before somebody questions who would use 2* bullseye on purpose) and Karnak, so if you have any experience playing those characters he isn't very different to learn. And if you are running him with Onslaught/Sersi it's also a pretty auto-pilot win with all that incidental board shake. But he's more technical than than an Okoye based team.

Probably mentioned or noted before , but Lady Thor5, KK5 and Polaris have made PvE so easy it’s actually disappointing to play with them . Now I know 90% of the players would love a team you play mindlessly that goes winfinite in 4-5 turns because it relies on passives and special tiles , but characters that require thought and planning like Shang are what makes a game fun and challenging with a better feeling of accomplishment. (my Thor was only 11/13 , KK 453 and it already was my fastest clear )

I've used Thor and Polaris a few times, I find it a bit disappointing when Polaris fills all the tiles with SAPs, and Thor has nowhere to put new charged tiles.

It happens, which is why Kamala as the third doing massive damage per SAP makes it an extremely short battle . 

I’m really enjoying FosThor and Negasonic for pick2 PVE nodes at the moment. I wouldn’t say the matches are quick but it’s a pretty winfinite combo with insanely long cascades caused by Negasonics yellow passive when firing Jane’s yellow.
I usually incidentally collect enough green to fire Negasonics countdown through a couple of these cascades and can instantly blow it up to add another 6 charged tiles to the board by firing any of Janes abilities.
Most matches I’m easily getting to ~50 destroyed charge tiles which then means that Jane’s red is a MASSIVE nuke (50-60K), for cheap, which makes for a nice finisher. 

Playing around with some 5* Jean teams in simulator. Right now I'm enjoying Sersi 5/5/3 || Jean 3/5/5 || Professor X (4*) 5/3/5.

The loop here is chasing match-5s and special tiles. You want to take a color off the board quickly with Sersi, either yellow or black probably but any non red, purple, or green will do. Depending on what you are starting with, or is prevalent on the board, chase either green or purple. Sersi can add any color to the board on green (and pump specials which Phoenix is making on red,and X is making anytime a power is fired, and Sersi is doing based on what colors are in play), and Phoenix can make a solid amount of red by using purple that will create cascades and strikes. Anytime you get a match-5, professor x uses his big brain to do damage and generate 4 strongest color AP which are going to be either green or purple depending on if you have a better Jean or Sersi, either are useful, and Sersi will make a countdown that'll do a big hit if you lose the combo. This is weak defense team because it requires you to spam powers beyond 1/color, but you can get it to go winfinite pretty regularly. Alternately you can swap Nightcrawler in for Jean and then you want to put purple everywhere.
