So how is everyone in SCL 9 enjoying 515 Bolt, Medusa and Lockjaw?
Even knowing it was going to be there ahead of time clearing it last night was a special joy and the prospect of grinding it tonight fills me with such excitement.
@Brigby I know you started a roster a while back - are you up to scl9 yet? If so how did you enjoy that particular node?
i was lucky to have a champ SL, which deals 18k AOE dmg. i brought it Rulk and vulture,2 green generator for SL to blast them with milano. it was difficult, i think i used 2-3 health packs for 4 initial clears but it was relatively fast.
Champed Starlord, Daredevil (with low starting health) and Thanos won convincingly. Gather purple and green, make tiles with DD, once you’ve got enough purple, match Medusa’s countdown, flip and stun with DD, kill everyone.
Thanos champed SL and RG. Took out BB first. Boosted all AP with MBW TU. Stun the dog asap and kill BB. Did this in SL9. My clears I went 4/5. 1 wipe. Grind was 3/4. 1 wipe. I think this is the hardest 5E node on the hardest sub of any pve.
Vulture and Prof X. It was messy, but it worked. Twice I got down to just Prof X and had to grind it out (thankfully I had enough special tiles to make it worthwhile).
I had a really confusing moment with this node where I put down my ipad for a moment after making a move, and came back to see my champed T4or had been reduced from full health to dead, with the rest of the team unscathed. I’m not sure who on that team is actually capable of that other than maybe Medusa with a hair meddle leading to an unimaginably huge cascade.
I managed my first four clears with Coulhawk (my SL is 10 covers and at 325, so acts a bit like a normal under-covered 5* when boosted.) When doing my final grind, I wiped twice due to bad luck. I was playing SCL9 and didn’t foresee getting top 50, so I just let it be after clearing it once.
Did 5th clear in SCL9 with 3* Gambit, Silver Surfer and champed SL, the rest were with level 435 5* Gambit instead. Keep yellow charged off the board, down Lockjaw->BB->Medusa, clear strikes with Gambit.
I was only in SCL8 but I ended up using champed Nova & 3* Gambat with my 2/2/2 level 255 SL. SL would use the pink to steal any attack tiles or just steal some AP if I had a bunch of pink. Nova would make strike tiles & send them flying for 2 turns. I was somehow matching so much red I was basically sending someone flying every turn. Didn’t use any health packs once I started using that team. Kinda wishing I had tried SCL 9.
