So it seems like a lot of us are running our top teams to beat all the nodes in the test run of EofS…
Personally I am using the same 3 characters (Kamala/Steve/IM40) to run through EVERY node as they are my best bet to get through the long haul grind without burning through health packs. With the exclusion of the “trivial” nodes I’m not even using my JV squad teams to experiment with different team ups.
So just wondering how many of us are still using the bulk of our lineups…
I’m using the same 3 characters, except for essentials. But honestly, I’ve always done that, even before this test. I dunno, I’ve just always gone for boosted characters, unless the choices really suck.
I’ve been using 4thor im40 kk every node. It’s really sad that i have a huge roster and sure i could use other teams to beat the nodes but that will almost undoubtedly eat up health packs so why bother with anything else? Thank God it will be over in a few days
3* Bullseye has been getting some use in the wave missions, but for the high level missions I just use IF/HB. And I seem to remember Cyc/DD creating some ambush shenanigans with HB. So, 5?
Jean 5*
Falcon 3* (best against countdown tiles and team wthout hero-that-make-moves)
Beast (often with Thor 3*, and Kamala)
Iron fist (with black panther)
Loki or/and ant-man if i need to steal special tiles.
I think those are the most frequently used chars in this event.
For survival nodes winfinity since once it gets going I don’t have to worry about wolvie poping up and getting hit with A slash.
Everything else has been KP, 4Thor, IM40. Even the goon nodes since I can get 12 yellow so fast and then I don’t have to worry about everyone else.
I am also only doing the survival nodes once since I don’t want to grind them down for points and no rewards.
Non-essential nodes = ONLY Charlie’s Angles every time (Prof X, Scarlet Witch, GSBW)
Essential Nodes = Ghost Rider, Beast, Ms Marvel, Falcon, Blade
My scaling is too high to even bother testing other teams, especially since I can’t use OML to tank three colors and heal it all back. The fights would take too long, and I’d lose too much health each fight.
Maybe once Wolverine becomes playable again I’ll change things up, but right now even though I have an almost max leveled 3 star roster, a few barely usable 3 stars, I’m sticking to the cheap tactics of Charlie’s Angles because it saves on health packs and you can win fights quick with it. Still have to deal with the bullshit that is Wolverine and 2 red goon feeders, which means I take a 6K Adamantium Slash by turn 4 or 5.
And then there’s Caltrops, the most broken skill in the entire game… It should only hit the character in front, not the whole team. That makes no sense. Pretty damn frustrating.
The same amount I normally use, which is about 10-15. Helps that I purposefully level out my roster, so most of my good characters are somewhere between 104-144 (with 3*
at 168 so that I could re-spec her and because there were some extra covers). So I’ve used Storm, 2* Mags, 2* Thor, IM40, GSBW, 2 and 3* Torch, Hulk once, She-Hulk to deal with attack tiles, 2* and 3* Cap/Ms Marvel, and Beast. I think the highest level I’ve faced so far is 250. And around 50th place, even though I don’t have a Ghost Rider. Would have been higher if I hadn’t eased up playing today because life got in the way.
I tend to find a team that works well with the boosted characters, and then use it consistently throughout the event. This time it’s Cyclops, Iceman and Elektra. They are doing very well so far.
My Elektra is level 229, so she tanks black and Purple (Iceman is level 250 since I only have 12 covers and Cyclops is championed). I pretty much only use Shadow Step, and only when I happen to have black AP anyway. It is quite effective though since it protects against Caltrops, so there’s no reason not to use it when you have the AP. It also works quite well when a bunch of Shurikens are coming your way. One time I got Elektra in front when a Meteor Hammer was about to resolve, that was hilarious.
