Should I dump some ISO into IW and hope it helps against QS? I am very concerned this will skew my scaling all out of wack.
Followup: tried about 6 times, unsuccessfully, but could see it was doable. Decided to heck with it, put some ISO into her (lvl 173) and tried a few more times, I think I got it right on try 9 or 10.
I got a Prof X blue cover from my token.

I beat it on the first try 2/2/3 147 IW with no boosts.
The fight is very straightforward. Just get your invisibility tile down and keep him from getting too many locked tiles. Direct matching away his tiles or using force bubbles+crush kept him from getting that far. It was a long match but overall an easy victory.
Can somebody please tell me why IW’s rival is Quicksilver? Do they hate each other in the comics, or is this just some contrived shit the devs put together so that QS has a chance with his AOE?
The match-ups are more based on matching/opposing in-game mechanics than any rivalries in the comics.
In that sense I actually think QS was a pretty inspired choice. Your invisibility is useful, but you have to make an effort beyond deny color X to keep his team damage ability from going off and damaging you.
I had a fairly easy time of it - managed it on the second try with my 3/1/4 IW. I took her to 120 for this, in the hopes that she’ll be able to tank a skill plus match damage, but didn’t end up needing to, since I got the needed yellow very quickly and never let my invisibility tile expire. It was so satisfying to see every QS skill miss after the last two times! I especially liked the actual Puzzle part of it - you needed to manage the QS locked tiles.
The token trolled me though and gave me a yellow IW, so she’s at 4/1/4 for now I guess
EDIT: For those struggling, remember to boost +2 R/Y (most important) and then boost match damage, since that’ll be how you do most of the damage if low levelled/covered.
I beat it on my eleventh try. My IW is 1/2/3, lvl 131. Basically you need to use the invisible ability and farm up blue and green. If he has at least 3 locked tiles use your blue, then green to remove the locked tiles AND you’ll need a bit of lucky to not die until you can farm up your yellow.
10th try, with a 2/1/1 level 94 IW. Advice from here was what got me through, yellow out as soon as possible, carefully save up blue and green. When 3 locked tiles down, place some bubbles near the locked ones then green them out of existence.
A bad board destroys you though, blue cascades are evil. PX Purple out of the token, he’s now 2/2/0 so that was worth it!
I got it on my fourth or was it fifth try with my now 168 3/2/3. No boosts.
Invisibility tiles and keep matching the locked TU’s. Rest is just being careful and matching your colours before he does.
Sadly, this is the end of my 4* DDQ experience, as my X-Force and IW are my only characters with enough covers to even have a chance.
Not anticipating any adverse PvE scaling issues from bringing her up to 168 from 70 and far above the average level of everyone - either way, too late now.
I have a level 199 IW, 5/4/2 so I used match damage boosts and won on my 2nd try. Tons of yellow to start, so I was invisible early and often. Just had to keep matching away the locked team ups and whittle him down slowly. He got his blue off once, but it wasn’t enough.
Merged two topics on the Invisible Woman and Quicksilver DPD encounter to keep things tidy. Please keep all discussion on the topic in this thread here. Thanks!
I used a level 100 3/5/5 Invisible Woman and was able to beat the node on my second try (with +2 B/P and R/Y boost) for those who are debating putting ISO into IW. I was able to survive one Supersonic attack (brought me down to 800 and change in the health point department though).
The key, as others have mentioned, is getting that yellow invisibility tile out as quick as possible and keeping an eye out for how many locked tiles QS has out. I imagine different builds and levels should be able to pull it off but it is very helpful to have 5 green covers. Good luck!
Remember: Quicksilver can use your Force Bubbles but not the other way around. You’ll really want to fire blue & green back-to-back, and try to pop any of his locked tiles that are out with them. Casting green with none of your bubbles down just gives him ammunition. Also, you may want to avoid putting Force Bubbles on a TU tile to make them clearly identifiable, but there is a slight difference in the graphic. His locked tiles have some faint lines along the top that looks a little like a knight’s visor, while Sue’s do not.
I gave it a few tries at 124 and bumped her up to 142 before succeeding.
