There’s a team that I use for tough battles as often as possible. It’s my “Stormfinite” team: 
,
, and 
. I won’t take credit for originating the team. It was shared to me months ago by a friend on Facebook. I’d give him credit here but don’t know his user name and won’t break his anonymity. Even he, by his own admission, didn’t come up with it on his own. It’s terribly efficient and I’m asked about it once in a while so here’s the details to using it.
Hulk 3/5/5. I know it sounds weird to not have five in Hulk’s 
but if things go right, the only power Hulk will use is his passive 
. You want to make every match with him, even if it is the 
that is useless to your team, so he’s out front to take the damage. There’s a couple of reasons for this. First, he needs to take damage to activate his passage and change tiles on the board to 
. Second, Storm is easy to KO so you don’t want her taking damage. There is an exception: If you have the chance to make a five-match, do it because it doesn’t matter what color it is because you’ll be able to make another match. You’ll almost never need (or even want) to use Hulk’s active powers. His
isn’t as good as Storm’s and his 
stinks under most circumstances. Sometimes, just for fun, I’ll let Hulk finish off the final enemy in a round. For all the damage he’s taken, he deserves it. 
Storm 5/5/3. Storm is the character you’ll use powers of the most. Use her
and only her green. It does damage, shakes up the board, and most importantly generates AP for any tile it destroys. Use her green whenever it is charged. Use her 
as a secondary attack & board shake-up. Only use her
when you feel you have to because it will screw up Kamala’s 
. Every power that Storm uses activates Kamala’s passive to heal the team. That’s important. (It’s good to note that two-star Storm can be used on this team–I love her 
!–but you have to be super careful to keep her safe because she’s KO’d even easier than the three-star version.)
Kamala Khan 5/5/3. Again, we’re going to ignore her green. Kamala is there to use her
to create
and for her passive
to heal the team. You should avoid making purple matches yourself unless it’s safe (a minions-only opposing team where none of them can attack). Instead, you’re relying on Storm’s green attack to generate purple AP for Kamala to use.
Once this system starts going, the opposing team just stops having turns. You’ll keep firing Storm’s green. When it runs too low, you use Kamala’s purple to generate more green. If you need to, Storm’s yellow also alters the board to hopefully make beneficial matches.
There are drawbacks. First, it’s not a quick win; be prepared for it to take a few minutes. Second, you’re usually going to be using a 
after every battle for Hulk. Next, it’s weak against stunners because having Hulk stunned, especially early on, really messes up the game plan. Jean Grey and Iceman are absolute banes to this team. You do need Hulk to be, well, STRONGEST ONE THERE IS! If Storm or Kamala are boosted beyond him, it makes it difficult to keep him out front and absorbing the damage. Finally, unless you sub in the
Storm, you’re going to end up with a lot of useless
AP.
So there you go. Stormfinite. I’ll update this if I remember something that I missed (I already have twice!) but this should help you against tough opponents in most circumstances. Good luck and have fun.
