Your roster is slightly higher leveled than mine, but I’ve had success with CStorm/IM40/Hood. My only losses, so far, have been to the crash bug.
I may try that then. I ran CStorm/2*Mag/BP, since Mags & Storm always worked so well together, but controlling Mystique’s AP seems to be of vital importance. I think I’ve only cleared it twice now so the scaling isn’t too out-to-lunch yet.
I really like what they did with this event in terms of the structure. I feel this is the best PVE format so far, it really is play at your own pace.
So, yeah. First try with Storm+IM+Hood worked fine. Ran it a second time.
Mystique got Infiltraion off on turn freaking 3 thanks to a cascade on turn 2 and of course the free blue every turn. The resulting cascade from that fueled that wretched Shapeshift / Masterstroke combo which one-shotted Hood and destroyed two of my three Recharge tiles in the process.
Feeder. Nodes. SUCK.
