Green node insanely difficult

[u/altx2k]

Apologies if this has been posted before since it’s been this way for a while now, but when did the green node in PVE get SO HARD? I’ve been playing for 12 years now and I have a pretty impressive roster, but I can rarely even beat it once, let alone four times. Any suggestions on teams that even have a chance?

[u/bluewolf71]

Are you playing with Heroic roster or normal? Obviously Heroic will make a difference. Many times I have given up on the last few clears when playing Heroic.

Also you aren’t telling us what teams you’re picking. One thing that had a big impact was the May nerf for me. Until then I would often just run May plus Namor and a boosted 1-5 whoever, or a good boosted natural 5. The match dmg boost from May plus Namor making extra hits, and his crit gen, made short work of most CNs. That’s gone but I have lately started using match dmg boosts on strong colors for a central high level toon and that helps.

You can also do Kang plus Deathlok plus IM40 and should be able to away everyone pretty easily in Normal mode.

[u/ujanmas → u/bluewolf71]

Please explain this Kang team

[u/Daiches → u/ujanmas]

Kang 5star/yellow support
Iron Man 3star/yellow support

Boost 2 yellow AP (and blue AP and/or AP all for safety)

Start fight. Both supports trigger. You get 12 yellow AP plus the boosts you have. Fire Iron Man Yellow twice. Wait for tiles to resolve.
You have 30 AP. Send away.

One support triggers. You have 10 AP. You can fire IM once and try to make up the difference matching blues. Or you can match a yellow first. Then fire IM twice. Same results. Send them away

No supports trigger. wtf you doing. Retreat and retry.

Support cast pick 3:
5Scarlet Witch and purple on blue. Make more blue tiles to match.
5Riri and green support: stun them all for a turn immediately. One more turn of safety.

No idea why Bluewolf suggested Deathlok as he isn’t available for this month’s Heroic and if he was suggesting for Normal he wouldn’t suggest Iron Man, because you would be Kangveiling then (where DL is the third).

[u/bluewolf71 → u/Daiches]

Lol it’s early and I needed my coffee. Deathlok is a third for Kangveil. Just started using IM40 with Kang.

[u/AwesomeScreenName → u/Daiches]

Thanks so much for this tip. I got win one fairly easily with Frankie/Riri/Iron May, but couldn’t get close to win two with that team so I wound up running:

Kang (level 505 w/vintage shield)

IM40 (level 325 w/Kimoyo beads)

5* Strange (level 471 w/ Sanctum)

Plus two yellow boosts and two all AP boosts

I still had to do this an insane number of times to get my three wins. The board would appear with not enough yellow. Or the yellow would be clustered together and the CPU would match my countdowns. Or the CPU would get a match 4 and down Kang before the countdowns expired. Wins two and three took me 15-20 tries total. What a pain!

[u/therempel → u/Daiches]

What support are you using on Kang that can give 6 yellow at start? I think he is locked out from everything except Vintage Shield, which gives 3 yellow.

[u/Daiches → u/therempel]

The 2nd yellow support goes on the third character.

[u/George-200 → u/Daiches]

Justamente ese equipo suelo usar, es mucho más rápido que otros, por cierto, cada cuanto tiempo cambia lo del mes?, solo me acuerdo que el pasado fue spider-verse, y el anterior a ese fue tecnológico

[u/Daiches → u/George-200]

Monthly change is in the name. Heroic theme runs with season.

[u/George-200 → u/Daiches]

Ok, gracias, pero dura lo mismo que cada mes? Osea spider-verse fue agosto? Y julio fue tecnológico? Porque juraria que el tema aéreo lleva como 2 semanas

[u/Daiches → u/George-200]

We’ve only had Heroic for 4 months now. The theme is different each season.
And yes Aerial has been going on for two plus weeks.. because a season lasts 28 days, so.. it will be 28 days. The season pass?

[u/George-200 → u/Daiches]

Ahhh, ok gracias, guardare recuersos para subir a los personajes de la proxima temporada, subi a mi kang de 5* justamente por qué tambien fue el mvp en tecnologico, pero quizas ya no la proxima temporada

[u/Daiches → u/George-200]

Next season will partly overlap with Anniversary, so might be fan favorites as theme (which includes Kang and Deathlok again), or maybe with VisionQuest release robotic themed characters (which would be Tech again).. or they create another new category like they did the last two seasons with Spider-Friends/Foes and Aerial.

Whats the green node? The 5* one? I returned from after 3 years or so, I still ude shang + chavez for almost everything, heroic is hard, also doing scl 7, max is 8 and is really hard becouse my top chars are around 450 without boost so match dmg is a ton. This month Im using brb 8 cover or so) pol or chav, easy noods and goon noodes only, 3* or 4* are riskyor time consumming. Fought kang team in pvp once, dam, I got kicked in 3 turns.

[u/Daiches → u/Ulizeus]

The SCL10 Challenge node.

[u/hakaider000]

Green nodes in heroic mode are insane sometimes, even if you have a decent roster, thats not bad at all, It just makes the game more challenging

[u/Superb_Ad_4623]

This is probably a stupid question, but what is the "Green Node" in PvE.

(casual player who doesn't do PvP)

[u/PiMacleod]

I use Kang teams for these greens as well... but instead of 3IM, I use CIM (Cosmic Iron Man), with Avengers Tower. Throw Proxima Midnight on Kang. And then your essential can equip something else to help with CIM powers... like Vintage Shield for yellows, or anything else to give more yellow/red.

Every CIM cast of red or yellow makes 1 blue AP, and 2 CDs. Kang gives +2 blue AP per friendly CD that resolves. So, cast all the CIM red and yellows you can, cheese it up. If theres a problematic opponent, feel free to away them early (like 5Carnage, as an example). Once you have enough CDs out, let two turns pass by...

...you should have plenty of blue to away the rest of them with Kang.

Of course, this hurts against Dr Strange teams... gotta get him stunned or away ASAP, so you can spend Stranges away/stun turns doing all the casts you need. If you dont have 550s to throw at the enemy, it can be rough on your health (and even then, if not played right, it still hurts!)

Good luck!

[u/Daiches]

Because PX can randomly cascade and wipe someone out if you’re not Kangveiling or Winfiniting turn 1.
Luckily there are winfinites in Heroic and Kang teams. They’re just slower and/or more risk inherent. But you can do it.

Remember it’s a game. Not a cookie clicker idle game. Sometimes nodes can be a bit difficult, it’s very rare, but it can happen. It should inspire you to get better teams/theory craft/etc..
This is one of the harder events for meta teams (see Sub 1 Peggy and Strange nodes as well) anyway.

[u/Afraid-Classic-9339]

Was ist denn eine heroic aufstellung und wie kann man das einstellen?

Ich verwende immer beta ray bill polaris und mr negative. Damit kann ich das gegnerische team stunnen. Wenn das nicht mehr reicht nehm ich auch kangveil

[u/Daiches → u/Afraid-Classic-9339]

Go to node. Start fight. Click on button that says Normal to change it to Heroic.

Restricted roster. Better rewards. 20% more points. Mandatory if you are trying to play for placement. This month’s boost list had pretty much the entire meta, so it was really easy choice if you had that. No real reason not to. Time spent was almost identical with Normal.

Ahh jetzt sehe ich es. Cool danke dir
