What did you learn in the Nightmare Challenge?

💬 Discussion
  • Hawkgirl was key in last node. Only G10 but still made the win possible.

  • Might need to build Grodd as defense against counterstrikes next time.

  • Turn Meter manipulation and Stuns are critically important against the overpowered Nightmare Toons.

  • G11, even RB1 is not enough.

What else?

I learned Impulse is better than he gets credit for. On the second to last node, last wave, I couldn't stun Azrael before he got debuff immunity and he killed everyone on my team except Impulse, who had stacked up an insane amount of permanent evasion ups and ended up soloing both Azrael (full shields, fully overhealed) and Etrigan (fully overhealed). It took a long time, but he single handedly won that round for me, haha.

I noticed lots of people recommending Impulse.

Haven't heard of anyone using Dove though.

I think Dove will be much more usable once I get enough frags to take her to L3. I put the first two legendary points into her 4th and 5th abilities, so once she gets a couple turns all of her evasions are gone. If I had her 1st legendary then I think she would be much better just because she'd be so hard to hit.

That might be my fault for prioritizing her passives, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Funny. A few months ago that's what people said about Impulse.

yeah I realized of that cause my team is G10 and when I couldn't stun Arkkis I attacked him with Impulse...untouchable

What I learned, I could only get past 2 fights. I learned my toons sucked ass.

Had a good time in the Nightmare Challenge. Had to try multiple times on the last two nodes.

Will this difficulty lead to a new type of Tier List of characters best suited for this type of event?

Those counter-preventatives are no laughing matter. I need Brainiac.

Also getting legwork out of Chemo. Speed down and tmd is beeg.

Edit: Cassandra Cain can straight go to Hell.

This is the nightmare challenge I wanted.

I used Chemo in some of the earlier rounds.

Problem in the later rounds was, if Azrael had Debuff Immunity, then Chemo couldn't do anything against him.

My team was Hal, Hawkgirl, Killer Frost, & Grodd. It was smooth sailing. Stuns, stuns, and more stuns. By the last wave of each node, Grodd‘s 3rd skill took out everyone.

Looks like Stun might be the essential skill for the Nightmare Challenges.

I swapped Hal put for MMH, just so that I could have debuff immunity up for the HQMJ wave.

But other than that this team is what got me my final node after 3 failures.

Thanks

I might have to try this team for the last node. I can get to wave 4 and Harley is killing me

If you miss a stun on Arkkis or Azrael you are absolutely FUCKED.

Like when they are protected by Harley's Taunt and you can't reach them.

Yea. I didn't think the rewards were worth the gems spent in energy personally. But yea, Harley is a bitch.

After multiple frustrating tries on the first day and getting murdered on Node 11, I looked around for strategy for the next couple days and approached it differently. I finally used Lex SSS, Darkseid, Black Flash & Chemo for the last two nodes. I’ll probably have to do the same next month; and by that I mean that I wait and listen for ideas, strategies and approaches to proper team compositions.

2.) Turn Meter manipulation and timely stuns are the key, especially 🆚 Azrael. Timing it so that BF had his 2 ready for Azrael was tricky, but once I got that then Chemo with more slow down, I just stunned Azrael to death with my Darkseid and then reset everyone’s meters before the opponent Darkseid took his turn. Rinse and repeat until the opponent’s Darkseid was dead. Chemo truly helped deal with Harley too.

3.) I had literally zero problems with really anyone else until the final stages.

4.) I need to take care to level up more characters, if only for this, each month. It was brutal!

That Dove mastered the Ultra Instinct.

Can't finish 11. Shiva kills someone right out the gate every time.

Impulse goes first before her if you have him geared up with enough legendary.

This event really drives home how broken some characters are.

Cassandra Cain chief among them.
