Well, it seemed a lot harder to me, but that is probably because this month I'm conducting an experiment. Because so many people have complained that TB (and even to a certain degree Cav before it) is very hard when you only use the tagged/boosted champs in each chapter, that's what I've been doing this month (which is something I haven't done in previous months).
Yeah after going through 1.1 through 2.2 full exploration so far, I would say that's not the best strategy.
Wouldn't that be highly variable? It's not just about tagged or boosted, it's also about whether they can take advantage of the node benefits. Not all champs are equal. e.g. #avengers has top tier to atrocious tier champs in it. Since most of the original champs have zero utility - they generally don't ramp easily or quickly.
Same thing as the class boosting nodes, not all champs trigger the benefits as easily or mitigate the node pitfalls either. e.g. Hercules is inarguably an amazing champ, but month to month he does not benefit greatly from the nodes themselves. Even solid to good tier champs like Odin and Angela ramp faster.
It would then be a matter of, do I have those champs ranked up?
Unless your account has every champ at 6r3+ it doesn't seem particularly controlled. This is coming from someone running a main and alt account. There is a huge difference in a stacked versus progressing account. My experience with the cross-fights that carry across to the boss fight - even with class disadvantage, they're significantly faster than "reasonable" counters.
