Nightcrawler - Ignore the Recharge node. Use a good parry heavy champ or a parry double medium with anyone and you can clear him without losing any health except for the parry damage. I use Archangel.
Longshot - Any champion. Just watch out for his unstoppable prompt. You can parry him while he's unstoppable and just wait for it to expire. Void can help you on this one.
Use Corvus for NC. Charge to sp1 then hit into him until he evades. Back off then parry medium sp1. Builds space and gets you first persistent charge then build to sp2 and hit him with a couple of those. To maintain space you can just dash at him and fire your sp2 as you get close rather than waiting for him to come to you.
Longshot I use she hulk to slow him but you could use capiw as he can hit into him and nullify the unstoppable. Parry heavy for safety as you know you will have a kinetic charge.
He can’t nullify it as it is passive, but he can just parry without giving ground or taking block damage. Still good but for a different reason.
I AGREE with NF on Nightcrawler, I used IMIW since he has problems evading both. The parry, heavy thing only works when parry is working, which is almost never. It's nice to be able to do on the 2% of the time that it works though. Good luck!
I used Apocalypse on Nightcrawler and had no issue, just do a couple 4 Hit Basic Attacks to build up the Evade Reduction then Charge Power to an Sp2 then Sp1 and he's ko'ed by then (though I know not everyone has him). For Longshot I used Red Hulk, mine is Max Sig so even if I make a Mistake his Physical Resistance Tanks most of it as well his Incinerate Resistance and Shrug Off makes Longshot's Sp2 Incinerate useless.
I used the Domino trinity with Nick Fury and Deadpool (because I run suicides). Domino can destroy every single fight, although Red Hulk can finish the some fights faster.
What are the fights Red Hulk is good for? And is he usable as an unduped r3?
like others said, Nightcrawler can be handled by anyone using just parry heavy.
Longshot can be solo’d by a decent number of champions, you just have to keep in mind the unstoppable timer.
I’m doing Legendary with Domino trinity. Domino easily melts NC with parry heavy.
Rulk solos Longshot (mine is 5 star, R4, unduped). Just 5 hit combos, wait out unstoppable, use SP2 to regen some health. Its better to bait out the defender’s SP1 than SP2, but either is fine. I’ve ended the fight at between 5% - 40% health several times, so keep that in mind.
I've been killing NC with Warlock, Sentinel would work too. With Warlock just charge to SP3 or SP2 and throw it at him while he is infected. He'll die quickly.
Longshot I do with Doom or NF. Sometimes CAIW but hes maxxed sig. Human Torch is also a great option if you use his pre-fight ability (cuz I believe Longshot is immune to regular incinerate, but not to the passive nova flame incinerate) and he should do short work of Longshot too, maybe even better than Void or CAIW. The key to defeating Longshot IS TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE UNSTOPPABLE TIMER AND NOT ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE BOTH UNSTOPPABLE. Just Block ( hence why CAIW and Doom are good, high block proficiency ) or Evade when you are both unstoppable , because even if you do get good hits on him during this phase; he will also get some good shots on you, and his hit harder than yours so you'll always be on the losing end.
I'm surprised you found NC and Longshot as the hardest though ... for me it was Rogue. Spent quite a few units figuring out how to counter her with Doom.

Void just wrecks Rogue. Parry to 3 strike heavy. The reach is great so even if you are slightly slow to get it off you can still usually catch her with it. Then you can launch 2nd heavy from almost anywhere to take care of last hit. Then just fight normally.
