**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

Potentially broken node in AW

Node in question: 28
Defender in question: Kitty Pryde

There's only two ways to counter this node as far as I know. Use a champ that doesn't crit (stun immune play style) or use Nimrod, who is still very new and not everybody has access to one.

I think this node combination is quite restrictive especially if you have to bring a counter for this fight specifically and there is literally no way to intercept her if she's above 3 prowess and you can't remove the prowess without getting hit or using Nimrod. I usually take mini bosses and the only champion I have that does not crit is a R5 Guillotine 2099 who does not find much use on mini boss island.

I personally would like to see this changed but I'm interested to see what everybody else thinks of it.

    10 members, surely 1 can bring a counter (a counter for 1 fight is nothing new).

    won't kitty never get to 3 prowess if you use g2099 or any non crit champ? or am i missing something

    That's what I pointed out. I can bring a champ just for her but since I take mini bosses, I can't afford to give one slot on my roster for a single use champ.

    If you're only taking mini's, why are you worried about this node?

    I'm more worried about apoc on that node since he'll start at 3 prowess and have his sp1 be fully unblockable.
    You beat me to it

    Nimrod (mode), war machine (sp1), and howard the duck+synergy, can potentially be a counter, since they have ways of removing prowess from defenders.

    That is an interesting definition of "broken".

    Hence the word 'potentially'. I'm looking for solutions here and most of you have pointed out some solutions already.

    Apocs sp1 can be dexed. Just need the right timing.

    That’s not broken, you have 9 other team mates who can bring a counter.
    That's one solution to it.

    No problems for me. Use Xbone, G2099 or Guardian

    How can it be ‘potentially’ broken when there are clear counters (that you identified yourself) for that node/defender combo.

    By your logic, any fight that you don’t bring the appropriate counter for is ‘broken’.

    Tigra op, also hold block until you get to a sp1 with war machine so you can remove the prowness
    I'm sure Swedeah can also do it with his vision with 5/5 collar tech and ghost can blitz it down on the off chance she's not banned.

    I respect the monke enough to not bring dodgy spiders to him. Plenty of other options for him, especially since his sp1 is very easy to deal with.
