Punisher 2099 was amazing. He has such good fight control that he can easily lock Cassie down for long stretches of time. The only thing to watch out for is that it can be really hard to push Cassie to her SP2 since you give her so little power, so you'll probably have to deal with her power detonations (or whatever they're called) from time to time. The upside is that you can usually hit her uninterrupted for quite a while before she reaches another special, so you have time to get rid of those detonations. All in all the easiest objective for me despite me thinking that it would be the hardest since I didn't have any of the champions that people suggested.
Good call on P2099. I tried him at first and didn't think it'd work. But read your comment and tried again and got the solo on first try... barely.
Another one of these fights, and yet another one full of bugs. This is getting quite riddiculous at this point
What bugs
Not sure if this is what they're referring too, but at least with Red Skull, after an SP3 she just charges her heavy indefinitely. Not sure if it's something with HIS SP3 that's triggering it or what.
Ok, bug here. Parry is not switching or even turning on the passive on a lot of parries. I have one in pacify, but the global says nodes can't be affected by AA.
I found Red Mags the easiest to do, but he was also my third time through the fight so I was very familiar by that point. Overall this wasn’t too bad and fun once I got in the rhythm of it all.
Every once in a while I just get completely baffled. The entire forum thinks this is a cake walk and I can’t find a rhythm to this fight to save my life. Or if it’s red mags… how do you deal with the crush passive trying to parry heavy?

It’s like I am playing a different Wasp fight.
Don't parry when it's active , just wait it out, you just need a few prowess before you can easily get to 35 without having to parry her .

Right there with you. This fight just didn’t compute for me. Lack of sleep and lack of time to watch videos on the fight probably contributed.

When you get the crush, it has a few seconds before it resets, so you can back off again. Just watch your buffs/debuffs and make sure you don't back too much. When in doubt, throw some light/medium hits at her to give yourself a little space and time. All you need are 2 SP2s and she's basically down.
BTW, love the name. Son and I are in a rewatch (first watch for him) of Burn Notice right now.

It took me a while to get the rhythm.
For red mags, don’t swipe back twice and you don’t deal with the crush.
Hero 2024: Dust solo. Build to sp3, sandstorm, sp2, then sp1s for duration of sandstorm. Again be patient and watch that panic node
This is the info I came here for. What star/rank is your Dust? My best champ for this one is 7R1
I’ve genuinely never used dust on attack so had to look up a guide lol. Mine was 7r2 awakened but the sig doesn’t matter. Pretty much you wanna build to sp3 get to 99 sand passives throw the sp3 to activate sandstorm, throw a sp2, then spam as much sp1 as possible until the sandstorm runs out. I got her down by the end of the second cycle doing this. You don’t really have to worry about the special miss thing while you’re ramping because you’re mostly just doing basics to ramp.

It took 2 revives for me with my R4 red mags. Just kind of gave up…struggled with the parry heavy/crush/power sting timing/random SP1’s into my block even to put the debuffs on me.
Now I have 2 weeks I guess to try to dent the actual fight mechanics. 2-3 energy refills tonight showed me multiple ways of how not to do the fight.
Magneto was a solo after several attempts. It always seemed like the AI behaved differently after my first SP3, making it harder to build back up to the second one. But, ultimately got it.
I tried both Shocker and Punisher 2099. The annoying thing is that Miss can still occur on the heavy during the SP2 stun, making it a waste. Ultimately I elected to go with Punisher 2099. Managed to take off 50% in one goal, but then had to waste several revives as the Crushed debuff kept seeming to be in effect even though I was sure I hadn't dex'd twice.
For hero, I tried Dust, Spiderpunk, and Ironheart. Spiderpunk is a little bit annoying here, has his evade mechanic means that you don't trigger Pursuit/Vigilance on your first parry, so that wastes time. Additionally, his debuffs fall off quicker so his damage is neutered. I ultimately plowed onwards with Ironheart. It is a long fight since you aren't able to get more than 4 debuffs with it falling off, but if you do a few SP3s you'll get some indefinite debuffs. This then let me have more reliable SP2 damage without worrying about the basic attack debuffs falling off.

Solo with Mags also and 3 revives with Nega.
Other than that though, I have no clue.
Omega Sentinel
Dust
Red Mags

I used red mags, negasonic and ultron

I used a 7* r1 and took 90% in one try, could have been a solo but I screwed up
