I also want to note, and this is actually very important, WARs are very close in the higher you are, So asking for easier maps do not help, those of us on Tier 2 and higher.

We can always clear the map 100% even with new changes and so can the opponent regardless of placement.

We are almost 2700 War rating so im no newbie, and we actually need more nodes like this one to help make wars more challenging and not be so close, if you struggle to complete this new node then its obvious you need to go to a lower rated alliance.

I dont want to hurt no feelings here but AW is supposed to be about war, about the best of the best getting on top, and harder nodes help bump up the challenge.

For those asking what attacker counters a 4/55 Dusa on 30 ... I hear 5/65 Morningstar with 5 souls works pretty well [ @danielmath ]

And yes. Days of taking in trinity and being able to steamroll that path are over, how ever by no means the node is the *big issue* here.

It’s the players who do all the same tricks and head in aw without planning just cause they have been relaying on same champs for everything.

Ppl who know me, know that almost every thread I open gets deleted eventually, because I give Kabam a lot of grief, however this node isn’t something to rip your hairs out.

Instead of complaining and crying, community should be opening threads asking for advice on how to clear it.

Video or it didn't happen.

Alright, we will be waiting for your next video against a 5/65 Magik guy.

I wont be surprised if you never post it though.

Node 30 is alright. I, for one, am happy with the introduction of nodes that counter the trinity. Those who are relying on them are complaining just cause they can’t steamroll through AW anymore. Lol

Menkent

Like I said before, leave it as is for tiers 1-3. For the whales it's a challenge. For people down in the gold tiers this is brutal.

I would send someone at that node with a 455 magik if it’s hyperion and play magik style (u can test that that works in 5.2.4 masochism chapter—rogue miniboss).

If its Medusa, someone with a Morningstar, or maybe a magik. She’s harder for magik bc of her furies. But magik can also use an l3 to deal a lot of damage on them. Play her like she’s stun immune. Keep Medusa on the wall by hitting her when she’s blocking and baiting out her l1. Very hard fight, I don’t deny that. Using Morningstar would be an easier fight there I assume.

U just need 3 souls. But that’s my assumption too that MS would walk through her there.

The biggest problem is that people just want to have the same assigned paths every war and expect to not have to think. War is not aq. There should be some kind of strategy. It doesn’t take a ton of skill to run through 4* r5s and 5* r3s on easy nodes with 5* r5 blade or spark. Same thing happened with people who relied on scarlet witch and thor pre-nerf. All of a sudden they had to learn to fight and it was terrible for them.

Ya 3 souls would be enough because a 4/55 has so little health she'll die super quick. Against a 5/65 even the block damage is really rough so 4 souls helps

Ok in my experience most champions can be taken down by large magik. Vs hype you might want start with power 1 boost. Vs dusa play with heavy counters and use l3 only is what would work best on paper. Perhaps putting on suicides is viable way to increase damage and take em down

Boosts obviously advisable.

Domino was easy with starlord just need to fight with no parry , learn to intercept and manage her power bar well, don’t use l2, just l1 in order not to trigger masochism. That is about it I think.

Not every F2P player can spend full boost + reset suicides mastery unit for each war.

So is the problem people are complaining they can’t drop it with their 565 blade or 565 spark? That’s different from the node being too hard.

No it's the node itself being to hard. Who would you bring to counter a 4/55 Hyperion on that node or 4/55 Medusa? At least you can bring Quake to deal with a Magik and if you play right.

Masochism breaks Quakes legs.

Menkent

The "solutions" being presented are a very specific set of high rank 5* champs. Again, alliances down in gold 2 can't just tee up a 4/55 Morningstar. There should always be good and bad matchups for a node. If a node is flat out impossible without one of a very few champs at 5*, awakened, r4... that's a problem.

I agree here. I have a 455 quake and I have always found her to be a liability in war bc of limber mastery and mystic dispersion. Masochism would be even worse.

But aren't the defender also less powerful (not ranked as high) than what is found in T1 T2? The game scales accordingly. Or are you facing r4, high sig medusas at that level?

Tier? whats your alliance aw points?

Ny718 tier1

So it's explained because it isn’t bad for you, you have the best champions for all occasions and you never find a much stronger alliance than yours in the AW, at most you find another alliance on the same level. War is always good for you, so everything isn’t bad. Must be nice playing a fair AW, or an easy one sometimes.

On average, yes. But when there's one crazy node that can cut off exploration of about 1/6 of the map that's where anyone with half a brain will dump the r4 hype or Medusa in their group. I'm gold 1 and in our last war my 4/55/23 Medusa shut a guy down cold. Three kills and took MAYBE 10% damage. They didn't even bother reviving.

Now, part of this is strategic. Knowing this node is more difficult than the rest of the map and an important link we can effectively just ignore path 5. Sacrifice a few nodes to send someone in specifically to counter that one node. But what's the fun in that?

VanillaCoke

Are there health nodes added to this? I can definitely see SL doing some work here.

Are gold 2 allies facing 455 and 565 Medusa’s? Does node 30 at that tier have the souped up masochism?

Until people wise up and only leave a defender or 2 on paths 7,8,9 so you can’t build souls...

I’m in gold1 and didn’t die the whole aw season 2
I use 5/65 blade 4/55 sparky and 4star GR to clear path 5.
So today I encountered Magik 4/55 on that node with MD5 and she just destroyed my blade and sparky like it was nothing due to cornered her triggering limbo more then often and masochism it was just a BS fight it looks like they designed the node to counter blade and Archangel.
So today I also decided to also quit the game it’s just not fun anymore for me as F2P

If you can't kill a Magik with a Blade you have bigger issues. Hint: don't parry or use specials on a cornered node

Cornered isn’t the only problem. The amplified limbo based on the aspect of evolution is the problem. Danger sense can only prevent so much. When that limbo does trigger you are screwed. Limbo melted my 5/65 Blade. Didn’t take one hit, never made her bleed. Reminiscent of Magik war boss before Blade. Just limbo’d to death. This is tier 2 AW as well.

Hyperion is a whole different type of Mfer on that node.

If Blade is not the answer to Magik in this node, you should try Hulk Ragnarok. I think he could work.

For the same reason a Magik wouldn’t be good against Hyperion.

Menkent

Masochism makes it tricky. You basically need to parry to trigger the masochism then immediately hit the power lock... but now you've healed them. Much harder than normal.
