Beating Act 4

Hi guys, I'm quite new to the forums but no so much the game.
I started a few years ago and never got around to playing the Story Quests but recently I've tried completing them again.
Currently I'm stuck on Act 4, Chapter 2 and I'm finding the new nodes quite tough.
My current roster/best team consists of:
-5* Superior Iron Man
-4* Angela 4/40
-4* Yellow Jacket 4/40
-4* Dr Voodoo 4/40
-4* Colossus 3/30
So the question is, are there any ways to beat Act 4? Any hints or tips because I want to beat the whole act and get another 4-star champ from the rewards crystal.
Thanks in advance,
Phanominal.

That's because the 3rd special is only acrive if the local node or global node says so.
Act four is interesting and had its own challenges. Try to enjoy it; but you'll need to plan your approach:
Look at your mastery set-up. You will definitely need at least one point in Willpower for this Act. You'll find value in Petrify, Pacify and Despair as well. A lot of the people saying Act 4 was easy did it before Willpower was nerfed; and actually it's quite a lot harder now.
This is because a lot of the rounds inflict constant debuffs on you. I used to go through fights in act 4 and come out with more health than I started, purely due to Willpower; but you can't do that now. What causes buffs to change? If anyone using specials causes buffs to change, save your specials for when you need to change the game - like when your opponent picks up a 10-second Unstoppable buff! Bear in mind that your buff changes at activation - you can have a Fury buff when you hit activate; and a weakness buff when it lands.
There is a lot of playing with nodes in act 4, so my best advice is: Read the nodes in advance; both individual and global, before you choose a path. See who is buffing whom. There are some absurdly strong characters you absolutely must avoid - a regenerating Magneto in 4.2 somewhere; and a Juggernaut in 4.3.3. There are also some characters sitting on global nodes like Starburst that you probably want to take out of the game.
Some targeted nodes actually make particular minibosses weaker; so you'll want to avoid those. Often the shortest path will leave bosses and minibosses very strong; but you can choose a longer path with more fights to make the final boss fights less over-whelming.
Part attention to the story dialogue as you go.
Avoid any paths that look suspiciously empty; especially if Spiderman or Dr Strange tells you to be careful. Kabam put a lot of ambushes into these paths.
As for your champs, you don't say if any are awakened; so I'll assume they aren't. You may well find you make different teams for every chapter, depending on the buffs and rebuffs in force.
You'll get good value out of DV - a lot of people have a lot of buffs to envenom; and he has a reliable regeneration each fight.
Colossus will also be valuable; as he's resilient and bleed-immune.
Angela is as hard as nails, and has some Regeneration so she's great.
SIM and YJ don't have any great abilities relevant to this quest; but use them if you want.
Re-evaluate the rest of your roster. Immune champs and Regeneration champs have real value in this Act - there are a lot of long paths; and there is a lot of poison and bleed. If you have either Vision, their immunities and power control will help you a lot; especially if they're awakened.
Do you have an OG Cap or Daredevil? Both have great synergies with SIM, and a good perfect block - even a 3* will last you for a while. Remember many people went through Act 4 with mostly three-star characters.
Who can you match with Colossus? If you have Beast, he's a great choice as he increases Colossus's special damage, inflicts bleed and is bleed-resistant as well. Red Cyclops or Juggernaut also have good synergies with him.
If you have a Rogue, she has a good ability to shrug off rebuffs, and a synergy with DV.
So, hopefully there was some useful advice here. Really do look ahead and choose your own path; and base your choice on which champs you can choose to take.
Good luck!
I beat it with like 4/40 and 3/30 and I barely even parried
Yeah only place I had to spend a revive was a maestro
What nodes are you struggling with? I know with the starburst chapter you need damage dealers that can end fights fast. It doesn't get any easier but patience and foresight are the keys. Take each fight very slow and only attack when you have clear openings.
Dr voodoo is your best champ for this chapter do whatever you can to use him and take advantage of his regen at the beginning of every fight.
That's interesting meastro isn't the hardest fight in all of act 4 juggy in 4.3.3 is a much tougher fight but 1 revive for the whole act that's impressive dude well done you
i did a big push on the 2 tile event. went from 55 to 78% completion. using hulk r5 sig lv 80 sw r5 sig lv99 cap ww2 4/40 wolverine 4/40 thor
i have starlord drax ultron bw and iceman al 4/40 in the wings.
The best champs against Juggernaut are Cpt. America (either) or someone who can stun lock him.
Now, I really hate Maestro Arc Overload. Even with Guillotine SP2 I managed to die some times (I suck at evading his degeneration beam). Still at 27% on act 4.4. for me. Are there any tough fights I should know of?
I usually do the easiest or shortest path first (as I'm sure most people do), but after that when I am going for 100% exploration I work my way backwards from the most difficult path to the easiest remaining ones. I just realized that, for me, knowing the next time through the quest is gonna be just a little easier and force me to use (usually) fewer items than the one I'm in currently makes it easier to get through the grind.
4* blade 4/40
4* medusa 4/40
4*gwenpool 4/40
4* iceman 4/40
4* CA (IW) r3
how do i finish act 4 the fastest cuz its taking forevs
I had no Need for willpower, but maybe thats cuz i had iceman with his triple immunities xD
