this was so simple, left with over 8 grand worth of health point

my level 250 5/2/5 against level 270 Cage

Match yellow, the only thing he can do damage on you. The AI will never run the black properly so even if it does fire, you're still ok. And then pick up purple so you can get more yellow and deny more yellow.

Luke does not stand a change and there is no need to boost if you have anywhere decent of a build.

    Cycle 4, innit?

    My 2/5/5 Level 152 needed 3 tries because I was focusing on trying to set up the Proctologist of Doom.

    Third try I just cast two uses of yellow, protected the tiles, and Luke succumbed.

    3/4/3, 209. First try, though I was down to less than 2K health thanks to eating a few Jabs. Fortunately Luke never got his Cross off.

    Easy win for my 5/3/5 (level 276) KP! I focused on collecting black & purple, used purple to fuel my yellow, sent out my Maggia goons and poked Luke Cage 3x times in a row - game over for him.

    LT is stockpiled.

    first try with a 1/1/5 lv 156 kingpin, he beat me with 23 health left. was able to get a jab in on his last ditch effort then the match finished me off. second try, beat him easily with a few thousands health left. got off yellow twice and only 1 or 2 CD tiles got matched away the whole fight, plus was able to poke him a few times for extra damage.

    Loads of attempts with my 147level 3/2/2 but finally downed mister unbreakable with a bunch of lucky cascades that gave me enough yellow and black to fire off a bunch of powers consecutively.

    Yellow peggy to put her at 4/2/2 but still no BH. I think everyone else is stealing my guys!!

    My 1/2/3 Kingpin is really struggling. At level 131 my black only does 1100, and I only get one strike tile if my countdown lasts. (And even with two strike tiles, my matches still only do 1 damage.)
    Really don't think I can pull this off without more black covers.

    I wasn't sure how this would go, as it was tough last time even with a champed Kingpin. I used +2 Yellow, +2 purple, and +2 all. It was not needed at all. My first turn had a mach 5 purple, followed by a match 5 yellow. Create more yellow, and first turn LVL 5 Maggia Pawns. A couple of turns later I had enough yellow for a second one, and it ended quickly even with him matching a few tiles. I got a blackflag.pngicon_blackpanther.png bringing him up to 2/0/2. About the only disappointment in this match was not getting a bonus 5-star cover afterwards. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Just thought I'd give it a try with my Lv168 3/3/5 Kingpin, so didn't add boosts and was actually surprised to beat Cage right away. Control yellowtile.png and blacktile.png and he doesn't stand a chance!

    3-2-4 lvl 147 went 0-2, could tell health was an issue, so dumped iso in to 170 (meant to put a little less in, button went fast lol).

    Won easily first match back.

    Eta: all about controlling black, which isn't hard since it's my target color too

    lvl 200 Kingpin did this with the first try without problems. Collected some black, fired 1 yellowtile.png and poked Cage to death.

    Last time: my Kingpin was 111 2/2/1 and never got close.

    This time: My champed Kingpin still lost his first attempt, due to a hilarious series of cascades for the AI at the start, which led to Cage firing off abilities almost every turn. The second attempt wasn't much better, except I was able to stock up 12 black and fire it 2x in succession for 10k at the end for the win.

    Reward: blackflag.pngicon_venom.png Agent Venom, now 2/5/4.

    Did you finally beat Luke? Though it took me 4 tries, I did it with a Lv. 131 Kingpin 1/3/2. I used boosts +100% match damage, +2 all and +2 b/g.
    Reward: token_legendary.pngicon_blackpanther.pngredflag.png first cover.

    0/4/4 lvl 140 with no boosts - second try. Denying black and yellow is obvious strtategy. Choosing proper moments to fir "The Fisk Defense" and "Maggia Pawns" was a key to the victory.
    Rewarded with blueflag.pngicon_peggycarter.png, that goes to trash as it is of course the only colour fully covered (3/3/5).

    Level 100 5/3/5 KP beat it 2nd try using 2 Y/R and 2 G/B boosts. I probably could have beat it at level 70 but I didn't want to use a lot of healthpacks.

    1/4/3 Had a miserable time, even after leveling to 172. After probably two dozen tries, finally hoarded the yellow/black for a massive burst after he matched away the protect tile to take him down about 60%. Still needed another double drop of thug tiles to finish him off within one jab of defeat.

    Definitely worth the time and health packs.

    Going to have to give up on this one - my 0/2/2 level 106 Kingpin just isn't able to hit hard enough. After 10+ defeats, the lowest I ever got him was around 8K health. The saddest thing is that he may never be high enough level for this since he's vaulted and I probably won't ever favorite him.

    Question though, as I'm a long time lurker and a first time poster: Why do people on the forum post who they get when they win a LT? Is someone, somewhere keeping track? Or is it just for the fun of sharing?

    It's just for fun. It's particularly nice to see when someone wins a tough battle and gets something good out of it.

    I won this Crash on the first try (unboosted) with my 5/2/5 lv 130 KP. Luckily I have enough covers to hit relatively hard and also keep Cage from firing his yellow.

    It's mostly just for fun. Sometimes it's because you're happy that you got something you really wanted. Other times it's because you grinded away at this 17 times and you ended up with a really **** cover.

    My alliance mate recommended I try saving up for a turn when Luke matched away his own protect tile, and sure enough 4 tries later i got it done. Only had 500 hp, but a win is a win.
