Sorry about that.  I don't like editing when I'm on my phone, and I tend to forget once I'm back at my computer.

Perfect lockdown. Take Down happens to be an Ongoing, which Mental Divergence can infinitely recycle. Not only that, but Argent Adept helps Legacy to draw AND play Take Down out of turn. Legacy becomes immune to Melee damage, Wraith reduces all the damage the environment deals to 0, and then picks them off with some heavy damage powers. So the Villain cannot play cards or deal damage, and the environment cannot deal damage. In the Final Wasteland, with 4 Heroes, the maximum damage they could deal is 3, making 3 Mega Computers comfy. It's normal to accumulate ~7-9 tokens per round using this strategy, though once the combo is set up, make sure you turn off automatic drawing, and only draw when Legacy needs to get his Take Down; if you draw your whole deck, you can't use the Library's effect to play more Environment targets for Wraith to mow down for Favor.

 

How do you keep Kaargra alive long enough to accumulate 120 favor?  To reduce her damage, I've been hitting her with double Stun Bolts....unfortunately, the Targeting Computer is attached, which means she doesn't stick around long.  Only managed to be up 54-7 when she died.

Next Evolution + Lead From the Front. Immunity to melee means she literally cannot do damage.

He's not dealing damage to her. That's what the environment is for.

I'm not sure that's correct.  He references having three Mega Computers in play, and says, "So the Villain cannot play cards or deal damage, and the environment cannot deal damage. ."  I'm assuming that the way he has Kaargra not able to deal damage is Wraith Stun Bolting her (or Throat Jabbing her), since he's using Visionary to keep re-spawning Take Down.  

 

In any event, if the environment *is* consistently damaging her, that still gives rise to the same issue:  Keeping Kaargra alive long enough to accumulate vast amounts of favor.

As mentioned earlier in the thread:

 

Next Evolution (Legacy is immune to one damage type) and Lead From The Front (Redirect Villan Target generated Damage to Legacy) make her impotent.

I wasn't clear. The environment is for generating favor, not dealing damage.

Had a good run today, was a just for fun match. Thought I'd come back and check this out. Didn't know someone broke the system. Anyway, this was good for in the top 5 at one point in time.

And toying with the "break the system" setup and got a crazy number with a similar, but different enough setup:

At that point Kaargra should just be bowing to you not just look defeated.
