Light night on Monday Munchies. With Twinkie Kid unable to do Mondays in the future, most likely, Margie and I hopped on as Peep and Ho Ho so that we could show the Twinkie Kid off in style. It was a late start, so a few people had come and gone by the time we got rolling.
Off to Croatoa, forging through content there … and then …
“Oh no! Not the Pumpkins and the Door mission!”
Well, what the heck. The worst that could happen was that we failed.
And … we didn’t. We owned their big orange heads.
Stuck by the portal, mostly. When the baddies came, Ho Ho would taunt, Peep would do her choking cloud area hold and other aggro-drawing bits, and Twink would freeze some of them in place. Then it was clean up before the next group came along, with Twink doing the direct damage, Peep the DoT, debuffing, and healing, and Ho Ho drawing fire and lopping heads.
Occasionally Twink would jump out and draw a few back to us. That got us in a little trouble a few times, but it made things go a bit faster.
And when the end came — it was completely unexpected. A pretty fast mission, all told. Only 12 got through (and a bunch of those in one clot).
Huh-freakin-zah!
Couple more missions, including one of those annoying save-the-mooses-from-the-witches messes. In the process, we both dinged up to 28 (Whirling Axe, baby!), and had revisited to us how dead broke we both are.
A fine evening, and hopefully an enjoyable au revoir to the Twinkie Kid.
That’s cool: the Hostess Heroes are 2 for 2 on that mission — Twink, Ginger, Bear Claws, and (I think Fig, but definitely one of Avo’s toons) did it a few weeks back successfully. Really awesome. 🙂 You did better than we did though (more holds, and a Taunt!) — I think we barely scraped by with 27 getting through.
Still… a scrapper, a defender, and two blasters? I’ll take it. 🙂
Still makes me mad that I didn’t wait for Noelle to do that one with Pummelcite. 😛
I’ve done that one three times, and only finished it twice– once as a solo Warshade, and once as part of a team that left everything gray.
The secret for the WS victory was Inky Aspect, the AoE disorient power. I had to play goal tender and hope for the best.
Kheldians seem have an increased difficulty for all Croatoa missions– whenever an ambush is triggered, you are going to get at least one Void in the mix. So…imagine my suprise when a Void ran the bulls with his pumpkin buddies. Everytime one got through, it counted as a pumpkin gate-hopper.
I think I’m now … 2 for 5? 6?
Still … hate that mish.
That was Brownie Points, Doyce. I remember because he had a single-foe Hold.
Running that one solo gave me the same edge of the seat charge as did my first time running the Terra Volta mission. Mind, I also hate the mission and hope to never have to do it again.
It’s exhilarating, and it’s missions like that and the mayhem missions that keep me playing, far more than the tedious Defeat Alls. I do so like the Croatoa content!
I hates pumpkin-heads. Especially sprinting aggro-resistant pumpkin-heads against a misty, shadowy-brown Faerie backdrop.
