I don't think I've done the Hero one, but the Villain one is my favorite way to make some quick cash and merits on my IO'd out DM/Shields Brute set to difficulty 4. 40ish% melee defense helps a lot.

Positron drives me absolutely batty every single time, though. I usually end up dying waiting for his super-you-can't-touch-me-neener-neener power to run out, then come back and trounce him.

I rarely hit my tier 9 until the fight with Statesman. Just a tray full of purple inspirations and maybe a blue or green or two.

I've never done the TF solo, but I have soloed the SF with my Necro/Dark MM and Mind/Fire Dom. It's pretty easy with my Dom since I can perma hold all the heroes (except Statesman).

Yeah, the Jade Spider has a mean Psi attack with a huge range (if i remember right).

Keeping the entire Phalanx alive and with you helps wail on it, but it'll wail on THEM once it gets covered with those purple cuts. And, plus, the thing's hitbox sucked. I never tried it solo though.

Villain version is a pain in the butt, but doable alone. I used the Jade Spider and Shivans to help me kill them (was doing it with my stalker..mostly to get the Signature Heroes badge for the mayhems). Statesman fell into a dumb AI loop where he just kept using his Zeus Lightning but wasn't actually attacking spideybot.
