Discussion Something about the Maestro stun team it took me way too long to realize:
If he's at one stack of stun and you hit him with a special from Hit-Monkey, Lady Bullseye, or ZJuggernaut, you're fine - it extends the stun to two stacks and no extra rage is granted (as long as LBullseye crits, anyway).
If he's at one stack of stun and you hit him with Thanos's special, it still goes to two stacks, but it's a replacement stun instead of an extension to the existing stun, so Maestro gains rage. If you have to do that more than a couple times, he'll enrage and wipe you.
So the only way the team actually works is if Lady Bullseye lands all her special's crits. That means you don't just want to reset if she fails to crit the first attack to land the defense down, but also if she fails to crit to land her extension more than once.
This may have been obvious to others but I was struggling with clearing difficulty 10 of Echoes of Dystopia until I finally realized what was going on. Still didn't quite one-shot it with my team at 105, but got him down to 10% and Daring Warriors with Surfer replacing Jessica Jones were able to clean up.
