I agree that blue is 5DP's killer power, just adding that if you have a red-heavy board, his red is better than advertised due to its stun and the likelihood you can keep respawning the cooldown by matching it.
I want to champ 5* Yelena very badly, even at 2/2/3 she is good at punishing the AI (esp with Okoye boosting her damage)
― Hello Nice FBI Lady (DJP), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 18:47 (three years ago) link
Yeah my 2/1/2 Yelena is one of my most used.

Silk is very good, possibly rivaling Polaris in 4* world
Her SHIELD Training was ludicrously easy, I got through the 2nd and 3rd day 5* nodes with everyone at full health

She does play well!I will champ 5Deadpool tomorrow. He’s ok.

I’ve been back to playing this thing in 2021 after playing approximately a month per year for.... way too longSadly, I’m just now champing some 4 stars.

I champed Back in Black Spidey earlier. Far from meta but gotta champ em all

I champed my first 5-star! Old Man Logan is still good, right?

I think people are going to find they've underrated 5* Phoenix Cyclops if/when they run into people playing him with Prof X/Onslaught
I was running that combo in his PvP and coming out of matches virtually unscathed; the cascades made it easy to call Cyke's green and yellow, both of which made Prof/Onslaught even more of a nightmare to deal with than they usually are, plus I ended up with enough red to get rolling repeaters out there stealing at least 1 green from the board every turn
He's not going to dominate the meta but he's better than garbage
― Hello Nice FBI Lady (DJP), Thursday, 18 February 2021 15:35 (three years ago) link
My main SS team is Apoc / Onslaught / BRB or Prof X & I don't see this new Cyclops entering that. I don't think he played a role in my run through his PVP: in pick 2 I use either Okoye / iHulk (base team), or BRB / Kitty (against Okoye / iHulk), or Apoc / Onslaught (against Polaris or any other 4 star since there's almost always a match 4+ the first move & so the 4 star is an auto down). None of those teams needed 5Cyclops, and he did no mentionable damage to me either in my usual run to 1000.
― All cars are bad (Euler), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:41 (three years ago) link
I champed Throg a couple of days ago. When looking for him in my roster to champ I saw Silk, who'd I'd completely forgotten about.
I've managed to get both Bruce Banner & Daredevil to 4-4-4 through shards, & 5 Mags to 4-4-4 through LL (gotta stop drawing them, he is not good). I still have to champ 5Black Widow, Doc Ock & Black Bolt, each at 13 covers.

Is Sabretooth that good that I want to throw down on that 5K HP offer? (I already have Shuri champed)
― Nhex, Saturday, 20 February 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link
How's your Okoye? I think her boost on Sabretooth makes him excellent. But maybe he stands well apart from her too?
― All cars are bad (Euler), Saturday, 20 February 2021 18:18 (three years ago) link
Pretty crap, 3/1/0
― Nhex, Saturday, 20 February 2021 18:52 (three years ago) link
If you can keep Sabretooth alive, he can absolutely shred any team using 4* Grocket for free strikes

The forums are lit up with people angry about people using phone emulators on desktop/computers to speed up the game and improve their clear times on PvE. While that does seem to be cheating, I also just don't care even a little bit? Progression exists for a reason, lord knows I devote enough time already to this game.
― Hello Nice FBI Lady (DJP), Thursday, 11 March 2021 17:19 (three years ago) link
Well.. if they're using bots to play the game for them I could see the issue
― Nhex, Thursday, 11 March 2021 17:59 (three years ago) link
They should just let all players speed up the game.

I showed it to my partner and he said "oh, this is that game you play all the time; this looks so much better" so I am beginning to suspect my initial dislike is being driven by a non-negligible amount of "change is bad"
― Hello Nice FBI Lady (DJP), Tuesday, 16 March 2021 13:26 (three years ago) link
Several colorblind/visually impaired friends have said they can't play anymore because they can't see the board properly. It's weird that they push such a big change without consulting accessibility people.
― braised cod, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 14:52 (three years ago) link
in particular i don't like 1. board dimming during enemy turn, it's too dark and 2. all gems being too dark, and having a center dark gradient which makes it harder to read the symbols. some tiles stand out better than others, at least. maybe i'll get used to it

Two extremely fun simulator teams I picked up from the forums:
ApocalypseDominoMagik
Every power cast, Magik puts protects on the board with subsequent casts also fortifies them and Domino’s power increases the likelihood of black dropping, which means that if you can play your cards right Apocalypse can multicast black on fortified protects multiple times, some of which will refortify. Get his yellow out first and cast Domino’s green for extra fun.
Adam WarlockAmerica ChavezBlack Bolt/5torm
Passive charged tiles + Adam’s ramped-up match damage + America’s crits = mayhem. Chase yellow and purple to heal Adam as he tanks. I like 5torm because she also fuels Adam’s AOE and can also drain black AP if he is AOEing himself to death.
― Dana Jel Pey (DJP), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:34 (three years ago) link
Also from the forums, someone took the BRB/Polaris winfinite engine and subbed in 1* Juggernaut instead of 4* Thanos and it’s hilariously reliable
― Dana Jel Pey (DJP), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 17:00 (three years ago) link
Apoc/Dom/Magic sounds awesome. BB/5torm team needs that particular power leveled to work but sounds goodHow does that Jugg swap work?
― Nhex, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 18:01 (three years ago) link
In the traditional BB/Polaris/used to be 5* Marvel but now is 4* Thanos, you match BB's protects to generate blue and green and let Polaris duplicate them, then when you get 12 green you use Thanos to blow up half the board and get buckets of AP and shields in response, starting a winfinite chain.
1* Juggernaut does a similar thing but his power only costs 6 green, letting you start much sooner and recover faster if you miss blowing up shields on the first cast.
― Dana Jel Pey (DJP), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 18:08 (three years ago) link
that's sick. Love seeing a combo that actually uses a underpowered roster slot!
― Nhex, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link
It’s not a surprise that a new character would pair well with Okoye but 5Witch with her is kind of hilarious. I use purple as soon as I get 3 AP in it and cast it on yellow, which then causes a steady stream of yellow AP on the board that I can use to heal Okoye and generate more teamups to escalate the passive damage on 5witch’s repeater, which gives a good dollop of damage to whomever when it goes off plus gives damage protection from cascades and multihit powers. I’m in the early stages of the Iron Man PvP but I’ve already melted several Thorkoye and Thorpocalypse teams with it.
