I got a couple of Okoye covers and was more than happy when I finally Championed her.So I recently pulled a Black Gambit cover, and it's been sitting on my Vine for a few days, and a few times while viewing my Vine I've come close to tapping "Train" on it. And that concerns me because it's on my vine because I am seriously considering selling it. Because training Gambit to 1/2/1 will (IMO) not only not make him better, it will actually make him worse, because while I'll never use him unless he's the 5E, when he is, the 5E node will actually become more difficult if he's 1/2/1 than if I keep him at 1/2/-As an almost 5-year veteran of this game you better believe I was happy when you implemented the "Saved Covers" mechanic, especially as it arrived when I was beginning to transition to the 5-star game.That only makes it all the more sadder that I now find myself seriously considering selling a 5* cover when I don't have to. But I think I need to.

Unless they want Gambit to go back to being the mandatory 3rd when anyone with Purple or Red powers is remotely "good", I'd guess never.

HoundofShadow said: It's counterintuitive to increase the cost of his allies's purple and red powers just for the sake of unblocking them. This is a huge nerf to Gambit's allies, and I don't think it sits well with many here. His blocking of allies' powers likely reflect his personality of being independent and somewhat self-centered.Based on what I remember, the devs will research on those characters and pick three traits that best represent the characters. Then, they will go back and forth with Marvel to develop the concept and how those traits will be represented in the game.I doubt it's simply removing this or adding that to balance the characters. So, I think it's better to rework his third ability if the players really want to lift the unblocking of his allies' red and purple power.
