    I'd add the black cover to your existing character. He's buffed to level 90 in Hunt, so even a single black cover will do up to 464 damage per turn (8 x 58). Add in strike tiles and it's not insignificant. I'm not sure who you're running with but it's been helpful for me on the nodes that require him. If you pair him with OBW then you're probably matching black anyway for espionage so it's not a bad thing to have a use for the AP. Then again, if you're always running with Pun you have a better outlet for black.

    Punisher is my only Max level 3* right now, so I do tend to use him a lot (except when I was saving him for PvP.) I chose to sell off my OBW for Baby Torch since I figured the required nodes where more important than her nerfed healing.

    As long as I'm running Punisher with him, Baby Torch doesn't seem to get much damage (except by the off chance area attack, or if I don't have a 3rd coving Yellow as a dominant (my Punisher ties Baby Torch on Yellow, but his Center position always gives him dominance.) Given the choice, I've been sending in Black Panther for 3rd, though since I'm often avoiding Punisher's Black to use BP's, that is an even stronger case against using the cover on my existing Baby Torch.

    What level and how many covers were on your OBW? even with nerfed healing there are other 2*s I'd sell first before her if I was limited on roster space. The ap steal + double strike tile dip is amazing (especially with your maxed punisher), even during transition to 3*. So what does your roster look like right now? I would say there is no point in using Torch's black. (Though pun fully tanks for Torch, so you'd only need to be careful about aoe attacks).

    My OBW was Maxed, I think I had her at 4/5/4 when I sold her. I had already sold off every other 1* or 2* character besides M.Mags & C.Storm when I did. I'm spending all my HP on Alliance spots, so I haven't upgraded my roster since a month or so before Season 1. I'm up to 13 slots, and should earn enough HP in the next few days to buy that 14th slot.

    OBW's double strike only works when she has the highest damage, so since I was running her with Pun & BP, she was usually only using it for Purple. I think the only reason I still had her around after True Healing was for goons, and C.Mags does a better job of shutting down countdown tiles with his blue than she could (unless of course the board is just filled, but that rarely happens.)

    Wow, I can think of 6-7 three stars that I would sell over my maxed 3-5-5 oBW, or over my duplicate lvl 15 3-5-5 oBW.
    Too bad they are always required in some events.

    Daken** won't be able to tank black for Torch, but he will tank green for him (46 vs 43), so there's that.
    Yeah, but if you just want a green tank, you'd hide him behind ares or thor
    Daken** can be a poor man's tank. I used Daken**/mStorm/oBW heavily back when oBW and Daken were my best-covered 2*s and only cut on his use when oBW outgrew him and I got other characters.

    This guy added to the random 2* we get as match rewards sometimes yet?

    Of course not. He might hit the packs at the same time as She-Hulk and the next new character though. They seem to add new characters in batches of 3.

    So far he's just available from the Hunt Tokens. Out of 6 tokens (4 for rewards & 2 progression) I've gotten 2 2*'s I didn't care about, 1 Red Punisher I don't need, one Red Magneto I did need, and a Black Baby Torch which I'm using to make sure I don't have to use health packs on him when I want to hit the required nodes.

    Just good luck, but I'm liking those odds (even if the Punisher was a tease.)

    I just pulled a black 2*torch cover from a standard token -- Up to 1/3/3 now. Thinking maybe 5/5/3 is a decent build to pair with OBW and Ares/Thor for a little change of pace now & again. I can't think of many scenarios where you won't have a better place to play the green.

    why hasn't this been updated yet? oh because nobody cares about Johnny Matchstick, that's fair.

    But there are other character threads in here that are long overdue for their update

    all you have to do to get stats for at least one full 13 cover build is look at "colognoissieur" (or however you spell his name's) roster

    That doesn't give you stats for level 5 green, or anything below 5 on red or black. Partial stats aren't much more help.

    Well, if you know where to find them, why don't you contribute to the community? If everyone waits for someone else do gather the data, then it'll never get done.

    You can check yourself by sitting through the "chance to win" pop up in a pvp match! Handy!
