I am thinking 5/4/4 with her. That way you get the best of her Red, most of her Black, and you keep the Yellow damage activation threshold low while maximizing the AP given when damaged.
Edit: Would also like to say about tinykitty time! We have been begging for this one to settle the score with the Dark Avengers for a while. Revenge is upon us!
Edit 2: Curse my low comprehension of english! Totally skipped over the only protect tiles part. Thinking more like 3/5/5 now to maximize getting AP from attacks.0 -

I don't think the damage activating threshold changes on 5 yellow, that 695+ is just for max level-- that yellow dmg was reduced on lvl 2 and wasn't changed elsewhere.0 -

I'd have to say 3/5/5 personally. Strong red powers are not in short supply and you give up black AP gain on yellow and extra damage and stun on black if you don't max them.0 -
The two things red 5 is good at would be bullseye or falcon protect tiles.0
-
Edit: Well I should read a bit more carefully in the future. This would be way more helpful against Falcon or lazy Cap as I hate when either lays down tiles. In my defense it was 2 a.m. and I was tired.0

fsentell wrote:I get destroyed by goons though, every time a high level goon drops a CD tile it is in the middle of nowhere with no similar colors and no way to destroy it. Also it usually has about 2 turns before going off so I take a massive hit every time. Like the Hunt for example, there is a goon that does 5,500+ damage per snipe, that is an instant down for my 2* roster, can't ever kill him fast enough. This is a cheap way to take all CD tiles out of the equation that you can keep on spamming until the cows come home. Even with OBW and loading her up with blue boosts doesn't work because they keep dropping CD tiles everywhere and I always end up with a barren field of environmental tiles with no blue in sight. Heck lazyDaken would die instantly because he would constantly be losing health due to lack of blue tiles.0

Her black could work well with She-Hulk.
Creates an enemy strike tile, and then she-hulk blues it to you instead.0 -
Her red only affects protect tiles, and level 5 yellow doesn't increase damage threshold... what character stats are you reading fsentell o.o0

Feeds these 3*s (active powers only):
Black and Red:
Pun, Psy, HT, MoStorm,
Winner: HT
Just Black:
Hood, BP, Doom, loki
Winner: BP
Just Red:
LT, Hulk, Patch, GSBW, DD, IM40, LCap, Shulk, Sentry, Cmags, Rags
Winner: Cmags for now, long-term maybe LCap? Although I can see an argument for greater spammability and quicker building to CotS for LT, and more pure damage potential for Patch.0 -
I'm a little confused about her yellow, it says triggers on 219 damage at level 2, then at the bottom under max stats it says 695+, which is it? 695 damage is an insane amount so i cant imagine thats right.
If, however, it is just 219 to trigger she would play extremely well with someone like human torch fueling his red or better yet psylocke. Psylockes red eventually gets down to 5 red activation cost so you could be using it almost every turn. Not to mention she'll have 3x 200+ strike tiles out. Pretty similar with her black as well. I think Fury would round out the team nicely . The only color not represented would be green.0 -
It scales as she levels. The higher level she is, the more damage is required to trigger the power. It starts out being triggered by 219, but by the end it takes 695.0

Bottom line is it will only likely trigger off of enemy abilities used against you or if you want to give the enemy huge strike tiles with patch, just like a maxed hulk, except her health is lower. Her red is pretty weak since part of the power is tied up in a usually useless tacked-on ability. However when you do want it, you might want it maxed. I'd say if you're just bringing her out against Falcon/Spidey/Bullseye then going 5 red isn't bad, but if you actually want to get use of her on a "real" team, then 3/5/5 seems the way to go.0 -
With all the attack tiles and strike tiles she can be a terror on defense. You do 700 Damage and bam you are stunned or hit with her red or both. With 8500 health as well she can be a mini tank.0
-
Seems like a niche character. Her red isn't efficient as far as damage goes, so the only time you'd want to use it is when you're facing a character like Bullseye in pve. Her yellow is just really, really bad: it's extremely easy to avoid doing 700 damage when she's on defense if you're paying attention, and on offense there are less convoluted ways of getting red AP that don't involve taking unnecessary damage.
Her black is her only ability worth anything in pvp. The stun is real nice and the damage is acceptable. I'm not sure why a character which is clearly designed to be a tank has an ability that keeps her from taking point, though.
Actually, I do see one potential way to use her in pvp: get up to the point where you want to shield hop and then use her with HT. If you order them correctly, she can tank red for HT, and you can probably farm a few Fireballs pretty quickly to end matches real fast. Not as fast as Sentry, or as reliable, but it's a secondary option for shield hopping, that might be easier on your health packs.0 -

My bad.0 -
Having a power that destroys only protect tile seems kind of weird. Is there a plan to make protect tiles actually useful?0
-
You know, I'm cautiously optimistic about this character competitively, and I am freaking thrilled about her design-wise. A hero we haven't seen before, with interesting new abilities (including an active black), and a colour combination we haven't seen before? YES, D3. This is what we want. I don't even care if She-Hulk or Captain Marvel become roster staples. Keep it up!
As far as build/usefulness goes: hmm. I think I could see her being useful as a counter-pick. She's tanky enough and her abilities are AI-friendly enough that she's not going to invite counter-attacks if you use her mid-tournament. (That said: is 8500 just the new 3* health level now?) One combination I've started running across in PvP is Falcon/Spidey, and it's *incredibly* annoying - grinds the match to a halt. Even cMags' protect tiles can be irritating if he manages to fill the board with enough of them.
However, what I think she *really* is, is anti-strike tiles - Hulk 2.0, if you will. She gets her AP directly instead of from board cascades, so it's not quite the same, but I like the idea of swapping her in against an enemy Daken.0 -
An added bonus to her destruction of protect tiles with red: cascade possibility.
Also, do the destroyed tiles do damage? It says they don't generate AP, but sometimes we have to guess whether they do harm (see She-Hulk, whose red is working as intended but needs the text rewritten).0
