      Or pair BP with Falcon and yellow match the enemy to death.

      Will the dark reign chapters still be completed? What happens when that story line is finished, a new one?

      Will the update eliminate the death brackets from over nudging?

      Why not both?

      Even without Team-Ups, Casting Judgment, then Battleplan would yield (3 * 122) + (3 * 175) = 891 in Strike tiles. With a "Team-Up", that number increases to 1116 in Strike tiles.

      At that point, regardless of whoever is the third on the team, who even flipping cares about other abilities when you are matching for four-digit damage on match-3s, let alone match 4 and 5s and cascades?
      Very true. There's absolutely no downside to running BP+Punisher. They'll make an extremely powerful duo to combine with featured characters. I'm psyched!

      Yep. BP can tank yellow for Falcon.

      Does the Computer use the Cocktail first or does it wait for Rage of the Panther?

      For 9 yellow AP, he gets 750 worth of strike tiles, with no downside. (Not sure if it consumes team-up AP, but it doesn't sound like it.) That's essentially the strongest strike tile ability in the game. That's more strike tile damage than Sentry with one more AP but no self-damage.

      Collecting 12 Team-Up AP is not that easy though - will take just as much effort to fuel as Rage of the Panther - so on the whole he'll 'only' be making 525 worth.
      It's never going to be worth holding on to the yellow waiting to build more Team-Up if you don't already have 12 TU, as you'll be passing up so much additional damage to do so.

      I wouldn't say *no* downside, the AI will still generally use Molotov over saving up for RotP. Still, seems like a pretty decent team, and one that lots of people probably already have built.

      That's only with 12 teamup AP though, which will probably be a lot harder to get than enviro crits.

      It's still not clear if collecting teamup AP will be the same as Enviro though. If they leave everyone's Enviro ratings the same and just change it to teamup AP, that'll only be one match for some.

      Not sure if I'm a fan of these changes that involve Storm or not. I guess it really depends on what this "team-up" function does. All I know right now is that it really messes w/ my fave Thor/Storm/OBW combo. I'm willing to wait and see...

      Also consider that when Molotov is cast, that would be 2000ish to the enemy team, plus once an Attack stile is created, that is another 1000ish damage per round from Strike tile synergy.

      Either way, whether the AI casts RotP or Molotov, the result is very bad news for the enemy team.

      Looking at the requirement it sounds like each team up tile is just 1 team up AP so you'd need 4 team up match 3s for Battleplan for example.

      I heard there was another silhouette? Any news on this?

      Sounds very interesting.

      I would think that the removal of the Dark Reign sub-title will mean that more new story missions are going to be coming someday too?

      The YouTube video I linked to was what was shown, I don't believe there was anything else.

      Looks like team-ups are one token per ability. There's a specific Fury demolition token, or Sentry Supernova token. Looks like you collect them like power-ups.

      Also, Deadpool definitely has Red, Purple, and Black.

      EDIT: Deadpool's red ability is called "A Little Off the Top".

      The environmental tiles now look like "crystals." My guess is you use those like AP to use a team-up, and some characters drop instant team-ups.

      All I want to know is are you changing storms Match Damage as well or just her ability colors? >.> Also, is Storm Mohawk changing at all from this update since you conveniently left that out.

      Colors look like red, purple, black passive.

      Hopefully we get new characters to battle. I am sick of daken/juggs/venom etc. Maybe we will get one last PVE where we send those guys packing for a very long time.
