There is a chance post battle for that opponent to "drop" an applicable move for you to use at the level of that opponent. - Only certain moves can be used as Team-Ups. For the most part, it's anything that's not a Passive. - Team-Ups are usable only once, then they go away. Think Boosts in how they equip, but if you equip a Team-Up but don't use it in that battle, it stays. - Team-Up abilities can only be used once in that battle, so no spamming Magneto's abilities using it. - Team-Up AP works exactly like normal AP in that you gain one point per match. - Team-UP AP matches also work the same as other matches as well in that they actually deal damage. So no more trying to entice the enemy to match EO tiles to avoid getting hit. On the upside, no more getting left with EO tiles and not being able to actually hit the opponent. - Enemy teams can have Team-Ups just like you can.

Seems same as S1 so far, not complaining as I bully lower level players enough to get my share of tough, but it may be unfair for those same lower lever rosters, too. Instead of 2-5 crazies in a bracket they may now get 10-15! Edit: oh noes, he disappeared already

Lyrian wrote: Hi Ice, welcome back to the lunatic asylum that is the forums. Questions: -- If the power of a Team-Up awarded is based upon the power of the opponent defeated, then will there be the potential a logjam of different leveled "Adamantium Slash" Team-Ups in a player's inventory versus a single stack of that skill? -- How many Team-Ups can be brought into a single fight? (The SDCC Marvel interview implied three.) -- Are the drop chances of a Team-Up evenly distributed across the enemy roster, or are they weighted based upon star rarity of the opponents in the roster (easy to get 1* Jugg Team-Ups, very difficult to gain 4**** Fury Team-Ups?)

Lyrian wrote: Some additional questions just popped into my head (and editing a few out after your proactive response): -- Are Team-Ups 1-time per battle, or if multiples are in inventory, will using the same team-up ability multiple times in a fight consume multiple team-ups (Do the abilities "disappear" off the Team-Up cast bar once used, or if a player has 3 Adamantium Slash Team-Ups in stock, can that ability be fired multiple times in the same battle)? -- Are Team-Ups purchasable in the same way that boosts are, once inventories of a skill are depleted? And not on team-ups, because it has to be asked: -- Is high-end PvP devolving onto "Sentry-bombing" opponent rosters between shield breaks, as designed for this character? (And as a side corollary: is World Rupture operating in a way that was not intended, or is the combination of Sacrifice + World Rupture really meant to be that overpowered?)
