Any combo of Rags plus a green feeder goon will be a huge resource sink at best and impossible to defeat at worst. Given how many events in which Rags is included... I hope the event designers are on their toes.0 -
She's decent, blue + purple are hard colors to cover, but she's not stellar. Purple almost never survives because its not targetable so she's not even a good purple dump.
Masterstroke is 3130 damage for 11 AP (284.5 damage to AP ratio) while potentially draining 6 AP from the opponent and 2 from yourself. If you consider the AP drain as a cost reduction than the ratio is 447 (the ap reduction is really hard to justify). With Shapeshift up its 7302 for 19 AP (384.3, 487 if you value the AP drain).
If purple was targetable and not consumed by Masterstroke 4/4/5 or 5/3/5 would probably be the best builds.0 -
Given the obvious shift towards 4* meta and the neutering of Mystique's blue, do you think she is worth keeping?
Do you prefer Kamala's purple to Mystique's?0 -
Every character able to convert colors are worth to keep (, unless there is another char who does the same from->to colors)
Generally, she is still very playable.0 -
Yes.
She gets regular use in LR's and she'll inevitably be buffed in PvP's as well should the new format stick around. Besides, the amount of ISO she'll give you equates to about 2 weeks of LR's and the HP return is pathetic good for 1 or mayby 2 roster slots. Not even remotely worth the selling price.0 -
Yes, although neutered and not as effective as before, her and Mn Mags still are a good combo. They can still create a few loops, but expect to use healthpacks and someone to not make it out of the match intact.0
-
The more characters you keep, the less likely you are to get locked out of a required char node in PvE events... which are the key to more easily getting the top progression awards and top 100 placement in the event.0
-
Yep, keep all 3*'s at the expense of 2*'s (get rid of them all eventually, if you have to).
All 3*'s are featured PVP characters, PVE essentials, and required characters for DDQ. As a villain she'll be in more constant rotation in LR's as well. You'll miss yours if you get rid of it for those reasons (not for current playability reasons).0 -
She is basically the same as before the changes. It's not a big deal, still very good.0
-
For 19AP she does he same damage as 4thor0

Wouldnt she have been spayed? Then again, didnt she transform into a guy and impregnate someone? This is getting confusing.0 -
Hardly "neutered" (jeez, the constant drama over minor nerfing) and her purple then black makes a decent dent in most opponents. Magstique still works with a little more attention to the board.0
-
She was barely playable before the nerf. Her blue is actually so bad an unreliable that you had to fire it twice in a row to get a decent chance at going off with the combo. Now that the combo is dead and her blue is even worse, she's definitely a bottom tier character. Sure, her black potentially deals top damage among abilities, but you have to jump though so many slow hoops while defending her absurdly low HP to get the full damage that it's not worth the bother.0

I still use her with mnmags and blade (have 4 black) for my dpq with minimal hp loss. Have them at level 100, 94, 100. The only time I have trouble with them now is when ninja nodes show up and they do damage when they are killed. Wininfinite still works as long as you stock up blue and pink during goon nodes.0

I'm not going to give any hints, but I think Mystique is going to the center of devastating combos to come. Keep her; explore.
I think Kamala's is overrated. I think people are going to see that once they have a chance to play her.0 -
A little tweak to Mystique that would make shapeshift more in line with the character's action..
There's the reveal at the end of being shapeshifted, the surprise element, that should be represented by a stun.
Given that the countdown is 8 turns, a relatively long time, and easy to match, a two turn stun would be justified.
One turn stun as a fallback.
Obviously in addition to the one turn stun at the start of the power.0 -
It has the stuns at cover levels 2 and 5. Perhaps I am misreading what you are looking for in the power?
Shapeshift - Purple 8
Mystique changes her appearance to make her look like the target enemy, creating an 8 turn Countdown tile. While shapeshifted whenever the enemy team makes a match Mystique steals 1 AP of that color.
Level 2: Also stuns the target for 1 turn
Level 3: Also steals 1 AP whenever the enemy team makes a Blue match
Level 4: Also steals 1 AP whenever the enemy team makes a Purple or Black match
Level 5: Also steals 1 AP whenever the enemy team makes a Team-Up match. Stuns for 1 additional turn0 -

Yes, I'm suggesting once the 8 turn timer runs out another stun is activated.0 -
