Even without having them maxed they're pretty fun combo to play with. They have nice rainbow (except purple/pink), board shake-up abilities and are strong damage dealers supported with great AP generation ability. And chaining CMags redflag.png , followed by XForces blackflag.png = cascade of hell icon_e_smile.gif

Now - I am being tired of playing with those 3 over and over again - and I am wondering what other combos, teams you consider really fun to play and you would suggest? (besides MStorm+MNMags+loaner combo)

    I've had a lot of entertainment in TAT and Lord of Thunder with xdoom with Lthor. Turn all the blues black, surgical whatever colour, cascade half the day, then LThor uses the cascaded ap to change tile colours and cascade some more, buffed CoS and flatten all the tinykitties.

    Loki also unexpectedly effective in the Hood nodes with his new and improved third power.

    Since LThor's been vaulted for a while I am missing yellow covers, yet it seems fun combo this Xforce + Doom. Will try it with 2*thor to see how it feels.

    I was enjoying playing X-Force + Hood + Deadpool. Deadpool's redflag.png ability is great for softening up the priority targets and then eventually Hood brings in the purpletile.png, which is a great way to end the match. The other nice benefit is that Deadpool might sacrifice himself to save X-Force or Hood if things go unexpectedly south.

    No blueflag.png ability, but Hood will at least do match damage with it, so whitecrit.png damage is good with all colors.

    Good choice
  • I personally enjoy xforce + mystique. Mystique is a little squishy, but if you're boosting, you can hit her blue super early and fire off a mean surgical strike pretty early. It's nice to have mystiques black available because back to back surgical strikes don't always do well if you don't kill the highest dmg target on your first. I've had mystique's blue cascade end with 20+ purple and black each. it gets wild. Ideally I'd pair them with Cage to make mystique a little less squishy.
  • X-Force, CMags, and Loki. You get the combo going, you can do almost infinite board shake.
  • With the recent nerf to high level match damage, characters like The Hood and Loki gained a lot as long as the opposing side doesn't have a goon (their match damage is not nerfed).

    This was the best offense PvP / PvE team before LadyThor rolled in: it should still do silly things.

    Unless you are SS on purpletile.png or blacktile.png this combo can fall flat a bit, unless you go MQ blueflag.png and the clear the board of black and purple. I personally prefer MQ and BP. Once you get 24 blacktile.png that's 7.4k team damage, that's usually game over.
