You need a good black user (like cyclops or bp) in the team and that narrows it down really hard. Even when I have the luxury to pick my third none of the green users seem particularly good fit.0

anyone tried playing a 3/5/5 / 3/5/5 and 5/5/3 ?
is that like a wall or something?....IF will basically spam the board with and feed Kage while Falcon would empower both their special tiles0 -

In that composition a 5/5/3 iron fist would be substantially superior. We've talked about 5/3/5 Cage 5/5/3 Iron fist a lot but I haven't seen anybody pull the trigger yet. The offensive potential of something like BP IF outclasses this kind of "build and build" strategy in basically any case.0 -

Same here, it's a waste of Falcon's yellow. I have done / / now that gets some damage going, you have no outlet for yellow, but I was doing over 4K a turn at onepoint with Blade's and IF's attack tiles plus the strike tile damage.0 -
I think they need to change his AP threshold to 9 instead of 12 and that'll hopefully slow down the double purple into game ending cascade deals. Green can use a buff anyway, even though I don't think it's needed.0

I use a 553 fist and a 535 cage. I love it. That's actually my specialist survival node team and ultron killer. For the long game, 5 green is really good. Only problem is not enough red tiles and sometimes you feel a 4-5 black fist would have downed one opponent faster esp on a green starved board.
When paired with 4hor it feels like you're cheating. 6 waves 190-218? no problem0 -
After finally getting 5 due to 1000 HP tacos, unholy Shuma Gorath, he's overpowered. You can like...cast ROTP a bajillion times...and that's WITHOUT using boosts.0

I wouldnt say his Purple is overpowered really.
Many times ive cast it and not got any instant cascades, and only been able to get a Match-3 out of it, its all just luck really.
Dooms Blue, board dependant, can be far more devastating, again with luck.
I find this game about 60/40 Skill/luck.0 -

This is not popular, but that purple....it's super nasty, and very easy for the AI to play. I'd prefer a place 4/5 black, rather than IF as the defensive nightmare he is now.
In all seriousness, what are the odds that the purple will be 'looked into' again? At the moment, he's as good an AP source as Hood, or maybe even better. If he's gonna stay the way he is, I'd invest HP in him, but I can't help but look at this as too good to be true.0 -

The skill is in calling when you need 5 or 10 mana to get a bunch of crits. After playing with him a long time I barely ever don't get a ton of black when using the skill.
Doom blue, on the other hand, is 100% luck. You're collecting blue and you need a ton of blue to fall between blacks to get anything out of it.0 -

I don't get it D3 - Magstorm is too powerful but Iron Fist can do the same thing for less, in a more important color, and that's okay. I guess since very few people have Bagsilver/X/Iron Fist at max efficiency they aren't as worried about it as they are 2* characters running amok....0 -
Iron Fist is obviously meant to be balanced due to a lack of HPs. Just like this never worked with The Hood until they banished him to an unbelievably low HP tier this probably won't work for Iron Fist unless everyone else got another 3K HP bump.0

I don't think you can evaluate a character because of his interaction with another character. Yes he is a great black generator, but if you look at IF only, he can't do much with it unless he has 12 in the bank, that takes a while to gather and then you need or to take advantage of it.
His purple is also a double-edged sword vs other users. You might end up giving them the AP they needed since you don't automatically get all the put on the board. So if you're looking for an effective counter, bring a black user and you'll see you can take advantage of that (Luke Cage is actually a good counter to IF).
By himself he is rather balanced. He's a strong opponent but that doesn't mean he's OP.0 -

You can't balance characters by themselves in a 3v3 game.0 -
You can't look at IF in a vacuum, though, either. And the AI will never use his purple twice in a row, while it will generate a lot of black on a single use. Luck can effect it, and it can fail, but the AI can get enough purple from the cascade for back-to-back usage.
But, while we're talking, would it be better to bring a black user against him, feed him enough purple to put it off early (before they have enough for multiple skills on the likely cascade) and hope that you can use the black? It seems like a far-fetched strategy, but if his purple is a double-edged sword, then it would have to be a viable one.
I've got a 2/2/2 IF and a HP bank that's enough to take him to 2/5/2 (that I've been saving for Roster Slots, since I hate throwing away new 3*, and not having essentials), how long would I have before possible adjustment? I suspect, based upon my interactions (heroic losses, I mean, worse than against pre-nerf Wolv, at least you could realistically deny him AP) with him, that just in cascade potential, IF would be a blast to play.0
