Yeah, you can spam them a bit, and buff them with purple, but it'll take a lot of doing just to get up to Blade power. Sorry, this totally killed my enthusiasm for this character. The Yellow was going to lead to some interesting things. Now all we have is a character that breaks a broken combo more than it was already broken. It's not like you need him to do anything you can't already do. Yeah, he'll up the Magstique success rate by maybe 20%, but I'd want a 4* to be able to do more than that. Purple is cheap enough that it should be trivial to get off and I doubt I'm bringing another purple user if I select him. With that up, the **** tiles should get buffed fairly quickly to dangerous levels. Have you ever used Daken / Blade / Falcon against level 300+ nodes? If the board isn't terrible you can easily do 2-6k damage a turn. PvE wise he could be pretty good depending on who is locked out. Gamora/Punisher + Spidey + Prof X seems like it will be a solid team. Seems like he pairs well with HT and Psylocke too. There are times when bad boards eat my kits way faster than I'd like (esp. in the R&G PvE) and having someone who can elevate mid-tier characters to be viable against high level nodes is welcome. The other benefit is that as long as his invisibility tile survives he can dominate last man standing situations. It sounds like he can't generate his own yellow procs off of purple (do team ups count?) but if he's the last one alive, every match is a turbo charged Inspiration. He's also immune to all non-aoe damage so matches where you get screwed you have a chance for a comeback. PvP wise he'll probably never get usage but that's true of 95% of character releases. He suffers the 4* treatment of never being a featured PvP outside of his initial release. It's been ages since I used IW but I think AE attacks cannot hit an invisible character. It's effectively godmode until the invisibility tile is destroyed.

I just fought an IW and she was last man standing with invisibility and I could hit her with basic matches and 4hor yellow

lvl1,2 Creates protect tile lvl 3 Creates protect + attack tile lvl 4 Creates protect + attack + strike tile Creates attack + 2x strike tile + protect (or no protect at all)
Creates strike tiles first, then attack, then protect
lvl 1: Creates 1 random special tile lvl 2: Creates 2 random special tile lvl 3: Creates 2 random special tile - stronger lvl 4: Creates 3 random special tile lvl 5: Creates 3 random special tile - stronger

Where were the testers? WAIT, WE ARE THE TESTERS! - Do some quick change with, not sure, maybe yellow? Make it weak, There is no time with proper balancing, not that we are good with it anyway - What do we tell our boss about last-minute tweak? - Something like: we tested all chars combination till the end and there was a need to do so
