Best Builds For Team-Up Loaners

Unknown

Made a list of best team up loaners with all the changes to Team-Ups lately. An extra character or two on each roster in an alliance just for loaning is doable for more experienced alliances or paying players, your alliance could even coordinate who sends what on a regular basis.

First Tier- cheap abilities (10AP max) that have effects that don't depend on character level
0/5/0 MNMags - Polarity Shift still places tiles, makes criticals, and generates both blue and red. Now makes a useful red battery.
0/5 mBW - a 5 turn stun and 1 turn for the whole team.
Juggernaut - Green always loaned out and destroying 16 tiles for 6 TU is great board shake-up.
5 green or black Modern Storm - Green generates 14 AP for 10 TU AP, not a bad deal and black spams the board with 32 attack tiles, good for overwriting traps and preventing goons from laying CDs.
0/0/5 Ms. Marvel - Stragetic Command can be useful to generate criticals or charge a TU tile heavy board for a more expensive TU, though I'm not sure why you'd ever need 20+ TU AP in a battle.
0/5 Venom - Team Stun is like using a color boost and can set you up for a match-5
5/0 cHawkeye - Placing a critical on any basic or protect tile for 8AP is pretty good.
5 Red or Blue Captain America - Turns any tile into a CD that converts TUAP into 10 red or blue AP. I know I said 10AP max and it's a countdown, but how often does it resolve and how often will an extra 10 red or blue win you a battle nearly on the spot? (Hat tip to jffdougan for the suggestion...I never use 2* Cap since I have fully covered Steve so I totally forgot when looking at my roster)

Second Tier- not so cheap or have damage based on level
5/0/5 Ares - Useful if your team lacks a green user (essential nodes and good buffed pve teams), downside gives other team green and limited by level.
Daken (both) - Chemical Reaction does solid damage, is cheap, and is the only skill he can send, but requires a strike tile generator and you not fighting against him.
5/0/5 or 0/5/5 aWolverine - Feral Claws can be a nice pair with Daken total cost for both is pretty cheap at 11AP. Slash is a nice killshot, but both are limited by level and how often XForce and Patch are on your team.
5 green or blue cStorm - Green can generate lots of AP and windstun is great at most any level.
5 green or black Torch Jr - Green is not useful without at least 10AP and black depletes other colors, both depend on level and can be matched away quickly often times.
0/5/5 mHawkeye - cheap AoE with ability to place the tile so it should go off most times, only downside is that damage is based on level.
5 yellow or green Thor - useful green generator or big AoE damage but both are on the expensive side and limited by how often thor/rags/goddess is in the fight.
Aggressive Recon of either Widow - could be top tier but can be expensive depending on how much/what colors you want to steal and OBW gets lots of play in PvE, no good against Yelena either.

I limited this to 1-2*s for easy building and short loan times, but if you can make a good case for a 3-4*s (other than Lazy Daken) I'll make a third tier. I'll also update with any changes to my rankings based on comments or game changes.

0/5/5 for either Cap can overwrite countdowns and convert TU to red or blue AP. Steve's blue also leavesa protect tile behind.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've updated the main post and credited you.

Loki- Illusions (cheap board shake)
DP- Both ALOTT & WHALES are awesome TU's (WWW is costly, but ends the match if you've got the points)
Doom, Cyclops, Magneto, GSBW- All offer specific board control
Pun- Retribution (cheap endgame button in games that are too close at the end)
Iron Fist- His purple is the cheapest AP converter available

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but 3* definitely have some amazing TU's that shouldn't be overlooked.
