The only way to fix this guy if black and green are stuck is to not have it destroy the tiles. But essentially what you do is run with IW, get blue, lock tiles, use green swap blue, do damage go for blue again, however...... What if you bubble locked Quicksilver's locked TU tiles? If you made a blue match, would only IW's bubbles blow up still leaving Quicksilvers?

Quicksilver locked tiles however do NOT work with IW Green. IW Green only works with Force Bubble locked tiles. Quicksilver Blue will clear all types of locked tiles on the board when you match a blue at 4 locked tiles.

Just when you think he can't be worse I tried IW + Quicksilver + Ragnarok and it's just ...very sad. It could be that his level is low, but I don't really enjoy playing with this character.

I'm not particularly seeing where he currently fits given his play style. What I do think is that we're gonna see another character release to compliment him. Kinda like how Luke Cage and Iron Fist came out very close together and works really well as a set.

My initial idea was admittedly pairing him with IW but the fact the locked tiles are different to some degree kinda killed that. I figured he'd be more of a support type character and now I'm starting to see what I might have to do. I don't think he's that bad but he might be the type of character that will only be good in PvE.

I don't think he's that bad but he might be the type of character that will only be good in PvE. Pre-nerf maybe but post nerf he is a weaker version of Bagman and 1* Hawkeye. Let that sink in. Bag-Man: 13 AP (18 AP) to swap ANY two / four tiles. Quicksilver: 7-11 AP to swap 2 basic tiles (+ **** damage). Hawkeye: 8 AP to place a critical tile on any basic or protect tile. Quicksilver: 6-10 AP to place a random critical tile (+ **** damage). His blue is also not very good. Its hard to measure but I don't foresee it proccing very many times per match and is vulnerable to board shakes (and probably extremely vulnerable to Magneto and to a lesser extent Storm + Groot. Not sure if Cyclops helps or hurts him). He is a mash up of two of the worst characters in the game and his skills are worse.

FaustianDeal wrote: Mirror matches during his feature PVP will either be the only time we confuse Quicksilver for being 'fast' or an exercise in frustration. Probably both. With both Qs locking a team-up tile on each blue match, black will drop from 11->9->7 -> boom goes the blue passive. That will either be somewhat interesting or super-irritating as you wind up taking damage in 2k chunks. After his event ends he can take his place on the bench next to Beast.
