What is your suggestion for good teams after the X-Force nerf (looking at my roster)?

My maxed characters:
X-Force, Daken, Falcon, Sentry, The Hood, The Hulk, The Punisher, Thor, Wolverine

I will miss you, X-Full-Force.

Will X-Average-Force get a spot? Will your good old friend The Hood still play with you?

    Lol

    Nerfed 270 Xforce is still better than everyone else that you have maxed. Lets be real here, this roster would have been good 6 months ago. Now, newer 3* have come into play and are taking over the top tier. You should be more worried about the max level iron fists / kamala / gamorra / luke cage combos that have come online. MPQ has never been a static game where you could max 3 chars and call it good. Rather its a hamster wheel that requires you to stay on top of releases and continue to improve your roster, otherwise your just gonna get steamrolled by guys who have fresher rosters and know how to use them.

    Naw, he's gonna be hopping with Hulk/Patch and he'll be just fine.

    meanwhile, players who think Gamora is top tier might be in trouble...

    No Patch in his roster, and Gamorra is great from 0 to 500. I'd rather use her early in the climb and save iron fist for the last part of the climb. Do you use your best team early or do you save them for after 500?

    You're right, he just lists XFW twice using a different name each time.

    I have a maxed Wolverine (Patch). Faulty me...

    I am not asking you to rate my roster. I want to get other's opinions about what could be a good team after the nerf. If that's still X-Force, fine. If that's Patch/Hulk-Bombing again, fine too. I can only use characters that I already have. Leveling up better characters is always part of the plan but takes a lot of time, at least for me.

    The same one as your pre-nerf XF team.

    Just because he's nerfed doesn't mean he's no longer amazing. XF still has the best single target black skill in the game with the fewest hoops. All of his skills cascade which means he's great for party friendly hp gain and removing unwanted tiles. He still has a great health pool with true healing so that he can be played all day without a health pack.

    I'd argue that post-nerf XF is STILL the best character in the game.

    At least until the health changes come into effect in May.
    From there he might drop down to like top 5.

    But he's (probably) no longer gonna be the fastest, and I was somewhat under the impression OP was talking about PvP. If he is, Patch + Hulk is probably going to be significantly quicker.

    The health update comes alongside with the character updates.

    Yes, I am talking about PvP (stopped playing PvE couple of weeks ago).

    My team...still X-Force/4or. They are still that good. X-Force/C Mags will also be more viable after C Mags gets his health buff.

    My B team would be 4or/Dino.

    P.S. With all the health buffs, which do not seem to have been taken into account when X-Force green was being balanced, I am still hopeful MPQ will do the right thing and leave X-Force green alone or not go overboard on lowering its damage.
  • Thor + XF, Patch + Hulk, Sentry + Patch/Daken (if Sentry is 5/3/5) = all good teams for PVP.

    I went and took a look at your roster so I could make a better suggestion. I am pretty sure you got the right idea of what you'll end up doing immediately after the update so I'm gonna make some leveling suggestions. Cyclops in your roster is at a pretty decent level so I would say he would make a good addition to your 166 team. You also got a fully covered Loki, Luke Cage, Rocket & Groot, and cMags among other things. Man, I'm getting all types of jealous right now. Those are all good characters to bring up and should do well post update. Definitely a bonus to have both Loki and Hood to round out your support depending on who you take in.
