(Passive) One of the most powerful telepaths on Earth, Jean's mutant mental powers let her strike at the enemy's mind at a critical moment. When the opponent makes a Match 5, Jean destroys up to 3 AP in their strongest color, stuns the enemy team for 1 turn and deals 247 damage to them.
Combining her telekinesis and telepathy, Jean taps into an all-new range of psionic powers and blasts her enemies. Deals 448 damage to the enemy team, then creates up to 2 random Strike, Attack or Protect tiles of strength 37.

Casey Malone: Haha, it might be easier to answer what doesn’t she do! Jean destroys enemy special tiles, stuns, makes tiles for your team… she’s a powerful utility player who’s also great at dealing a ton of damage."

A passive that hurts you when you match-5, and two actives that deal team damage, one of which zaps special tiles. Something tells me Jeanie has some unresolved anger issues towards her mentor.0
-
The passive also does team damage (they specify in the interview that all of her powers do) which means invisibility will do nothing at all against her. Nifty.0
-
Jean Grey paired with Loki will make you never want to match beyond 3-tiles again..0

Only her green has any detail to it, so that's the one I'll wildly speculate about.
Level 1 does 448, level 2 does 713. I'm guessing there's at least one other step, plus one where damage is stagnant but the special tiles increase.
So I'm guessing level 70 it does 1802 + 75 special tiles, so maxed 3577 + 3 tiles of 1490 -
Purple: Mind Over Matter. 10 AP. Deals team damage and "gets rid of" enemy special tiles (not clear whether it destroys or merely changes to basic). Includes Countdowns at high levels.
Blue: Psychic Feedback. Passive. Deals team damage, stuns, and destroys enemy AP when the enemy team makes a match-5.
Green: Full of Surprises. 12 AP. Deals team damage and creates random friendly attack/protect/strike tiles (a la Mutagenic Breakthrough).
At full potential she's very strong, but if the enemy team isn't making special tiles or match-5s then all she can do is save up for Green. Interesting character, with a brutal passive against enemies who do move the board.0 -
Question for devs:
What will happen when match5-ing with friendly ProfX, and enemy Jean Grey?
match5
ProfX dmg
if Jean still alive stun/dmg/etc?
Bonus question: What will happen when 2+ friendly passives launch?
match5/purple
ProfX dmg
Spiderman shield
Bullseye shield
if Jean still alive stun/dmg/etc?
( Stunned ProfX improves some tiles)0 -
I'm betting that in a match-5 with Jean on one side and Charles on the other, the player's side resolves first no matter which character it is. That's how it works with mirrored Blades and Dakens, after all.0

Honestly don't see a situation where you will be using 2 maxed 4*s with spidey or BE.. but... if it does.. Order of Op comes into play.0 -

This is correct.
Case of PX and Enemy Jean
Match 5 made
PX does his psychedelic thing
Enemy Jean slaps the **** out of PX's bald head.
Result: Jean = Anti-PX0 -
I guess we'll have to see the final numbers, but in general, she looks weak to me. She's slow with no self acceleration and counters a power ( ) that's only deadly when used by a player. She's also a filler, which is a role contested by some top tier characters like , which accelerate respectively. It's also wasteful to bring an accelerator just for her because accelerators tend to have excellent green powers themselves , and the only decent accelerator shares all colors with her including passive (and has a very decent purple power herself).0

We do not know her HP yet, if PX kills her with the match 5, she is about useless....0 -
She's not just a counter to profx, remember all those people complaining about crazy cascades? the AI gets 5 matches all the time, often by accident. Also you can sometimes set them up and they will take them automatically. So I think that blue power is going to be pretty interesting on any team and she'll make a good counter to tile-placers as well.0

If she has less HP than PX, I will be stunned. Let alone very disappointed.
But my proposed scenario is based on the first move and that oh so delicious match 5 right out the gate.0 -

So then she is Anti-AI. Where was she in the Ultron event. So, could have used her there.0 -

Her base HP is in the OP's link. It's 3774, the same as Starlord and Elektra, so her HP at 270 is 13934.0 -

I have been seeing a lot of PX in my match ups recently in PVP. not sure if it is just about people testing the waters with him and the combo queens, or they legit love using him in PVP. I usually see him and say yep, my first priority is....0 -

Sometimes I like to double up on characters who share the same colors. Think about it, if the enemy only has one character with a big nuke, you simply match greens before they can. If the enemy has two of them and one of them has a 4* health pool, you might knock off the first one, but you're going to get hit with the second. Especially being that Kamala both accelerates and has less health, she's going to be a higher target. That leaves 4* Jean, who is very likely going to dish out a lot more damage. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me0 -

A fair point. And that's why I'm still waiting on her numbers, because for 10 and 12 ap, these abilities better pack a punch. You can put her to the double up test - assuming you want to double up on , if you would rather pair with even despite her 4 health pool, then you know she's weak.
I feel like she might turn out to be the of the 4 bunch. He is amazing defense against for instance, but a huge target for every other team. Which makes him useless in PvP, since all anyone has to do is not bring a special tile spammer.0
