Much hurt coming in 2* land.

Hawkeye + MNMags to trigger Hawk's passive with Polarity, Hawk + Thor for cascade chances and to cover all but Black. Maybe use Hawkeye + MNMags + 1* Storm/Thor for perfect coverage (or all but black with Thor) and best chance to activate Hawk's purple passive with cascades?

So something like these work: xxx xxx xxxo oxxx xxxoo ooxxx I've seen those type of matches quite frequent in my games during cascades. Can use abilities to get multiples of those as well.
Lerysh wrote: You are talking about 3+3 of the same color. I'm talking about clearing 6 tiles of 2 different colors. Speed Shot fires anytime you make a crit tile, which is infrequent enough to make it kinda worthless IMO. You just made a crit tile for damage boost, here's more damage? Or you can have double color AP drain on his blue. I could see 4/5/4 potentially but I'm going to leave mine at 5/5/3 for now. The 3+3s of different colors I can see being two separate match 3s and therefore not triggering, but the match 4s definitely should, not only because it clears 8 tiles in one move, but also because the AI will never ever use Speed Shot as it's implemented now. Fighting against a Mawkeye atm is a hobbled AI opponent.
