    I was surprised to see that his purple can change any type of red tiles to blue. Had a match with Loki on my team and the opponent had just made a red match-4, next turn my 4 red Mischief CD tiles turned from red to blue when opponent used Iceman's purple because they were the only 4 red tiles left. There is nothing in the description that would suggest this is not working as intended but it was still a bit surprising to see since 'normally' only basic tiles are affected I think.

    To bad it doesn't help that it changes non-basic red tiles, the tile still stays the same for the user. They still have their luke cage armor tile, it's just blue instead of red icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Wonder if it would save Daredevil's traps from Blade/Daken. I assume so.

    Dunno why one would be running Daredevil-Iceman together, but could be a niche use.

    Well, since the tile is now Blue, Daken wouldn't be putting a strike tile on it. Though, knowing the computer, it would just match away the blue for Dakens ability lol.

    I don't know, it seems like color changing powers aren't too bothered by the tiles being something else already. A good chunk of others aim for team ups or any color, so it's not something super common, but I've seen antman's tiles get changed colors, and I know that the goons have no problem turning his tiles and dare devils etc into count downs.

    Also dooms traps can have their colors changed.

    Yes Ice-Man's purple changes DD's trap from Red to Blue which is actually a great way to defeat Ice-Man because he kept setting off my trap in his PVP. I used Cyclops and DD, had about 2 traps on the board, Ice-Man changed red to blue and matched both traps.. DEAD! Despite the Red-counter, DD and Cyclops seemed to be the best solution against Ice-Man, I didn't even notice the red AP drain.

    Elektra might appreciate that help too...

    Ran the same team and it was a nice surprise.
    Hit Cyke yellow for a red match. If that failed tried Icemans Purple for a blue match and it almost seemed to target the trap tile (exaggerated).

    So whats the general consensus on his best build(s) ?

    Now that he's been out for a bit I'm curious how people are using him

    Most of the "Max immediately" crowd went 5/5/3, and that's still most of what I see at the top.

    Yes, 5/5/3 is the most popular. His greenflag.png just has such a high damage potential.

    Otherwise, 3/5/5 may be best for the synergy, which we might see if his purpleflag.png ever gets buffed or greenflag.png nerfed.

    I would say you always want his blueflag.png at 5, due to how insanely it scales.

    Iceman's Blue is devastating! He singled handedly killed Galactus every time for me during the first run. It is currently my favorite power to use.

    I'm struggling to find a good team for young Bobby. I'm still transitioning into 4* land so lack a useful HB or JG. My other well-covered 4 is 4Pool, but I haven't found them to make a great team. After trying a bunch of different combos I've actually settled on a SW and Lazy Thor team (use her to mass produce Purple which I turn to Blue and Thor's Yellow to produce Green which I use to nuke). Anyone else have any ideas for good teams?

    Has anyone gone with 5 covers in his Purple? Just wondering if theres a possible gimic team like 3* Cyclops and Hulkbuster making red tiles all over the place. I was wondering if his purple was worth making 5 covers in with a specific team.

    It's really not worth it. If it were any random tile being swapped then maybe it might be worth it, but considering the jump in damage from 3-5 in the other 2 you're losing out on way too much damage for a gimmick that would only maybe kind of work with one team comp that you'd get to use in PvP basically never.

    I'd say leave green at 4, because his purple feeds blue and you'll end up using that more often.
