Yeah, it's really not ideal to have 4 green, but blue is an absolute must have at 5 as that's mainly what you'll be using to take down big targets.0

My suggestion to anyone using HP but not the full amount to max a character: do not buy a 5th color in any color. Because you can respect at 13 covers, the original build isn't important anymore. What is important is that you don't have to throw away any covers. So it is not worth buying a 5th color and risk getting a useless one later. Just go up to 4 in all of them and wait for the next 1k reward.0

This x1000. This is exactly what I've been doing with my leftover HP.
N.A.M., I'd even go so far as to suggest starting a new thread in General with this same paragraph -- it's great advice for anyone for the upcoming week.0 -

I don't trust rng and will be a months-long process working to max what I have one by one. I finished ice and after I max jeanbuster, will take him from 131 to 270. then...the next one. playing for mostly iso only at this point. after yesterday I need to update my roster.0

Been running him so far as 3/5/5 and it has its merits, the few times that I collect enough green to fire off the AoE certainly makes me wish I had more covers, but it is a rather expensive and uncommon thing. I dont know.
Maybe pairing him with RULK makes a much easier case of 5/5/3, but I am not really sure why 5 purple is so bad. The cascades it can create is rather immense provided the board is rich. However a rich board is a contingency for many scenarios.
Currently he is at level 261, once I champ him I will certainly try the other variation but for now...3/5/5 is pretty badass.0 -

You answered your own question. Provided the board is red rich, it can make cascades, sure. But the extra damage for those 2 green covers is a whole lot less variable, and even 3 purple mitigates that a lot (9123 plus a potential extra 4500 damage to the enemy team with 3 purple vs 3909 plus a potential extra 2415 to the enemy team with five.)0 -
You guys were correct.
Ran him through PvP, PvE, SSIM with both variations. Green 5 is superior. The kill speed is tremendous - I understand why is #1 among some top MPQ players. He is a one stop shop and has dismantled entire teams by himself. He doesn't do well against 5*, but then again who does?
he also strikes me as a potentially good partner for OML.0 -

I have taken on some mid-level 5*. In the lvl 350 range with about 4-5 covers. Mixed results. Yes his stun is good, but it really depends on the remaining team. If for example I can stun + kill due to some low level 3*, the game is relatively easy. If there are super beefy 4*, then the stun doesn't do much good. So far the absolute worst has been Phoenix. It struck me as a bit counter intuitive but her spamming red on the board outweighs what ice's purple(3) can do. She is nasty.
Low level OML is not a huge problem.
Silver Surfer is annoying because of his health + heal. You basically need to kill in one shot which is quite challenging.0 -

He's a fantastic partner for OML. Even one that isn't fully covered and leveled. A fully leveled Iceman and anything above 2/2/2 OML with say, SWitch for accelerating purple and blue is remarkably deadly.0 -
After this gauntlet, I just want to say him being able to chain stun your entire team within 3 moves is absurd. His "build a snowman" is absurdly overpowered for its cost.0

Exactly what the TinyKitty were the Devs smoking when they thought a 6cost 4 turn stun was balanced?0
