Any reason she isn't a legendary token option yet?

She will likely be added to tokens at the start of season XXI.

After round of playing, I found that Daken is one of the X23’s best partner because by a single move of matching green:

1) X-23 can heal up herself and at the same time gathering green for Holding Back
2) Daken can create 2 attack tile, and reduce the cost of X23’s Purple by 2

By 3 matches of green, X-23 heals 3 times, Holding back is ready to fire off, and her purple power cost is reduced to 6. Daken sits there quietly regenerating himself.

If choosing the last member with true health regen (XDPool/Xforece/Mr Fantastic), or with powerful Red/Yellow/Black (IMHB/Cyclops/3Thor/Cap Marvel/etc), would a 5/3/5 X23 become viable?

She could be a character in the first line 4 *, in the game, if your purple was not so bad.
A bit of history as Laura Howlett daughter's "logan".

How much better is she now going to be with Nova creating strike tiles for her to make purple so much Cheeper?

Traps are always unreliable. That is the reality of this game. Until we have a 4 star that creates more purple tiles rather than generating purple AP, purple trap tiles will always be useless.

Traps on red tiles are the worst due to so many abilities spawning strike or attack tiles on red tiles. However, traps on purple tiles have much greater survivability.

Asking for a potentially 6AP / 12k damage attack to be "reliable" is asking for a whole lot.

This duo is deadly. It is almost a rainbow team (just blue missing), and incredibly fast, really, really fast.

And yeah traps are not the best, but if you cast it intelligently (when there are purple matches available), or you fire it thinking you are the one that is going to fire it, it is very good at the reduced cost (6AP for 7k and a 400 strike tile!!!). But yeah sometimes you need to wait a little bit before you can cast it, and sometimes that can hurt you.

And even for Defense, this duo is quite good because it is going to be very hard to not eat a couple or more of 4k attacks minimum, and eat some serious match damage for the effect of the strike tiles. You wont lose, is not that good, but you are going to suffer a lot of damage.

Yeah, fill that Blue hole with LDaken or Grocket. The RNG gods have given me a landslide of X23 tokens in the last few weeks to the point where as of this morning she's fully covered at 5/3/5. Even with 1 yellow and 1 black on Nova, it makes a huge difference. Now I really want to get him covered and play around.

So far I only have her at lvl 120, but she's putting up some impressive numbers. I also want to play around more with SW to see if she can cause a bunch of purple mayhem.

I also got her to 5/3/5 this week, and she's really enjoyable with baby Nova/Groot on heroic

She'll be getting my ISO once I'm done with Hulkbuster, they should pair up really well

SnagglePuss

I ran her with SW/Ldak a few times in BoP, that was good fun dropping traps and watching SW match them away and generating even more

I was just thinking they would pair up nicely with Grocket.

Good to hear (the above few posts)! Are any of you with her @ 5/3/5 finding that spec ideal, or are there moments where you find the extra healing from 5/5/3 might've been better?

(I've been unusually unlucky getting X-23's covers, and just hoping to solicit people's personal opinions on those two specs)

danielrandkai

She is def amazing with new im40 and anyone that can tank yellow.

jackstar0

Recently Champed her and wow is she a lot of fun. Switch as boosted backup makes a pretty ludicrous PvE team.

amusingfoo1

I recently championed her (had top tier championed and some extra covers), and I'm really liking her when boosted. OML/XPool/X-23 is just chewing up the hero nodes in The Hunt (Jean/FalCap/SWitch is covering the goon/low level nodes) without using health packs. In fact, I've even used the top node for healing, with them. And for the essentials, just drop XPool (dropping X-23 works fine too, except on the Storm node, as Storm tanks too many colors with them).

As far as covers, I started with her 5/3/5, and probably would still go with that if she's tanking all three colors, but since I usually end up with her only tanking one or two colors, I've mostly been playing her 5/5/3.

And that purple... it's great when it works, but so, so iffy.

Anyway, when I start on Season Sim, I'll probably go with that team. See if I can take that team all the way, in one sitting, without using any health packs (though OML/Iceman/IM40 only used four or five, last season, so the improvement wouldn't be huge). It won't be as good as now, though, as XPool might tank purple. We'll see if that's a fatal flaw (well, relatively).

I also have a champed X-23 and she's been a PvE star while boosted. OML/X-23/4Thor was able to grind me to a top 10 finish for the Duck and I only used 1 health pack the entire time. My X-23 is 5/5/3 for maximum healing and because the trap tile is unreliable. Even with purple at 3 covers, it still does 8700/5800 when boosted, which is plenty.

My 3/5/5 265 (344 boosted) X23 traps do 12k when I match them, paired with SW, every trap get matched. On top of that, she heals 2500 on red, green, purple

TxMoose

with daken/x23 who do you think is better, im40 or witch?
