So after searching through 25 pages for any mention of the order of characters when going into a fight. I just recently realized or found that when it comes to my lvl 80 Hulk and lvl 80 Patch that depending the order of them depends on whose symbol shows on the tiles. So for instance a lvl 80 Patch and lvl 80 Hulk both have 42 in green and 38 in red when matching tiles. So in a pvp setting if the characters set are "recommended character"/ Patch / Hulk, then the green and red tiles will have Patch's symbol. But if the characters are set "Recommended Character" / Hulk / Patch, then Hulk's symbols show on the green and red tiles.

So in my realization I have found that this now adds another level of strategic planning to the game. Should I keep Hulk out front to take damage to activate his Anger ability or should I keep Patch out front to take damage since he has auto heal?

Thoughts?

    Patch's red pretty much requires him to be out front.
  • Definitely Patch in front, because his red "Best there is" does damage depending on how many tiles have his icon on them. You always want him as your highest level char on the team.

    Patch will heal damage coming into him as well pretty effectively.
