Keep in mind that I'm sure almost nobody actually leveled him up. If you only have a level 40 Magneto classic he wouldn't look too impressive even boosted against level 141s. Maybe you can argue he's too weak against certain guys and that's a fair assessment (Daken would likely eat him for breakfast), but most of the powerful characters actually have no way to get rid of his trap short of killing him.

I like to push about a day before and ended up in 1009 or so and then a few ppl lost trying to retaliate while my shield was up which now has me up to 1020 now. The 4-9 per match over 900 is real slow going but when you do it at an off time you don't get taken down as much, but it's always a gamble. 2nd was 910 last night, but now is 888 so i think he tried to push again and ended up getting hit harder than he thought so just settled. That's what I like about doing the pushes well before the event ends then shielding up to the finish.

It's beyond me how anybody can believe that this character is anything above trash tier on defense. He's the worst defensive 3* in the entire game. He has three abilities that deal a total of 0 damage. I could care less if he has 2, 3, or 4 red traps out at the same time, because I won't be triggering them unless I get very unlucky and there are no other moves available. The character does nothing besides prevent me from collecting red and matching 4. I should note that at this stage in the game, I still don't know what the Ambush animation looks like, because I have never triggered it despite having it activated against me hundreds of times.

The animation of Ambush is DD doing a round house kick to the opponents head piece. I think it's great and I've KO'd lvl 85 Thor with a few tile matches and then the trigger. The trigger isn't always a 3 red match, but sometimes even when you match a 4 in a row and destroy the red trap IT WILL TRIGGER. Also I learned today that even if Thor's Thunder Strike or Wolverine's Feral Claw change the traps colour, it still persists and I saw Thor match 3 yellows and 'Ambush' was triggered and he got kicked into touch. Really funny to see and I think DD is a fun character for sure.
