Your latest fun team combination

Alex502

Okay, I just had a few awesome combos I felt like sharing. First, I used 3* Thanos and Vision, which made my inner nerd chuckle (if you know why, you know why) and their third was inconsequential. Any easy black power worked well, but point being that Visions blue made his match damage soar, dropped a minion almost instantly every time, and that triggered Courting Death, ending the others. I smashed through 4 plays of the first three nodes within about a half hour, maybe less. The team I used was 4* Starlord with Antman. Wow, this combo rocks!! With the current power up, Starlord is unstoppable. Wait for an enemy power, building yellow, red, then maybe blue or purple, but then BAM drop Antman's yellow power, then Starlord's red. Instant kill, as it tops out somewhere near 20k damage for only 5 yellow and 6 red AP each punch. (Antman makes 5 countdowns, and Starlord's yellow make six) That's madness!! 3* Punisher is an easy third for them, but I suspect 4* Ghostrider is a better choice. If only mine was better.

Actually, if available, Carol is an even better choice.  If all of Ant-Man's Ants! countdowns survive, the resulting strikes will allow you to finish off remaining enemies on match damage.

Vision's yellow is one of the few powers in the game that can reduce friendly Court Death damage (from 3* thanos); if you can arrange to have it out before dropping somebody, it'll save you a little health.

The Starlord/Ant is a great combo.  Never thought of it.  Star's cost reduction allows a litter of strikes to get out there.  My Star isn't quite there yet to be powerful enough in the red hit, but I see the potential.

For the Thing, 3* Daredevil, 3* Punisher node in DPvsMPQ, I was screwing around with a team of:
Rogue (5/3/5) {could vary, but she happened to be boosted this event and jumps to the front frequently to stall the AI team} 
Elektra (5/x/x)  
Peggy (5/3/5)

The goal was to get 11 blue, 7 purple and 9 red AP (optional 5 green AP for Rogue).  You then punch some non-Thing character with Peggy, to deal Thing damage while triggering his yellow.  You then stun the other two characters with Peggy and steal two of Things beefy protect tiles with Elektra (with the optional use of Rogue's green).  At least in SCL7, it was game-over every time I pulled it off.  It's not a reliable, PVP-worthy team, but there's something inherently satisfying about having success with such a janky, opponent-specific team

Rogue and Coulson against any team that has a purple (primary?).

Power Siphon causes the AP from matches gained to double.
Coulson's Best Laid Plans charges the tiles you swap.

Add on (Switch) if you feel it isn't enough.

Try 4* Wasp instead of 3* Fist and don't even worry about primary color.

Full rainbow coverage. 6 blue and Wasp's countdown will steal enemy AP while Coulson will generate extra AP every turn even if she targets an empty color. And if they match Wasp's tile, she'll make them regret it. Rogue's green is a great AP denier and generator with plenty of powers to help spend it if you don't want her going super Saiyan too soon. Coulson's purple will get you more AP. Rogue's red hits hard and will get you a little bit of AP. Wasp's black has a nice stun and hits hard. And you can chose between Coulson's countdowns for damage and AP or Wasp's cheap attack/protect tiles to annoy.

Only real downside to this team is all the banners you'll be seeing.

Made an edit before ya posted after remembering what 3*Fist actually color changed.

I like the idea of both Wasp and Switch on the team with them. Wasp for the color theft. Switch for the Plan abuse. Switch has been working out better but I know from experience that 4*Wasp can fit on any team and do well.

My recent fun team was 3*: Dr Strange, Human Torch and IM40. It happens to be a rainbow team as well.

Usually, I will save up 18 blue ap (through IM40's yellow and matching blue tiles) to stun two characters and down the other character with Human Torch's Red. Then I activate Human Torch's Green to deal more damage before the start of my turn. I will save up 20 Green ap before using his Green to deal the full damage and a couple extra green ap for buffer.

It's even more fun with wave nodes because if I downed the last opponent of the wave with Flame Jet or Dr. Strange's blue, it's still my turn.

Solid team esp with Torch boosted.  I like Vulture over IM simply because of the ease of recharge and ability to use blue if I need to clear some opponent special tiles.  But, IM does feed purple to Strange so.  Either way, it’s solid. 

And yes, 18 blue is the magic number.  Double stun + torch green crushes.

JJ and boosted Valkyrie has been a lot of fun in the Thanos PVP so far.

Alex502

Sorry but Wasp and Peggy are a way better combo. Takes only the 11 Blue and 7 Black to stun the entire enemy team for 3 turns. Plus if you can combo Wasp's black with Peggy's red, that's an instant down most times. And Punisher is a better Green/Black as he can make strikes for Wasp to flip.

Alex502

Okay, update to the Starlord/Antman combo. Using 3* Hawkeye and Wasp is almost more fun. Hawkeye's blue drops to only three, same with Wasp's yellow, just get Hawkeye's purple off, flip those tiles, and drop Starlord's red at the optimal moment. Much slower team, but much more flair on the field. Better for the weaker runs. Dropping Antman's yellow for only 5 then Starlord's red at only 6 is just too good a nuke. I've dropped top tier teams in one go because of that. Also, Antman can follow up with that mean Grow power at only 14 blue instead of 18, which is a HUGE boost to his workability. Just can't get over how good those two are together.

rogue and Reed against a team with a member with blue as the highest color.
rogue and coulson against someone with purple.

PS: realized I kept Punisher when I needed a Green/Purple instead. Jean Grey is the perfect match for them, but it ultimately slows down the whole team. Medusa is a great alt choice, still giving up the green, but fuels the team much better. A really good 3* for Wasp is Sam Wilson. Surprising how well his purple and her yellow can wipe the enemy team in match damage. I tend to stack about 15 yellow, then fire his purple.

Another truly excellent 3* for Wasp is Beast. His blue makes such easy tiles to grow for Wasp, and his green is super easy to follow up with. Just wait until you have that 8 blue as a pocket stash, then start firing Beast's blue at 14 AP, so you don't lose Wasp's passives. Any Purple/Red is an excellent team for those two. Starlord, Medusa, 3* Gambit, Elektra, Drax. Honestly, Drax for the countdown synergy.

Another fun 3* pair for W4sp is Bullsey3 and Blad3.
Other than occasionally swaping Nico in place of W4sp, this is my current go-to team for DDQ's Big Enchilada.

JJ and Rogue.  Rogue is a beast...boosted she can pretty much one shot champed 5s.  She almost feels like a 4.5 star character.  In fact given her damage resistance she's got more health and does more damage than many of the 5s.  And JJ is just awesome.  The MPQ gods were smiling upon me when they made her my first 5.

Alex502

Oh. Also. Since I'm still on this kick, Antman/St4rlord/Quicksilver. Amazing. Starlord can drop costs for Quicksilver without him needing his locked tiles out, and if you have enough green to drop it a few times, then use his black to make a blue match? Awesome. And still the yellow/red combo. Quicksilver's black just makes it so easy to get the colors I want.

After playing around with who I've got champed and boosted, I've been going through most of the Simulator matches with Rogue, Valkyrie, and Hawkguy. Rogue is basically just there so I have green match damage covered and to buy time for the other two to get going. The really fun move is Hawkguy's purple into Valkyrie's red. All those Strikes apply to each of her five hits. Usually drops two Opponents, and if there's anyone left standing, the purple countdown generally takes care of them.

I don't always manage to pull that together because both of those powers are kind of expensive, but with the strongest colour at red, Valkyrie and Hawkguy's black passives are feeding both red and purple, so it's easier than it might seem at first.

My Valkyrie is 1/5/4.  But, whenever a 4* that I like is boosted, I throw some ISO into them and toy around.

With 5* wasp being boosted, and having strongest blue, I decided to use 5Wasp/Val/Strang3 together.  My Strang3 is now 265.  Strang3's blue trips Val's black.  I think you see where this is going.  It's an endless blue battery for stuns and damage.
