So I busted open my hoard of CP and now I have the choice between maxing out and championing X-23 or Thing. Thing is fully covered and sitting at 150 and X-23 will get her 13th cover on the last season PVP event.

I really was hoping that this would be a decision between these 2 and Rulk but that didn't happen. Of course, then I wouldn't need to ask for advice. I would be championing him. icon_lol.gif

Roster in the sig is up to date after all the pulls. Any advice would be appreciated.

    to me they're very similar to each other in power/utility. x23 will play ok with your OML. thing will play ok with your xpool. thing just had his boost and x23's is next week and it sounds like there will be some xmen themed offseason events? so having her as a choice might be nice (note jean is also boosted, so....). i'll say that neither are fast characters (unless you get that trap off successfully quickly, which rarely happens). I did thing first and got him before his boost for this round and I've used him extensively this week. it worked out because he had very little overlap on colors with daken and doom. x23 completely overlaps with kk for the first pvp of her boost, so that doesn't work. one other consideration is cw2. when we flipped over to team cap in cw1, I relied heavily on thing in rounds 7 and 8. him, xpool and hood were my go-to team and thing was just used as a giant meat shield for xpool retaliations and hood slowed the ap down.

    thing advantages: xpool synergy, cw2 boost for team cap side
    x23 advantages: OML synergy, offseason weekly boost starting

    sorry I don't have clearer advice, but its really a preference thing. initially I thought thing would work well in LRs with doom and mystique but he's not that scary and gets hit quite a bit. both can have value in pve, but I'd give an edge to x23 there just for the true healing. you might not use either any in pvp unboosted (except for maybe shield sim - I go OML/thing/xpool and can float higher than my ice/im40/xpool team did, but they still get hit).
