***** The Hulk (Bruce Banner) *****

OnyxSnake

Cap and IMan are from Civil War the movie so they look the part. This Hulk is just a Hulk they wanted in the game with no background other than he is Hulk and Banner.

Anyone else seeing gamma ray passsive not firring properly about half the time?

So I managed to pull 2 purple for 5* hulk and have him at 0\0\2. Does hulk get both of his powers when he transforms even though I only have purple? If he does he could be useful for pve just for the free match.

Yes, he gets both even with 1 purple cover. The extra match is nice, but doesn't generate ap. That can be irritating when he takes a match 4 in a color your really want.

His powers seems to get stronger with more purple covers too (so purple makes barber's transformation easier AND it makes hulk stronger).

More purple gives him a better haircut? Count me in!

I've got a 1/0/1 banner and I think he's loads of fun. It is annoying when he takes matches you want so I can't help thinking that they should either make hulks match do double damage or make It collect ap as it is now it's a bit of a nuisance and I'd rather he didnt do it.

Damn autocorrect!

I just got The Other Guy and my Banner is now 2/0/1. Paired him with RHulk and OML for (what I thought was) rainbow.

His powers may be random and unreliable but hot damn it was fun. Collect green and pink to transform and protect the countdown tile, and once he transforms it becomes kinda awesome to get an extra turn, even if it doesn't give AP. It's a lot of match damage. Even undercovered, his transforming means he's still useful in the hard nodes that I've been using the team in.

Funnily though Banner's colours of Blue Black and Purple becomes Green Red and Purple when Hulk takes over, which makes me lose on blue, missing out on rainbow. Something to bear in mind when figuring out his team.

but...makes him completely protect rulk in the process...perfect for pve

Thought the same thing in the CW rerun, when IM was butchering me, and tried using Banner as a meat shield for GSBW. Turns out he steals a lot of your matches if he's tanking.

I've messed with him only a few times. so you don't get ap for his hulk passive matches? if so, that blows. that would make him a good character. now I know why people think he's bottom tier. allowing that ap would make him a solid character. I don't think it would make him op.

This one is really an odd char.

First Banner, who has two other powers, that almost nobody cares about, just like a meat shield until he transforms (I don't even know why Devs gave him 3 powers ). Then Hulk making matches that don't produce AP. This is really a bummer, it can hurt your chances of pulling green or red when you need it the most, so this makes him just an ideal partner for chars that don't use green or red (like GG or OML). The extra match damage with the OML strikes can really add a lot of damage fast, and the AoE can also add a lot of damage with the strikes, but they are not that strong on their own, so I guess you should always use him with OML.

After Devs released BB, I have the impression BB has the better version of two very similar powers (green nuke and extra passive damage) and almost makes Banner obsolete, Banner should still be more resilient in PvE specially. Well, maybe BB+Banner+OML can be an interesting team

I don't get why he has three powers in Banner form, but only two in Hulk form...even though he has three colors in Hulk form, and even though one of his Banner powers is about as useful as Hot Dog Stand.

TxMoose

shouldn't banner and Natasha be team IM? I get not having too many 5s on one side, but you keep coming out with 5s that belong on one side (especially Natasha)....

Mitchjewitz

In the movie black widow was initially team iron man but spoiler alert betrayed him. This 5* black widow is based off the movie character. So no affiliation to either side is appropriate. And hulk at least in the cinematic universe never picked a side.

TxMoose

they felt strong enough to put every other bw and 3* hulk on team IM. unless you have a functional bss or are in an mmr that can run rulk, his red is weak. but I've gone off topic.

What if his match causes cascade(s), do you gain AP from any matches after the initial one Hulk makes?

monsieurmojo

No. His turn is treated the same as an enemy turn as far as AP goes. Nothing from the match or the potential cascade. Don't know if this changes past 2 purple covers.

monsieurmojo

Now that I'm thinking about it, why isn't Banner affiliated with Team Iron Man? Every other Hulk iteration is. It would make a lot more sense than Silver Surfer.

Blahahah

Because Hulk is a strong independent green guy who don't need no Iron Man.

monsieurmojo

Ha! Fair enough. It's just Cho, Shulk, and Indestructible Hulk that are more codependent.
