          Looks like Kamala + Dr. Steve will be a good pair in the 3* tier. Heals every time a power is fired!

          5/3/5 seems to be the best build for him at first sight. His purple is pretty much useless as long you aren`t fighting a special tiles spamming character like Blade or Carnage.

          Strange/Daken/Fist looks like they would decimate some trivial pve nodes.

          his passive looks great in pve with anything that can give you some beefy strikes. purple seems overcosted. can fill a blue utility hole in many of the 3* teams that have one like fist/cyke.

              He is squishy. But i think he will be kk/if/im40/cyclops tier. A must have 3* for anyone still playing at that level.

              Is there a better stunner in 3* land? Switch's lasts longer. But this is targeted and so much cheaper (plus damage, PLUS ap destruction!).

              Oh, I will be whaling this (I actually have resources to whale 3stars, unlike 4stars). I hope we can get one of each cover without depending of finishing top 20. At least this time.

              I will probably be switching the powers around a lot, but will probably leave it as 5/3/5 as default. Too bad Eye doesn't remove countdown.

              What is the overall effect/intention behind making the purple power give back purple AP? Why not have it cost less AP at 1 rank and reduce the cost as you rank higher?

              My only guess is to bypass the way the AI would play if paired with cheaper purple users.

              It makes the first cast more expensive.

              Exactly. Should operate much like Human Torch's Fireball; only the first use costs full price.

              Actually the Purple AP return makes the ability active all the time.. meaning that if there are no special tiles out, he can still use his purple to gain purple AP back whereas someone like Daredevil cannot use his purple if there are no special tiles to remove.

              This is horrible for PvP defense if you have a better purple user such as KK like many players already suggested for constant healing. The AI will use purple for 11AP just to gain 3-4 AP back.. stupid.

              I'm gonna have to agree here, the higher cost with purpleflag.png return is just stupid. Needs to simply cost the 9/9/8/8/7 that isn't refunded.

              I like this concept of being cheaper the second, third, etc. time, like HT. And the problem is not the ability, the problem is just the AI is too stupid sometimes. It is the same as Vision overwriting his own tiles over and over again. I guess they won't do it, but the should code something for the AI not using purple if there are not any special tile on the board that could be removed.

              It might even be interesting, if for example you use Strange with other non purple users and chars with passives that do something when abilities are fired.

              But anyway, this is an AI problem, and in the user hands it will work as intended. And we all know that Defense is not that important in this game.

              Strange = Blade s black + Daredevil s purple + Deadpool black with minor tweaks.

                or

                2) The tile destroys 2 enemy AP of its color upon completion and deals 45 damage each turn.

                The CRIMSON Bands are an actual big deal in Marvel Comics, so........no.

                  It's 1). The AP drain happens every turn.
