    Wow her artwork looks good and I really like her abilities as a solid Support character. It looks like MPQ hit a homerun with the character the players voted for.

    Brigby, when can we expect her skills preview on the Character thread?

    Looks like a solid support character. And the art looks fantastic. Looking forward to getting to try her out.

    But whomever decided Venom Bomb after a release event needs to be beaten with a stick.

    What part of dragging an under-covered and under-leveled 4* through essential nodes in one of the game's harder events immediately after release says "fun?"

    It's like releasing a new flavor of ice cream, and only serving it with a nice thick layer of ants on top.

    To be fair her specialty is dealing with special tiles so maybe it won't be so bad

    She looks like an excellent support character -- my main nitpick is that apart from generating AP to eventually fuel Quasi-Sonic Scream she doesn't seem to synergize with her husband at all.

    Josh Austin: Loki’s ability just moves around colored tiles and Doc Ock will destroy enemy strike tiles, but Medusa will steal any tile that is touched by her hair transforming it from an enemy tile to a friendly tile. While Loki and the good doctor provide utility, Medusa brings it in spades.

    At power level 4, Doc Ock's Manipulation will destroy swapped enemy Attack, Strike and Protect tiles. Even at level 3 it'll destroy both Attack and Strike tiles. Stealing them is arguably more useful than destroying them, but Doc also does damage for each destroyed tile, so it evens out.

    Dat suit.

    I'm in love.

    MY GIRL!!!!! I've been begging for her for awhile, now.

    I am also sad, though, that she has almost absolutely zero synergy with her husband, as well. Shouldn't she have grabbed charge tiles and counted them as matches, or something cool like that? That is definitely a big missed opportunity, there.

    To be fair, she's no longer with black bolt in the current comics, so it would make sense why there's only minimal synergy (her yellow for ap gain)

    And also, I would have LOVED to have seen at least ONE offensive move from her.

    She has done many many many many amazing exoskeleton suits and Hulk sized fists and battering rams and other tremendously cool stuff with her hair for offense, so again, missed opportunities.

    She has truly one of THE MOST diverse and interesting power sets of characters in existence, so this sky really was the limit for this one........

    Is her red not an offensive move?

    I personally would consider it an offensive move, although it does appear to be more of a damage-over-time attack, as opposed to a direct damage move, such as Iron Man's Repulsor Blast or Human Torch's Fireball.

    A better description would be her Regis like Human torches flame jet.

    Exactly. "Bangs" is just another name for a fringe. She ain't got no fringe yo.

    Patch has a new combo partner with a little more health? Nice.

    And if people want to complain about star levels, complain about Beast (6 PhDs) being a lower rarity than Professor X (5 PhDs).

    commandpointsbig.pngUnlocked. Please keep this thread clean and civil. If someone has an issue with something in the game or is offended in anyway, then I encourage them to please feel free to contact D3/Demiurge/CS and report it.

    Understand that I'm not trying to censor anyone or that I condone certain view points. It's just that discussing certain topics will only lead to arguments, insults, trolling and flame baiting. This is not the place for such things. Even if they start with the best intentions, they will only end with warnings and bans.

    Thank you for understanding
    Danger.
