Anon said: I have both Grocket and Gamora set as bonus heroes. I want them both champed but can't help but feel like it would be a better idea to focus one at a time. Who's the better character between the 2?

Who's the better character between the 2? Grocket. Definitely. Because that's what I did.Gamora has one selling point: the insta-kill, but you'll likely not trigger it before the enemy is half-dead anyway so.Grocket: 1500+ damage boost at start, a 6000+ AoE attack with lots of free AP generation, 1200 passive damage + constant attack tile generation.
himatako said: I saw more people start using 4*R&G + 4*Gamora teams in Simulator today, so I decided to come up with a counter team. 4*Deadpool + X-23 work really well against 4*R&G since X-23 can tank and true heal herself (especially with 5 red), meanwhile any damage will activate Deadpool's black, dealing damage back to them. There will be many black cd tiles from Deadpool's black, so the 3rd member could be:- Coulson for free AP- Drax for even more damage- Carol for buffing tiles (might not be ideal, since it'll take a while before you'll get to create strike tiles with X-23) or you can bring Medusa, since X-23 will tank purple for her. Keep collecting purple to heal yourself then use Medusa's purple to steal those strike tiles. I could beat 4* R&G team with this team, even though my Deadpool isn't champed and his black isn't even at 5 cover. It should be much more effective when my Deadpool is champed with 5 black.

himatako said: zodiac339 said: And you never considered how that early boosted damage will activate Thing's passive? Oh, I have but my Thing isn't fully covered and underleveled, unfortunately. I also prefer keeping Deadpool's black going since it helps taking out someone like Medusa or Peggy really fast. I'd like to try Thing + Wasp too. Converting protect tiles from Thing's yellow so that you can activate Thing's yellow again sounds like it could be fun! (though you need enough yellow for both strike and protect tiles on the board)
Just out of curiosity, just how broken would it be if certain characters from the comic that legitimately joined the GotG in the comics (either temporary or long term) were registered as such in the game?
I'm talking the likes of Agent Venom, Thing, Iron Man, and (the real kicker) Captain Marvel.
I mean strictly speaking I can see them not doing it for Iron Man or Captain Marvel (as that would make her even crazier), but Thing and Agent Venom really probably should count I think.

It's instant damage, made even more ridiculous paired with, say, Medusa. (In Shield Sim, I was downing at least one enemy usually no later than 3rd turn.) Their other two powers require a little more time to get going. Blue is nice, but it costs a little much for a tile that might be easily matched away. Green has potential to be matched away and self-damage, but the free match every turn makes up for that, I think.I can only speculate, but I think teaming them up with Coulson & Drax would be bonkers, though likely weak on defense. The obvious Carol & Coulson pairing seems crazy as well. While this is true, it's also most and highly likely that those strike tiles will be matched away within just a few turns. The blue skill / Rocket's Pack, can possibly also be matched away of course, but it's also possible to throw it out again if that should happen (hence, I'm calling for a 5/3/5 build)I tried them with Medusa and Gamora (3*) in the Shiel Simulator and yes, indeed, this was absolutely bonkers (bonkers at 3 yellow covers, super-bonkers at 5 yellow covers).

talleman said: Is there any 3* that give R&G as champ reward right now?
Dormammu said: Yeah, 4R&G is the focus of most of my frustration with PvP. The SHIELD sim is especially lousy to play in because of how ubiquitous they are there, and that used to be one of my favorite arenas to play in. They've also sucked the joy out of PvE, because using them is mandatory for a 4-star player in SCL 7 or 8 due to the speed needed to compete for placement. The thing is, I can't claim 4R&G is overpowered. They're not. In fact, alone, I find them to be a rather bad 4-star and there are counters against their strike tile generation in PvP situations.
In the meantime, a Grockmora player has won two more matches.
Grocket aren't so prevalent because they're unbeatable, they're just way faster than anything else on offense against every kind of team. That's why they're king of PvE.
Dormammu said: They counter themselves equally fast in PvP partnered with Carol and Rhulk.Make sure Rhulk makes the first match so he's out front. He'll start spewing out passive anger countdowns, which Carol will use to buff Grocket's tiles, which then makes the anger countdowns even more damaging. These matches are generally over after 2-3 turns. You'll go through a health pack about every other match, but at least you can burn through a bunch of Grocket/Gamora/Medusa teams quickly and hope you get something else in your nodes.
