    ^What he said.

    But she doesn't pair that great with Kamala and Strange. Her healing abilities are more than enough if she's paired with a tile spammer. Kamala is the one who really doesn't fit into this team- her healing only works if you fire a power and both Medusa and Strange attack almost only through passives. There's also a lot of overlap on purple. It's a slow team and not so great on defense.

    I've used KK with IM40 and CMags. Great damage all around.

    Strange can really be used with anyone, as he's mostly used for the auto damage but the stun is great too.

    Idk what 4* you have but I find Bl4de to be a decent self healer for his green if you meet the 7 red AP condition. X-23 is a really good healer but I find her green and purple to be too cumbersome.

    Cloak & Dagger self heal as a passive once they have stopped putting yellow on the board but you will need to switch them with their purple to do so. C&D are more of a utility/support character so you may want to pair them with a team mate who can make use of their black tile generation like 3* Cyclops or Black Panther or especially 4* Iron Fist, as you probably wont use Cloak's black power too much.

    I have been playing for awhile and was wondering which 4*s I can look into building once I get there.

    For the most part, build the ones you get covers for. Both Wasp and Iron Fist would make good partners for the  4* Cage you already have. (That was you, right?)

    It was me that you looked at.  Right now I run Gwen and rocket/groot with cage.  I guess I should use 3* iron fist at some point

    You might consider using a protect tile generator instead of a third healer if you're trying to mitigate as much damage as possible. C4ge is godmode for this against goons, and Mr. F makes strong protects with his stun in addition to burst healing when friendly tiles are matched.

    Also, those two work really well together.

    For pve if you are looking at reducing damage try 4cage with lockjaw.  I would love to try that combo especially with somebody like Gemora or Carnage or another cheep tile spammer.  If you have 5 Spiderman and MM I would assume Spider Gwen is a great healer as well but I would not know about that one :)

    Mitigation is better than trying to heal. 4* cage pumps out a ton of protects passively, and even falcap and thing can get you taking minimal damages from even powers relatively quickly.

    But the best defense is a good offense. If you kill the enemy before they get a move off, you'll just have the minimal match damage!
