On the other hand, at 5 black covers, you would have 6 red AP every 2 turn, so depending on what you destroy or match, you can actively use his red every 2-3 turn... but again, this is ok if you can select which tiles to destroy... if not, than IDK.
I was talking about the red and I took the numbers at max in consideration (multiply with 3.11 or so). The purple is fine.
No doubt the 5* seems great, judging the damage alone (maybe even more tiles destroyed). What I meant is that the 3* seems underwhelming, because at 3* range you don't have too many charged tile creators (Ragnarok), and to use 14 AP to deal 1000 damage seems a bit too expensive.
A 3* in 4* land with boosted heroes every week is usually a liability. This week I played boosted Carol, C&D and X-23. Even if you used Bl4de, I would probably killed him before Gambit would actually gathered the required AP for Bloodlust.
From the press release:
Josh Austin: Gambit gets a little selfish with Stacked Deck and will actually block an ally from using a red or purple power—this happens only if the player has a cover in either purple and/or red. So, you would not be able to use Rogue’s Red power (Sugah, You’re Goin’ Down) until Gambit gets downed, stunned, or sent Airborne. Passive powers will still trigger—only powers the player can trigger can be affected.
It looks like the weakest power in the game... but IT NEED TO BE LIKE THAT because gambits power to selfbattery his own power, character who benefice from power casting like Coulson or KK WILL love having gambit on their ranks
On side note... sundenly i see myself using gambit with Agent Venom for for shaking, i mean... ther might times where your purple is a dead wheigth, and agent Venom black pasive trigger each turn shaking the board badly each turn... seen pretty atractive to my. Of course, i one of the few who like agent vemon
In some ways he acts as a glorified goon generating AP every turn.
Just imagine a team of him, 4* StarLord and 4* Grocket for PvE. You could set starlord to 5 yellow for his pasive (ignoring his other powers since you can't use them), get Grocket's strike tiles and be firing Gambits red power for 5 AP nearly every turn with Starlords passive countdown tiles out there (assuming goons are in the node of course).
Update: You can fire this power if there are no enemy tiles out, and it makes the CDs anyways. Win.
Other than that, his best case damage for Aces & Eights at 166 is ~1516 (two Purple charged tiles), plus getting the 6 Purple AP. Cascades are probably not even worth considering, although I guess they'll happen. If there are charged tiles out this is probably better than Hex Bolt (for whatever that's worth). Might be worth trying out with some 4* Thor team ups, since they have a decent chance to make some Red charged tiles, which make this power really spammable.
If Godlike Power wasn't so terrible he might actually make a good partner for Ragnarok.
Also, fwiw, full rainbow team with:
3* Daken and 3* Storm
3* Spider-Man and Quicksilver
3* R&G and Hood
