    No, I did not like the whole battery thing... But yes, I used it.  It was a no-brainer.

    That being said, I feel that this nerf to the 3* version is a bit out of hand... No pun intended.  Why not just keep as is, except add the line "Gambits teammates cannot fire red/purple powers"?

    Exactly. 3* Gambit needed to be tweaked, but this isn't a tweak. 3* Gambit got outright destroyed.

    I feel like they went heavy handed on the 3* due to the 005 gimmick mess.  I also think going heavier on 3* was an attempt to make it appear that they’re willing to drop hammer when needed, and would maybe soften the blow for the 5* buff.

    destroyed as in "he's got 3 skills like any other character in the tier". He's still got a rather hard-hitting purple and two cheap spammable powers for other passives to take advantage of.

    And I can just forget about his 5* for now.  All I own is 1 black and 1 red.  So, now my team can't fire red or purple, and gambit only generates purple, but only has a red for me.

    Maybe a better change would have been "Gambit only generates AP in colours he has active powers for.  Allies can't fire powers in colours Gambit has active abilities".

    Everyone here is crying about Gambit but what I really want to know is:

    a) when will Daredevil enter the "Classic Token Vault"

    and

    b) why is Nightcrawler's Blue attack not AOE?

    Two weeks after the Archangel Legendary Token store Closes, so on or around January 1st, possibly later if the store Closes later than Monday December 18th.

    CL9 Rewards are totally disappointing, let's see some news on 5* progression rewards from 4* to make up for it.

    *Even more updates!
    • The top 10 players (up from 5) in S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level 9 will receive a 4-Star cover
    • Ranks 2 - 5 will receive an additional 4-Star cover
    • Iso-8 Rewards have also been increased in S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level 9

     Why still so stingy?  SCL9 in PvE give 4* at T50, but PvP only T10?  

    PvE T50 = Top 5%
    PvP T10 = Top 2%.  

    PvP should give 4* out at T25 to balance out with PvE SCL9....

    I'm so beyond frustrated with how PvP continues to stagnate and/or get worse.

    We need to chill on tagging Brigby.

    His answer is obvious: This is the information he has been given. We would all like to know more about the decision making processes but there is seldom info to be shared here.

    Your point about Top 2% PvP is a good one, I think it's because it has to do with more brackets than in PvE.
    I have a good feeling that getting 10th place in CL9 PvP may be easier than T5 has been in CL8 (in some time slices). Hopefully the Iso will also be decent.

    T10 in SCL8 PvE get at least two 4* covers (obviously higher, #1, etc., get more) but T11-20 only get 3* covers, while T50 in SCL9 PvE get 4* covers. I can finish T20 in SCL8 if I really want to, but I don't because the reward for burning myself out just to stay in T20 versus relaxing, having fun, and getting T50 is just 500 more Iso. Obviously the 4* cover for a T50 finish in SCL9 is to reward people for moving up, but it still doesn't seem right (to me) to give two 4* covers for T10 in SCL8 but only give 3* covers for a T20 finish.

    His Purple is fine. His Black however is garbage. Do you really see yourself using it?

    Of course you'll use it.
    Fire black to charge tiles on the board when there are red or purple matches readily available. Or, get 7 red on hand first, then fire black to create the charged tiles you need to fire red efficiently. 
    The team damage stinks, but plan to just play it once and that will be fine (or bring team healers as mentioned Kamala, Strange, Meduasa).
    Bring another black user, with another character who makes use of the other colors.
    Easy, fast, efficient, fun.

    Only a few hours left until this is live.   Are we going to get the breakdown for SL9 PVP?  I know some things were mentioned, but not all the details. Like 1st place, ally rewards etc.

    When will we get Scl9 full season/event info for pvp? Because season prejoin starts pretty much in the next few hours.

    After giving the the same quality thought as Demiurge has given into all their nerfs the last several years.

    P.S. If players keep spending time and money without holding Demiurge accountable, they will not change.  They improved at lot in this game, but their nerf policy has been the worst of any game I’ve ever played.  Players know this is not an exaggeration.

    It’s absolutely an exaggeration.
