I'm really glad she's a 5* as that means Iron Spider will be a 4*! Also, she seems like she could be a really solid 5* support character.

Wakanda Forever! -  Passive
Okoye fights to protect Wakanda at all costs. Damage from friendly powers is increased by 1321 for each Team-Up AP you have. Okoye's base Team-Up match damage is increased by 90%. At the start of the turn, if Okoye is not in front, destroy 1 friendly Team-Up AP.

Indomitable Spirit - 7  AP
Okoye dutifully protects her allies with stoic conviction, not letting anything break her composure. Restores 1765 health for each Team-Up tile on the board, then converts 4 random basic tiles to Team-Up tiles.

Two questions for Brigby: 

1) RE: "Damage from friendly powers is increased by 1321 for each Team-Up AP you have." Is this active powers only, or does it include passive powers?

2) Is her heal a true heal or a burst heal? And is it healing her only, or is it a team heal? It sounds like it's just healing her, but the "Okoye dutifully protects her allies" bit leaves that open to interpretation.

1) It does seem to include passive powers. Example: Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange) dealt over 9,000 damage from his Flames of the Faltine, when Okoye was on the team.

2) She only heals herself, but it is a true heal.

1) Awesome! 

2) A team true heal for 7 AP would have been insane, so that makes much more sense.

Does that passive boost work for Thanos too?

I have a feeling it won't since thanos stuns the team before he deals aoe .
But I could be wrong

We'd need official word, but my guess is her passive will apply to any passive damage that's triggered (which would include 'Court Death') but probably not damage multipliers attached to passives that are not triggered (like America Chavez's 'Punch Everyone.') I'd think it would apply to Medusa's 'Entanglement', but we will see.

Correct me if i'm wrong but Black Panthers yellow uses up team-up AP while Okoye wants as much team-up AP as possible. Seems counter productive to me.

fun_and_gun

will she have a wigged variant?

I don't think it'd apply to Thanos, since I think his stun processes before anyone's passive.  But that's a question for Brigby

That's correct. Since Thanos (The Mad Titan) stuns his allies before dealing damage, the bonus damage from Okoye does not apply.

Now Thanos (Modern) on the other hand...

It's a bit trickier trying to test America Chavez, but I believe Okoye's damage increase does apply to Ticket to the Multiverse.

Okoye's damage increase does not apply to Medusa's Entanglement.

*Updated the damage values for Piercing Throw, as those were level 3 values, not level 5

I thought it was a touch low, but figured that it also applied her passive's damage on top to make up for it.

Does it apply her passive on top of it?

KC_Hammer

I miss the marvel.com interviews.

Patradis

Her passive combined with DD's sonar strike...one cascade is all you need.

Does the damage apply to countdowns such as those produced by gambit, Hawkeye and coulson

Black Panther spends team-up AP to deal extra damage with his yellow.  Okoye can spend that yellow AP (that Black Panther can't use) to heal herself and generate more team-up tiles (that could cascade into team-up matches on a favourable board).

It's hard to say how good this synergy is without seeing the characters in action though: what are the chances they'll be paired up in a hard node in the next Simulator run?

She looks like a potential partner for Gambit but nothing groundbreaking. She won’t replace him on any teams and she won’t be the answer for him in a matchup. 

I hate sounding like a broken record, and I’m sure it comes across as such, but I feel like every 5* character that is released has a maximum potential of being a sidekick until Gambit is nerfed. You have to ask yourself two questions:

1. Does she enable a non-Gambit team to reliably beat a Gambit team?

2. Is she better than a half-health Thor?

Number one is a solid no unless I’m missing something. You still need AP to fire powers and get her bonus. You’re probably dead before then.

She has a chance at number two, because she can boost Gambit’s powers with her passive and tank some colors (including TU) plus heal up.

Hm, could this be a sign the 4* tier is starting to fossilize some, and the new focus will be on growing out the 5* roster? If so, i really hope we start seeing 5*s being multi-fed by many 4*s to make it more possible to get them. #StillDontHaveLumbercap

I'm hoping they can increase the percentages of getting 5* from Latests and Classics. Okoye is the 25th 5*; the current 15% rate is a joke

Looks like I'll be dumping my horde on this vault. I don't have 5* Black Panther yet and I wouldn't mind some Peter Parker covers. 

veny

Very "unique" set of colors - OML and Black Panther have exactly the same and considering the amount of 5*s... meh
Anyway, cant wait to try her with 5* Hawkeye and 4* Star Lord

Why is she a 5 star? Very confusing....

What the tinykitty??  I understand that the star rating is rarity and not based on powers but a character that is essentially background support as a 5*, my first reaction was "Huh???"
