Kevin61 said: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???"7

JHawkInc said:She's a main character in the biggest domestic superhero movie of all time, that's still top ten worldwide. Maybe shocking to think about for long-time Marvel fans, but for a significant chunk of the population she's got more notoriety than a mess of other 5*s (like any of the X-Men, or Goblin or Bolt or Surfer).

Waddles_Pines said:Exactly. A character that most people couldn't pick out in a minute (I really wasn't sure which one she was in the pic...). But, the more important question is, is this release pattern an aberration or are they upping 5* character production. Usually it's 4/4/5, but with Okoye it's 5/4/5...
And here we are.1 -
Meh ... I was hoping for Cable with Deadpool 20

But back on topic: Okoye is going to be a very worthy addition to your roster. Her power set is very appealing. Ignoring her because she’s a “side character” would be foolish, IMO. And at least it’s a new character, not a variant.

At least until/if Fox and Disney merge, then they’ll probably double the character release schedule to fit in all the cross promotional synergy.

You can call her a 5* but she is a 4* in a Tiffany's jewelry box. The power set really is not good enough, IMHO, to be a 5* no matter how popular or unpopular she may be as a Marvel character.1 -
For some reason the news that she's a 5* is really disheartening to me, even though I always expected that the 4* tier had to slow down like the tiers below it have so the 5*s could start to expand. But man, it is a long, long road to get covers for 5*s currently.0

tiomono said:So out of curiosity how would you explain Jubilee? No direct mcu tie in, and a character that would fall under the fox umbrella. Same for Rogue, Nightcrawler, and Gambit.
Doing a cable or deadpool release at or around the time of the deadpool 2 would probably be HEAVILY frowned upon by marvel is not all out restricted and MPQ seems to have one of if not the best marvel gaming relationships I've seen. Heck Peggy cap made it to the comic book world.
Comics and movies aren't equal, at one point it was pretty clear that marvel didn't want ANY mutants or xmen used in anything, they've kind of eased up on that a bit. I haven't seen an official marvel promotion of any kind for deadpool so I'm pretty sure they aren't aboard for it at all.

If we end up with a Cable or a new Colossus in the next couple months, then you have a point.0 -

@Brigby does her black proc for every hit of 5* Spidey's green, or just once for the entire attack?

LavaManLee said:I think her appeal factor is going to depend on what one already has 5*s. If one already has a champed Gambit and GladiThor, she is fairly worthless. Why would I ever substitute her for GladiThor? His Yellow protects everyone, not just heals one person and their Reds cancel out. Give me his green over her passive black any day of the week.

Not strong enough to dethrone Gambit in pvp of course, but good enough to use with gambit in pvp at least. And at first glance would be tougher on D by a small margin since the damage boost starts right away instead of only at 50%.2 -
Note that Thor’s passive tile destruction will not trigger Okoye’s passive, so no super double dipping there, but she will tank for him in some colors depending on their levels. At least red and black, and her match damage is higher than his overall.
Of course, one’s current roster will determine her value, but geez: I am getting super bored of running GamThor over and over and over. And fighting them over and over and over. I just hope someone comes along that shakes things up. It’s no wonder some players are heading for the exits.
And it is somewhat obligatory to point out that many players, who don’t have Classic 5’s mostly covered, will never finish them or take many years to do so. Your best access to 5’s is through Latests. The Classic pool is comically diluted with a soon-to-be 0.68% chance of pulling a specific 5 (once GRRR goes to Classics).

Basepuzzler said:Have to disagree with this. Okoye boosts friendly power damage and you listed the 2 5’s who are best at firing powers repeatedly. She’ll be very useful as a 3rd with those 2, or with just gambit for pvp, or just Thor for pve.

LavaManLee said:Should have been more specific. I agree she might be a worthy third but how often do you need a third? 2/3 of the time in PVP and PVE you need two and she definitely doesn't replace either a champed Gambit or a champed GladiThor. And, is she actually better than running Chavez with GamThor? Personally, I don't think so.1

Those discounting her haven't properly imagined all of the instances in which her black passive will come into play.7
