Hi Everyone,

"The head of the Dora Milaje, an all-female special forces group, Okoye is a fiercely loyal protector of Wakanda who isn't afraid to question her king, but would defend him with her life. A staunch fundamentalist who is as formidable with her spear as she is with her tongue, Okoye finds herself torn between her allegiance to her country and her king when T'Challa begins to challenge ancient Wakandan rules."

Check out the brand new 5-Star Okoye (Warrior General), and find out how you can recruit her onto your team!

(Cover Artist: Terry Dodson)

5-Star Rarity (Epic)
Heroes, Team Cap
blacktilepng yellowtilepng 
(Abilities listed at level 450, Power Level 5)
Wakanda Forever! - blacktilepng 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 yellowtilepng 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.

Piercing Throw - 11  AP
Okoye hurls her spear at the enemy, striking them at their weak point. Deals 12472 damage and destroys a chosen row, dealing 2494 damage for each tile destroyed in the enemy's strongest color. Destroyed tiles do not deal damage or generate AP.

    Restores health? As in really restores and not just boosting?

    Gambit slayer? think about how often gambit casts powers, she's a gambit multiplier!

    Looks like she'll pair well with Black Panther (Civil War). At least in theory. (or it may be one of those things where they have some neat synergy but it isn't enough to define a new meta so people won't use it often)

    I like when characters pair up well like this. That is to say, characters who work together in the comics also working well together in the game (like Iron Fist and Luke Cage).

    I do agree that it would be nice to see health and match damage for previews like this. Since she seems aimed to pair up with BP(CW), knowing match damage to compare the two (and see which one will tank which color, and who will be in front, which is relevant for both Panther's red passive and Okoye's black passive), that would be nice.

    With only about 100 pulls in my hoard atm I was worried they’d release a 5* I really wanted.  Thankfully this isn’t it.  Now I’ll have plenty of time until she rotates out to get 200 more pulls.

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

    Interesting passive. The main way to exploit it would be to have a cheap AOE, but there's none in the 4/5* territory.

    Maybe as a third in 5* Hawkeye/Coulson? Coulson's countdowns do damage. It says increase on the damage though, so I assume it won't work on Hawkeye's arrows that don't do any damage.

    If you have 5 TU AP, Coulson's countdowns do like 6k damage. Get to 9 TU AP and they're doing 11k each.

    Is there any other combo that can span quick damage in the 4/5* realm?

    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.

    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.

    Clagger seems like a great 4* for this.  Their purple only costs 3 under certain conditions, so quick and high damage if you have enough TU tiles.

    Oooo, at first I thought it was only active powers, but the wording does seem like any power, which would include passives. That would make 5* Strange, um, crazy. Just collect TU AP and watch enemy teams melt.

    I can hardly wait until Lady Stilt Man becomes a 5*.

    Better keep hoarding.

    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.

    Thanks!

    That makes Okoye/Strange a crazy PVE team against goons.

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