So I just got free pym gauntlets. Anyone else? Thoughts on them as a whole?

    I received them as well. I have no thoughts about them. Another support I don't plan on doing anything with.

    They should give us Rank 5 , level 200 minimum instead of Rank 2, level 1.

    I really dont understand ppl and their denial to usefulness of supports. Sure they're not gamebreaking or anything, but if you're smart then you can use them to your advantage. Easy example on this free wasp gauntlets:  I've leveled them to 30 (6k+ riso) and they're giving +65 on blue. Thats basicly 200 more damage on m3. Event on 5* chars it actually count (especially during crits) but in 4* tier it's huge. Ive checked two 4* with blue as their top color: lv 370 r4g has 170 blue match dmg and lvl 30 gloves (free suport with low riso investment) increase it by 38%. On lv 303 prof (with blue at 102) thats basicly 65% increase. But you dont have to look at it only as pure dmg increse - they help to manipulate who's tanking what. So I really sugest to take a 2nd look at what you have available in supports as you might be really surprised.
    Those Gauntlets are the only ones who are useful for match damage at low levels.
    Check other supports - they give WAY lower match damage.

    Thats true, they give way lower values but still I was able to swap who was tanking what in 5*. Beside Ive found few more that Im using to my advantage (but also I was disapointed by some others as they were slowing me down). Overal I think that supports are nicd addition, just need adjusting.

    I got them.  Looks like it will pair well with anyone with strong blue based power.  I'm thinking of putting them on champed Strang3 to get more stunning power.

    Why stop there? I think they should include six 5* Wasp covers, and enough iso to level her.

    I got them, and anything free is great, but I was disappointed it’s the 2*, since the 3* has the healing ability.  I’m hoping to pull the 3* and put it on OML to get his healing back to pre-nerf levels.

    I actually think they're pretty useful, they add a good amount of damage to blue. I put them on my champed Nico since there's times when I can't get her to tank any colors to get her tile out. I'm sure there's other cases where you want different characters to tank different colors and that would be helpful.

    Free is good! And the first power is quite useful. I'm happy to get them and will put some RISO into them and use them,

    For comparison, Rank 2 Kimoyo Beads leveled by the same investment gives about 22 blue damage though they also would have a .35x bonus on crits (basing this on values I have seen while leveling the Beads but don't have exact numbers for level 30). While it less of a pure match damage but when placed on someone teamed with Chavez, it adds up to more.

    I got them but just clicked through the message because I was doing DDQ at the time and thought it was the complete-a-node reward or bonus reward. Didn't see what it was actually for.

    I got them, but disappointed that the character specific boost is only for 5* Wasp. I would have liked one that worked for either version.

    If you have it, Wong is definitely the support of choice for Strang3. Even unleveled I find it quite helpful.

    @ Skittledaddy: I don't have Wong, unfortunately.  I decided to add Pym Gauntlets to 3* Spidey since he's boosted right now.  I would love Wong.  But, support tokens are so rare.  I have to wait for it....
