    Of course, there's nothing to say we won't soon be getting a 5* Dazzler...

    I hope so. Cos then I'd be able to use her.
    Hopefully it'll be either Punk Dazzler, or Thor dazzler.

    Guys, I have a hunch that the next 4* character might be Dazzler.

    I don't know who started the whole Dazzler thing, but I'm sad to see the end of the Dazzler jokes, anagrams, etc.  

    Who's next?  
    Paste-Pot Pete FTW!
    I believe he goes by Trapster these days...

    Since you devs are in the mood to grant requests, can I have a pony and a toilet made of solid gold?

    Wow! Touché, Brigs...Touché

    I was thinking of collecting 30 red ap and then firing her ability thrice. That's where I got up to 44 tiles from. Unless her red drains every 3 red ap to generate additional 3 strike tiles...

    And @DarthDeVo I don't have obsessive tendencies.  :| I'm just curious about the potential of her powers.

    And It looks like the "upcoming Anniversary characters" (plural) might bring new board mechanics or we'll get both 3* and 5* version of the character. What can be more exciting than Dazzler?

    Can't wait for the anniversary to happen!
    You'll kindly notice I didn't mention you (or any player, for that matter) by name in my original post. And no, I wasn't thinking of you, or really anyone, in particular when I made said comment. 

    In fact, I myself can have some obsessive tendencies when it comes to this game. And I stand by what I said. Someone with a lot of time on their hands will test things out in Sim until they find a way to rack up as much damage as they possibly can with her. Probably more than one person. I'd bet my roster on it. :smile:

    I would think "Classic" Dazzler would have the look from the Xmen Arcade game.  But that's my only knowledge of her besides her 2018 book, which this character art seems to aim for.
    Than you should read more comics/google her history. This is, indeed, her "classic" costume. 

    Well to be fair, "classic" is used a lil loosely by the game.  4cyke isn't really classic, what should be classic wolvie is Daken (yeah I know he started in the yellow, but he was in that brown uni for a long time), and how can Hood be classic anything?  

    Hmm on that note, maybe Arcade next  ;)?
    You’re not comparing apples to apples though. If you had used a character that was called “classic” and then used a modern uni instead, then that would be a good example. Instead of what you did, which is not.

    I wish the same efforts everybody did for getting Dazzler in the game will be the same to get Kitty Pride...

    I nominate Beta Ray Bill as the next unlikely-to-appear forum in-joke.

    Lets talk character.  She looks very solid.  In 4 land she may be the new standard with Carnage and Medusa.  With 5's, her black will not be much of an issue on defense since she will only be tanking 1-2 colors but in 4 land watch out but in pvp this could be insane if applied correctly.  A passive stun when used properly could be game changing.  Could care less about the character, I was hoping for Kitty Pryde myself but she will be an excellent addition to peoples rosters.  And when we see her in action she may become the next dare I say it Gambit (I am worried about this passive stun :) )

    In 5* land, Black Panther hard counters her passive.

    As a huge Longshot fan, I'm very excited about the possibility of this being the first step toward getting him in game as well as they were longtime partners of each other.

    Paste-pot Pete, Arcade, Spider-Ham, Beta Ray Bill, Dr Bong and yet no mention of Impossible Man?

    Contrary to popular belief, her Black Passive Stun is not easy to use.  It requires 2 conditions, you have 2+ friendly specials AND she gets hit harder than normal 4*match damage.  Your consolation prize for her getting hit is a free stun and maybe remove enemy specials.  So, it's a trade off, she gets hurt while you stun the enemy.  With that strategy, she'll need a health pack after every battle.
    On Offense: Let's say you use Carnage and Medusa with Dazzler: attack tiles build up on both sides, you match some of them and eventually they are strong enough to trigger her passive.  If she tanks, you get the free stun for 3-4 turns and remove most of their attack tiles.  Maybe by now you can fire off her Green for some big AOE.  OK, that sounds good, but then what?  Her passive isn't going to trigger again because the enemy attack tiles are gone.  You then have to build up again.  If the enemy is about to fire a power, you can try to put her in front to get another stun, but she's still getting hurt.  Plus, with Carnage, she's only tanking Black, not red or green. 
    Against 5* Match Damage: now this strategy could work against high level 5*s to get constant stuns, but it still requires many special tiles (maybe 4*Grocket?) and for her to tank.  Just to keep this strategy going, she would need burst healing too.  Perhaps 4*Widow could help, but with Grocket on the team as well, she may only tank on Red matches.  If you played her with 5* allies, she may not tank on any colors.
    With Patch?: So, you collect green, Patch creates 6 strong Strikes for each team, Dazzler tanks, stuns for 3 turns and removes all their strikes.  Sounds good right?  Well, then what?  You can't fire Dazzler's Green AOE because Patch used your green.  You won't be getting any more stuns (unless the enemy fires a power). 
    On Defense: it's simple, get rid of their special tiles (like normal) and hit her (like normal).  If you can't get rid of their specials, then bring someone to stun, OR just hit her anyway and take the stun.  You could always just wear her down with match damage and then nuke.  I don't see her Black passive as a real problem.  It's not nearly as bad as Powerman's Black passive.
    Here's my point: her real power lies in her Green AOE.  It's cheap and powerful under the right conditions, which her Red takes care of.  Her Black passive is the back up plan in case the enemy fires a power.  It's just a side bonus to her power set.
