    Quick set of answers to questions in the other thread:

    Her Passive stacks per 2 friendly tiles when she is hit at the damage threshold. So 6 tiles on the board would be 3 turn stun, 6 tiles removed at max level
    Her Passive procs *after* attending damage. So a cascade that started with enough damage to proc her ability will finish, *then* Dazzler will stun.
    Her Passive's enemy special tile removal and stun are independent of one another. If there are no tiles to remove, it will still stun, and it will still remove tiles even if the opponent is immune to stun.
    Her passive will not proc on friendly damage.

    This text seems extraneous and more confusing than just leaving it out.

    Overall, she seems rather versatile, which I'm appreciating for a character that could have easily been written off as a joke.
    My first thought was pairing her with Gamora to get the most out of the stun and her green. Run Dazzler at 5/3/5 and Gamora at 3/5/5. You'll be flooding the board with tiles in no time. A nice 3rd for the pairing would be C&D. They'll give you the full rainbow, nice yellow and cheap purple. And they can fuel Gamora's black or add more tiles.
    Not quite as good as C&D, but 4*BP or Nova both would have a yellow that'll add more tiles and a red that packs a punch.

    I like the idea of Gamora to capitalize on the passive stun, as a third I'd say Medusa to keep the blue & green flowing. The downside is unless you're just starting the 4* transition Gamora will probably tank red & black. Thorkoye is also a pretty obvious pairing for her green, but her black & red would be useless.

    IM40 & Nico could be fun. No active black & they overlap on yellow, but Dazzler should tank her colors & have red to spit out strikes or green to AoE. Nico will help with special tiles, too, and potentially remove CDs & another stun. Otherwise I can't remember the last time I saved up 30 red to make the most of her power.

    When Bewilder finally went off and stole 21 Red AP even though neither of you had a Red active power, probably.

    This passive could be devastating in pvp on the right team you could very easily stun anybody on turn 1 or 2, so she can slow down any team you face and if played correctly you might even be able to lock down any 5 star with the exception of BP.  Yes she will force you to eat health pack since you need her to be hit to cause the stun but it is going to be worth it to some people late in the pvp game.  She is a attack last person, so you can avoid those stuns when they will hurt you most.  I will be very interested to see her in practice.  I think we will see a lot of her.

    I just realized her Red is basically a better version of 2* Wolverines Green.

    5/3/5
    I championed Dazzler (level 270, 5/3/5) three days ago and tried several teams to bring out the best of her. The characters, which she has worked best with, are Nico (5/3/5) and 4* Panther (5/3/5).

    Try to collect yellow & purple AP first so you can flood the board with friendly special tiles. Once you fired Nico's purple and Panther's yellow, you need to gather green AP for Dazzler's AoE.  When you can use it, Nico will have increased the strenght of your special tiles in the meantime, so you're probably able to knock out the opponent's team. 

    It's fun to play, since it combines stuns, special tile creation, powerful passives, a nuke (Panther's red) and a cheap AoE.

    PS: The animation of Dazzler's red is really nice to watch. Well done!

    I've been having fun using Dazzler in Hearts of Darkness, pairing her with Okoye/Medusa. Dazzler's (relatively) cheap green (7AP) has been especially effective at clearing out entire teams of foes with a few team-up APs in the bank.

    I had awesome fun in the loaner node when you had to play Dazzler and Mohawk Storm together. Throw down a Hailstorm, then follow it up with Sounds of Light and Fury for massive team damage. That node is usually a bit of a drag, it was fun to play characters with awesome synergy for once!

    (though it helps that my Dazzler has 5 green covers already...)
