Dormammu said: Rainbow teams are overrated.That's not snark, that's simple truth. The further I got in this game, the less I cared about color coverage for either AP use or match damage. It was somewhere in the early days of my 4-star career that I stopped caring about rainbows entirely. Passives and synergy between characters are all that matter to me now. Three characters can have the exact same colors for all I care, as long as they work well together.

But for instance the recent Sinister-six event really had me pinned. Sandman was nearly unbeatable, and the only thing I could do was try to collect as much yellow out from under him as possible. That's when I started looking at yellows, looking for someone that can actually use them. I ended up using star lord, but he wasn't boosted so he went down really quickly. Looking for a good yellow, whether active or passive or whatever was what made me realise, there aren't that many characters with yellow, of any kind. This is why I made the list... and why I'm harping on about yellows specifically. It's not that there aren't any characters at all with yellows or that I don't have a single character with a yellow, it's just that there are less options to choose from. And against some enemies, that can be fatal.

Waddles_Pines said: In a case like S6/Sandman, you also have to look at characters that use his yellow generation against him. Don't know your roster, but XFW Black, Mordo Purple, 3* Thor (if you have a 4* green user), etc. can help. Most of the time Bosses respond to brute force, but the wave nature of S6 makes it a little more puzzly than others. The event was a lot harder when they didn't reset enemies AP after each wave.
I’m still deep in 3* land and mainly only using 4* during PVE essentials.
For me, I have a hard time covering black. But, I discovered that I don’t care because of the synergy between the three characters I am using.
I rely heavily on Dr. Strang3 right now (though, I am slowly being able to move away from him as my 4* tier builds). I found two great teams that will win me a lot of matches and relatively fast and neither of these teams has black. First team: Strang3, Switch, and CMags. Second team: Strang3, GSBW, and IM40.
Side note: I really like Cmags yellow because of its powerful protect tiles. IM40 yellow is really cheap and feeds Strang3 and GSBW wonderfully.
BTW, I like your chart. It's informative.
