That is unfortunate. Could you describe more about why his blue can be near useless at times? I was hoping that if you time it right, you will get an immediate enemy stun on that turn, then more potentially as you try to get other green matches (including the charged tiles). Also, if you need to match yellow, his CD should often get fortified.Thanos said:My Cable is 4/1/1 and I'm finding his blue is kinda disappointing to down right useless at times. I'm not as big on Cable as I was when I first saw his preview. I'd put hm at upper mid-tier, he's not going to unseat Thor unfortunately.
His blue becomes useless when the green tiles are sparse. I had several games when there was no point in evenRickOShay said:That is unfortunate.

And about Thor, I think it will be a long time before he is unseated by anyone, so that's probably not a fair hope (not that is what you were expecting, just needs to be stated for others reading this).
@Thanos
Got some great matches and stuns from Cable's blue in action with TA Hulk's CD in the Domino PvP.Jaedenkaal said:Blue seems like it could be fun when combined with tile-swapping powers (Coulson probably the best here) or green tile generators, so as to obtain green matches without giving up the turn.
Cable’s Blue is heavily dependent on the board in order to trigger that Stun. Compare that to other stuns like Archangel, Strange, DD etc: the instant you fire that power, you know the opponent is getting stunned, regardless of the board. Plus, halfThor removes Green tiles, thereby lowering your chances of activating Cable’s stun. I’d rather go with BSSM’s stun - which costs 6AP - than Cable’s, which costs 9AP AND a Green match. Cable is just a tad too unreliable for me (in terms of stunning).RickOShay said:With just a 3-turn CD you are missing out on a 2nd opportunity for a stun, which I get very often with the 5-turn CD at cover level 5. Even at 4/5/4 a 2nd stun opportunity happens quite often, but at 3/5/5 I've almost never been able to do it. Sure I'd like the level 5 strike tiles, but getting another stun on half dead Thor is very handy, for example.
You'd definitely want to kill him before that stun wears off or he'll just nuke all your green Charged tiles and take all the AP for himself, though.RickOShay said:With just a 3-turn CD you are missing out on a 2nd opportunity for a stun, which I get very often with the 5-turn CD at cover level 5.

I've run that exact team in Sim last season and it is very fun. I agree that timing is very important on SL's yellow, but throughout the match I was able to often fire off 3 green powers, Cable, SL, Cable. Got 3 stuns often, but stunned someone who was already stunned too, ha.HoundofShadow said:I thought Starlord would pair up nicely with Cable.
Sequence of powers:
1. Cable's blue
2. Starlord's yellow to convert 5 basic tiles in enemy's strongest colour to green charged tiles. If you time it right, you will stun whomever you want to be stunned, unless their strongest colour is green.
3. Starlord's green. It doesn't destroy friendly created charged tiles, so all your green charged tiles will fall to the bottom or even cascades off each other. That could create another free stun and 5 charged green tiles.
4. Cable's green to down non-stunned character, or maybe Starlord's green.
Gambit can be used to round things off as a rainbow team. Use his red to destroy both green charged tiles for an extra 4 green aps if necessary.
