Domino (X-Force) (10/29/18)

Brigby

Hi Everyone,

"Everything usually works out for Domino. This mutant mercenary subconsciously alters probabilities in the world around her, so luck is literally always in her favors.

Luck aside, Domino is also a world-class marksman and hand-to-hand combatant. She feels right at home on the elite X-Force strike team, lending her skills to the continued defense of mutantkind."

Check out the brand new 4-Star Domino, and find out how you can recruit her onto your roster!

4-Star Rarity (Legendary)
Heroes, X-Men
    

(Abilities listed at level 270, Power Level 5)
Enter the Fray - 7  AP
Domino throws herself recklessly into battle, drawing enemy gunfire that will inevitably hit the wrong target and leave her unharmed. Destroys 15 random non-Black basic tiles. (Does not generate AP.)

Knock Them Down - 9  AP
When luck creates an opening, Domino uses her skills to reap the rewards. Destroys half of the Black tiles on the board, dealing 1474 damage for each tile destroyed. Does not generate AP.

Not Just Luck -  Passive
Everything's coming up Domino. While Domino's in the fight, every new tile dropped from the top of the board during your turn has a 100% higher chance of being a Black tile.

Full character details coming soon!

Recruit Domino!

I love the sound of this character! She would be an amazing third on my Nightcrawler/Professor X/_______ team I think. Also I love the comics design as well

So with her black if you get a horizontal match 4 or greater you auto win the game since all the top row will continue to be black tiles making continuous black match 5s and crit tiles?

It's not a 100% chance to drop a black tile, but a 100% increased chance of being black. At five covers it would be ~ 1/3. I can't remember what the chances of a team up tile is but it was less than any of the other six colours.

The character I've been asking for for four years!

And she's a 4*, which I barely even look at anymore.

Looks like fun!  Her power set looks like a blast.

So we need Emma Frost to get the shield training cover again?

• 2x Random 4-Stars from the Call for Backup missions (Option of following characters)
• Peggy Carter (Captain America)
• Wasp (Janet Van Dyne)
• Emma Frost (Astonishing X-Men)

Unhappy. That is frustrating. Why? Since all three are the same as taskmaster, can we get a reroll please? @Brigby

No. “”100% greater chance” doesn’t mean “100%”. It’s just double the usual chance it will be a black tile. In other words, normal chance for a tile to be a particular color is 1 in 7 roughly. With Domino at 5 in black, it’s a 2 in 7 chance. Or the 14% chance becomes 28%. Other colors become about 12%.

Domino looks neat. Basically an entire kit built on manipulating black, you can either purge it from the board, or purge everything else. She'd be a good sidekick for someone that uses it (shame that doesn't apply to Deadpool or Cable, but as a member of X-Force she could work with X-Force Wolverine, add more board clearing to the fight). Curious to see how much more black drops during Domino v Domino fights.

Meet Rocket & Groot release with a Simulator featured event, pretty standard.

Peggy/Wasp/Emma for Shield Training, also pretty standard, they actually went back to the old pattern for featuring older characters in Shield Training (Peggy/Wasp), but it's disappointing Emma is featured. I know pushing new characters is a money-making strategy, but featuring Emma is going to hurt people who haven't covered her so far, which will cost them a Domino cover, which will hurt them when you guys inevitably require Domino for a near-future Shield Training. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of disappointment, as stumbling to keep up with the new character continues to punish the player down the line. I don't really have a solution, unfortunately. Just a general commentary that when choosing a "newer 4*" to feature in Shield Training, Emma feels too recent.

That's why they have been putting Emma Frost so much in the PVE events. Glad they did because now I have her at 12 covers.

Ah! Apologies for the confusion. Seems there was a bit of accidental copy-paste action during compilation of the info. I've gone ahead and corrected it to the right characters.

New character release and DST ends,  what could possibly go wrong ?

@Brigby Isn't it time to switch from EDT to EST soon?

Simple powers, but interesting. Now the question is how can you abuse them? First thought is flooding the board with black using Domino and 3*Fist, along with Mordo to help and hit. Second thought is to use IM40 to fuel her green twice and Mordo blue once to produce black for Mordo to hit, then end with Domino red. Third thought is to use XFW (if their strongest color is not black) to fire surgical strike over and over, which would be a lot of fun. So, Domino + XFW + 3Mags/Quake/3Fist/Kamala.

I am thinking Domino, Vulture and Cloak and Dagger could be loads of fun together. Rainbow team too.

Wouldn't Domino's increased Black tile drops stop C&D from adding more black?  You can try to match them all away, but Black will be dropping twice as much as everything else, so I think C&D will simply start adding attack tiles.

EDIT: How about Domino with Vulture and XFW?  Vulture feeds himself Blue, gives Green to Domino, Domino destroys to produce Black, which feeds XFW and Vulture.  The small amount of Red that Vulture produces can also go to Domino.

Guess I'm switching my BH to Dazzler and praying...

When does Cable come into Latest?  I think it's tomorrow right?

Next
 Monday. After the release.

but before end of Shield Training - so if you're waiting for Cable (or more importantly for Wasp to leave...) you can wait and then pull to hopefully also get your Dazzlers for ST

That is my plan. Plus progression from Shield Simulator and from Meet R&G, that should do it.

Is
 that a bad thing? Besides, when you use Domino's red it doesn't hurt to have another way to add more black to the board.

Is it actually possible for a normal human neck to bend that way?
