IMO 3/5/5 or 4/4/5 is the best build... personally I guess I might take the 4th blue just so I can get a 2 turn stun on 2nd use of his blue but that's at the expense of 400 healing.... Trouble with 5 blue is you'll get zero benefit unless you've reached 15 blue AP in the game AND kept your first 2 web tiles alive AND you'll only keep getting the benefit if you don't heal those 3 web tiles you'll have just reached away (heal nails 3 webs now if you have them or none if <2). His blue, for me, is more of an "if I don't have another blue why not use it" kind of ability.

Phantron wrote: I've been playing with Falcon a lot recently and I think Spiderman protect's tile is actually quite well designed if you're only limited to PvE. I use Bird Strike fairly often in PvE and Spider Sense is probably better than Bird Strike (easier to setup, though easier to get rid of too). The problem is that defensive mechanism doesn't work against the hyper offensive teams you go up against in PvP. At the 141X3 level, if the enemy team doesn't have a move that can wipe out a guy and possibly your team for 12 AP there's something wrong with their team construction. AP acceleration abilities (Magnetic Field, Dormammu's Aid) amplifies this but even if Thor is by himself, it's not really that inconceiveable for him to pick up 12Y which will usually take out a guy from the ensuing cascade. Right now offense is easily outstripping defense, and that really should be the other way around from a balance point of view because defense can't win you the game by itself and winning slowly is basically the same thing as losing in PvP (other people can attack you during this time), so it should be very easy to setup a solid defense.

It would be great if IceIX or anybody could confirm if now he has finished his adjustment period after the nerf. PS: I still have hope that blue is going to be adjusted a little (at least the quantity of web tiles created).

I still use him while climbing PvP because he prevents damage like a pro, even better than he had before the nerf. I use GSBW and go straight for purple matches. starting the first few turns with shields up is great. with a fast finisher like GSBW, I rarely take more than 200 damage per fight. When I switch out to other characters on my roster, they need perpetual healing. Even characters like Hulk, Thor, and Sentry take a beating even in the course of a swift victory. Sure, his stun was overpowering, and I used the heck out of it. But really I only needed it to lock out OBW from stealing my purple. For my play style, Spidey was only necessary to combat an overpowered two-star, OBW. Now, less people use low level Spidey and most use OBW to heal mid-match in PvP. In the Thick as Thieves PvE, OBW was buffed. My level 40 OBW was suddenly an 85 and you know what? I won my bracket. So, original poster, the message I have for you is this: use spidey if you have him, he is great as is. Use your OBW while you can, because she should be next for adjustment.
