Polares said: I must say this is probably the best 5 character blog I have ever read BUT one thing that still annoys me is that when we get to the "works well with" they keep trying to pair him with 4s and even 3s !!!! 5 players don't use 4s except with broken combos (like Bishop or Worthy), and they never use 3s AT ALL. So reading that he doesn't have any teammate in 5 land is a bit sad (basically just JJ).As said somewhere lease, I am really, really annoyed that it is not possible to get ProfX and him in the same batch, I know he is not amazing, but I love the character and I wanted to get him and Xavier It is very unfortunate that Devs don't help players a bit getting the characters that they love.

Not entirely accurate. Some 3*s offer useful abilities even for 5* teams. For example, Mystique's Shapeshift proved indispensable for me in the last PvP. I also imagine 3* Iron Fist's Exquisite Technique is also quite useful for Gritty Teams. And with the addition of Beta Ray Bill, Magneto's Coercive Field and Sam Wilson's Bird Strike will prove to be helpful especially with Kitty as a third. If anything, it would make sense for the dev team to try to establish such links between tiers since 3* still feature prominently in the standard PvP format. It helps encourage players to try to use different characters in their 5* roster and makes the meta more nuanced. I will never forget when a 3* Magento fueled by 4* Worthy/5* Hawkeye proceeded to wreck my Surfer/Thor team. It's actually refreshing to see 3* playing a significant role in the match.It will be interesting to see how well 3* Doom and Sinister player together. Anyway, the art team has really outdone themselves with Sinister. They did a fantastic job! I also very much appreciate the underlying design concept. I think they have captured the character well. Thanks for the blog!

Thanks for the blog! I don’t disagree that some 3* have synergy with 5* and those synergies can work well. You have Professor X buffed with any X-men character in their PVP, as you mentioned IF with Gritty. What I disagree with is promoting it in the Blog. 5* character blogs should find more synergy within their specific tier or one tier below. The reason why is most players looking to cover a new 5* are looking for synergy within the 5* tier not a synergy with a 3* or 4* tier. You personally might want to see this but I have seen a large portion of the community looking for the 5* synergy.

Jess and Sinister don't really work together. She spams enemy traps, Sinister works off friendly ones. He's great against her though.
