    I really like these blogs and agree with the main points

    - Havok is a pretty straightforward character that does big damage to cut down enemy defenses.  Not a whole lot of finesse here.  Which is fine.  We need that variety in the game. Though simple, he’s really good!

    - Re: Pairing him with strong defenders- I like the idea of him being high-octane offense but weaker on defense as sort of the tradeoff. But let’s be honest, his “low health” is actually the 7th-8th highest in the game by my quick count. Higher than Phoenix, Banner, Surfer, Jessica, Thor, Iron Man, etc. We desperately need a health/match damage rebalance. I really hope this is something you all are looking into!

    Ah, so green DOES 1-shot fortified tiles. That does change things against a BRB somewhat

    How so? BRB doesn't have fortified protects.

    I think he means the blue countdown tile.

    Correct. 1-shotting the CD can stop the train.

    I thought Havok only hit strikes/attacks/protects, not countdowns.

    Havok shards are the placement reward for Infinite Pursuit. So is Havok going to be the next event's 5E even though he's not yet in Latest?

    Should have consulted the magic conch shell. It's never wrong.

    My guess is it will be a pvp where you will have a havok 1/1/1. Like any 4* pvp. And I will love it. If you ask my humble opinion.
    Except when I will face champed havoks. Inevitably.

    He is talking about Story mode. No loaners there for 5E.

    There is a 5* pvp, as stated by ice

    But that wasn't what the poster was asking - he knew there would be a loaner for PvP. Anyway Sinister turned out to be the PvE required so it is all moot.
