Note: Eagle eyed viewers will notice something that's *NOT* there this time. We're going to release Mari Hill *without* a S.H.I.E.L.D. Training event running alongside her release. We're re-evaluating the effectiveness of these S.H.I.E.L.D. Training release events as a result of player feedback about many aspects of it (required characters, matchups, etc.) and want to see how the character launch works without this event running. While hot takes about this aren't a bad thing, we'd like feedback on the overall different feel of this 4-Star character release with the changed release cadence once you've had a chance to experience it.

    So what's the purpose of that black power?  It basically kills her? I may be missing something about her but she sure seems very weak, don't really think any of her powers are decent. Maybe her blue is ok if paired with Okoye etc.

    I guess you hope to get rid of the countdown in time but for what you get, doesn't seem that great.  In addition, anyone who fortifies your tiles actually is bad to use with her if that is your goal?

    I do also see where she could be a good pair with Kitty but I guess imo not better than Grocket who most people already have.

    Wish they had done something with her traps that maybe would have really synced with Sinister (I know in comics they have nothing in common etc.) but having her be a really good trap character/booster with the same tanking colors would have made sense.

    Not sure how to build her. Looks good though.


    Does her black create strike tiles on different colors? If so, she would be fun with Kitty and Domino.

    Good, I can care even less about the four stars now. Don’t even need a 209 anymore. Great news!

    so the “changed release cadence” is confirmed as well then? 4/5/4/5/4/5?

    Boring. Another wasted slot.

    Hope the art is as pretty as usually is, at least. 
    Oh well.

    The fact that she's at best a low to mid tier character is probably going to further skew any information they're hoping to gain about player happiness or attempts at cover acquisition.

    One of the few things that helped build excitement over new character releases. Even if it was repetitive, it helped promote the character, gave us a different cycle at least.

    Also, re: Hill, seriously with black power?! Take 10k+ damage for an extra 1k match damage that will be half gone by the time she gets the fallout.

    I mean, it's in character, but maybe a bit too useless?

    Pretty silly to scrap the whole thing when the annoying part was having to have recently released characters so high. Meaning mostly the whales got them.

    Simply required 5 or 6 of a cover Instead of 10 would have made everyone happy.



    As far as she goes she looks ok, could replace rocket with rocket and kitty.


    I'm guessing the cool down and and Invisibility works hand and hand? If you're invisible you won't take the cool down damage right?


    Right.....?
