    Seriously a 3ap power? That along with passive repeaters means they'll be even slower than Mindless Ones.  That and "low damage" isn't necessarily low when you start factoring in all special tiles they generate also, and when scaled they're going to be horrible to play against...

    Can we get a character that can control minions?  Pretty please?
    Paging Dr. 5trange (and Dr. Strang3)... Dr. Strange, please report to the ER.

    don't forget to bring okoye or some other damage booster with that strange!

    A.I.M? Yes with a side order of Thank you!

    For all you using the same ole' same ole': You've been clamoring for new content, well here it is. Quit with the (Insert character here) +Okoye and Gritty this and BRB that. Try out some other characters. Make it a challenge for yourselves. Put the Puzzle back into Puzzle Quest. I took it on with 3* Iron Man, Bucky and an under covered 5* Cap (First Avenger.) 

    It was a long and tough battle as they stumbled  over each other (overlapping powers so not great synergy) to thwart this new menace. It also gave me time to see the powers in action and to see what might possibly happen if they get out of hand. 

    All in All a fun experience. Less so if I would have mowed them down with my Champed 5Thanos 5Strange and 5Okoye. Been there done that.

    Enjoy and have fun with em. I look forward to more goodies.

    Edit: for spelling

    As I wanted to see how these guys worked I went for a 3* team instead of the usual Thorkoye and Prof x 

    I chose Storm, hulk and deadpool 

    Took a long time but I did win , storms power led to a lot of swapping by the minions 

    2nd fight I went with 4* cap marvel Karnak and 5* Thor 

    fun event and these guys are going to take a long time to beat at SCL10

    Yeah, I am lazy and used ThorkoyeX, and it was quick. I'll try some other combos later. Maybe.

    I started in October 2016 a few days before Strang3 release and I don’t know how anyone handled minions before he arrived. I know Muscle wouid have killed me . Strange/ Okoye will always be the go to for any goon squad .

    And friggin caltrops... It's like the superhero equivalent of stepping on Lego...
    Technically the Japanese called them makibishi, since it’s a Hand character the nomenclature is inaccurate.

    Special tiles are a great tool for pushing your way out on pve, even more on scl10 on scalated health pools. A great majority of chars use them and there are some numbers who improve them. Those minions will be a force to take on, surely some minions to a.i.m. the first lol.
    Now what happens to meta star kitty? Happens that without special tiles she worths a s***. Nothing that no player could not know before. And when people desperately clings to the meta sometimes could happen that meta swaps.
    Is she bad because those guys will be apearing on pve events? Of course not. 
    In any case those who will be bad will be complaining players.
    And those who will be better will be the playes who think on counters, chase other strongs chars, and evolve their play while continuing grinding.
    Because personally I already figured out some counters for some types of these minions.

    Going up against AIM waves was such a slow pain with just Killmonger.

    I have to admit I like the new visual effect when their repeater moves around the place and dissolves the tile.
    This time round these guys weren't too bad but I can see them dragging out matches and causing issues moving forward. Will be interesting to see where they pop up - if they end up being inserted instead of H.A.M.M.E.R goons that could make a few of the old events a bit more tricky.

    I took Shuri, Domino and Maria Hill today for both wave nodes and had fun spamming the boards with 45 strike tiles. When AIM Force moved all my strike tiles to the right, it looked like Loki doing a mini Illusions. It took some time.

    I took unchamped 5* to leave them on action. Genetic construct is really funny. Spams diverses special tiles. On his walk along the board it can match tiles. That could be dangerous on a hard match vs a no minion char.
    They have sinergy with theirs repeaters setting them to 0.
    And automaton so funny too.
    In such a short time the board is full of stranges walking android bugs.

    A suggestion I could make would be on the visual aspect. Those walking repeaters are not stricktly repeaters but something new, so it could be depitected as a new icon, maybe an android bug changing colours on each tile walking. Cliking on them it could show some art like it was a support card with its explanation.
    While we are at this, traps right now have a white border. They could have the border colour of the power from where they were created. Symply with that players could know each trap a lot more easily.

    I love them but they were a pain to verse xD. Looking forward to fighting them in SCL10 :/

    Today I took karnak, nico and maria hill and I could fight until the end improving special tiles. 
    I spotted a bug on bioreactive catalyst. While reduces atack and strike tiles, in the case of protect tiles actually improves them.

    I can verify that the bug happened to my protect tile.

    Genetic construct repeater should denote which goon it belongs to.  You cycle through the goons and none of them indicate it's theirs, so you have to guess which goon to take down.
    Constructs are from Splicers . In case of multiple splicers , as previously with any multi goon of same subclass you just have to guess which one it belongs to.
