Anti-venom and Misty will be in tokens by then. I wouldn't bother targeting either IMO as you'll get plenty of covers from PVE (and apparently Anti-Venom in PVP rewards), but to each their own.

bluewolf said: A Wong Support (Rank 2 or higher) is a much better option for dealing with those annoying tiles. If you have Thorkoye you obviously can use her red and target the row where that pesky tile is, if it isn't auto-destroyed from firing powers with Wong.I mean OMD is kind of interesting but less efficient I suppose you could combine him with a Wong Support.....I appreciate their attempt to make a new set of abilities but I don't see how OMD is any better than the tools I already have. If you have put together a team of OMD and Carnage....more power to you, but everything I see is a non-meta team or BRBitty and Hulkoye. And I'd rather be running Prof/Onslaught as a fun non-meta PVP team. Using Carnage isn't fun, ever, for me and I have only used him as a way to put out an annoying team that some might skip.

A Wong support is good but only works a percentage of a time when a friendly power is fired. This is best used with a Hawkey type character who will fire lots of powers so even CD tiles are removed. With OMD you can remove 4 speed tiles and get 8 strike tiles. If you add in Okoye buff it should also do decent damage. The issue with Wong is you might still be removing CD instead of that attack tile doing massive damage or Protect tile eliminating match damage. I am also not saying he is great and meta. I am saying he can be useful and help make a good team especially against certain special tile PVE teams. He becomes much more useful.i also tried a Carnage, Thor team in PVP against a BRB/ Kitty team. I crashed hard as OMD abilities at 1,1,1 are not good but the concept is sound. I was getting enough special tiles out to keep Kitty’s tile removal from hurting me but I could not do enough damage with OMD red. Overall is was good synergy just not good at 1,1,1 OMD

Overall is was good synergy just not good at 1,1,1 OMD Won't Daken's red proc BRB's passive, since it is currently destroying tiles? That seems like a very high risk strategy. you have to spam red to stay safe from Kitty's purple, but doing so feed's BRB, so you will eat a whole lot of his green/blue. Other than the healthpack-demoilishing stunner bros, it's not like there are great options for fighting BRBitty in pick2 (they are meta for a reason), but this doesn't sound like a particularly good option.
bluewolf said: ... On a different topic, I am kind of unclear how this version of Daken gets to interact with our other heroes? There is always, I suppose, an issue when you have so many versions of characters representing in some cases different universes or what have you, but in general you can argue that all of their adventures generally take place in the modern day. So you can imagine some dimension hopping going on.Or? I know the super soldier serum slows aging....Is Peggy supposed to be like 80 years old, or more like 95 years old, in the game? If not (and she ages normally), then the Peggy in game would be adventuring in the decade or so after WWII. In that case, I guess it makes as much sense to have her teaming up with our other characters as a version of Daken that seemingly only existed in feudal Japan doing the same thing.
bluewolf said: I am all for interesting characters. Maybe there'll be some use for him I haven't seen yet but I have enjoyed some other recent characters more (even if they weren't the fastest).Yelana SinisterOnslaughtApocalypse and Hulk are obviously very strong and useful characters.I feel right now like OMD falls more on the Havok of the 2020 character scale; someone that isn't bad exactly, but I'm not sure why I'd pick him over other options. Killmonger also kind of feels that way to me, but I haven't really started using him yet.I did just start OMD's PVP so it's possible my opinion will evolve even before I start covering him.-----On a different topic, I am kind of unclear how this version of Daken gets to interact with our other heroes?

Bad said: Since when an easy thing like warping ages mattered on mcu? Look at the new store coming : time warp (on placement HOD rewards).And who could be the 2 5*? I would bet for captain Marvel.
TPF Alexis said: My experience in his PvP basically boiled down to "he doesn't play well with Apocalypse". 5* Carnage does have some potential, tho. I played against a team with them, and I could def see it doing some work with a fully covered OMD. And yeah, as it works right now, he's absolutely terrible against BRB.
HoundofShadow said: Could the level of enemies be increased for each repeated win? I wanted to try Domino with OMD in the last node but they were down easily because they were at capped at level 220.

I think the opposite, he plays well but in a slow way, because apocalypse is slow. For being fast, gritty team where he can be a great reinforcement providing strike tiles or red AP when things could look not good. And his repeaters delivering punishment really soon.
TPF Alexis said: It was mostly because he kept draining my black AP. A bunch of those fights would have been over way faster without him along.
