Back to doing Spoiler Free teasers! Enjoy and we'll talk more about this upcoming villain next week!

Sekilicious

Looks kind of fun. Kind of a mix between 5witch and Monica, though I’m not really a fan of the reverse Monica repeaters. Hopefully they don’t act one at a time.

JHawkInc

I think I know who it is, but I'm not sure if it's wishful thinking (this is a character I've been requesting for some six years of playing this game!), or if I'm actually guessing it right.

What I think gives it away, villain with a team affiliation, the focus on red/blue (I think this is meant as a mild counter towards the hero this villain normally fights, kinda like the way Hela punishes teams for gathering green, and Thor naturally farms green for himself), and then the black power, that's a specific type of healing, and I think I can see how it thematically represents this character (because this character has been one of my favorites since I was a little kid, I think is the only reason I jumped to make the connection, which doubles back to making me unsure if this is wishful thinking, or me interpreting the clues correctly because I like the character). Oh, and the normal clue we are given fits a typical plot with this villain.

Ooo boy this will be a fun time waiting for the reveal.

KGB

Just what we need, another character creating repeaters that slowly swap up the board. Monica is already slow with just 1 repeater swapping down. Imagine this character creating 3-4 of them that each take as long as 1 of hers to swap. Phones will be going to sleep.

Swapping speed needs to be addressed and they all need to swap at once.

KGB

revskip

A black stun is kind of cool especially tied with what I hope is true healing.  Could be neat.  Agree with KGB about the repeaters though, if it is as slow as Monica's I am going to have a hard time using this character outside of when it is required.

Well, at least it isn't a passive power like Monica's which was trying to put my Thor over 50% all the time in pve. I'd rather see a power that you can choose to give one of your chosen teammates a burst of health or choose an enemy character to give damage to.

Venomous

I'll say, disappointed a bit because I hoped we would get Stryfe so we had a new feeder....

But this is for certain Lizard. The heal gives it away and the first ability is literally along the lines of trying to keep himself in check as he fights himself. Similar to how 3 star Hulk plays. Love Lizard so still super excited for him.  

zonatahunt

Member of the Sinister six that deals with genetics, that’s how I read the clue.  There’s not many SS missing at this point, so I’m really hoping it is who I think it is.  But yeah, countdowns moving up a board that naturally falls down...set that power to 3

HoundofShadow

That purple power got to be frustrating to play against. Can you imagine doing a last minute burst in PvP and his repeaters slow down your attack power?    Each repeater takes about 1.5 to 2 seconds to resolve. 

Overall, I like his abilities. 5/5/3 for offensive style or 3/5/5 for defensive style. 

Bad

Has sinister pawns helping him with his clones? That purple seems a clone like sinister. I dont see those repeaters slowing the game because they dont move.
He has cheap powers, possible AoE, stun and damage reduction. Seems like a must.

HoundofShadow

They move up each turn. If there are 4, it's an extra 6 to 8 seconds per turn.

bobbyfm

So you are working on a new character instead of working on fixing the bug which some of us Android players experience and we can't play at all because of it?

Sekilicious

Looking at this thread, and Reddit; Carbage, Monica, and Lizard are going to be the meta defensive team going forward. You might get more skips than Bishop and Worthy combined.

Cannibalqueen

If they are ever gonna use AIM or Sentinels in a PVE,
god help us.

So, with that I'll guess Jackal, creator of the whole clone wars saga...

DyingLegend

Any character that utilizes the repeater tile swap mechanic is an instant pass from me.

It slows down the game too much.

Bad

The animation of those moving special tiles should be activated to on/off in the tile physics menu. That way they could develop a moving tiles meta without messing game speed.

Blackstone

So...5/5/0 for offence, 3/5/5 for defense.... Because no one will want to sit through multiple repeaters moving up the board every turn and he'll be skipped immediately.

Theghouse

Just what we were missing, a stun power that nerfs itself into not being able to fire it.

Easter egg: when Monica's repeater tile moving down hits this guy's repeater tile moving up, it activates speed hack for 24 hours! 😂

Anon

I'm seeing a lot of "low damage" in the descriptions and it's making me weary.

I hope it's another Dark Beast where the damage isn't important to the overall effect of the character.
