I am a bit confused how they would be good with Polaris though. Polaris does make a whole ton of special tiles yes, but aren’t they all absurdly weak? Like, aren’t they supposed to be strength 50 for each she makes or something? That black passive won’t be very effective if the strength of the special tiles is so low.

It will be a damage with a passive. Plus polaris could already have many strikes tiles for to increase that damage. 
Also a good level polaris can create 200 strenght tiles.

Boy, I am amazed at the number of people guessing it’s Marauder Kitty Pryde based on *checks notes* no evidence whatsoever. I wonder what led them to this conclusion?

The clue was what "I'm a pirate"

The character has heroes, X and X team affiliations. Mutant and X-Men would fit there if it were Kitty.

The Yellow power creates protects and improves special tiles just like 5* Kitty.

The Black passive power is a repeater that deals damage related to special tiles when it goes off doesn't sound too different than Circuit Breaker with 5* Kitty.

The colors for the character are yellow, red and black.

I doubt it's Kitty Pryde. Usually, a character maintains the same colors at different levels. Kitty is yellow/purple/red while this one is yellow/red/black. Of course, it could still be Kitty, but I doubt it.

Actually, it’s more often that one color is changed for another color in different levels.

The clue is “You are a Pirate”. Could be anything? A line written in a comic, one of the numerous pirates. Or data mined and shared on discord or line.  I wouldn’t know, I’m not on those platforms. But it seems like sometimes these ‘guesses’ are pretty specific.

There are definitely times people "guess" clues without evidence but this one seems pretty obvious to anyone who *checks notes* plays this game or reads the comics or has a basic grasp of logic.

What if it's Pyro? He's a marauder, X-men. Got a pirate tattoo too.
(His colours are red, black and yellow!!)

Ironfist. Nope

Luke cake? Can't remember.

Magneto? Changes.

C5rol? Changes a bit. Red and black being most common.


Whoever this mysterious Pirate is, they will be fun with C4rnage. He destroys a lot of tiles with his green. Maybe 4nos will also work with them for the same reason. Only downside is 4nos isn't a "destroy" or "Match" person.

Or just look at all of our various Black Widows. Together they literally cover all six colors.

Not Just a Phase –  PASSIVE
(PASSIVE) Kate Pryde grabs hold of all that is dear and phases it through danger, then fights back with a vengeance. At the start of the turn, if one doesn’t exist, create a 2-turn Fortified Green Repeater tile that collects the strength of all matched or destroyed Strike, Protect, or Attack tiles. When this tile expires, deal 150% of the collected strength as damage to the target, then reset (max 428 damage). (Max level increase max damage to 833)

• Level 2: Deals 250% of collected strength as damage (to a max of 599). (Max level increase max damage to 1166)
• Level 3: Deals 350% of collected strength as damage (to a max of 770). (Max level increase max damage to 1499)
• Level 4: Deals 550% of collected strength as damage (to a max of 1113). (Max level increase max damage to 2166)
• Level 5: Deals 850% of collected strength as damage (to a max of 1798). (Max level increase max damage to 3499)

Cut from the Facebook page.

The Black looks much better than initially thought given it's 850% so a 100 strength tile would be 850 value. Should be easy to reach the 3499 value against special tile users.

What I want to know is does her passive work on her active Yellow so if she has 2 other Mutants, is her strength 45 (max level) actually 100+ (+48%*3) and does it work for Grockets initially places tiles etc.

The Red better be 453 damage per countdown on the board or else it's awful weak.

Thinking 5/3/5 as long as you face a special tile user.

Must be a carry over from pride month

Venomous

Well, that was super underwhelming honestly. Super weird pick but hey, always eager to learn about new characters. 

Omegased

I wonder considering her name is different, will the game let her play with kitty?

Seph1roth5

Seems fairly badass.  Was hoping for corsair though =(!

MrEd95

Is she going to bring her brick wall along with her, or are we getting all new character art?

Tiger_Wong

Wow. I’m “amazed” that so many people “guessed this” correctly, based on “*checks notes* no evidence whatsoever. I wonder what led them to this conclusion?”

/sarcasm

Borstock

It's interesting how her powers create tiles on colors other than the one assigned; black to green, red to purple, and yellow to blue.

That said, she looks like a decent 4* who doesn't punch up. That should keep everyone happy.
