    also died vs galactus and I honestly couldn't tell you what the difference was between that fight and the one I won after a small number of rounds next time around. I'm sure he does have a play style but in the current game world he doesn't seem like he will trouble the meta

    I died the first time because the board was dry of red and nothing Galactus did until his nuke (which has a cool but rarely seen animation, so I wasn’t mad) triggered anything Odin did, and the second time I had enough red to fire Odin’s thing twice and won with barely an inconvenience.

    I’m trying to champ everyone too, so I’m here for it, but at 1/1/1 it doesn’t seem worth playing him with a fortification strategy. Heimdall/Magik worked better than Heimdall/Shuri. I haven’t tried running any of the other 5* fortifiers yet; goblin, Hawkeye, Cable; unboosted in pick 2 I don’t think it’ll work. I may try Monica Rambeau since she is the only character I can think of who creates a fortified anything at turn start. 
    Ronan has a fortified CD at the start. So does Kate Pryde.

    Playing Odin PVP and his jump to the front thing works very well against Karnak and Chavez. I was trying to attack a Polaris and most times I tried to attack with Crit tiles as either Karnak or Chavez Odin kept jumping in front defend Polaris. I eventually took her out

    Scuttlebutt will cause Odin to jump in front in case anyone was wondering.

    Polaris, Mantis, Odin is surprisingly annoying to target with Karnak and Chavez. Maybe it was because Polaris was able to match Karnak’s protect tile in two of the matches and Odin was able to slow the Chavez train until Polaris found enough blue to stun Karnak.

    It was expected for bodyguard odin to be a great defensive deterrent playing with dangerous 4*s, as I said.

    The loaner Odin has been very useful in mitigating dmg to the boosted 5's in his PvP.

    His blue (Odin Blessing) might be his best power. The board really fills up with those CDs once the parameters are met. And those strikes are big. 

    Knull

    Heimdall

    Odin

    Magik

    just a couple that intrigue me. 


    I want to try out 5* Iceman/Odin/Goblin for all the fortified shenanigans.

    Someone try out Ronan/Goblin as well. I thought of Iceman but one weakness of his is that his cd appears on only blue or yellow tiles. So, you have to rely on his repeaters. Hawkeye might be good too because you gain 3 blue and 2 red aps per cd resolved. His weakness is that he can't fortify repeater tiles.

    Iceman/Goblin
    Iceman/Hawkeye
    Ronan/Goblin

    If only I got all these guys champed...  :D

    I don't have the covers on him but maybe Knull might work against the passive healing especially as he does permanent damage.

    He spams with fortifying all the board trying to kill him. He doesn't needs any help with his fortified mechanic at just 1/1/1.
    I saw someone running vulture, others britty or polaris.
    I ate a double JJ trap thanks to the fortifying too.
    He is funny, he is annoying, he is good.

    He is going to be SOOOO annoying in PVP.  He is kind of AI proof.  The AI can't really do much wrong with him.  His passives do all the work.  In a match 3 PVP, he is almost a "must bring" that can really help any team defensively.  I think in a month, we are going to see a lot of champed Odin in PVP.

    Based on his PVP event he doesn't seem bad as a meat shield. Using just the loaner he ate all the damage, I didn't have to use a single health pack to reach 1200 points. I can imagine how annoying he'll be when boosted, I'm sure he'll cause quite a few players to skip.

    Having to down this guy while your other two teammates are firing of powers with ease before you can sink your teeth I to them. Of course his red damage sucks, but he seems like he'll have his uses and be a lot more fun to use than other lackluster 5s turned out to be.

    I went up against at least one team that wasn't using the loaner, but i didn't check the total build before going in; just saw it had 2 colors and 74k health. I am confident his boost week is going to be unbearable without a stunner on boost as well lol. Well, actually his launch boost window as well for that matter...

    2 colors means the guy actually pulled for him with money. 
    There is no situation so lucky as to pulling 2 times him on the several tokens earned.

    I don't know about that - some people have some Smaug-level hp hoards, I could see a couple 40-packs getting you there.

    I've seen ally mates pull 2 or more covers from the hp store before. Like @ThaRoadWarrior said there are players who hoard Hp like other players hoard cp and spending on a 40 pack in the new character store isn't a big deal for them.

    If I'm not mistaken the odds of 1/166 are roughly 0'4%.
    A 40 pack would multiply that and the odds could be 15%.
    Still only 2 packs would be a really really lucky shot.

    I couldn’t say one way or the other, I just wouldn’t read into it a ton for desirability.
