    For sure this is one of the strongest LL groupings we've seen in a long time.

    Oh, nothing at all.

    550 Chasm/Jane teams are my favorite! Chasm/5*PP/Miles $?&@ hard all over that team. They work against most any team, but Jane actively helps to get the party started by blowing up Abyss tiles. Once web tiles are on the board, Miles’ passive bypasses Chasm’s AP drain and it’s stun city and critical tile bombs from there. All powers are cheap, enemy AP is normally low on account of them being stunned the majority of the match, so those critical tiles really snap with Chasm’s match damage. My PP isn’t champed, so Chasm tanks in all colors and Miles/PP usually come out unscathed barring an enemy cascade when Chasm revives.

    On offense, the team is only vulnerable (so far) to Apoc/Colossus w/ a team-up stun and effing iHulk. 

    So, is the strategy for iHulk/Chasm face-offs to just beat him up until he self owns Chasm/iShulk? Electro/Sighclops/Colossus it is then!

    Unnerfing Bishop would do it. 

    You need a 5* health pool with a multi stun to do it I think. Spider-Man Peter Parker should be a good counter with all those web tiles, but isn’t unfortunately.

    I noticed that the Chasm tiles don’t count as enemy specials for the purposes of Onslaught’s blue attack.  Are they unowned in the same way as webs, where a friendly Chasm benefits from the total pool?
    Unnerfing Bishop is a horrible idea.  Bishop was obscenely broken and he'd be far worse now.  There's already stun options that aren't actively making the game unfun again - Iceman, Mantis, I suppose Ghostpool, Polaris.

    Does anyone know if Mantis' triggers on abyss tiles?  I got the feeling that abyss tiles were neutral in ownership.

    There’s so many blue users I want to power up now though…

    Are Abyss tiles working against iHulk's threshold for Basic greens?

    They should be, but I haven’t tested it yet. My chasm doesn’t tank him for long

    Yes. The AOE stops firing.

    Yes, even web tiles do.

    Alternatively, flood the board with special tiles and they would not be useful. If not, get someone who can do tiles destruction and chain into winfinite.

     Carbage/BRB was an early iHulk counter I was using to flood the board. Also worked against Thor. It won’t help against Jane though.

    Some replies here are taking the puzzle ops approach, one and done.

    How about in terms of daily play ? Pick-2 in PVP ?

    If they aren't boosted, Pick-2 is easy to beat with other 5's. What problems are you having?

    As I mentioned, if you have terms and conditions imposed on those counters, then your choices would be limited. If you are healthpack conscious, use those who can true heal or revive. If you are afraid of retal hit, use a bigger  team. If you have all the above or more t&c, then use the skip button.

    Electro works to keep ihulks AOE at bay, Jane can (doesn't prioritize) destroy chasm tiles, then either Colossus to mitigate match damage or onslaught to destroy all the tu tiles. Full disclosure my onslaught is 502, Colossus is 515 electro 491 and Jane 477, but I hit someone a 550 ihulk, 542 chasm and a 529 Jane.

    The only term and condition I have is “works,” and it has been my experience the ones proposed were unreliable at best.

    I’m not trying to Puzzle Ops this ish, I swear, but, personally, I’ve found that swapping in Sersi for Electro to block green at the start with Jane/Colossus is a more effective AOE damage-reducer. 

    I also play tested iShulk (10 covers)/Electro/Jane and it’s worked against a couple of low-level Chasm/iHulk teams in Simulator, so I’m thinking it should work consistently once iShulk is fully-covered.
