    So his great support passive is really restricted to a special group.
    Still he can do a lot of damage with his focus points ala SC.
    Still he is more flexible than SC as the way to lose the focus points is match damage to another enemy, also he doesn't need to be in front for granting the extra focus damage.
    Fun, supportive, and reliable character.
    Awesome design!

    With the actualization to affiliations deathlock could work great with yellow jacket, big wheel, riri or shuri.

    He looks pretty neat, really looking forward to giving him a spin.

    Shuri/Vulture/Deathlok: generating mad AP, for cheap casts of DEathlok blue, trickle feeding shuri red and making thine enemies casts costly+3 and stealing 2 ap in strongest 2 colors(not two in each but worth mentioning as a positive cuz strongest is overly restrictive and becomes 0pool)!!
    Ymmv but shuri will tank overhim unless I can find right eq, too bad because spam casting his blue would keep him topped.
    I wanna build a SHIELD tech team! Coulson, deathlock and fitz… maybe this character release is the Agents of SHIELD vers? confirms that Disney is bringing back AoS like Netflix- ohh whats that?! They were in charge of it the whole time ? and still didn’t have any crossovers.. ohhhhh
    (Lady Sif says Am I nothing to you!!)

    Looks great, kinda complicated like the trend is but not overly. Impactful passives that encourages creative team building are always meta adjacent. I think fits the Punisher feedertree well and was for me #2 behind Night Nurse on that list of chars they sent us so will def be jumping to front of 4* shard line.

    Super pumped about this one. When I was 10 and getting big into comics Deathlok issue 1 came out (1990) and it was my favorite comic for a long time. Been voting for him in every poll over the years. My dream was a 5*, but I will gladly take a very useful 4*, just excited to have him in the game finally!

    This version of Deathlok is the third incarnation and not the Agents of SHIELD one.

    Congrats to the Deathlok hopefuls. Such an addition gives me hope for my own recurring request to be met eventually.

    And he looks like he'll have a useful place in the 4* tier with possibility of punching up with unique abilities.

    My memory's a bit fuzzy but wasn't he in the last survey where the community got to pick the 4*? The one that Black Knight ended up winning.

    I think he was.
    I don't remember if it was something officially said, or just forumite speculation, that all those characters will eventually come to the game, we were just picking which one would be first.

    I would love an off season bagman/deadpool boosted Oops all Florida event!
    Alliances have been wanting something else to do after clearing boss prog trees: like in Mario when 1-1 is replaced with beetles instead of koopas; unlocks Oops all Florida!!
    Run a very short 3 day concurrent season; Call it Hurricane Season; it is a Heroic limited Oops all Florida! but proceeds goes to relief and spending can increase leaderboard.

    Devs:Thanks for the great game, appreciate keeping things light-hearted while keeping in tune with our experiences; know it’s a lot and your hard work is appreciated by most of us!

    AHHH, THANK YOU! -- from one of the aforementioned Deathlok-hopefuls here who'd oft-mentioned him in many a poll. His art and ability-design looks phenomenal, and I love that it's specifically the 1990s Deathlok, Michael Collins. He looks like he'll provide awesome support to new players, transitioning players, or veteran players like myself. Kudos!!!

    Hm, I just got lots of Dethlok shards from Punisher champ awards, but I can't see him in my roster at all. Am I missing something? Is he not yet released?

    Thanks for all the Deathlok shards! Assume he will be rosterable once his introduction event starts?

    Yes, he has in indeed turned up!

    He's rosterable right now. What are you guys talking about?

    For a few hours the shards from Punisher's Champion Reward update were available, but Deathlok was not showing in the roster to use them. I'm guessing he appeared after the morning data push.

    He was not yet in the mood to demolish.

    It would be cool to get 4* Cyclops champ rewards redirected to his 5* counterpart with Deathlok now feeding Cable.

    I know Echo feeds him, but like the devs, this gives me problems with my OCD.

    Came here to say that Deathlok is easily one of the best batteries in the game, and he's amazing with so many characters. My favorite pairing lately? Deathlok and Shang Chi with anyone that matches Deathlok's affiliation passive. Devastating when the combo and focus points are high.
