    Correct. You can't run a 0/5/5 to just get around her Blue Passive and fire stuff all day.

    Would it be possible un-nerf Gambit back to his 2.0 version (not his 1.0 version, because AP drain is unfun garbage) and put this into his powers to prevent the 5/0/0 ****?

    The AP drain version was the 2.0 one. ;)
    Originally, he was generating 3 + 3 AP with no draining the enemy. Then "nerfed" to 2 + 2 AP with -2 AP inflicted on the enemy AP.

    I feel like the forum members who were questioning my decision to throw away 5* covers that I don't enjoy the other day (Chasm's black, etc) just had a short chuckle at my expense... because I'd have been more than happy to throw away any blue covers and build her to 0/5/5! :)

    Friend, that's how Gambit broke the game so long ago. I'm sure you wouldn't have been the only one!

    Depending on who you talk to, Gambit broke the game for different reasons. Higher-roster levels were livid about the AP drain and how unfun it was. Lower-level was made because the 5/0/0 Gambit + Spider gwen was just stupid and unfun to match up against. That's why he was banished to the nether-realm. Fix his passives to be like Riri's and put back his non-AP drain form, and he'd probably still be middle of the road.

    Oh, I loved that original Gambit when I was new to the game. He was my 2nd 5* character and I played PVE with him teamed with 2* Magneto and 2* Hawkeye. He kept generating purple for Mags to make blue match-5s to trigger Hawkeye's speed shot. For a newbie player working in SCL-2 or 3, that combo was amazing.

    When they nerfed him so that nobody on your team could fire purple, I forget what they offered in exchange but I certainly took it.

    (I much later became aware of the generally understood rule that newbie players shouldn't spend CP on Latest Legends tokens unless they want to mess up their roster chances for Versus, but it was far too late for me then... *shrug )

    Gambit always disabled other red and purple powers, but only once you had red or purple covers for him. Hence the massive number of 0/0/5 gambits running around right after release. You must have pulled only black covers to use him that way.

    I did. He was 0/0/1; I never got another cover until I restarted him more than a year later, IIRC. He's only 2/3/0 today, because he's no darn fun.

    Thank you for the retro rewards!

    Riri will be a beast with Jane despite the red/blue overlap. Basically she will be spamming powers every turn once she casts red. She will pop out a Short-Circuit tile, but Jane will promptly get rid of it allowing Riri to keep spamming.

    Strangely, Riri isn't boosted for me in Strange Sights.

    Why would she be? That's her release event.

    I hope this doesn’t sound like a complaint as I don’t intend it to but……

    Now that FosteRiri looks like a thing, we don’t need anymore charged tile characters. This duo is just crazy. And Riri’s green makes the enemy team hold and eat whatever you’re gonna do for next turn too. Mine is at 2/4/1. Im gonna take a few trips to SS with this duo to see how it goes.

    Don't five-star characters usually get a god boost on initial release?

    She hasn't been "released" yet. It's just because we got retro rewards that is throwing it off.

    I ran FosterRiri (IronThor? MightyHeart? DocRi? RiThor?) in the Eight is Enough PVP. It was insane. Overcharged Repulsor Blast twice, and then DocThor just blowing up the entire board. At one point I had 32 charged tiles on the board

    SS's Black Hole will be destroyed quickly due to the crazy amount of charged tiles on the board.

    In Pick-2 Spam charged tiles and then use Dr Thor's yellow to down the two of them. Emma should be good too because she increases allies power damage by at least 70%, and she can reduce all enemy power by 3 levels.

    Team Cascades like Prof X, SC, Onslaught, Sersi etc will be good.

    Crystal to help create 3 charged tiles for each yellow matched, and some healing in the beginning.

    Black Bolt for faster charged tiles and his 28k or more scream to down enemy team.

    Something more unconventional would be Loki and his purple tiles.
