    Ahhh I missed that Chasm only had two abyss tiles.
    The cutoff looked like he revived.

    So is it his green working? Not a minor achievement.

    Indeed. That cutoff is a tribute to his revive. I imagine some players would use his team up instead. Wanda/Colossus + Green Shark teamup, or Wanda/Kang.

    And I'm surprised bad has nothing bad to say about this counter. :D

    I didn't say nothing because I think it's not needed to repeat always the same.
    2 health packs for next round and try to play competitive pvp with the shark.

    Green is true heal. If your issue is healthpacks, then the problem is Hulk, not Chasm.
    I don't see Shark as a true counter to Chasm, but more like a variable option with Kang.

    So, you've switched to healthpack and "competitive pvp" now.

    No, it was always about competitive pvp, but actually you don't process what you read.
    Kang and the shark. Try to not be eaten alive through hits :D .

    I mean, usually you use the counters to break through a wall and then switch in your normal team.
    If you time that right, you won't get massacred.
    Of course you can't climb during zombie time with any of those counters.
    If you still insist on doing that, you may need to change up how you play PVP.

    Is this their April's fool joke? I think adding 2 whole characters is a little too much commitment for an April's Fool joke.

    Why? It's the regular 3/5 release.

    I have no problem with joke characters. I just hadn't heard of this particular character before.

    Me neither.

    It does beg the question: Could/should this have been a 4* release? Maybe. Obviously the Devs love the character, joke or not.

    We have an interesting period coming up with GotG3. Will we get a 5* Racoon? Will we get a dog with a space hat on? Maybe a superhero otter? Or will we get the (at least comic book version) very very boring High Evolutionary. I know which ones I have my fingers crossed for. B)

    I think the only real argument against is that there are "better" characters not in game yet, but of course that's entirely subjective. Do I still really want a 3/5 NW Nova/Nova Prime? Of course I do! But I'm not going to get mad that my personal want list isn't being fulfilled every dang time. Also fwiw, I think codifying April as the "silly character" month is a fun move.

    To me, the best thing about him being a 5* is he is the latest in a string of "get them to 450 and stop" allowing me to save CP/LL for bigger and better characters.

    I actually think a so called joke character was a little due I. The 5 tier, but I'd of liked him to have a bit more damage output. His green is certainly a nice tool to have on any roster. I'd also like to see a 5* Rocket, maybe he could be stand alone or work like Cloak and Dagger. One of the abilities swaps him out for Groot.

    So if it is OK for them all to be ridiculous then what is wrong with a superhero shark? If we got Lockheed then no doubt that would be OK because pet dragons are not at all silly because blah blah X-men.

    I'm fine with the rest of them, but do not go disparaging Lockheed or the X-Men!

    Besides, who do you think Jeff calls when he needs help?
