    I'd like to see him trigger damage every time an active or passive activates.

    I'm guessing you have a 550 Dr. Strange...I imagine that would add up to a LOT of free damage...

    Strange vs Strange should then technically melt each other until 1 of them is downed and the other is mortally wounded.

    KGB

    And it would be hilarious! Also, this is absolutely the kind of thing the new guys would do.

    Isn't something like this what was happening in a Strange + Bishop mirror fights, once upon a time?

    A 5* would match some gems, Bishop would jump and then passives would be firing off each other for a while and the turn would finally be over with one or more chars dead already?

    My memory of it might be a little skewed from all the trauma of fighting through pvp at the time... :)

    I think Bishop vs Bishop mirror matches did that, when the levels of both Bishops were certain numbers.

    Bishop v Bishop was hilarious wild west shootout.

    Storm bombing? Couldn't you get Patch's strikes out, and then 2*Storms just hit each other until one was downed?

    Coming back to this after a week of using boosted Ultron.

    He's ultra bad. His red nuke does 20k when boosted for 7 red. Col5 does 18k at 450 unboosted for 6 black. The cannot be reduced affix is completely overvalued which I have mentioned before. Kitty is a better special tile booster. Basically, everything Ultron does everyone else does better.
    Abigail is terrible too. Rescue is just not usable in the current game.

    Ultron, Abby, and Pepper need massive support and they are the bottom rung.

    I remember Rescue being at least mid-tier a while ago. What happened? Did she get that left behind by power creep or are new characters better at doing the same things she used to be good at?

    She got left behind with power creep.
    Since, Crystal came along there are better healing options. Stealing special tiles isn't that great in the 5* tier.
    Her red needs some work.
    Really, her powerset doesn't fit in the current game.

    Her red was pre-tuned to work with Okoye before SWitch hit the scene, having a multi-small-hit power, but Apocalypse stole her lunch pretty much immediately by combining that combo into a single character.

    Ultrons Hive mind duplicates specials. Pair him with eg. Electro and Kitty. Thats about it.

    Or brb
    No health packs needed then

    I dunno guys. I just ravaged s4 all week with 550 Ultron.
    Ultron week is seriously my favorite boosted week. So much fun

    It’s even better when he is boosted with kingpin. Because both of them are villains, kingpin create two strike tiles

    I went iceman and had loads of fun. Ultron red plus Iceman green is crazy fun damage.

    If you have to build a very specific pick-3 team for a character to be good then the character is definitely low tier. Most of y’all are arguing for the sake of arguing.

    I never argue about that he is high tier. But merely that he is not the worst 5*. There are 5* that is more useless.

    Ya I always use him heavily during boost week. Regardless of partner. That's not arguing just for arguing. It's having an opinion that doesn't support your own.

    Also... pvp isn't pick-3

    Also... okoye is considered top tier but I don't see anyone using her in a pick-1 match. Who she pairs with is what makes her special.

    I’m sure any non-boosted 4* can ravage the shard-4 cup cake meta just as well

    I invite you to try rather than just running your mouth
