    Yeah, let's see how all the "Chasm isn't even a problem anymore!!!" takes age after 3 events of boosted Abigail and Sersi.

    I have taken H Ev, Abigail Brand into the Magneto PvP and am disappointed that I can't get Magneto above 98k health.

    Daredevil’s kit is still great. Given all the other characters that need work and the glacial pace of rebalances, I could see him not getting a buff until his Disney+ show hits in (probably now) 2025, but he really just needs a quick numbers adjustment. In an ideal world, the cost of his green would come down to 9 or less, but that’d be gravy.

    Boosted Daredevil +MThor is a whole lot of fun once you get his green out. I've got 30k ish damage being done whenever the board shuffle goes off, with a replacement added, can rack up multiple triggers per turn and just eat through opponent's health.

    This seems like a Hulk/Chasm week

    So business as normal, pretty much? :(

    Abagail/5witch is a team that it takes a long time to play with/against. Damage reduction from 5Witch, and healing each time her repeater goes off, courtesy of Abagail.

    I’ve been running Daredevil/Iceman a lot in pick 2. Boosted that hits pretty hard on cascades, and Iceman’s damage reduction actually works well since the threshold is lower unboosted.

    I've been using Abigail and 5witch. Not a good team by any means... But they're so annoying to fight against because they drag stuff out. It's my best defense... Annoyance!

    Her kit has always been a great 3rd wheel for just about team. She is great for suppressing or targeting specific colors of ap, rewards one handsomely for match 5s, and eveb makes them happen via tile spawning. She is generally just great to have around for almost any partner. But she was overshadowed by SC's release around the same time and never quite got the appreciation she deserves. No surprise she excels when boosted.

    She is my least covered 5-star (3/1/1), not including Venomsaurus. She is currently my favored 5-star to get her up some extra levels, and Black Knight is my Favored 4-star to help with that. Since Black Knight doesn't have a 3-star feeder, it's going to take a LONG time to get her to somewhere useful.

    She used to be my slot in partner...but then Wong came along.

    I love Sersi and I use her every Puzzle Gauntlet. But, her team value kind of fell off and she doesn't scale. A 450 Sersi is no better than a 550 Sersi at the things that matter.

    Still she is great and was probably undervalued until a few months ago.

    I dunno...
    Mines a baby and making a 4.5k strike/protect/attack every turn is pretty great.
    Would love to see what a 672 sersis numbers are.
    Yeah,shes been an mvp quite a few times in puzzle gauntlet as well.

    I use her for board manipulation and am happy with the extra match 5 damage.
    I never worried about her specials though, and I never even looked how big they were.
    I used to put her with heroes that did not have a partner. Now Wong is that guy.
    I still like and use her sparingly though.

    She is very good with Daredevil if you have him in a health state where he is making strikes - use her green to either create purple for him to use or on yellow to buff his strikes (or hers, it’s just that his are always yellow so you can catch a bunch at once).

    Obviously this is meant to show us what the game was like back in 2013 -- 100% Chasm/Hulk teams.

    Unless the new Dev team changes things up, past class of events have locked out every character that isn't part of the class. So I expect class of 2013 will be 100% xforce wolvie and invisible woman.

    I don't remember now, honestly. I feel like they've done it with lockouts and without in the past.

    If the event does lock out everyone post-2013, expect a thread to show up here, from someone who doesn't normally post, that's just full of massive, massive salt from the Chasm-only hoarder crew.

    Everybody else is locked out, so Wolverine & IW time.

    A 2013 event would be torture.
    Maybe all 2013 tons are boosted? If they are it won’t change much.
