    Agent Coulson is bananas. He makes 4 1-turn CDs that deal good damage when another power is fired. The devs are WILDIN right now.

    LETS GO!

    actually with 5 covers he currently makes FIVE 1-turn cds that each do 6k+ damage. Very much doubt this is persist. Enjoy using him with Garg and HE while it lasts.

    It looks like the devs didn’t spend enough time adjusting AND testing ascendable characters. Quality takes time

    Maybe but this sounds like more fun.

    Y’all all seem to be missing the real story here - my man Flaptain is about to run it at the 5* tier. Coulson is likely to be a sleeper hit as well now that he unlocks Hawkeye from being tied to a play-down character.

    ^called it on Coulson lol. Is Flaptain also broken? my dupe wasn't ready...

    He doesn't seem to do anything extra, but red is a pretty high-damage power, even though it's expensive and (sorta) conditional.

    The flaptain might be viable with polaris BRB as he gives them a very high red damage outlet. But otherwise it's hard to think of an obvious use. Most of the better protect spam teams already have better reds (apoc, OR, etc).

    Flaptain’s primary use has always been his passive CD burndown on a blue match. How much does he buff SAPs on blue now?

    How do you get a token for the ascension vault?

    Misread what you wrote. @MoosePrime is correct, pay hp only.

    Yeah, but I can’t unlock the vault. It says token required, but there’s no option to pay. Don’t know how to get the first token.

    Lvl 462 unboosted, he buffs 2 tiles by 976 each.

    I'd use him for countdown spam, there are way better buffers (Nico).

    Ugh. I was looking at the Champions 2.0 vault.

    I was hoping he’d be able to burn down repeaters as well as a 5, but I guess not.

    He does 5 1 turn CD's with Blue set to 5. I may need to think about changing his best build from 4/5/4.

    The 18 swaps sounds kind of a down side. I assume you just select 18 tiles to be swapped, but how they are swapped is random? I like the control of selecting 2 tiles to swap to make a 5 match.

    There are two ascension vaults. One is HP purchases and the other is tokens only. I think you get a token by playing with the new ascended characters (not confirmed, but I got a token by using ascended hawkeye)

    Carol is superior at both with just her yellow power.

    The description on Coulson's purple says 'Swap 2 tiles' but has 12-18 check buttons.

    Cap is a passive though. Carol has to cast her yellow. It matters!

    Coulson is an ascended character, it takes a lot of time, there's a big tax after, etc...
    Also AI probably won't do a single match even swapping 18 tiles, so why not?
    This way coulson will see pvp light.

    The characters that swap four tiles (Bag-Man and one of the Emmas (I think)), swap 1 with 2, and 3 with 4. So 18 should swap 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc. 18 is insane and has to be broken somehow.

    Sure, but flap is random and usually requires you to make move/end your turn. Maybe if you can combine him with a board control partner to make more blue matches?
