Why do you use hevo against ihulk rather than Wong?

If I had to guess, it's because of the permanent health and match damage reduction.

Yeah, it was mainly because when I think iHulk, I still think iHulk+Chasm. Wong's start of battle is neutered, but Hevo's passive still functions when stunned. Hevo starts stronger there than Wong, he tanks everything, and his boosted match damage means Chasm's drain is irrelevant.

Huh. This looks decent, at the very least. The condition on the black is not all that hard at all - fire yellow, then black, get hit by an AoE and have enough black, or just have two of the four three (or four) turn CDs survive while you finish off 8 black AP.

I wouldn't say it's trivial, and honestly it's probably fine, but it's definitely not actually hard, unlike, say 5Gamora which is both super-hard and not an auto-kill anymore. Maybe it's time to revisit her, eh?

That purple power looked really weak. The tiles can only appear in 4 specific spots on the board and only replace basic tiles. So if there is a TU there or another SAP tile then the Purple can't place a tile there

It reads as though it's going to use a different spot on that diagonal if the first isn't available. We'll see.

I’m just reminding myself that the devs said, after Peggy wasn’t released as they said she would be, that until it’s live it’s not final.

Really appreciate the new layout for these release announcements. Much more user friendly and all pertinent information is easy to identify.

Corner tiles only have 1 diagonal adjacent tile.

The 7 Yellow active power to create 2 - 6 attack tiles takes advantage of her massive strike army.

Purple - passively or actively put down CD tiles which greatly reduce all dmg to her. That’s pretty awesome, especially against Omega, IHulk or anyone else that fires AOEs, including MThor. She doesn’t protect your teammates but she is basically immune to team dmg herself. And once those CD tiles are out, they protect her from all other dmg too. Keep in mind that it’s possible to get more than 4 out at 1 time.

Black - This is the power we all wanted; an insta-kill if you meet the condition, which isn’t too hard at Level 5: 4 attack tiles & 2 kitten tiles, plus 8 black AP. Take down anyone no matter their size or defense. It’s probably best used as your final winning hit, but of course, you could take out the most problematic character first with it. It’s still a little tricky to pull off (which you should appreciate because you’ll be fighting against her) because she needs to fire her 3 powers in the right order to down someone.

In PVE, she could be used to add lots of strong strikes every turn if she tanks against tile movers. Think about this: (at 450) adding 3 x 1,068 strikes every turn is better than Kitty’s strike tile buffing.

I think she can only add 2 strikes per turn because it says for each Ally in the fight so I don't think that includes her.

I suspect in practice getting those kitten tiles on the board is going to be harder than it looks since they can only spawn in 4 spots on the board. So if those spots are occupied by a TU tile or SAP or CD or repeater or web or charged etc then the kitten tile can't spawn. I would imagine fighting her with BRB/Polaris or some of the web tile teams will keep her kitten tiles from appearing entirely.

@KGB We’ve seen this wording before (each ally in the battle) and I’m pretty sure it includes the character whose power it is. If it said “each other ally in the battle”, I would agree with you.

KGB

@bbigler

You might be right.

Incidentally, I think 5 star Elektra will be a popular character to use against Goose with her Purple set to 5. Target Goose first and steal all 3 strikes she makes until she's dead.

Five star kingpin always adds a strike for his green along with two other special tiles for other two allies so it includes the kitten also and three strikes is likely to be the case

They only have 1 diagonally adjoining tile.

Blackstone

My only thought while reading this is it's a missed opportunity to put three GLA into one character.

I'm less inclined to see the movie if kittens is the way it's going.

Just my opinion though, as I'm sure someone wants to see it.

? I don't understand what you wrote. The power text says diagonally adjacent.

CT
TD

C = Corner tile. D = diagonally adjacent. There is only 1 for a corner tile.

KGB

DrClever

Adjacent doesn't mean adjoining.

I'm not going to pretend I like their wording, but it does read like they are trying to say it's not as you interpret it. If you wanted to specify only those tiles then you'd be better off saying adjoining (touching) rather than adjacent (in the neighbourhood of).

KGB

@DrClever

You should google what adjacent means. The definition includes the word adjoining. It literally means next to / touching (especially in geometry).

They clearly wanted these to appear in specific spots rather than at random.

What other places do you think these tiles could spawn by your definition of adjacent?

KGB

skittledaddy

Once upon a time it was explained that "allies" included themselves, but "teammates" did not.
Is that 100% still that case? - I don't know. But there is a likely chance that it will be three strikes.

Borstock

Looks like an interesting third wheel. The insta-down seems reasonably achievable once a match, but that's plenty of work done for a third.

I wonder if she reintroduces Kitty and/or other special boosters to PvP. The scarecrow dmg could be something.

Elektra’s passive only steals 1 strike at a time, even set to level 5. The active power can steal up to 3 though.
