Agatha Harkness (Coven Leader) 5*

LavaManLee

It's hard to describe how fun Agatha is to have on your team. There are many different ways to play her and it just depends on who you team her with and what your preference is. I was running her 5/3/5 thinking her blue was just ok but it is WAY better than ok, IMHO. I've switched to 3/5/5 and see how that goes.

Also, for any who thought she wouldn't get really good at higher levels, she does. Especially when boosted (which goes without saying). That blue can hit like a ton of bricks. And if she tanks and has Fantasticar on, she can fire her blue and keep hitting, and hitting and hitting....

Absolutely love this character. She is so much fun. Started her with Apoc and brb and it was fun and effective, but once I figured out matches don’t do damage with her purple repeaters , I switched to Math or and Colossus and it’s my favorite team.

That's more than 1 in 5 so over 20%?

Slidecage should have used some of that math Jinx is so excited about.

🤣 I got 2 out of 18 pulls so less than average, but 5 of the 4* pulls led to a champ level for other 5s. I'll take that.

When teammates make matches, it doesn't seem to show the increase in their match damage from her yellow when clicking the character portrait I noticed.

Is there a certain go to support everyone's using for her ?

Guess so I probably get her up to 13 covers when she goes into ll ... 9 covers not bad. Could really not used the 11 witch covers. I don't think I even use witch anymore . Then again could be worse and ended with 5 like doom

I think she is like 335. 5 on yellow

This seems to be common when characters are boosted dynamically in match by some effect, regardless of who it is. See also: Implanted Bomb.

I don’t know that there’s a specific support exactly, but purple AP is extremely useful, so maybe Quantum Realm.

Seems like Agatha is very highly regarded.

I'll ask the dumb question -- is she good enough to replace any of the current "meta" characters? Which ones, and how?

Edit: for an awful lot of folks this isn't a "dumb" question at all, and I don't mean to put them down. In fact it's probably the most important question for many of you! It feels weird just asking it, though, and I don't know how meaningfully I can contribute to the discussion.

Who is meta now

Guessing
5 star aunt may
Mthor
Not sure who else

Depends on your definition of meta. Answers seem to vary fairly wildly. Personally, though she's my favorite character in the game, and is used a lot, I don't consider mThor meta. 🤷

I always quote it because it's not an adjective, and I agree that the definition is pretty squishy.

The idea is the group of characters that have the highest representation in the metagame, which has generally evolved to mean those that are both usable and also widely used when unboosted.

Think about partners she could bring back to the front.
If you run her and Col5 against ShangThor you will likely win all the time.
She gives many different characters a chance to jump up.

She is a A tier partner that will give many different characters a chance to win.

If you play it right you can win often on turn 1 or 2.

We will see how she is after she is no longer boosted...but she is looking great.

Oh she plays unboosted. Took Agatha(454), Colossus(478), and mthor(508) into shield sim. Played as much a variety as I could and lost once in seven quick matches. Lost to a 550 OR and Chasm with 370 3* Aunt May, which I expected just not as quickly as it happened. Couple got a tad bit dicey, but that was more my fault for not paying attention to the AI's ap and kept getting myself stunned by Polaris in one and Riri in another.

Oops. Got auto corrected. Meant Mthor

She is 100% meta. Best character to pair with any team that has high match damage and has a chance at cascades. (Hence the Colossus/Mthor pairing) Would be good with Juggs/Grocket, but wouldn’t caved as many colors. Always looking for new suggestions though.

Is she just a third with those pairs in pick-3, or would she, say, replace Shang-Chi (or m'Thor?) in the m'Thor/Shang-Chi pick-2 team?

If someone new is going to be widely used, they'll have to push someone old out!

Has anyone made a (the) definitive post on how (multiple ways) to use her? She still seems confusing to me.

I figured, but everything lined up so perfectly.
