    Still potential for a 4* Falcon release who could be a feeder but we will know soon enough.

    Does the yellow passive buff mean that every turn he’s airborne, he buffs all tiles by 50%? Or that he applies a 50% buff when he’s airborne, that is removed when he returns?

    This movelist looks like it’s gonna have some DIRT. I can’t wait to try him out!

    Red power at 550 lvl, is the damage number correct? "Deal 117318 damage to the target". Seem quite a large jump from 8012 at 450lvl.

    Most definitely a typo. I've corrected it.

    The first non-3/5 release in a while is Sam. Not the best timing.

    I think people see what they're searching for on all sides of the political spectrum. We have Sam at 3 and 4.

    Entertaining some idea of this being an example of any sort of bias feels like a reach.

    I'm not saying you're making such an accusation, and I recognize how some could assume this, and such things need to be considered in order to avoid the perception of bias...

    ... But he looks strong and fun in the right teams and the lack of an additional 3 we already have doesn't add up to any need for being upset.

    That's just my opinion though.

    For clarity: Sam is a favorite of my grandson's and I have his first issue as Captain America on my wall. The character (Sam) represents a lot of potential to bridge the gap between what America is and what America should be... If done well.

    Just a counter point from my perspective and in no way meant to be disrespectful or dismissive of you or your opinion.

    I called it poor timing. I don't think the devs are racist. I am a little surprised that no one thought of it, though. They could've picked a different character just to avoid even the appearance of something amiss.

    I for one am excited to see a potentially good version of such a turd character. 3 and 4star variants have been disappointing to say the least.

    Depending on how his blue reacts, he could go from "likely fun and ok" to "good"!

    Lets pull out Boregon and get this guy in there next week!

    3* Falcon combined with 4* Wasp won me many fights back in the day, I will defend him! Flaptain on the other hand...

    Presumably the feeder will be 4* Sam Wilson, and Heimdall will get a new feeder?

    I hope so. I have a 370 cap falcon and dupe with over 50 saved covers. The retro rewards will be nice once they go live and I champ the dupe then ascend the 370.

    wouldn't you want to champ the dupe now already, so you get the LTs / other stuff and then the covers / shards as retro?

    I don't have enough Iso atm to champ him now. If I get enough before he goes live in game I will do that.

    I'm confused. Why is this not the best timing? We didn't even have a 5* two months ago. Am I missing something? Thanks.
