That's a nice looking stun on his yellow 'bility.
Off-color stuns are always welcomed/

SaltnPeppa

My initial hunch was right! I'm sticking with the cover I put up previously

KGB

I was right when I called Daredevil off the obvious blind reference.

It's too bad the game is all about turn 0/1 wins and passives. His stun while nice (3 turns, targets a 2nd character like Gamora's) is rather useless in the current state of the game. I also REALLY wish the passive on the Yellow let him avoid all trap damage rather than the useless thing it does now (again, no one fires powers anymore or at most fires them 1-2 times per match) because then he'd at least have occasional value vs Mr Sinister/Jessica etc.

Also not sure why you want that Red passive because in a match damage meta (Sidewinder and other match damage boosters) anything that reduces your damage is a terrible net drag on your damage-per-match/turn.

I see what you did there.

entrailbucket

Unless the red passive only affects Daredevil, I think he's probably unusable.

A 25% permanent match damage debuff (in exchange for a bunch of traps that don't do anything) is not where you want to be right now.

ThisisClemFandango

No idea at all
Whys he halfing his own teams damage?
Poor Matt, you're one of my favourite characters even tho you aren't mpq's

Bzhai

I like that he has synergy with Elektra but why'd you guys go and make them share the same colours?

He's a lawyer, he probably did a deal behind their back.

TheXMan

It's their new way to nerf Sidewinder...every new character going forward will have this debuff.

JSP869

So we roster two copies, yes?
One 5/5/- for playing the game with.
And one of any build, solely for the Champion rewards.

Because he's blind and cannot see the colors

I'm not sure anybody is going to want to play with him at 5/5/0 either.

Dunno, maybe I'm missing something here. I'll test when he's in game and try to find something for him.

ThisisClemFandango

I also like the red has no in game explanation as to why daredevil would do this.
OK yes I am playing a game where beast smashes his lab which causes all sort of logic problems
Whys he in his lab?
Whys he smashing it up?
How does that damage the other team?
I probably have too much time on my hands.

Borstock

Does 5Elektra's yellow require the trap tiles be hers? Because if she can use his, that niche team could be pretty tough to kill.

fnedude

5Elektra's yellow power reads:
"when Elektra or her allies would take damage and there is a Trip Tile on the Board, the damage is reduced by 50% and a trap tile is destroyed, generating AP and dealing XX damage".

I think the trap tile on the board explains it also, but i think it's trap specific. Like if there was 2 trap dropping characters, like 3Doom +5Elektra

Chrynos1989

Calls himself King of the Fist, uses Kunai and Katana
Maggia thug: I might be confused

Tiger_Wong

I have quite a few questions.

Does his purple do damage/make another Fist tile every turn or only when it expires?

At lvl 5 his yellow “stuns one other enemy”…. Is it for 3 turns as well?

The red…. -50% each match? Is it only for that turn and it resets each turn? Is it only when DD makes a match or for the entire team?

Here’s hoping a get some goods from my ascended 3* DD.

I tried it with India and it doesn't seem to be any trap tile.

To his defense, he just calls himself a really good lawyer.

Rejoinder

Elektra (5*) is in my top two favourite characters in the game, so it's great to see her getting some off-meta support.

It's a shame their colours overlap completely here, but oh well. Maybe they can form a jank team with Kingpin or Yellowjacket.
