Iron Man & Captain America a good combo?

Unknown

So looking at Captain America's abilities I'm thinking he'll make a good team with Iron Man since his blue & red abilities return lots of blue/red which means you could get double use out of those colors for one-two punches & stuns. Most likely not as good as the Venom & Classic SpiderMan team but a lot easier to get and build up perhaps.

Thoughts?

I haven't really taken a good look at the cap yet, but I don't think they would be a good combo because they both use the exact same colors. Captain America would probably be a good replacement for Iron Man though

I was thinking the same thing. I've been using Iron Man with Storm (Yellow/Red and Green/Black) I've pushed them both up to Level 30+ but with the R40 revision coming out I'm going to hold off on any further upgrading of those two and start building my two-star team.

I have used Captain America and Iron Man a bit together this morning and they do work out okay together but there are much better combos out there. I would just use Captain America as more of an opener and when I needed that big hit to finish off an opponent I used Iron Man. Once I get my Capt up a couple more levels though I plan on just dropping Iron Man.

Is Capt that big of a hitter that he can replace Iron Man? I haven't leveled any of his skills up yet but they start off pretty weak.

Captain America seems pretty bad to me. he has really no damage dealing moves like iron man does.

Looking at his initial skill levels, i thought he looked pretty weak, but it's probably best to reserve judgment until we see some maxed out versions. I've thought the same about other characters, then got them to max level and changed my mind completely.

Iron Man's specials are still hitting way harder than Caps but right now (with the 150% boost from the Pvp Tourney) every match is Caps. I would like to think/hope that maybe be 10 he would be doing better.

I have a lvl 30ish Iron Man and a level 5 Captain (3 in the red skill and 2 in the blue) for reference.

Generally, I don't think that Captain America is much better than Iron Man, especially considering you will have to level him from scratch and 2 stars cost more ISO to level than a 1 star. Chances are everybody already has a decently leveled Iron Man. Captain America seems to be more defensive. His best skill is probably his yellow skill. At level one each protect tile does -12 dmg. His skills cost a lot of AP though and the returned AP after 3 turns is somewhat unreliable as they can be destroyed (They could be used to create combos though). However, maybe with more levels in the skills the AP cost will go down? Iron Man's skills are a bit more spammable.

I think Cpt. America's skill would be great for making lots of criticals but whether that would be worth it vs. other characters remains to be seen. I blew all my ISO on the last tournament so it'll be awhile before I level mine up much.

running a 3 color captain america at level 9 with an ironman and black widow, and i must say, this is some funny ****. stun lock + returning shield over and over is hilarity.

that and my basic combos because of 150% increase is going for 100, 400 crits.

without the 150% increase, i'd lean towards him being more useless but at least for this tournament, i would avoid a level 10+ captain america unless u can burst him down quickly. his basic combos just do so much damage

From what I can see, Capt America just isn't all that, and it's not about damage scaling. They need to make his "return AP" far more reliable, and his defence ability stronger/more sustainable.

Here's what I recommend:
-Return AP goes down to 1 turn countdown by level 5
-Shield defence needs to be 20-30 dmg reduction per tile by level 5, and going with the near indestructible nature of the shield, should yield shield tiles that
A. Requires 2 matches before you can remove them, or
B. Needs a tile destruction skill to remove, or
C. The entire skillset revamped to be a passive, where with each X% damage done to team mates, will automatically generate Y number of shield tiles. The team gets stronger defensively as they drop in health. X/Y values improve with skill levels.

This way, it will compensate for Capt America not doing as much damage as Iron Man, but to be more than capable as a "defence specialist" to warrant that 2 star uncommon rank.

When I was running my cap with iron man, there was literally zero reason to use cap's yellow power, when i could saturate the field with iron man's 9 power. Honestly, its hard to say how he is til he's up in level with the high level iron mans/medium level thors but right now, matching cap with a black widow, 5 turn stun while using red shield over and over is pretty hilarious.

His blue shield however is kinda useless in the presence of a black widow unless you have lots of blue stocked to throw a shield out, then black widow stun as soon as its done, and after the shield is returned, u'll have another black widow stun available
