    If you really want to have fun, go back to the first few pages and read about the fun teams from 2016 -- before 5*, and, really before 4* were particularly widespread.

    I wonder if we’ll see any of the novelty off season PVPs get run again so some of those non-5* teams will get interesting again?

    This is honestly the best thread on the entire forum.

    Not meta but:
    5* FosThor, 5* Mags, Big Wheel.

    Use Thor red and yellow, Mags blue (destroying black/yellow or purple/green) and Big wheel green if it suits you but really don't need it.

    Haven't tried it on PVP, but it's fun to use those cascades to build up counters for Big Wheel.

    Thor and Mags feed each other so it's possible to have a winfinite going but...

    Big Wheels counter stops counting at 20. This is something I didn't know prior to doing this. So I build to 20, make a match to let the other team go, watch the board flip then start over.

    As a PVE mini game, especially on wave nodes if you're not in a hurry, it's fun to mess around with.

    5 * Kang/Deathlok has been my favorite new duo combo for a while now - turns out it finally gives me a good use for 4 * Doc Ock - works great against special tile teams. My Kang is 5/5/3, I'm not champing 5 *s yet, I run Deathlok at 5/3/5 since I never use the blue's active, and Doc I do 4/4/5, I won't be casting his blue or black either. The Deathlok gen gives 3 blue and black a turn, Doc can add more gen and some healing with his yellow, and a bit of extra damage from his tentacle move passive, abd most importantly, you keep special tiles off the board well at no cost. Very easy to focus down a squishy with focus and whatnot, and just send the others away and/or blast one down with Kang's balck and purple.

    I also found Quake makes a decent third to Kanglok if you wanna fight a Juggs team without taking much damage. She goes well with Shang-Chi with all the board shake too.

    And last fun duo I've been trying out is Shang and 5 * Pool - with Chavez or Professor X. Pool's black can get really strong from Shang's true heal letting him tank and the green extra expense can add a nice bit of board shake. Professor X is self explanatory - he loves Shang's abilities making matches big enough to trigger his passive in 4 or 5 * form. Shang/Chavez and Karnak or Prof has been a favorite for a while, but I was pleasantly surprised to find how good Pool works in the same teams.

    I run shuri with kang and desthlok.. u still gain 3 blue/black ap each turn.. I also stockpile 2 red ap at the start then I only need 2 red matches to fire shuris red (8ap) this reduced all friendly powers by 3 ap so kangs blue only costs 6ap and his black 3ap

    Wow, no new fun team combinations for nearly 2 months? Had to go hunting for this thread!
    I wonder if this speaks to how exciting the recent 5 stars have been to tinker around with…
    Has anyone found a good team for Gwenom to get her big hits off reliably?

    Gwenom/Parker/chasm works pretty well, gwenom’s red hits ultra hard if you can get the webs you need out. Of course it would work much better if chasm wasn’t always flushing your AP down the toilet for you.

    I tried messing around with Okoye teams with Gwenom, and I don’t think her red takes advantage of Wakanda forever cleanly. I believe it’s because her own black power boost must be doing it’s “100% power boost” in the same equation slot that Okoye and Apocalypse do it. I’ll have to try using Emma to see if she boosts it because hers stacks when theirs doesn’t it seems. Miles is a great partner for Gwenom though, I like her at 3/5/5.

    *edit - Upon closer inspection, Okoye does boost it, it must have been a weird number of webs in play or something. Testing with Emma it also felt weird though.

    I don’t know if it’s been posted before, but 5* Emma/Sersi/Prof. X can go winfinite pretty quickly with a few boosts and supports. Sersi is the MVP in this one. I like to have her limit the number of black tiles at the start of the match, since Professor X is flimsy and I don’t ever want him tanking. From there I chase Red, Green or Purple.

    Casting any one of their board manipulation abilities should be enough to get the winfinite going. Plus they all possess team damage abilities with Sersi’s Eternal Life countdown tiles being particularly effective when boosted by Emm5. I like to drop the winfinite once I’ve got multiple of Sersi’s countdowns out. Then I switch Emm5 to diamond form and once that wears off, Sersi’s countdown tiles expire and it’s match over.

    Gambit Trivia: if you can put him to sleep or toss him airborne it lifts the Stacked Deck power block. Not sure anyone in this batch can do it, but it’s an edge case you may want to squirrel away for the future.

    Gwenpool sends team mates airborne and has a useful purple power.

    4* Riri can send him Airborne.

    I’ve been enjoying running Riri, Gamora, and Vulture for class of 2017 PvP. Vulture takes to the air and generates Blue and Green, Riri uses Green to send opponents airborne and Gamora uses Blue to stun. Surprisingly effective against the 5* teams I’ve been dealing with, though very squishy and absolute trash on Defense. At least I’m only chasing my 50 wins.🤷‍♂️

    Found another fun one in the 2022 Class event. Deathlok, MThor, and 5* Riri. 2 red and blue AP a turn, and focus point damage from Deathlok, Riri can fill the board with charge tiles very fast with her 3 cost red, and provide a free turn with her green, and MThor's constant cascades make for a great AP generation team, plus she destroys Riri's overcharge tile most of the time. The board fills with charge tiles, and the destroyed charge tile count rises pretty quickly as well, so once you're ready you can swap from Riri's red to MThor's and start blowing people up.

    I encountered an under-leveled HiEvo + Deathlok + Kang team in PvP and they actually gave my A team somewhat of a problem. I still won, but I was pretty impressed.

    I like this team too, but I think 5 Emma is even faster than Deathlok due to the damage boost.

    Haven't tried that myself but I will - the the 2 blue and red a turn really gets the team going and the focus point damage helps cut through your initial target quickly, especially since you're targeting red and blue anyways.
