ESN91 said: Hello,I just got Gambit’s 13th cover.could someone tell me what’s his best build to play in PVP ?Thanks a lot.
Pwuz_ said: Any recommendations how to crawl through the required node for him if you’ve only got Black covers?I was cursed with a bunch of Black covers, but not a single Red or Purple. It’s a pain to try and can’t even use Deadpool Whales since I can’t use purple abilites and any time Gambit is under Deadpool, Deadpool jumps in front and dies first!!!
Putting this here for comparison, and also as a reference:
