Your latest fun team combination

5* Phyla-vell 5/3/5
Onslaught 3/5/5
Doc Ock 4/5/4 or 3/5/5

Put this team together and it feels pretty good. Phyla-Vell is the heavy hitter and deals most of the damage with her CDs and her red nuke. Onslaught gets rid of the TUPs so Phyla-Vell can make more matches in colors and Doc Ock can get her AP and swap tiles to create matches and her CDs.

Doc Ock is really a superb support character for heavy hitter. He’s probably a really good character to ascend.

So who do you play Ghost with. I have ignored her all this tim because I was in 5* land and the match damage bonus didn’t matter because she was a 4*. Only have her at level 331, but I can definitely see her being strong now that she’s ascendable. I’m assuming you never want to fire her powers since it lowers her match damage and they suck anyway, so the field seems wide open. Have 3* Magik maxed as a 4* and working on getting to 5*, so as long as the match damage bonus stacks, I thought that could be great. Same sort of thing with Cyclops5*.

3* Jubilee + Nico +.....somebody I haven't yet identified seems like it could be a pretty wild attack tile buffer. I'll keep messing with thirds after I dump some iso into vampire jubilee.

4* Doom. I’ve gotten the attack tile past 10k in the 4* Deadpool’s daily node.

X-23 is ridiculous. Paired with boosted 2* Nightcrawler this week, they wreck everything (although she's doing most of the work!). Once you cast her red the game is over. I don't really understand exactly what it's doing, but everyone just dies.

Was literally coming to sing her praises. Glad I added some extra levels to her before she rotated out of LLs. Heals her teammates and self, conditions apply.

The thing about her red power is having enough ap to not only fire it(5ap) but have at least 2 more red ap for the strike tile that's created because it'll drain 2ap. If you don't have the ap, the cd tiles for her red convert to basic tiles. Had to look it all up bc I couldn't figure why the cd tile kept changing after one move. Getting the increased match damage even once is enough to completely change the course of a match, and if you fire her green as well, its a wrap.

Somebody somewhere was saying that her red was weak, it should be an always-on passive, and like...that character would just immediately oneshot full teams with match damage.

Nightcrawler was helping in this team, a little more than I thought. Every time x-23 matched red, he'd make two big strike tiles, which feed x-23's red power even further. His purple can also produce cascades in her colors after you drop her red.

I'd cast her red with 5 if I had Nightcrawler purple ready to go (on one of her colors) and a few strikes out -- it'd just wipe the whole enemy team.

Could use Colossus as a third for defense, nuke, match damage, and another color outlet.

Some stuff I thought of but haven't tried (so attempt at your own risk!):

Hunter's (or anybody's, I guess) team match damage boost would be extremely strong with x-23 red.

Daken (2* or 3*) creates strike tiles for making green matches, which are both things that x-23 likes.

Half-health Thor would feed her a ton of red, green, and yellow (and generate cascades, at the potential cost of blowing up your CD, I guess)

Maria Hill has no color overlap with x-23, and her cheap black power is one of the strongest strike tile powers in the game (the downside on this one won't matter because everybody will be dead)

I put X-23 with 3May and Deathlok. When X-23 is boosted she makes short work of everything.
Unboosted its also quite good.

I don't think strikes tiles are the way to go with her since she already hits so hard. Hunter would be nice to get her into the 40-50k match 3 area though.
As a pure damage stick x-23 is pretty awesome. She doesn't need special stuff on the board so it's pretty hard to shut her down.

Finally got 3AM ascended to 4. This goes into the "no, duh" category but running her in Sim with MT and SC just tears through everything. The big downside is that her HP is still only around 23,000. So super susceptible to AOE like OR or IH. Also, she can be taken out easily by a Chasm team who targets her first. But, for pure joy of being able to match 4 for like, 50000 points, and quick matches, it is quite fun.

She likes strike tiles so much because of the way her red interacts with them. I think her damage formula is doubling strike tiles first (or +90%, close enough!) then adding 110% to that, and all her matches hit twice. So you're getting a huge multiplier on everything she does if you've got strikes out.

Now that said...something like Maria Hill might be overkill -- x-23 hits super hard as it is, what fights exist where you need to do 100,000+ damage every time you move the board? But this thread is for fun stuff!

That’s wild I’ve never used her a match damage hero. I used her match as finishers and tried to boost her powers.

AFAIK she is the only one we use that benefits from both match a power boosting, and she’s really good at both.

I just know I get her green hitting ridiculous over 180k. I have not seen the absolute hit when she is boosted.

I just know she is the best power based damage stick in the game right now. And, she doesn’t need anything on the board to do it.
If you are not careful she can wipe your team in 3 turns.

X23, HalfThor, 5Cat can be fun, but when buffed everyone does die a little too fast.

Cat will only tank 2 colors, let it get get once or twice and fill the board with strong strikes. HalfThor of course immediately gives enough AP for X abilities, just don't fire her yella if you still need Thor to be at half health.

She of course also pairs very well with Beta Ray so she can heal and feed her green, but it's slower.

Who’s cat?
