Your latest fun team combination

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.

Apocalypse 3/5/5 (Krakoa support lvl 4)
Mr.Sinister 5/3/5
Ascended Bishop 5/5/3 (Vibranium Ore lvl 4 support)

Revamped Sinister has got some dirt. He can mitigate damage, steal AP, and his blue is a really good nuke. And now that his traps do damage “once they leave the field”, there’s no getting away from the traps. If an attack tile or CD or charged tile overwrite the trap tile, you still do the damage.

Sinister+ Apoc was always a good duo but now they’re strengthened further by AS+Bushop. When in front he makes a shield and once 4 of them are on the field bishop convert 6 tiles into blue, causing cascades and feeling Sinister’s blue. Apoc’s yellow also boosts trap damage and puts more shields out for bishop to put out more blue tiles.

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.

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!

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?

@WhiteBomber said:
Is Goose the only cat? I agree though, there should definitely be a 5* Moose!

To partner with 5* Squirrel, of course.

"Hey, Rocky! Watch the AI pull a mega-cascade out of a hat!"
"Again?!?"

Boosted ascended Nico, boosted Hela, and 4* doom are fun this week. Downing somebody with specials out, then downing the doombot lets Hela’s passive double dip, so a standard fight becomes a wave node.

Looked at Hela's kit as I haven't even thought about her in a long time and it's not terrible. Black and red need AP cost lowered and threshold for the green passive lowered, green active cost is probably fine. Maybe some boost in the numbers for powers and then obviously health and match damage increases and she'd probably be good.

Ohhh and a Asgard support that could go on any Asgardian but have a bonus perk for her that she uses her red at battle start but after enemy team does their start of battle stuff, looking at you BRB and R&G. And since the supports have gotten pretty convoluted it could have special perks for all the Asgardians. Automatically make half Thor half health. Loki fires his shadow play. Heimdall could fire blue or yellow. Odin could... well Odin doesn't really do anything lol.

This may work better than the original Charlie's Angels:

Ascended 4 Prof X w Black Widow's Batons to make purple strongest
3 Black Widow with Quantum Realm to generate purple at start
1 Star Storm Ascended to 5 star with Atlantis to generate green at start

Sometimes I go winfinite on turn one even with Black Widow at only level 300. Storm's green and yellow along with black widow's red give great board manipulation.
