    It cost Shang half the AP to do 5x that damage and they share red, I don't like it. Maybe if IM was fun to play. I suppose people still run him for his yella though.

    Oh, I can't see building around this, or (probably) ever even casting it. But it's a totally crazy number for an unboosted 450.

    True, if the game didn't have ridiculously unbalanced characters, that is a large single cast no special circumstances hit.

    Is there any way to share ISO yet? You have sooooooo much and I think I need most of it.

    Also, nerf Shang Chi? Eh, EH?

    I wish they gave us some way to get rid of the stuff...

    Agreed. Currency is so odd in this game. You tend to either not have enough or have way too much. There isn't much inbetween.

    43mil here. I'd accept almost anything they offered, no matter how ridiculous. It's just sitting there. One million iso for 5 CPs? Sure, whatever.

    My 7.5 million feels downright paltry now.

    His purple is great and all, and his green can be a big nuke. That black though... With 100k health at 450 and 45 - 50% damage reduction that can't be turned off 😱 at 672 he'll have like 500k health and with everything you hit him with doing half that's like having a million health.

    How does he interact with Sighclops? Is it even worth messing with his yellow?

    Not sure if you can search the thread, but has anyone mentioned Cloak&Dagger yet? Wondering how they would fare as a 5*, I have a max and a dupe at 13 covers, not sure if I should do it

    It's their only shot at being useful, I personally would do it. Their kit is kind of fun, perhaps @entrailbucket already has.

    Confirmed, Bucket has em at like 480somethin. 8k healing or black/yellow battery not too shabby, hard to say since I didn't run them often enough in their crippled 4* variant.

    I haven't used them but the numbers and power set seem reasonable. I'd probably try to exploit the super cheap purple power with someone who does something every time you cast a power -- 3ap powers are pretty rare!

    If you do have many of the 4s ascended could you also check Human Torch (hammond) and the multiple man? I think I might be up to something here. Start the match with all AP +1 and spam every variant of multiple man's power. Wondering how much in strike tiles that would get from Torch. At 4* it's not really significant, but might be pretty strong when ascended

    EDIT: coulson + multiple man + hammond could be huge at high enough levels, 6 turn 1 cds + 6 huge strike tiles

    Has anyone played as OR against the ascended Moondragon + 5Phyla yet?

    I'm picking my next 4 to ascend and Moondragon isn't crazy far off, but as a 4star she is useless, not sure if she makes sense as a 5 (outside of with Hulk). I really like Phyla, but she destroys health packs. I think @Daredevil217 was thinking of trying this one also.

    If no one knows, can you please try this one our for me @entrailbucket ?

  • entrailbucket

    Sorry, I haven't found a good use for Moondragon besides the iHulk team. The problem is that she hurts everybody else so badly when she's tanking, you kind of need to pair her with an immortal or a mass healer. Maybe M'baku would work for that?

    I haven't tried her with Phylla-Vell, and I've barely used Phylla anyway. I'll mess around with her when she's boosted again, last time she was too low level for me.

    mm, if she isn't very versatile I probably shouldn't focus her anyway. I wish it could be Coulson but at level 278 that fool is my lowest 4star. Perhaps Indi Spider? He seems like he could be quite annoying in PVP with Chasm. Otherwise it might be Beast, he is only 60 levels away and seems quite good (while also being fun).

    Coulson has been bonused since day 1 of ascension for me (along with whoever the newest 4* are) and he's a murderer. Mine is 530 or something and I use him unboosted in shield sim now vs walls of 550 meta guys -- he's that good.

    Spiderman India is very very strong -- he's the best web tile spammer, he has a passive dodge, and his AoE is insane.

    Beast is another great pick -- his match damage boost gets out of control, and the rest of his powers are meant to support that.

    If you have specific questions on numbers, just check out my roster, I'm in the alliance Clochards (and will be forever).

    WhiteBomber Posts: 751 Critical Contributor

    Oh yeah, I've checked your roster multiple times in the past. However, swimming through your roster isn't the most fun without any filters. I've even ruled out a few by checking (damn your nerf BOOOONG!).

    I just finished my 2nd (Dlocke and Karnak) and since Locke isn't really a fun character, I'm thinking someone fun. I already love Beast on multiple teams and Coulson is just too far away. I would love to do a web team, but then I have to choose 2 instead of one.

    Are any of the annoying tanks actually fun to play? Blob, Rogue etc.? Blob seems liike maaaybe.

    @entrailbucket any chance you've tried IndiSpider (5,5,3) with Chasm to be an annoying defensive team?

    Blob/Polaris/Hawkeye (or Kang) is actually a hilarious team -- give that one a shot sometime, you don't even need anyone ascended. (Seriously, I love that team).

    Rogue is ok -- her green power does crazy damage and she's definitely annoying to fight.

    As for other tanks, Rhino is pretty fun. M'baku is great, but you probably already knew that. And don't forget Thing and Red Hulk!
