You don't need any special counter to beat Polaris/mthor. I beat them every chance I see them in pvp with whatever boosted team I'm using. Target Polaris first and she goes down fast from match damage even when she's 550.

Very rarely do they ever get a chance to do much. I much rather take on 550 polaris/mthor than 672 whatever the best boost team is

You generally can't kill her with match damage though, because they always have Leapfrog and she'll go invisible unless you burn all the charges right away.

I just try to have some kind of fast AoE or targeted board destruction, but it's annoying because you only have 3 or 4 turns before they'll cascade you for essentially infinite damage.

In my experience they usually don't have leap frog equipped, probably cause mthor will just blow up their own invisibility tiles.

That's crazy because we play the same slice (albeit at very different times!).

Probably 95% of the nontrivial fights I take have Leapfrog equipped -- even during events like Omega Red's boost week where it's going to do basically nothing for them.

I'm not sure if it's the only support they've got, or they're just afraid to not run it.

Probably the difference is that I start early and you play late. I get to hit alot of the people that don't care about pvp and only climb to maybe 700 or 800 points and don't bother to shield and never retaliate. You play at the very end when everyone who is still out are usually the people that care about pvp and are trying to climb.

The Thor/Pol teams I see usually have leapfrog on Polaris. So much so, I just assume leapfrog when I see Polaris.

I'm always surprised when she doesn't go invisible on first hit.

Even at ascended 550 though invisible Polaris may be difficult to hit with match damage, but Ascended Namor doesn't care, or AoE. There are options, as you said.

Almost every single team I come up against with Polaris has Leapfrog, in fact I'm surprised if they DONT have it now and it's funny that their own Jane rarely destroys it lol damn A.I

Its frustrating because all of these frustrations could definitely be fixed with minor tweaks to characters' kits or have a mode where you can pick your own characters without supports but still earn continuous rewards.

This is sensible talk, and god damn it sensible talk will not be tolerated in my forums.

We were promised that Supports would be integrated carefully into PvP but instead they threw the Supports hand grenade into the room and locked the door and went on holiday. It has been exploding ever since.

If it’s been exploding ever since I’d describe it more as an infinitely long fuse connecting an infinite number of sticks of dynamite.

Magik is one of my fave characters but when would I ever get to use her outside of her own PVP event? Magik and the two goblins should have synergy with the tiles but realistically when would that team EVER work?

Hi,
I saw this comment and, seeing that you are clearly a discerning individual with good taste, it pushed me to register for the forum after a few months of occasional lurking. I have good news and bad news for you if you want to use Magik in PvP. My team has mostly been soft capped around 330 for a while so take with a grain of salt but I do see the same MThor teams often, just at lower levels. The bad news is I don't see opportunities to use 5* Magik, but the good news is that 3@4* Darkchylde Magik is part of a team that I regularly use and can take down MThor/Polaris on average turn 2. The team mates? Purple Man and 3* Captain Marvel.

The match goes like this: Captain Marvel tanks 1-3 hits on turn 1. Generates red and black AP. Magik fires red to remove some enemy tiles and generate more black AP. Purple Man fires black to generate purple AP. Magik fires purple to generate black AP. Then you keep alternating between Purple Man's black and Magik's purple until the enemy team are all downed on turn 2.

In pick 2 you can do this without Captain Marvel, but it may more often take you to turn 3 to get the tennis going. Of course supports or boosts or a lucky turn 1 match 5 can make this a turn 1 team.

I am surprised a little that no one ever seems to mention or use Purple Man teams, I assume others have worked this out but disregard for either speed or defence reasons.

Invisible dynamite that triggered on turn 0 (or 1 whatever the end result of that debate was!)

What I really love is not one of you have questioned the my forums comment.
This can be one of 2 things. 1 you accept that I am the de facto forum manager or, 2 none of you can be bothered to engage with my childish drivel.
I'm picking option 1.

I thought it was long ago decided that you are a rogue chatbot AI that much like the 5* Wasp rebalance they either forgot to fix you or you are now sentient like Hal9000 and cannot be stopped without complete destruction of everything. So a bit of both.

Oh yeah officialClemFandango, no one has heard from him in a while have they.
I reckon that someone took huge offence at his attempt at riding the coat tails of 2025 forum entertainer and became obsessed with him.
Hired a private detective, tracked him down and stood outside their house and did that unnerving point and scream from invasion of the body snatchers for a week straight. Soiling themselves as they were so committed to the cause. Then after this never ending mental torture they while sobbing like a child with snot and everything said they'd stop.
Or he moved on.
Hard to tell innit?
