    Well, didn't see that yellow comin, very fun concept. Let's see how this plays out, Cotton.

    Right now this looks like an interesting strategic character that would be absolutely terrible on defense due to the hp % swapping. Not sure about offense yet.

    Worth noting, that there is no limit on the additional heals from the number of protect tiles.

    If paired with someone with true heal, can potentially have 2 tanks coming out full health...

    Another disappointing 4 star character release, Moonstone (Meteorite) was the only good one since then, everyone else since then has been disappointing.

    That Red has the ability to REALLY hit hard as enemies lose health.

    At 270 if the target has 50% health and he is at 100% then that's 10x801=8010+1780=9790 damage. If the target is at 25% heath and he is at 100% then that's 15x801=12015+1780=13795 and so on. That doubles for a 370 character and then imagine him ascended.

    Not sure the Yellow swap is worth much unless he's tanking (will be rare until you get a LOT of covers for him) and the other character you swap with can true heal. Though it at least will create some strikes or protects when fired.

    I think this is the rare 5/4/4 character since you want 4 Yellow covers to get 2 SAP tiles per time firing Yellow.

    He's going to be really fun with true healers. Seems neat!

    The impression I get from the powers is that someone had the goal of being unique... Like the odd kid that wears their clothes inside out and claims to be a fuchsia belt in every martial art.

    That's all I've got, right now.

    KGB

    He does want to tank given his increase in strike tile damage as well as protect tile resistance, however, it's hard to say for sure, but I imagine a scenario where rather than fill him back up, you actually give your frontline the health. Say, someone who doesn't like getting hit, but wants to make matches, eat a bunch of damage and then heal them back up with his un touched health.

    An example might be, Jugger1 throwing his red ability twice, then gaining 5 million health for Avalon losing like 20k. At minimum you might be annoyed when the AI swaps his health to heal someone like that.

    Maybe this can breathe a tiny bit of life back in to ol half Thor?

    He will surely love Lucky support since he creates tiles every turn, and someone will true heal off of them for the swap.

    Well, they're in the shed until July 24 at least, since the movie opens July 25 and typically the game never adds tie in characters until basically the day before the movie opens. So, patience, young padawan.

    Yeah, it's the famous No One. Brian is the 159th 4 (excluding limiteds) and there are still only 75 3s (150 fed under the current game "rules" of no more than 2 fed per feeder) so we are basically at a point where to make a 3 feed a new 4, you're pushing someone out who was being fed before.

    Surprised he isn’t Captain Britain unless the Devs are waiting to make a 5 Star

    I'm gonna guess that you can make him into Captain Britain with the Captain Britain costume for the low low price of just $9.99

    You're right, I didn't think about that. When a 5* is introduced they have a plethora of 4's to pick from who don't feed or at least solo feed. I was getting too hyped, lol.

    Quite the odd bod in terms of release timing and gimmick, hard to predict if he'd be good for a rising 4* player (with Rocket and a Guardian) or as 5* someday - he has a lot of things lined up to hit hard, but health percentage is such a vulnerable thing to build around for a character who wants to tank their colours hard...
    I would guess he'd wind up kinda fun to play with his focus being using yellow constantly, but not really competitive with the characters we already have who simply start & stay buffed e.g. Juggernaut.

    Feeder: outside chance they change Psylocke (his sister's spirit)?
    Hopium: might we be getting a 5* Reed or Sue next with a Genius affiliation gimmick - we have gotten a lot of geniuses lately, though Elsa interrupted the run.

    He sounds fun but a bit chaotic to be honest, will probably need ascending. Maybe Crystal would be a good partner?

    One thing not in question is that costume - hideous, the worst thing I've seen since Wonderman and his green and red monstrosity from the 80s. I may actually be forced to buy a costume if (hah!) there is one.

    I think he hides at the back and then switches his 100% health with the true healing tank (OML needs a buff...) right? Then burst heals himself and repeats. AoE damage weakens his concept though, I think.
