    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.

    What are you talking about? He's not even in costume. This is what all British people wear as their day to day clothes

    I'm actually wearing this right now, yes

    Great, now I'm thinking about you wearing that.

    It's like this but with the Avalon Suit, right?

    I'm not sure I can answer this given an impending restraining order I expect any minute now...

    In my case:

    MPQ releases Captain Britain

    ME: I want Brian, not Betsy!

    MPQ releases Brian

    ME: Not like that!!!! MY EYES!!!!

    1. Release a character players want ...
    2. ... but in a look players don't like.
    3. Monetize look players wanted all along.
    4. Profit.

    Got to fund the Unity 'upgrade' somehow :D

    Maybe we will get a Bryan Ferry costume, I would pay for that!

    I literally don't understand how he works. I keep using his yellow and nobody's health is changing and he's creating a strike AND protect tile??

    Nobody cares. The game is broken. Releasing a new character is a waste now. I couldn't care less.

    I wish Unity had made them schedule WtS differently (earlier), because I really want to see if he works, but I suppose I’m also cheap so I’m not about to buy his covers.

    Is there going to be a dedicated offer for him or was it only the one with Captain Carter? I want him maxed asap but CBA with grinding for shards and covers

    I can't remember the last time a 4* was released without a costume bundle a few days later. And there is a costume due on the 14th...

    There needs to be one! I can't emphasise enough how he looks like he made his costume out of some tin foil and felt tip pens.

    They've made him look too lean IMO, he needed to be buffer/tankier!

    Every time I've tried using his yellow it doesn't seem to actually do anything. Is it bugged? Is it because I'm using the loaner?

    So here's how the Welcome to SHIELD started out...

    • Hooray! I can finally start the "Use his powers 20 times" quests.
    • Start his first match against Wolfsbane.
    • Start with 3 Red, Yellow, and Blue AP.
    • Try to activate his yellow ability.
    • I'm told there are no valid targets, because he has no teammates.

    Brian always was terrible at being a hero (hence why I love him). It is comic book accurate that he has **** this up.

    The “make special tiles” part works well but no health % swap happens that I can tell.

    He does jump in front a lot when I use it? Is that a thing that’s supposed to happen?

    Yes, that's what I mean, the health swap doesn't seem to do anything. Special tiles do seem to work though.

    I think every ability jumps the character to the front?

    Which….isn’t in any of the descriptions….
