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?

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?

The "make special tiles" does not work correctly, it is happening twice.

What is supposed to happen:
1 - swap health %
2 - create tiles (passive)

What actually is happening:
1 - create tiles
2 - create tiles (passive)

So yeah, this is bugged.

I'm hoping for this....

This is the costume most people will want, so they'll give us this instead...

Which will still be better than the default

Any 3AP ability has some value in a world with ascended Coulson and free AP supports, and luckily yellow has plenty of support options. Those two guys plus Ascended Carol will be fun!

Ok yeah this one is actually extra, extra stupid:

Will be terrible on defense (the AI will save for Coulson yellow) but whatever, it's hilarious. You get 80k in strike AND protect tiles turn 1.

That's stupid broken. It probably doesn't matter, because it's slow. But that's pretty wild.

Yeah, this one falls under "neat, but not practical." There's other stuff like this but none of it is terribly problematic.

The Carol/Coulson engine is legit though -- I've been running them with Riri and a green support in sim.

Erm, is anyone else getting a bug where Captain Avalon’s ‘welcome to SHIELD’ event is actually Aikku Jokinen’s again?!?

I am. Same thing where Aikku is the featured character, but the rewards are for Captain Avalon.

Per your second edit, I tried to force restart to see if it would load the proper character, but it's still stuck. I guess I'll have to wait until the randomizer drops me in the correct universe...

I really don't understand how is yellow works in practice. I thought if I'm swapping health % around then my characters' health would be visibly changing but it's not. Also, once you've done it a few times how the hell are you supposed to keep track of whether he's got the highest or lowest? There's no indicator.

Further, he's so low level at the moment compared to who I'm running him with so he's nestled at the back with full health but what if two of my team have full health? Does the passive buff to increase strike tiles kick in or not?

Am I misunderstanding this??

So yeah, animations are sassy dance move and scone smash.

So he‘s smashing fluffy bread like Gordon Ramsey smashes salmon?

Absolutely. I have to assume he has an archenemy called Creamy Lad or Jam Man for the fury in which he is wiping that down my screen. It's personal. Especially how he does his little hand point thing on his other animation, mocking the now smashed 14th scone of the day. It is why he is banned from Cornwall and most branches of Marks & Spencer.

I hope Creamy Lad is about cream cheese or coffee, cause I‘m too terrified to actually google that

A wise choice. Creamy Lad is an omega level threat unless you know how to handle him. That sentence does not improve things. Maybe we should just concentrate on Jam Man...

I do not understand his wifeswapping power.
