    As far as feeders, we are in a year where we've seen Taskmaster and Howard become feeders, obviously both generally provided way fewer covers for most players than a lot of other characters who aren't limited.

    But we've also seen characters with both primary and secondary feeders out of the gate, and characters with just a primary etc. So, a lot of variance.

    In Skull's case they were obviously planning for his release to be sort of a big deal as many players have been asking for him for years, so they probably decided to release several thematic characters around him including his feeder and also probably intentionally made it so people who want him might spend some money.

    If their goal was to make the feeder thematic, it's a bit hard to find a person besides Zola that's a better fit.

    I assume the next 5 will be fed by a more longstanding 4 but who knows.

    You know what happens when you assume, blue.

    Well I made it to two covers! I was dismayed in a sort of good way to come across somebody already rocking a 4/3/3 Skull and I guess some have him champed already! Now to finish his blue power quest I guess.

    Great videos @Bustapup! A very intriguing character. I wouldn't mind a new meta with this playstyle that isn't speed related at all.

    Are you still running him 3/5/5 in these clips?

    Very curious what his best build is, if any has been found yet.

    Is anyone else having an issue with his Black Leather costume? I just honked out 10 bucks and equipped it, but he remains in the original potato sack...

    When I try to preview it, it stays as the original.

    His leather costume, his red on red costume, and task masters Alabaster costume all don't show up in game. It looks like there is some sort of bug with new costumes.

    It’s called “hating Nazis” lol.

    Maybe some dev is lowkey protesting him.

    I don’t care that they put Red Skull in the game but I hope there’s a boss version in two weeks so I can properly beat on that racist POS.

    Taskmaster isn't a nazi though, and his costume is broken too. Robbie Reyes and Miles costumes were broken when they were first introduced as well, but I think they were fixed within a couple days.

    Well I took down the CL10 challenge node (4th clear) with a 1/1/1 Red Skull, baby champed Zemo and a baby champed (but boosted) sunspot, so pretty convinced the recent releases are of a decently high synergy/power level.
    Excited to get more covers on Red skull and really start amping those damage numbers!
