Katai wrote: I'm surprised Patch Wolverine didn't land anywhere on that list. His strike tiles are already obscenely strong, and having them boosted is a little more than nuts. Of course, Falcon removes the enemy strike tiles you created. My suggested team would be Patch Wolverine, Falcon, and The Hood. The Hood is great utility (despite being glass) because of his AP steal. He can use his black to drop the countdown on Redwing, or he can use his Yellow to destroy the Redwing tile AND gather more AP.

The yellow should extrapolate to 70% increase to 3 tiles at level 5, so that means after a Judgment is on the board, each yellow match you made is like having 70% of another Judgment in terms of strike tiles. This is incredibly powerful though it's currently okay because yellow has a serious lack of useful abilities outside of Thor so having another character where you've to actively worry about yellow is good for game balance. Of course he also has a usable purple, which will greatly help in the matchup against OBW. Not that his purple is that great, but being able to use up your purple AP makes it possible to actually deny them, because otherwise your purple AP is just Espionage fodder. I see no reason why you'd ever want to put additional special tiles of any kind once something like Judgment is on the board. Getting 70% more on your strike tiles is easily the best choice. Maybe occasionally you'd want a 70% boost to a Captain America or Spiderman's protect tile, but it'd be difficult to have all these characters in at the same time for PvP due to the fact almost always one guy is required in PvP. I'm guessing his yellow will be nerfed by the time there are at least 4 3* with a decent yellow ability so that it is no longer necessary to put such a powerful ability on one color just to make up for its total lack of use. Prior to lazy Thor, you pretty much always want your opponent to match yellow because it's basically useless and that's just not good for balance.

Punisher, Gold Thor and Falcon is probably the best combination for Falcon, great color coverage, powerful strike tiles and a really good yellow ability. But I doubt I am going to use Falcon in the future. We have a lot of 3* now, and is very difficult to stand out between all of them...
