You're literally making a landfill of past characters with moves like this and quite frankly it's a huge slap in the face (on top of a few others you've delivered). I'm hoping that I'm just jumping the gun and that we'll see Xforce changes in the next week or two, but given how feet have been dragging with any character rebalancing, consider my breath not held.

I thought about it, but it uses 12 purple and you have 3 turns to get rid of the CD, and then you can still get rid of the strike tile itself, so it's probably okay for this ability to be a bit ridiculous when it finally resolves safely. It seems like instead of figuring out how to salvage X Force (which is really hard, because all his ability are straight up damage and it's hard to make them good and not OP on a character with 9K HP) they just decided to start over with Nick Fury. His abilities looks pretty good, outside of Avengers Assemble which we literally have no idea what it does at this point. I think it'd be funny if Avengers Assemble gets you an extra character on your team (or more). That'd be totally P2W, but having 8 guys on your team sounds cool enough that I don't mind.

Even if you spent 10,000 HP (lol)to max that color out, he's still worthless. That's not the point here. The issue is that we're seeing a new shiny carrot dangled while the original turd on a stick isn't being polished up at all. Top players will be accruing Fury covers quickly enough (assuming they start putting Xforce / IW covers on prog rewards only for a bit, and just push NF covers for a month or so). I hate giving analogies but I'm sure you can come up with one where people are promised updates to an existing product, and then another is being shoved out before the original has even been touched.

Phaserhawk wrote: I see his Avenger's Assemble ability doing one of three things. (it reminds me of Shang Tsung for Mortal Kombat) I thing it's a fore gone conclusion Fury will have access to one of said charactes abilities albeit at a reduced cost if not all of them. 1. Each avenger assembled will do one of their abilties for the cost of Fury's 12 yellow. So currently you activate Avengers Assemble at level 1 and Cap shows up casting his protect shield but probably on creating 1 shield. IM35 or 40 would also show up at level 2 hence the red needed, but not required to use since the true cost of the ability is 12 yellow, so at level 2 Cap casts a shield and IM40 blasts his repulsor for damage. I'm assuming Blackwidow some version, Hulk and Thor are the other three in that order. With i'm guessing each doing something, thus if you want the full effect of the ability you would want lvl 5. (I have a feeling this is the ability and that it's going to be a very long animation sequence) 2. You assume one of the characters for a set amount of time and can use those abilties. (I don't see this as likely since it would cost you 12 yellow just to cast rendering some of the characters like Cap and Thor useless for 2 of their skills. 3. You pay 12 AP, and can then use any of the Avengers skills at reduced costs, so you could pick to choose a cap shield for 6 blue instead of 12 but it would maybe only stun for 1 turn and you get half the defense. (again, this would be a lot of programming, I think option 1 is the most likely, basically a 5 ability skill.

I"m guessing you would need say 5 purple AP for BW, 5 black for Hulk, and 5 green for Thor each doint something as well. <...> I think option 1 is the closest to what will happen and would require you to have 12 yellow AP, then 5 purple, 5 black, 5 green, and 5 red. I just wonder if you only had say 12 yellow, 5 black and say 5 purple if you would still be able to cast the ability with only the Cap, BW, and Hulk portions activating, or that it's all or none.
