I don't want to spend 500 HP on a new cover slot for him, I've only got three 1*s left and am saving those in case we ever see another 1* tourney, and have already sold off Bagman. I don't mind having to use a loaner if he were to have a PvP, but I don't want to sell him if there's a chance he's going to be required in order to play certain nodes or events in PVE. If someone could reply and let me know that'd be great. Thanks

Basically any time you would previously have seen A Wolvie on a team, expect to see this guy instead I think once I have him up to strength, I will rotate him and wolvie - his Fireball is the same strength as Adamantium Slash for less AP and his black makes him like a 2* mStorm, but he's fragile and strike tiles have their uses too. His colours make him compatible with Thor/Ares too, esp if the featured character has blue or purple, but will interfere with them on defence. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

I seriously doubt that 2** Torch's Fireball is going to be anywhere near as strong as A-Wolv's Adamantium Slash. 3*** Torch's Fireball maxes out roughly in the same ballpark as 2** Wolv's Adamantium Slash, in terms of raw damage. That said, 2** Torch's Fireball is going be valued much lower in terms of damage as it is a 8 AP skill versus a 12 AP skill. I'm banking on 2** Torch's Fireball to land somewhere in the 1500-1800 range. Torch's greatest strength is that he can be simultaneously Fireballing an opponent while also running Inferno and Flame Jet each turn for massive damage. He will be rather devastating against other 2** characters, and maybe annoying enough to grant 2** rosters a chance at downing a 3*** transition roster. On the other hand, 2** Torch's fragility is going to be a ugly thorn on 2** rosters, as there is virtually no one that can cover Red and Black for him. Only Thor can cover Red for Torch, leading to a very awkward clash of Red and especially Green. No one can cover Black for torch, as no one has Black as their primary color and the only characters that possess Black as their secondary color are limited by only possessing two powers (Bullseye, Daken). Green, as a tertiary color, is easily covered by Wolv, Thor (in higher battle priority), and Ares. Still, the likelihood of fragile 2** Torch tanking two colors is going to chew through health packs fast.

Well, he's the only 2* in the game with a non-passive black power that isn't alarmingly terrible, so he'll help 2* teams to have AP dumps for all six colors. As a bonus, his black sticks around after he dies, which makes him a bit more threatening on defense, much like Doctor Doom. Speaking of defense, his red is cheap enough that it has a reasonably high chance of going off before he dies. (So does his green, but the AI has no clue how to use it.) I think he'll be fairly good. Depending on what his numbers look like at max level, he might even be a competitive with Thor and Ares as a 2* bruiser, although I personally doubt that, given that he has lower health and is much less dangerous than Ares on defense.
