Yes I know overkill ..I said that lol not enough colors spread out but whatever . X-Force & Hulk both have a tendency to destroy special tiles, so I don't think they'd pair well with Blade. Daken & Falcon would work well with him. Human Torch could be awesome with him especially if Blades countdown tiles steal Red or Green from the enemy team. I'm hoping he'll pair well with Patch too since collecting and using purple might convert enough of the remaining purple tiles into attack tiles that using berserker rage won't give the enemy fewer strike tiles. Human Torch would be a poor pair since he destroys the Red tiles that are needed to get Blade's Passive going.

Blade may be a good pal for other characters in PvE and some special PvPs, but he won't be a revolution to the game. So Blade is not a game changer. He is in the Deadpool, Colossus... category. Good characters but not strong enough to be Top Tier.Lady Thor will be.

onimus wrote: His purple seems quite overpriced. 10 AP for a single attack tile? It does get powered up by strike tiles, but I wonder by how much. Unless we're looking at someone with the potential to reach 1000 damage per turn, I don't see how his optimal build wouldn't be 5/3/5. Its saving grace is that it is purple, which is the weakest color in the game right now. But I don't see this ability compelling people to actively farm purple AP, especially at a rate to get off a 10 AP ability with any consistency.
CrookedKnight wrote: Yeah, I'm assuming black will be his best skill, but maybe the AP steal doesn't improve significantly at level 4/5, which would make it not so important to boost. Or maybe the green gets way more likely to proc, or the purple turns into Summon Demons level of attack tile creation. We'll see.

The dev in the Marvel.com article does use the word "steal" when discussing the ability.
CrookedKnight wrote: Wait, what's the difference between stealing and draining? It takes 1 AP from the enemy and gives it to you, whatever term corresponds to that.
Phaserhawk wrote: essentially Blade's black is like Psylockes, It hits you for decent damage then leaves something on the board. In Psylocke's case it's an attack tile and Blades an AP drain. However, since this is the most spammable skill you'll probably want it maxed. I'm guessing Blade will end up being a 5/5/3 prefered buil, but could see 5/4/4 or 5/3/5 depending on how good the green passive is.
