The only part I disagree with is near the end when he/she commented that nerfs shouldn't be unconditional, you should always get something in return. Isn't that exactly what they did? The damage improved on surgical strike and on recovery to help compensate for the loss of damage on x-force. A common complaint seems to be that 4*s should be super awesome, because otherwise why bother? I think the answer to that is obvious: because it's fun to collect rare or hard-to-get stuff. Personally, I'm slowing collecting covers for characters like Nick Fury, Elektra, and Star Lord (but not X-force), not because I expect them to be game changers one day, but just because it gives me something to work towards in a game that has no end.
GrumpySmurf1002 wrote: Saw your point in the other thread, I responded there but forgot about the 290 characters, so my best case there isn't quite best case, but close enough. In any case, even if you shift to 70 per tile instead of 42, then you get: Level 4 Green: 1088 + (9x70) = 1718 Level 5 Green: 1360 + (15x70) = 2410 So to respect to 4/5/4, you lose 692 on green (average), gain 760 on yellow + 2k heal back up. Yellow still favored, but certainly a closer gap than before. The side question, however, isn't "how much AP will his green create?" The question is "how much more AP will green generate at 5 rather than 4?" I can't find any of the simulators this second, but my guess is you don't go from 0 generated (at 4 green) to 4 to 5. I'd guess you're talking an extra 1-1.5AP, somewhere in that range. To me, I think the extra heal provides more sustainability, especially if combined with someone like Kamala or Cage. I get your argument, but you haven't really dissuaded me from respec-ing

ShazamFTW wrote: I do think while Green took a pretty sizable hit, the part that I don't see too many people pointing out is the Yellow became really nutter butters at 5 covers. 9k damage for matching 1 yellow tile? If you can't do it in time, you gain 10k hp? And it costs single digits to trigger. There's nothing wrong with that at all. X-Force is just fine. He's not bonkers anymore but he's still great. Mine's leveled to 270, I'm not mad. He'll still get plenty of air time.
Rafaelmsb wrote: My X-Force is 3/5/5 because thats how the covers arrived. With this damage boost on yellow, I may use his yellow like Daredevil's ambush (unless I'm about to die). Now thinking in a team composed by KK, Steve Rogers, X-Force. Black/Yellow (X-Force), Purple/Green (KK) and Blue/Red (Steve)
WolfmanX25 wrote: . Surgical Strike will still be a decent ability. I'd argue that the current SS is the single most powerful ability in the game. On an average board, you dealt over 4000 damage, gained 9 AP, drained up to 10AP from the enemy and you had a high chance of cascades. A single SS basically meant an automatic game-over, assuming you have a use for the collected AP. Note that I'm talking about PvP here, not the overscaled mess of PvE. The new SS loses all the AP generation and drain, but it's now a very solid nuke. Magneto's is a good ability and new SS does more than twice the damage (admittedly for 3 more AP)
