At the beginning of her turn, if one does not exist, she creates a 4-turn Countdown tile that transforms 2 random adjacent basic tiles to Purple.Level Upgrades Level 2: Transforms 3 basic tiles. Level 3: Transforms 4 basic tiles. Level 4: Creates a 3-turn Countdown tile that transforms 4 basic tiles. Level 5: Transforms 5 basic tiles.

Like target an area with 4 tu tiles and the rest get destroyed automatically and possibly matching tu tiles as well. Also she could work well with kingpin with her blue countdowns. Reliable 5k damage for 6 black is pretty good or just let her feed big K some purple which he then can use to generate yellow for some maggia goodness.

I think D3 needs to remove Prof X from the game because he is destroying every other character team up. Compare her to my original Iron Fist, Prox X, and Mystique video I also released to show how overpowered that team was before the nerf, and she makes that team look like pudding. I got 14 purple AP by round 5, and I would've had more if my Prof X wasn't max level.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO47DvUW7QYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m14VbxOFQCA

Phantron wrote: There just aren't a lot of ways to put 5 purple tiles in 8 tiles without creating a match 5. You can simply imagine the ability as 'every 5-7 turns you get a free purple match 5 somewhere on the board' (to account for the tile getting matched or that occasionally it will not be a match 5) and that sure seems pretty overpowered for free. If there was some kind of AP cost to it, or at least a threshold requirement that might make sense. I'm thinking something like 'must hold 8 blue AP' would be about right. 5 (ala Redwing) seems too cheap for an ability like that and 12 is a bit too much (Iron Fist). This would basically force you to either have no blue active ability or hold back your blue ability most of the time to get the passive, and I think that's a barely balanced tradeoff there.

Maybe it is because of my own roster and MMR, maybe it is because I usually stop around 700 points, maybe it is because not that many people have him yet, or maybe it is because he sucks on defense.

It probably also depends on the event. In Identity Theft (for me), it was wall to wall Max Mystique + Professor X from about 100 points onwards. Usually Iron Fist as the 3rd. That's a team that can still steamroll on defense. With enough Blue or Purple, you either get Infiltration or IFoKL - and if either ability causes a match-5, then you're about to enter The Professor's World of Pain. Conversely, I didn't see him show his face once during First Avenger (and he's got a giant moonface that kind of floats towards you - it's hard to miss). Scarlet Witch's passive is a chance at a match-5 every few turns, which suits PX just fine, so I would expect him to show up in her PvP.

As well as how annoying his other passive is. I know you were trying to demo Scarlet Witch, but I think you missed the mark. Regards, Cypr3ss.
