That and they're all on the same color so they end up getting matched away a lot. Falcon/Cmags/Storm (Blade when he gets out of control) are the only ones who I would consider flooding the board. *I guess you could add Professor X to the list, he's pretty annoying with Devil Dino
Phaserhawk wrote: If you run 5 blue you pigeon hole him into only a counter to C.Mags, Storm, Falcon. The only problem I have with this is you have to wait for their skills to go off to use it, that's what I don't like. Sure you can almost 1 shot 4hor if Storm uses Hailstorm and you follow up with Doc Ock, but here's to your arguement. Short of the Simulator or Gauntlet, when do you go against Storm or Falcon. Magneto does have his brotherhood PvE so you may use him there, but there are 5 characters I can think of that liter the board with special tiles following their skill. C.Mags Storm Falcon Iron Man 1* Gamora Most of the time you will see Daken and Bullseye and 5 blue is going to be a waste, you are better served matching those away and getting strike tiles. If you opt 5/4/4 I can get that as you are saying you value blue more than anything but like I said before DO is a 4/4/4 build with only 1 optional. The only other not 4/4/4 build I could argue for is 3/5/5 but with so many characters firing out defensive tiles nowadays I don't know

Doc Ock has absolutely been my MVP against these Ultron sentries. I regret switching from 4/4/5 to 3/5/5 when a black cover came up recently in the daily... I'm going to switch back to 4/4/5 ASAP so he can grab protect tiles too.

orbitalint wrote: Sorry if I'm late to the topic but is there a reason why docs black doesn't fire off when you match a trap tile? How is that not considered an "enemy special tile?" If it isn't coded as such, could we just get the list explicitly stated of what it'll proc for? Just played against doctor doom, matched a people with his trap on it (i know because of the diabolical plot notification whenever you do) and nothing happened. I almost asked about web tiles too but they aren't technically "enemy" tiles per say since they can be used for either side.

If they stick with Heroics only allowing heroes, Doctor Octopus will never be allowed in a Heroic. (That might change with the multi-character weekly boost.) Green just gets marginal boost going from 3 to 5 covers, so I can't justify it at the expense of one of his other skills.
Dauthi wrote: Here is my 2 cents for those considering his build: I feel there are 2 options for this character, you can either let his specialization (tile removal) shine and go 5/5/3, or you can make his green viable. I say viable because I don't feel like it is that great. If I need a green AOE I will take out Thor, Kamala or even Beast who can do it better. What I don't have is someone who can rip apart tile creators, and he does it incredibly well. Do you want to throw that away for a moderately good green when we have plenty of options already? Yes, I am looking to the Ultron event too. He tears those minons up, and they are the hardest part of that entire event. Pair him up with Squirrel Girl who also specializes against those Ultron minions and you will have easy sailing through that event. Sign me up.

With Carnage's black going off constantly no matter what, it causes a lot of enemy tiles to flood the screen, couple this with Doc matching them and turning them into attack tiles with his black passive and his blue which now has many targets to choose from so you are pretty much guaranteed to get some decent damage. My Ock is only 105 but he is already doing work in the Carnage's essential nodes in Prodigal Sun. I highly recommend giving them a try.
