She's 5/5/2, but she is pulling a lot less weight than my 2* Thor. I know she needs the 5 green to be at her best, but the green covers just never came. Once we get to the 4*s where I have only 1 or 2 covers, this will get really ugly. I'd say that she is somewhat useful now. She now has a lot of HP so that's at least that. Her blue being that cheap and lying down a nice protect tile every time is also good. Her blue can be used to "freeze" CD's/strike/protect/attack tiles which is incredibly useful for PVE and is fairly rare. Yellow is... it is what it is. It's much cheaper now and it might give you win sometimes when IW is the only one left. Green has nice damage now but I don't like how it interacts with her blue. If you blow up bubbles and there's a special tile under it, it will reactivate unless you down that character. Feels silly to me.

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, that trio just seems terrible, but then again, Im not familiar with them at all. It's a badly designed node, easily the worst 'loaner' PvE node I've ever seen. In almost every PvE I've played, the loaners have rainbow coverage and reasonably complimentary powers. This node is a mess. No black nor purple coverage at all, everyone has a yellow, and there's no synergy whatsoever between the characters (Vision in particular seems to have a really bad power set, and I have no desire to add him to my roster). I almost wiped on it this morning. That's unheard of for the loaner node. Thor yellow into his green for damage, I guess. But if you get a purple+black+blue heavy board.. retreat. No harm done. It's not worth the time. They're just loaners.

This would seem impossible once community scaling kicks in. N.B. For those without 2* Daken: the current thinking is that the 2* cover in each event will be the essential 2* in the next, so hold on to that cover (if the 2* & 4* essential pattern isn't putting you off PvE altogether).

I was expecting Colossus to not be as prized, even when considering that he hasn't been as common a reward as other characters. (Yes, there is the Vision progression cover, but even casual playing would get that before the Vision PVP starts)

This theory did not hold up. 2* essential for Hulk is Wolverine
