Dr. Doom's is awesome because the trap tiles prevent the enemy strike tiles from being made. And there's always Dr. Octopus (completing the trifecta of doctors with Hulk) who crushes with his board manipulation. Both Ant Man, and Elektra with him too. I think I've figured out a couple other combos as well, but can't remember off the top of my head. His healing is so insane though, in combination with him tanking 3 colors I routinely reach 500 points in a versus foray without using health packs and having 2-4 teammates around 10 min healing timers.

Vhailorx wrote: Still a great guide dauthi, with some solid improvements. I still think you are a bit high on blade, a bit low on cage, and way to high on she-hulk (who I find no more intimidating than cage). Also don't understand why there is such a large gap between daken and patch.

Cage can tank and give bullseye free targets every turn for bullseye's dagger. Captain Marvel is also a fun pairing as her Black gives the enemy a weak Strike tile to pop with Bullseye. Just add someone with a nice Blue and Yellow like Beast or CMags.

Currently Magneto's blue power is over the top, and his red is decently offensive, while his yellow is good at shutting the board down. He went from OK to OMG. Mentioning She Hulk... with her new ability to vaporize enemy AP she has gone from useless to arguably unfair.
arm fall off boy wrote: The mention of traditional characters like thor and steve rogers is interesting. They are 3 star characters whereby the stars blink or sparkle - like they do for mohawk storm and daken. That being the case one would expect a blinking 3 star character SHOULD be better than a normal 3 star character. I would say Thor and Steve Rogers fit the bill as high powered characters, but Storm and Daken fall short of being clearly superior to other 3 star characters ( I have them all pinned). Thor is good in that his powers are strong and feed eachother and his health points are high. Steve Rogers is good in that his health is high, his Red and Blue powers can virtually regenerate themselves as well as destroy countdown / enemy shield / enemy attack tiles ( despite his yellow being dubious ). Storm and Daken merely run with the standard 3 star pack.

Quebbster wrote: Magneto was only OK before he got changed? As I recall he used to be more powerful but was lucky enough to not become underpowered when he got changed unlike some others I can mention... (I liked She-Hulk before the change too, but her new incarnation is miles better.)
Quebbster wrote: The stars blink to signify that it's a "Gold character", which mostly means they took an existing 2* character (or 1* in the case of Storm) and remade it as a 3*. It has nothing to do with power levels, even though Thor and Steve happen to be among the more effective 3*. I think you may be selling Daken short too, he's very useful when you want to avoid burning through health packs.
