I could spend this HP to buy the 5th cover of purple Jean Grey (to 5/2/3 or to 4/3/3) so it is a big dilemma... (But I really want to use ProfX). What do you think? Thanks Yes, usable at 4/1/3 as a match-5 amplifier. 5th blue would serve you better than a 4th yellow. What level is he at?

My goal is build him 5/3/5 or maybe 4/4/5, I still dont know because I still have not played him, so I still dont know how often I will cast purple, or If I am just going to play him with Widow, IF or Scarlett. If I play him 5/1/3 he NEEDS to be played with those I mentioned I guess. Go with the 5th blue and soft cap at 170 for now, and run him with match-5 makers. You'll be glad you did! Mine is 5/5/2 ... I intend to go 5/5/3 and level to 220 or so. Try for a balanced match-5 booster and crazy tile buffer.

Talahamut wrote: There's always the 4/5/4 balance build too. Lose 2 AP (and a small amt of dmg) on blue, but do maximum tile boosting and still create attack tiles with yellow so he can do damage if left invisible by himself. It's the master-of-none build that still works decently well in all cases. But if you can afford to build two of him? Then yeah... 5xx and 355.
Konman wrote: I recently had a pvp match which included Professor X as one of the opponents. As the last standing opponent, PX placed an invisibility tile in a bottom corner, as usual, and there no chance for me to be able to match it away. However, with 3* Thor on my side, I knew I only had to get enough green, and then bombs away....but not so fast my friends. Even though Call the Storm is an AOE ability, I was still required to have a target to even use the ability. Other characters on my team could use, and whiff with, their single target abilities, like Blade's Nightstalker, but Thor couldn't even use his area of effect ability, even though that's all that can hit PX when he goes all invis on you. I eventually won, thanks in part to a random Doc Oc Manipulate to move the invis out of the corner. It was a very frustrating match, thinking I had the bases covered, only to find at a critical time, that what I was expecting to happen, certainly wasn't about to. Is this an intended situation, or should Thor's Call the Storm been able to hit PX like I was expecting? Thanks!

It depends on how you want to utilise him? paired with GSBW and Scarlet Witch, I heard it's better to have 5/5/0 .. joking aside, it seems the actually hinders the possibility of making match-5 with GSBW's sometimes.. reading through this thread, many people have put forward arguments for each possible builds.. mine is still 4/4/1 .. but i think i want him to be 5/5/3 for my teams.. perhaps have a second one with a different build when i'm in a position to do so sometimes next year 5/3/5 is the one that would make him a bit stronger offensively and more able to fight as the last man standing.. (or sitting..), especially if you bring 3 Team Ups..

Polares wrote: I thought of going 4/4/5 but after you 'taste' 5 in blue you can't go back to another build (the 4AP you get is basic for this build). You have to options, 5/3/5 (5/5/3) or 3/5/5. For the first one you will pair him with GSBW and possibly wanda, and once you get to 11 purple, you have won the macth (it is that good). It is a monster against goons, you destroy 300+ teams really fast. You need to have him underleveled, or 220 (you can't use him when he is boosted) or 170 to be able to use him always. The other one you need to pair him with chars like psylocke, blade, beast or antman with very cheap powers, but he needs to tank as many colors as possibly (so it is not that perfect). Then you just need to get 7 purple and start macthing profx colors. This build seems fun, but ProfX is the 4 with less life, so AoE are extremely dangerous (like KK, JG or iceman are his nemesis). As the game stands now ProfX is not that relevant as he was before, a lot of new 4s are very powerful, and I think his best build, the one that makes him special, is 5/3/5. He is very fast in this build, you can use him in PvE and to climb in PvP (but play the last match with a more powerful team).
