Does this mean her 4th cover is now pointless? As it was the one that upgraded from Strike/Protect/Attack to all Special tiles. CD tiles and I believe invisible + web tiles.

I wouldn't anyways because every time you buy the 5th cover you roll it from a token right after, but that's not the point. The original post with abilities is missing stats for max level 3, 4 and 5 covers so my question is: Should I buy the 3rd and 4th purple cover? The 5th adds some damage and converts 2 more enemy tiles. Any other suggestions are welcome. She seems to be the best 4* other than HB of course, until we see what and can do.edit: found wiki link max abilitiesMind Over Matter - Cost: 10 Purple AP Max Level 3 - Deals 1808 damage to the enemy team and converts up to 4 random enemy Strike, Protect or Attack tiles to basic tiles.

Quebbster wrote: 5/3/5 seems to be the consensus for best build... But I can't help but wonder if 5/5/3 or 3/5/5 may in fact be better. I know the increase from 3 to 5 blue is considered a low increase, but still... I don't really fear facing a 3 blue Jean in PvP. The blue backlash is just so small that it barely slows me down and I can usually kill off Jean before she fires either offensive power. A 5 blue Jean, on the other hand, can significantly dent my team health and destroy a whole lot of AP, so I can't help but wonder if the offense focused builds are missing something. Ah well. My Jean is currently 3/3/5, so I have a bit left to go before she's optimal anyway.

My Jean is currently 3/3/5, so I have a bit left to go before she's optimal anyway. First off, 3/5/5 no way in hell. Purple is too good and so cheap that you cannot argue anything else but 5 purple. So that only leaves you with 5/5/3 or 5/3/5 because anything with 4 is bad on her. 5 blue is really only good when playing against SW or IF even LThor, but other than that, you are trading a 12AP guaranteed dmg skill for one that may or may not happing, not to mention you give up 1974 AoE on green for an additional 1125 on blue not to mention weaker tiles. If Jean Grey's blue did no dmg it's still amazing, free stun and AP drain is enough, the dmg is bonus, 5/3/5 all the way.

It would be a very good investment. She's still a powerhouse, even considering the current power creep. She's far from being obsolete (and there are many interesting combos with newer characters which make her still relevant).

Not sure yet which colors they will have, but decent chance. Considering he knew/remembered that Jean's was rewarded in Coversquirrel last season.. I think he probably guessed that the next cover won't be another any time soon.. (maybe it'll be a top2 placement reward in PvE, because the last time it was her earlier this month)

(maybe it'll be a top2 placement reward in PvE, because the last time it was her earlier this month) HB as a reward, has been quite rare in PvPs.. It was the 1000pts reward in his introductory PvP, but for some reason, when it was due to be rewarded in subsequent events, it coincided with new characters releases : MPQ 4-Star Rotation and Predictions - Gooble spreadsheet It's been a 1st place reward in June and August, though. It's due to be rewarded as the 1st place reward again, 2 events after Loki's (assuming Ghost Rider doesn't replace Invisible Woman).. so the next 1000 pts reward probably will be his . (The last time it was rewarded in PvE was in Enemy of the States last month.)
