His purple and yellow enable you to keep those health pack uses to an absolute minimum as it only takes three matches to shield yourself then you can focus on matching web tiles for back up invisibility and use the low cost red to chip at the enemy's health whilst slowing countdown tiles and enemy AP generation. Might be fun to play with but won't know until we get that free to use high cover version.

Considering that using surprise requires almost triple the cost of venom blast with an extra 8 yellow on top to make it hit decently hard, I think VB is the better choice of the two. Even moreso if you've got him hanging out with a strike tile generator.

Even moreso if you've got him hanging out with a strike tile generator. Actually, I think it is more clear that yellow stinks, and you are better off with 5/3/5. First off, it appears that if you destroy webtiles not through a direct match, you do not activate the passive (i.e. make a match 4 and destroy a webtile not in the match 4 and it won't activate the passive). So that right there makes yellow much less useful. Purple can do decent damage and potentially make Miles survive a match as the last character with some luck between his invisibility and stuns.

Pwuz_ wrote: I still find it weird that Hide & Seek toggles with Surprise ignoring the Invisibility tile. How is it a "Surprise" when he's visible? It makes sense that it's a surprise attack worth some serious damage when he's invisible because he's hiding. How does it make sense that he's standing there visable (because his invisibility tile has been destroyed) and is able to surprise anyone?
