In order to make her more effective, her powers need to be revamped. 1) Fix her Black Power by making it not go off unless >400 dmg is dealt to her. 2) Fix her Pink Power by increasing the tile improvement by at least 100 more, at all dots. 3) Fix her Red power to "if matched, do 3000dmg" (as Elektra steps out of the shadows, yada yada) Finally, what she really needs is to be better utilized by the AI. No one, and I mean no one (except me) uses her in PvP. Why? Because she sucks!!! -Because her powers suck, see above -Because the AI can't play her correctly You can't just have the AI throw her trap tiles down willy-nilly, or burn through her pink. Some extremely helpful changes would be: 1) AI Elektra won't use her black power if there are less than 2 (or 3) black tiles on the board, or if the only three tiles available can be immediately matched. -I never put her black tiles down under these conditions. 2) AI Elektra won't use her pink power if there are no sword tiles on the board and she has less than 14 pink AP. -I never put sword tiles down that just benefit the enemy team unless I can immediately convert them. Why leave them on the board for 8 turns waiting to be matched? Pointless 3) AI Elektra won't use her red power ever (somewhat kidding, but seriously, its about the weakest red power in the game, and I only use it when I have no other heroes who have a red power)

I was debating between 5/5/3 and 5/3/5 but after reading about her abilities now I'm thinking 3/5/5 might make the most sense. You only get the full benefit from 5 purple if you have a trap tile out. Unfortunately, her red ability with only 3 covers is so bad that you're never going to use it. This means that you'll only get the full benefit of Elektra's purple if you pair her with another trap user like Fury, Antman, or Dare Devil. Assuming you don't have a trap tile out the only difference between 3P and 5P is the first steals/buffs two strike tiles by about 145 and the latter steals/buffs them by 245. An extra 200 damage in strike tiles hardly seems like a reason to **** her black or red abilities. To me this makes it seem like if you want Elektra with 5 purple the only proper build is 5/3/5. But her black is about the only thing that makes her unique and it seems like you'd want to max it. Which leads me to 3/5/5. Her red with 5 covers isn't too shabby even though the trap can be overwritten. Thoughts?

If it was split up into 3 traps, or did damage when the traps were matched or cost 6 or 7 AP it would be a very solid red ability.

After all, a bad dance partner deserves DEATH! if an enemy matches Elektra's trap tile shes kicks you in the nads dealing fatal damage to all male characters except for Vision, Carnage and Thing because as far as we know they don't have nads to kick. Colossus and Iron Man are also immune because they have the protection of metal. ....If you match the tile she stabs the enemy in the foot with her sai did I buff it?

Bring out elektras black ASAP, and just keep on churning out black and trying to bring out Elektra red. iron fist green strike tiles help in the damage but keep elektra up front, so she can use her trap tiles and keep on churning out more trap tiles that is where scarlet witch purple maker power comes in which feeds into Iron Fist black maker power. Defeated 200 to 300 lvl Hulbuster combos with Elelktra with ease, also when Hulk buster comes out with strikes tiles, steal them. with elektra purple. she dont suck I rate her like 8 out of ten. ten being the best.
