I doubt the second happens and it will be a ling time before the first happens. As such, no point in considering him "worth the ISO" now that lr are no linger villian based. At least befor he was a nice damage sponge in the lr.

Hood could be considered better, but he's more difficult to work into a team.

I'm considering leveling him as my 3rd 141 (after Hulk/Punisher), but am not sure if the iso is better spent elsewhere.

I seem to recall the quote was something more like "yes, we know that espionage currently works with strike tiles, so you're double-dipping", but I don't remember seeing anything definitive about whether this was a bug or not. I tried digging up the quote to look at it again, but phpbb's search function is horrible so all I found is this quote from Veracity: Veracity wrote: Did look for developer comment on it, but all I could find was IceIX talking about her pre-Espionage and confirming Espionage is supposed to trigger strike tiles. which is how I read it too.

I don't have a high leveled Hood, I only know that he's probably the most annoying defensive character right now next to Hulk, and they probably work very well together. You couldn't pay me enough bonus ISO not to skip a team with a maxed Hulk+Hood on it. That team kills slowly, though, and I think you need someone who can benefit from at least 3 colors of AP sinking. Patch doesn't work because he gives your opponent a way out from the lock. Hood+Hulk+Punisher/IM40/Magneto would be a good team that you could use in both types of LRs and would net you tons of skips, plus some random defensive wins. mischiefmaker wrote: Celerity wrote: D3 has already stated that Espionage is not working as intended (with strike tiles) I keep seeing people saying this.

Whether they actually want to change her or not, I don't know.

Hood/IM40/Hulk sounds horribly slow, but Punisher (cheap casts fueled by Hood plus the OHKO from Retribution) might not be terrible, although he might make it hard to use Hood's yellow due to all the special tiles. Magneto seems like a nice pairing too -- super cheap casting costs and huge damage output. Definitely need to get myself a couple more Hood blues (currently only at 3) and take him out for a spin.

Mid tier at best. He's usable, but shouldn't be anywhere near Hulk.
