Anybody care to speculate who the top 3 3-stars will be in the Holiday Rankings?
I'll start, I reckon:
1st Dr Strange,
2nd IM40,
3rd Iron Fist

    Iron Man 40 still wins it for me. Strange is great but IM40 accelerates the powers of so many characters in this game that he cant be anything other than number 1 for me.

    1st IM40
    2nd Dr Strange
    3rd Iron Fist

    #1 will undoubtedly be IM40. I would guess Fist and Switch as #2 and #3.

    Until you have Strang3 at 5/3/5 (and many people still don't) it's hard to understand how fast he can obliterate goons.

    The IM40 update was amazing. Consider where he used to be, ranked, an incredible improvement.

    He's definitely the top, with Strange/Fist/KK as the mix for the next 3 (no particular order).

    I saw how good Strange would be and actually spent CP to get the last few covers. One of two characters I have done that for (Peggy being the other, just one cover there). Both were 100% worth it.

    My guess is

    1.IM40
    2.IF
    3.SW

    3Strange is good, but I don't think he is good enough outside goon nodes in PvE to be in the top three. His lifepoint is on the low side makes him a bullseye on your back in PvP. His purple is not really that useful for its cost (may be good as TU for making purple ap). He is definitely among the top10 in my opinion though.

    New characters tend to have higher variance due to different cover distribution. I'm going to guess Strang3 is #6 as that character has a lot of 10s but a lot of 8s lowering the rankings. As for the top 3, if you take out strang3 it should clearly be im40, switch and fist.

    Yes, I agree, I saw that after I posted. Looks like just about everyone agrees with IM40 for #1, with SWitch & Iron Fist for the silver & bronze. We'll see soon enough! icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm sure Strange will move up but those three are Champions

    I actually think of KK and Switch as fairly equivalent. Depends on whether you want to generate purple or green. My thing on KK is she's more flexible and can be useful in three roles: healing, ap generation, and damage. Switch has ap generation great damage with stun, but it's random, which I'm not a big fan of. I give KK the edge for versatility.

    And the result was... IM40, Iron Fist, SWitch in that order.
