BoyWonder1914 said: Just champed him this morning. Was hoping to get some good teams here but it seems to mostly just be people hating him, or liking him but being kinda vague on how they can reliably use him. Mordo and Gwen Poole have come up as decent teammates, but I don't have them champed yet unfortunately.
Straycat said: Had him champed but this is the first time I get to try him boosted. I've been going 3/5/5 normally. His red when boosted is still unimpressive at 5 covers, so I think its best to ignore his red, maybe even let it go to Alien Weakness if you collect it.After thinking he was trash, I am starting to like him a little. I think he could be improved if Military Might generated 2 ap for the largest color pool. Makes more sense for powers to accelerate the conditional power change. Red should be cheaper too if its that weak. It is basically a 12 ap power for 7.5k damage. Lower it so the 12 ap in any pool won't always just be extra red ap.
I've enjoyed using my 5/4/2 lvl250 AV in the current event but havent landed on a rock solid team to partner him with. Mostly used Peggy and KK to cover all colours, with AV's cheap black firing KK's passive regularly for 1000 Health each time
Generally used Peggys red over AV's, unless theres an enemy with high health remaining and then I try to meet the 12 AP condition for about 12k damage

Jaedenkaal said: Yeah that's the big problem with Red. When you meet the condition, it's only... fine. And it's pretty lame when you don't. It still does damage, so it's never a total fail, but it doesn't compare very well to even a power like Luke's Red (which is also not amazing); good damage, or amazing damage when the condition is met.

Red should really be better than this with the micromanagement mini game built into AV.
Get some more levels, then.Venom @445 does 26K on red, Peggy at 438 does 23.5K

Obviously, most of us will be using Peggy and getting her blue countdowns out just to have, your own team mate, Venom, smashing them off the board before they can go off is about as annoying as one character can get.
Painmonger said: I've just been running him with Doom & 3Fist, SCL8 5&6 clears with 1 health pack in about 25 minutes. Active powers in every color to keep you below the flip threshold, prioritize black & spam it as much as you can. As much as I was an early detractor, I appreciate him far more now. Only used Peggy once or twice out of habit, but otherwise I was completely happy to let AV do the heavy lifting this week! I have to remember this when AV is boosted next week!

mexus said: I champed this guy yesterday and I can't agree to everyone that think he's a poop.He's good! Not super-good, but more than OK-good. His black is cheap and does nice damage, his red is... well, super-weak considering I have adjusted it to 3 covers ATM and his yellow is nice since it's one of very few AoE attacks that aren't green.His best selling-points, though, has to be his awesome graphical design and his pretty hefty health-pool.
