Daiches said: Reads posts. Reads them again. Sees no mention of 99% of all teams being Thanos/Panther. Hmmmm. Guess there are different meta for different players. Guess that's MMR for you. Wonder if there are 3star players complaining somewhere about CageFist or 2star players about MagStorm or Daken/Wolverine.

Do you just use cage yellow to smash through medusa's healing? Firstly, my team is fully rainbow so I can avoid matching yellow while Carol still up. I use everything else, especially Hobo's blue. I especially deny red, so that Bl4de's passive can't proc. If I can get either Hobo's black or C4ge's red going, Hobo's green is more of a shot of opportunity. Medusa will be the first to down.It usually is an OHK. Then Carol must go. Once Carol is down, Bl4de usually presents no problem. Care must be given in playing, especially when the board is full of red. But I've been quite successful in shutting down Cardusa in Sims thus far with the team of C4ge+Hobo+Medusa.

But do people really think 4* gamora will be a meta character? Her red is tinykitty and her black passive is unreliable at best. Are her stun and purple special tile generation good enough to earn her a spot in the meta? Her power set is very similar to Nova just in a different color set. She may not open a new meta like Carol or 4Groot, but she definitely has a place special tiles expert department, imo. An interesting comparison. I absolutely love nova, and have since i first read his details pre-release. 3 powers that cost 8 or less, all make strong strike tiles, plus a mix of direct damage and enemy disablement (quasi-stun). Gamora's stun definitely has similar value to nova red. But i don't know about her other two powers. Her red is worse than anything nova has. And her black is. . .i dunno. It's pricer than any of nova's powers, but not by much. It makes a lot of pretty strong tiles, but does no direct damage (and it has the hard-to-value-passive). Huh, i will have to think about it some more, but maybe i need to adjust my expectations for her up a bit.

Astralgazer said: @Vhailorx @mohio Ups. My bad. I rarely see Carnage+Medusa during my climb to 2000. On the contrary, I see Carol+Medusa everywhere. So, I just assumed that Cardusa is Carol+Medusa. In fact, after I started using Hobo+C4ge, I haven't had a chance to fight any Carnage+Medusa duo. I will update when I can.
