In your situation, the changes are actually beneficial for you because it means you could use any of your 4* to beat other teams with Gambit.Even if you want to use him, you could bring Blade and Gwenpool. Let him generate purple and red and gather black. Throw everyone airborne with Gwenpool and spam her purple I used to use this team with the original 3*Gambit (I had no Gambatt, because it didn’t make sense to make one before I championed the original one). But his black will still block purple and red powers. That’s my only problem with the nerf. Yes the red ap will still trigger the hunger but that’s not a power worth fielding a 5* ap generator for. That depends on the level of your Blade.At 479 he does about 15k every round, plus whatever strikes there are.

HoundofShadow said: 1) A lot of players were complaining about his purple replacing special tiles, rendering some abilities useless. They changed it to replacing the standard special tiles, reduce it to 3 countdown but boosting the overall damage by 43%. Is this a fair change?2) players were complaining that his red dealt too much damage for low ap. They increased the ap by 43% and also reduced the overall damage by 29%.3) this is the biggest complain: free ap every turn. By the players' turn 4, he would have gathered 6 red and 6 purple, and destroyed up to 6 random ap. This change switched it to a repeater tile where he could gain up to 3 red and 3 purple ap on the players' 4th turn. Even if the dev took away his ability to destroy ap, his passive generation will still remain a problem, because it was the real problem for many. So they switched it to a repeater tile. His total ap generation decreased by 50% (12ap down to 6ap). Would it be better if he generated 4 red and 4 purple ap instead? A 33.33 reduction or 5 red or 5 purple on the 4th turn (16.6% reduction)?
OJSP said: Dlanning said: But his black will still block purple and red powers. That’s why we bring Gwenpool: Gambit’s power won’t work when he’s airborne. Her TU won’t work because everyone gets thrown airborne. Colossus’ Fastball Special works.It’s just an idea, you might be surprised. Try it when the change is implemented. Just match green when someone is about to use a power so Blade takes the damage. He can heal later. Gwenpool’s purple will have more utility and can target more tile(s) compared to Gambit’s purple

Just want to give the Gambit time line:
Gambit release:
October 9th 2017
Gambit enters Latest:
October 23rd 2017
Gambit 1st "nerf" which was a buff:
December 13-15 2017
Amazon Digital Day:
December 28th 2017
This day had to be the single biggest day for MPQ to ever make money. Thousands upon Thousands upon Thousands of dollars spent on MPQ that day in a big part for Gambit
Gambit nerf part 2: The death of Gambit
July 26 2018
As I said in my comment on the first page, why should we trust this company with any of our hard earned money when they will pull the trigger and nerf anybody the could. If they would have rebalanced him BEFORE Digital day to this current state or something along this lines, I would bet that no way would have people spent as much as they did for this day. I know I would not have and some that I asked already have agreed as well.

If you sell him, I presume you get as many Marvel Legends tokens as you have covers/champ levels - so that's a 1:1 proposition (although I don't think that was explicitly stated in the initial post). So why do you only get 369k of iso back when it cost somewhere around 554k to champ him?

Plus you got to use him for a while, which isn’t nothing.
Balefire said: @Brigby I picked up Gambit when opening a hoard so have a fair number of extra levels. While it sounds like he has lost a lot of viability, completely selling him off with no way to rebuild him easily to 450 seems like overkill. Please float the idea of allowing to break champ levels for cashing in to the Marvel Legends store while still retaining the fully covered and max level character for PVE 5E node use. Thank you.

This was a great idea that I didn't see addressed. @Brigby is there any way to make this happen so we still have Gambit for pve but still can sell off our excess?
