I'd put hm at upper mid-tier, he's not going to unseat Thor unfortunately. That is unfortunate. Could you describe more about why his blue can be near useless at times? I was hoping that if you time it right, you will get an immediate enemy stun on that turn, then more potentially as you try to get other green matches (including the charged tiles). Also, if you need to match yellow, his CD should often get fortified. And about Thor, I think it will be a long time before he is unseated by anyone, so that's probably not a fair hope (not that is what you were expecting, just needs to be stated for others reading this). @Thanos
Thanos said:Also, I'm aware Thor will probably never be unseated unless they make a very deliberate and specific counter to him.
Jaedenkaal said: Blue seems like it could be fun when combined with tile-swapping powers (Coulson probably the best here) or green tile generators, so as to obtain green matches without giving up the turn.
RickOShay said: With just a 3-turn CD you are missing out on a 2nd opportunity for a stun, which I get very often with the 5-turn CD at cover level 5. Even at 4/5/4 a 2nd stun opportunity happens quite often, but at 3/5/5 I've almost never been able to do it. Sure I'd like the level 5 strike tiles, but getting another stun on half dead Thor is very handy, for example.
HoundofShadow said: I thought Starlord would pair up nicely with Cable. Sequence of powers:1. Cable's blue2. Starlord's yellow to convert 5 basic tiles in enemy's strongest colour to green charged tiles. If you time it right, you will stun whomever you want to be stunned, unless their strongest colour is green.3. Starlord's green. It doesn't destroy friendly created charged tiles, so all your green charged tiles will fall to the bottom or even cascades off each other. That could create another free stun and 5 charged green tiles.4. Cable's green to down non-stunned character, or maybe Starlord's green.Gambit can be used to round things off as a rainbow team. Use his red to destroy both green charged tiles for an extra 4 green aps if necessary.
