ThaRoadWarrior said: The killer Lockjaw team going right now is the Royal Family node on whatever story that is: Medusa/Lockjaw/Bolt. If you look at Lockjaw's design, he really isn't there to be a meat shield, he's there to accelerate The Silent King into doing passive damage, and to be annoying whenever Medusa's attack tiles get matched. Anything he does on blue is incidental, but probably contributes to the opponent's general sense of powerlessness in the face of that Inhuman onslought. Of course, if you have a 2/1/0 Bolt like I do, you are forced to get creative lol.Some creative things he can do:Chavez/Lockjaw/Wiccan - Chavez loves AP, Wiccan is Black Bolt Jr, so you use the charged tiles as an AP factory to accrue AP till Wiccan becomes the Demiurge, then enjoy the comedy of row and line clears that ensue (assuming he tanks anything) while Chavez performs all her greatest comedy hits.

There's been next to no malice in this thread, so don't let my jokes about Brigby/Ducky closing it worry you (unless they did in fact ask you to). I've seen a few threads closed since joining the forums and the 2 criteria that I've seen are (1) abusive behavior, and (2) the topic becoming totally off-topic. But, if you still choose to change the title, I vote that our new official beverage be Mr. Pibb (I actually had to google that cause i wasn't sure if i was making that up in my head )Pure Iso Bottleneck, leave the last B for something that starts with "b"....

So finding ways to cross-synergize beyond just rainbow coloration is where i like to try and find weird matchups that are fun. Weird matchups tend to not get played well by the AI, but that's okay I suppose.
ThaRoadWarrior said: Carnage was the easy-choice for pairing with Wiccan if you want to prioritize Chain Lightning, and to that end I moved my BH to him after getting Wiccan to 14 (I've been feeling like I needed a good Carnage for awhile now). But to me, the more interesting benefit of Wiccan is the line clears off demiurge, and all that board shake, which works great for Chavez teams since you're just stacking AP on all colors anyway. My rationale for using Lockjaw is: If you look at the way Black Bolt creates charged tiles, it's an invitation for you to match them and accrue triple AP. It charges the most prevalent color, which, once matched, means it is probably going to charge another color, until you meet the requirements for his green to blast out the whole board. So using Lockjaw's charge tiles, I plan to accelerate my AP accrual which should help both Chavez and Wiccan. I guess I'll let you know if it works...It's also easy to get caught up in the idea of "pairing" when these are actually teams of 3 we're making.
