KGB said: Brigby, can you clarify something about his Purple.When you cast it and he shapeshifts does he shapeshift into the target enemy and steal 'that' enemies strongest color or is it just the enemy teams strongest color? If it's the former then you potentially have 3 target pools to steal from by rotating to the character who's strongest color you want to steal It would make his Purple much more viable as a denier.KGB

Good catch

Vhailorx said: What happens if you multi-cast his purple against different opponents?Overall he seems like a lower middle tier support character at best.Purple is a redux of shapeshift (only 1 color, dependent on enemy team, but more survivable traps.) Would be nice if the trap tiles we're predictable so they would survive longer. Also nice to let the player chase AP theft by targeting matches, but it's still not likely to be a lot of AP theft in most scenarios.Blue is a pretty meh stun (requires 3 matches, has weak self-acceleration if any) and only does 4 turns. There are 2 far better stuns on the same color in just the 4* tier. Black seems weak. It's kinda like America's red, but only for one color. And it's relative to the enemy team. So it will be weak against goons. And it's value might vary a lot depending on how it is implemented. But even maxed out at almost +600%, it will still be pretty weak added damage compared to a good power.Some interesting mechanical ideas, but app tied to effects that are much too weak to justify the complexity. Exactly NOT the sort of character that is useful as the ~80th entry in a secondary tier of play.
HoundofShadow said: @KGB I think you have misread his passive power. The match damage increase applies to all his match damage that he tanks. The enemy's strongest colour is taken into account when you are calculating the match damage increase. To get the maximum damage increase, you need to have 15 more ap in the enemy strongest colour.I think it's unfair to compare his purple with Rogue's green. A fairer comparison would be Kraven or Mystique. Talos's role is to reduce ap in the enemy's strongest colour, which may or may not be useful depending on what your stategy is. He could be irritating to fight against though.

I would imagine so. The only option for me is to BH and hope for the best but I have an appalling rate of BH from heroics and 4*s. I think I will not make it this time for namor. It's also a bit of a shame I keep BH meh 4* to get the shield training goodies instead of just applying levels to useful 4*s. So I think from namor onwards I will change my method and just accept I won't do ST and make sure my BH pulls are on useful 4* until a decent one comes out or Patch comes back.

It's a bit hard to say for sure. The devs follow a LLLCC pattern of 4Es (latest 3). So the current Latest group is Bishop, Prowler, and Namor. Bishop will leave and Magik will rotate in. If she replaces him in the lineup, and if there's a new 4 on 3/28, then yes, Magik will be required for the next Shield Training.
This could be the single worst mistake in the game. The whole point of Talos in the comics was that he COULD NOT shapeshift, so he worked hard on his other skills, making him an offensive machine... in no way a support or passive character.

I guess he wouldn’t fit well with cyclops and Gamora, but surely they should go back to him next time. I’m pretty sure dazzler and nebula were required twice as well, so they can’t mind repeating them
MrEd95 said:Also, as a side note, Namor has only been in the game for 6 weeks. There has only been 1 4* release since he was released, and magik hasn’t even been added to packs yet or been a featured character since her release. Is she going to be the required character for the next shield training? That would be unfair
Malcrof said: Early LifeTalos was born without the common Skrull ability of shapeshifting, however he easily compensated for this by becoming one of the most feared and respected of Skrull warriors within the Empire, this reputation earned Talos the nickname of Talos the Untamed.[2]https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Talos_(Earth-616)[/spolier]This could be the single worst mistake in the game.
