RickOShay said: Looking forward to playing him on many different teams. On the 4* level, Medusa seems like an excellent fit. Matching enemy strikes will have multiple benefits. She will be earning AP for your team, and he will be dealing damage with random board destruction. This 3x3 block could destroy Medusa's CD to proc attack tiles on the board. This team could use a yellow-blue-and (maybe) green user, and there are many to choose from (like Lockjaw!! As opposed to teaming up with and Elektra or Patch Wolverine, I'd suggest requesting their team-ups, and boost some TU before you start the battle.In 5* play I think things get trickier. Enemy strike tiles are usually quite strong and/or come with damage or an effect you'd prefer to avoid. Meaning, I don't want to get hit by Jessica's red to see how effective Sabretooth can be. Against Kitty + Grocket it seems like it will be about as risky as things are now already. Sure you will hope to start out with a match which includes an enemy strike tile, and Sabretooth will destroy a good area of the board. Maybe this destroys another strike or two, maybe it leaves them with a dangerous match-4+ against you..Playing Creed's black vs. Gritty seems to risky for the damage you will get out of it (unless Okoye has tons of TU). If we knew what color the enemy strikes would be placed on that would help this decision a lot. You could wait for a match to be available in that specific color and hope for an immediate hit. Overall though, getting that 6 red AP should be quite easy with Thor on your team, so I agree with others this could speed up the process of downing Kitty quickly.

RickOShay said: Looks quite good and fun, and better than many new releases; but I don't see anything meta here. Potentially excellent against teams with 4* Rocket & Groot, but what other teams do you anticipate he will fare well against? Who gets strikes tiles out early against you? Against non-Grocket teams, Sabretooth's passive green does absolutely nothing unless we can play his black, which does little damage upon first cast. Even then, 3 strike tiles will often be placed with no immediate matches available since they are on random color tiles. There's no way we will wait to double-cast his black. Producing enemy strike tiles from a teammate's ability is a drawback (this AP could have gone to a direct damaging ability), instead of hoping to get a matchable-strike.His red, yep this is excellent and inexpensive. This works against any team with good effect (except Kitty with her red cd out, or Bishop as mentioned). Long awaited, and very welcomed, but I don't see the meta consideration (yet!).Oh I meant to add, I think Th4nos may be underrated so far in the anti-Gritty realm. Removing 1 strike per turn (until 3 remain) and adding lots of green can often be amazing so far, and I'm still a few covers away from champing him.
Thanos said: RickOShay said: His black will do 3100 direct damage, not a lot but if just one of those strikes is matchable he'll do another 2400 damage and destroy some tiles. 5500 damage for seven black and possible cascades isn't too shabby for seven black.

He deserved to come out as a 5* way more than Pepper...Glad to finally have this guy in the game, and happy he looks pretty awesome.
ThaRoadWarrior said: Really enjoyed using Sabertooth in the ST loaner node. I hadn't realized that his passive does damage for every strike in the match - that was really cool. Makes him even more susceptible to Bishop, but that's fine. Also Th4nos is definitely a helpful piece of that anti-rocket strategy for sure. I would use him if I had more than 1/1/2...
