I mean, at least he looks cool. He will be right at home next to Talos.
Also, it's a super bummer that this wasn't an opportunity for a 3*/5* dual release, one MCU and one classic comic look, we don't always get characters that are primed for such a release, and Mysterio was an obvious candidate you could see coming years away (since it was painfully obvious he was going to be released to tie into this film way back when the first solid rumors of him being cast for this film started popping up).
It's a bummer to feel like you've been waiting years for a character only to be underwhelmed.
Sounds like a fun obnoxious character even though his yellow is gonna steal some health from an ally. I wonder if the yellow damage counts towards bishop passives going off.
He kinda seems interesting as a battery, but the conversions don't actually generate AP, they only shift what color it is.
The only usefulness I see would be with some Bishop blue shenanigans?
He looks like a fun supporting character to me. I think some interesting teams are much easier to find than talos. But I enjoyed 5* ock before his rework too. I tend to enjoy characters that are designed to annoy even if they are not top tier.
Like ProfX or 3Loki.
Bummer.
Now if enemies and allies could pop his traps like 3* daredevil then he would be much better. But doing something on matched and destroyed traps is better than just matched.
@Brigby
Do we know if enemies can match his traps and damage themselves?
The cyclical build has a lot of potential. Basically, you want to always match his three colors. Obviously, match damage is better there. He's got a nice cyclical AP generation thing going on. Purple is the main power, invisibility and damaging traps. Matching the traps to get the damage makes blue AP. Blue AP passively converts to yellow, with a mild damage component and possible stun. Yellow drops a countdown to make yellow AP gains into purple. So then you match yellow and purple to make purple. Purple makes you invis and drops blue traps. Match blue traps to deal damage, passively make yellow, keep matching yellow and purple to make purple, cycle keeps going. You're encouraged to match all three of his strong colors, and all of them feed back into the same power.
That part is pretty clever, really. But the damage numbers don't jump out as being "worth it." And then there's the general anxiousness about whether the kit will actually cycle. Is the conversion rate for blue->yellow and yellow->purple worthwhile? Are we going to immediately regret the fact that his countdown isn't fortified? (they don't all need to drop fortified tiles, but when they don't, we need to feel like we're getting value out of them)
A lot of the extras feel... like an afterthought? Surely the effect of the countdown going off is meant to thematically target Spidey (this is MCU Mysterio, and that power could target Spidey if he were an ally or if they were opponents, which fits the "friend or foe?" line they've kinda run with in the movie trailers) But it feels like a gimmick that would be neat in 2-3 matches where you fight with, and then against, Mysterio, that would be useless and annoying in 99.99% of the rest of the game. And we don't even appear to be getting any sort of story event where we join forces with (and then fight against) Mysterio, so that 0.01% scenario where it would be neat doesn't even exist. I feel like if they took the "steal health" bit from his yellow, and the damage from his blue, those would be better served by something like "replace 1-2 random red/black/green tiles with random purple/yellow/blue tiles" or something to somehow feed back into the cycle.
I want to like him. And I think he might work out better than he appears on paper. I'm at least optimistic that he'll be fun for players like myself that try out different teams instead of keeping ourselves pressed to the meta-grindstone. But even so, those numbers aren't very inspiring.
also, why is burst health included in some way with a lot of the new releases? enough already.
So I guess all those people claiming that Mysterio is a villain were wrong all along then? He's obviously just misunderstood.
Sure, it’s not terribly viable but what can you do?
I think he will definitely have use with the likes of bishop and vulture etc, but we will have to wait and see how he plays. I think he will be interesting to try and play around with and figure out
