Daredevil217 said: So I finally champed OML with the fan favs vault. I heard he’s uber trash, and what makes matters worse is that being an older 5 and mine only being 450, he barely gets to do the one thing he’s good at (absorbing damage). That said, I had him on two teams I particularly liked. 1. OML/Daredevil/DoomBasically three true healers. While slow, you’ll never need a health pack unless someone is KOed, otherwise, let someone else tank and they’ll heal right back up. Logan only tanks black but it’s the color I chased most due to fueling Doom’s nuke, so he tanked plenty enough. 2. OML/Professor X/KittyChase 8 purple, choose Storm/black for professor’s power so he drops 5 attacks, Logan then passively drops two strikes. And it’s enough to get the Kitty train rolling. Attack Logan and he heals. Attack Professor and he sidesteps 75% damage. Very annoying to face on defense I’d imagine. Again Logan only tanks black here. Also during my final push in anniversary sim I wanted to build around Bishop since I skip him like the plague. Paired him with Professor who is another good defensive character. Wasn’t sure who to use as a third X-Man, so just went with who I felt was the best defensive deterrent in Iceman. Worked out surprisingly well offensively and was a ton of fun. I’m sure it garnered lots of skips. Super shocked how much I used Cyclops/blue for Professor’s power to clear a row full of CDs/repeaters to hit a lengthy stun at a key time. I really like when I get to use powers other than the AOE (Jean/green) and nuke (Wolverine/red). I also bought the 250 CP cover for Ock (Carnage was close enough I probably could have waited but oh well). So am interested in teams he’d play well on.

I wasn’t going to champ him any time soon because he is usually super easy to dispatch due to his very low health pool. Sounds like some fun might be had with the right partners though.Edit: I skipped your ProfX team btw. I was actually interested in giving it a spin but unfortunately it was too risky for 9 points.

ZootSax said: To celebrate Ghost’s boost week, I’ve been cruising through Honor Among Thieves with:4* Ghost (3/5/5 w/Quantum Realm support)4* Black Cat (5/3/5)3* Dr Strange (5/3/5) The goal of the team is to exploit the interaction of Strange’s yellow and Ghost’s Quantum Realm perk to go invisible few free (eventually) and up her boosted red damage from ~7,500 to ~19,000 (for a low Ghost champ—your mileage may vary). Black Cat offers a green outlet, stun and situational AP theft (mostly green, purple or red this event from the goons).Depending on your scaling (I’m running this in SCL7) Black Cat could be subbed for someone who protects Strange more when Ghost goes invisible, but ideally they should have a black, green or yellow outlet, as otherwise those colors are wasted.

I've been trying lvl 367 3/5/5 MEH, lvl 284 4/5/4 Juggernaut and lvl 287 3/5/5 Ronin against Gritty teams and other 5* teams that are usually beatable with 4*s and I haven't won any matches yet, even with AP boosts. I fail to see the synergy.Perhaps the levels make a difference there or the one who beat me repeatedly last season was using TUs or something weird was going on. Perhaps someone else would like to try this team against Gritty Bishop? (Warning: they might not work and you will waste health packs)

Daredevil217 said: An alliance mate mentioned how it’s a shame Goblin and Iceman are in different stores since they pair so well together. Apparently I also missed this in his character thread. But man that is a crazy fun combo. I very often had Goblin fortify 3 blue CD tiles for a 6 turn stun and after matching had enough AP for Bobby to cast his blue two more times. It’s crazy crazy good with no active overlap! I love finding out combos that play way better than the sum of their parts and have such good synergy like Gambit/Storm, Doom/Loki, Iceman/Goblin because I’m so bored of Thorkoye that I try to only play them when I really have to (5* essential, quick push in PVP). As an aside, I think Daredevil is my most played second option on my roster. He has synergy and just works well with so many people. In pick-2, I have often paired him with: Doom, Cable, Iceman, Jessica, Thanos, Kingpin, Kitty, Black Suit, Okoye, Strange and Ock. Weirdly never tried Thor (though I’ve seen that combo a lot in PVP).
