Bubba3210 said: I’d like both but the system is broken. 4/5/4/5 is not good for anyone and will drive away more players. I have several in my alliance with one or zero covers on one or more of the latest releases. It’s not from a lack of trying either as we all hoarded until apocalypse arrived. 67 pulls netted one Apocalypse for me.I’m seriously considering ending my ride on the merry go round. Day 1739 and it’s getting harder instead of easier.

Onslaught is the opposite. He’s a “bully” character that when paired with Professor can punch down and dispose of weak teams super fast with the match-4 board shake combo. But as a match drags on and the teamups dry up, Onslaught gets less effective. His invisibility seems easy to disarm (and still prone to Hulks passive AOE ironically) and his blue relies on enemy specials to do low damage (hi, Kingpin). On Line, people are calling him “nonslaught” (ha), and while a bit harsh, I could see him being good/fun, but “just another 5” that no one plays after a month because his mechanics aren’t better than what we have.
Finally, with the exception of smashing weaker teams with Professor, Onslaught is a slower “thinking man’s character”, whereas Hulk is almost autoplay. With Onslaught you have to think about what row/column to convert, what color it’ll be, and where you’ll get the best ROI. Also have to consider whether you want to protect your invisibility, and make matches to protect your traps, or go for the attack tiles by chasing them.
HoundofShadow said: Has it been confirmed that Onslaught can be paired with Prof X? If it's possible, think they can make a good scarecrow in PvP defensive-wise. An additional of ~20k damage on the first match-4 can't be taken lightly. Every time I fight against 5* Prof X, I'm always prepared to eat at least three Signal Boosts. The con of those cascades is that your opponent might benefit from a potential match-4 or match-5 the following turn. So, I find that Carbage can somewhat be used as a safety net to counter this and he can also produce special tiles for enemies. Overall, Onslaught's powers are too situational, compared to iHulk, whom you can use reliably. Hopefully, there will be better 4* or 5* in the future that can complement Onslaught better.
