VizMantis said: So I guess the question is, are Yelena or Killmonger likely to be a better third wheel (sounds like maybe Yelena) or likely to form part of a solid replacement team altogether (maybe Killmonger?). So far it sounds like its kind of a toss-up, so I'm inclined to just go for Yelena. As I mentioned, she's got an 8 cover headstart, so I can almost certainly champ her faster than I could Killmonger, leaving me more resources for the next hoard.

Are you naming good partners for Yelena or Killmonger? Or are you suggesting good alternate third wheels for a Thorkoye team?

VizMantis said: How does Killmonger look as compared with Yelena in terms of hoard pulling?For a bit more detail, I broke my hoard a couple weeks ago for iHulk and Apocalypse. I can't hope for much better than baby champ 5*s given my level of play, so once I champed iHulk, I stopped pulling, figuring I'd wait and see if the next 5* after Onslaught was better than Yelena. I'm having a hard time deciding if Killmonger is indeed better, especially since Yelena has an 8 cover head start from my initial pull. Anyone have any advice on the subject?

I'm having a hard time deciding if Killmonger is indeed better, especially since Yelena has an 8 cover head start from my initial pull. Anyone have any advice on the subject? I am in a very similar position to you, my Yelena also with 8 covers (very close shards wise to 9) after I opened my hoard for iH/Apoc, the difference being I will be able to finish Apoc with Shards (just need 325 to finish him), so in my case I can try to finish Yelena, I can wait for KM or I can skip both, and just wait to see who comes next. At this point I have 140 pulls left. I am also a PvE player.KM kit looks decent, even fun, but I dont know if he will be any useful for me. I didnt get Sinister, and I can get KM or Yelena but not both, so no trap trio for me.As some people have already mentioned I think sabre, iH or even Apoc are probably better partners for Thoryoke for PvE than Yelena or KM, so I might skip both, but I am pretty undecided at this point (maybe getting some more Apoc covers would not be a bad idea, but if someone meta defining comes after KM I would like to be able to cover him).

RickOShay said: <snip>Separately, I like that his trap power is purple. I agree it is a top 3 if not top 2 purple power in the 5* tier (ProfX, DD). 10 AP cost is no big deal instead of 9, Boost AP prior to the match if you can afford to. Yelena's purple /can be/ great and I think is underrated, but also admit her traps should have an ally-matched benefit. This power should have been a different color to work well with KM (maybe could have been green instead of her aoe?). <snip>

At this point I have 140 pulls left. I am also a PvE player. Now that you mention it, I failed to include my existing Apocalypse covers into the calculation. I was thinking of this more like a totally new hoard pull, but that's not the case, I'm just trying to finish off Apocalypse (currently at 10 covers, 317 shards). Given that, it would really only make sense to chase Killmonger if he was a top tier charter. Since it sounds like most people think he'll be decent (or maybe good with other 5*s I don't have like Sinister), it seems like my best bet is to just pull for Apocalypse/Yelena/Onslaught and hope I can finish off Yelena in the process (and don't pull too many Onslaught covers).
HoundofShadow said: Another theory I suspect is that Onslaught might get similar "boost" to 5* Prof X: increased rates of making match-5*, like how Prof X has increased rates of making match-4.In the past Onslaught event and PvP, I noticed a higher rate of match-5 which came out of nowhere.

What are you talking about
Kross said: Forgive me if this has been asked, (and forgive if my explanation is poor) but...If one side makes a match 5, and KM locks the crit tile, but there are already 2 color gems surrounding the crit, does the player get a crit match 3, and then the crit tile unlocks and will allow for another crit match?Seems like this could double crit damage.And would KM then generate 10 red AP? and do double his damage?
