For what it's worth, Killmonger is great. His red power alone can be absolutely devastating depending on the rest of your team.I have him with Profx/Onslaught, and if I get a good match four - the games over. If I don't? get enough red and, then the games over. WIth Cascades, his red has taken down 2 and a half champed 5s in some games. There's a lot of chance, but it's extremely powerful

There's a lot of chance, but it's extremely powerful Killmonger/America/Karnak made a joke of everything in Balance of Power. Personally I feel his red is slightly superior to Jessica's, which itself is a very solid power. It's also generally superior to Thor's, although I'm not sure how it measures up to Havok's.His purple is also a great nuke, on par with Prof's and superior to Loki's.
Vhailorx said:But I must part with you comparing his purple nuke to Prof's. It can't be spammed, costs more ap, is unlikely to do much more damage, and can't get anywhere near to the utility of Prof'x 6-in-1 power.
BlackBoltRocks said: Ok first of all, I have absolutely no idea why I was flagged. I was making a joke about Killmonger's Black power being named "Repatriation", and how DAZ only has Killy's Black covers. People were actually triggered by that? To those who flagged, PM me what your thought process was.Back to the conversation. Yes, Onslaught is generally more useful than Killy, who is more niche. I just like having Killy as an option for a Red/Purple outlet, as my only other Red/Purple is BeardCap. I just wish his Black was more consistent. For example, when the enemy matches a Crit tile, always steal say 3 Red AP and deal a small amount of damage. And lock every Crit tile generated, not just the ones generated by match-5s.

That would be a really fun team for sure. but is it really viable in PVP? Maybe when both 4*s are boosted, but otherwise won't teams like hulkoye or gritty or apoc just burn down the 4*s in a few turns?

Maybe when both 4*s are boosted, but otherwise won't teams like hulkoye or gritty or apoc just burn down the 4*s in a few turns? Yes, it is purely offense. Except when boosted to god tier like in BOP then I was winning as often as losing when I got hit. However it is just amazing on offense and fast. For PVE it is great because health pack usage is low compared to Hulkoye. If you played for wins in PVP it would be viable as well in a pick 3 scenario. For instance, after the AP is built up enough to start firing powers Karnak will do upwards of 70k with the Crits added in. KM red has similar potential. That is two massive nukes on a team that passively drops opponents while you collect AP. Not bad at all.

Absolutely, Karnak hits like a beast, and KM will punish any crit tiles that you happen to leave on the board. But glass cannon does not begin to describe a team with two 12k health 4*s in the current meta. hulkoye will do that much damage on turn 2 if they get a good board. The meta now is near-instant massive damage. So all of the 'very good once they have the ap to get started' teams are pretty out of favor in high-end pvp. I am sure this team is super fun to use farming retals or playing for casual wins.

@fight4thedream - not wishing to be a pain but how are the posts discussing Killmonger on topic either?
Bad said:About onslaught, I use him many times because not having okoye covered and never wasting TU like a true miser, I found that destroying TU tiles actually improves my play.
Omegased said: Bad said:About onslaught, I use him many times because not having okoye covered and never wasting TU like a true miser, I found that destroying TU tiles actually improves my play. Would agree with That for Onslaught - I think he's also quite underrated. the AP gain from removing Team up tiles (and therefore cascades) is fierce. include Profx and depending on the board you can do 15k+ passive damage from 1 match4.
