Next boosted 5s...no Thanos

I was hoping they'd do something besides release order, because more people will benefit if newer characters are boosted in addition to older characters.

It'd be really nice if the boosted list was completely unpredictable, so that nobody could plan it out in advance/optimize their roster for it, but that's probably too much to hope for.

Ah, but the presumed goal of this whole thing isn't to get people to use the **** old characters -- it's to get people to use *literally anybody* other than the same tired, boring, 4-5 playable guys.

If a lvl550+ Iceman makes people bench Okoye for a week he's doing his job.

You don’t think level 550 Iceman’s best partner isn’t still Okoye though?

It'd probably work but I don't think it's the best.  She'd boost his green repeater damage but he's going to tank yellow (unless you very carefully underlevel him to avoid this situation, somebody get the spreadsheet guys on it stat!), and he doesn't have another damage move for her to boost.

Ic5man and Pr5fX had a bug when taking multi hit attacks. The whole "reduce damage and create yellow countdown" of bobbys was bugged and would not lose you TUP AP. But still get the reduced damage effect. See my post from some months ago on the bugs part of the forum.  

He works very well with prof5x outside of the bug too. Match a few blues to get some stun countdowns on the board, use profx to change the colours with his pink pink, or use his pink on blue to destroy a row with stun tiles in.  

Both okoye and apoc can boost his green ability damage.  

Potentially he can work well with D5ken too. Do a few black matches and you make d5ken repeaters. I believe they work based off of friendly "special" tiles, of which countdowns and repeaters and the blue stun ties count towards the number. So just keep stunning the enemies and every 2-3 turns you'll do a chunk of free damage.

Obvious wanda synnergy too. Use her pink for either blue tile generation or for green tile (and then ap) generation and to boost the green damage. Atleast I hope the greens get boosted. Not certain if they do.

Well it is now apparent that the old 5s cannot hack it unless you had them mega levelled. BB and Strange are boosted to above 460 and facing 450 enemies and they are not winning anything. Sad. 😑

These two guys are just meant for a meta that no longer exists.  Strange punishes guys who cast powers, specifically cheap powers, but none of the meta characters actually cast anything anymore. 

Bolt is meant to burn you down while you build up AP to cast stuff, but...nobody casts stuff now.

Iceman should be more useful?

@DAZ0273 do you have any of the newer big match damagers you can run with Bolt? I'm still curious if your Colossi or Yellowjackets like having charge tile generators around for big damage.
