Mostly it's been charge-tile focused, so a lot of permutations on Negasonic and Throg, but so far none of those have really stuck. One interesting quirk I was able to discover was this one:Heimdall: 4/5/4 (didn't mess with it, that's just where I keep him)Gambit: 5/5/3 (the repeater takes too long, rather prioritize the damage)Vulture: 5/4/4 (might have been a better build, this is just where I keep him for Sinister 6 to do the maximum special tile break)The reason this is even sort of interesting is that once you throw Gambit in the air, his purple/red restriction gets lifted, so you can then do a big swipe with Heimdall, who is generally going to tank everything, and can true heal off of Vulture's antics while also reducing costs willy nilly from all that blue you're raking in. I don't think you'll beat a hulk team with this one, but it's approaching interesting at least. The only other character I can think of who could pinpoint throw a single ally out of the match is Danver5, and I'd REALLY like to figure out some way to take 2 nerf death 5*s and concoct some sort of gimmick from them, but dang if I can figure out which 3rd would care at all about that combo.

Won all 3 fairly easily, only using 1 health pack across the 3 matches.I do love the interaction between Morbius and Entanglement. I match an Entanglement tile, Medusa puts 2 attack tiles on the board, Morbius immediately takes them off the board without triggering anything because it's "remove" instead of "destroy", and then dishes out a little punishment for doing so. Add in Hawkeye giving some free blue and purple AP and that's just win all the way around.

In my opinion, Mantis' most fun partner is Morbius.Got a friendly special tile in a matchable state? Use Mantis' to give it to the enemy team, heal your lowest health person a bit AND when you match it you trigger Morbius' damage passive, 3 other special tile removal and all that good stuff. And it also makes the 1 turn random pink stun tile that makes mantis function.As a third, put in C4rnage. So you almost always have enemy specials to try and match. And when you get enough green AP you can either blow up the board for a bunch of cascades and related damage and passives, or put a mantis stun repeater tile down.
