Is it just for floating or do you do the entire PvP with that team? Do you not have the power boosters/faster characters? Are you using it to avoid hits? Does it work for that? It's not slowColossus 20k+ for 6apAdd in wandas blue which can double it.Wanda can help u get any colour you choose after 3ap(I choose black most of the time) Also colossus match dmg, match 4s 5s and crits big dmg too.Apocalypse/wanda may be faster but colossus /wanda is definitely not slow. How long does it take you to chew through 250-400,000HP of double boosted 5* though? I don't target them.As don't the majority of people that play pvp. It's the minority that have 550s and can run them every match.I have yet to find a baby champed boosted 5 star duo I can't beat though.

What I do know is that the game is much more fun to play, and works much better in general, if you're "friendly" with a very small group of players and *overflowing with burning hatred and contempt* for everyone else. Trying to be "nice" makes for a very frustrating, boring experience.

Fighting against Wanda/Apocalypse/Colossus took me 90 to 110 seconds with + 4 yellow/purple/blue ap boost. Without boost it will probably take me 3 minutes or so. I don't think I buy that they have a "quota" of good 5* per year.What would their incentive be to do things this way? From a profit perspective, wouldn't it be ideal for every new 5* to be usable-to-excellent? Why would they choose to release an underpowered character that nobody spends on?I think it's *far* more likely that they don't understand what makes characters good, or that characters are good or bad by mistake.

I disagree. That’s not how businesses work . Who would release a product and expect customers to buy it knowing they planned on making it obsolete with an upgrade in a few months . We often held back superior products in our research pipeline because we needed to make our money back on the newest released product. We’d flip it with an upgrade once a year or so. At times we were finding research upgrades so fast it would be 3 to 5 years before we could let them be available to mass market
