    Glad we have Blob, not glad we have dad bod Blob.   Can we get classic Blob look sometime?

    What's next?  Dad bod Cyclops and dad bod Namor?   

    I'm sure this will be the cover they'll use


     Are you saying he isn't in good shape anymore? I guess I missed it when Blob was Slimmer of the week at Weight Watchers?
    Yes, he underwent Weight Watchers circa 2010 i believe when new writers decided to make him a good guy for a while then another set of newer writers made him bad again lol

    The animation and sound for converting special tiles are funny.  :D 

    His green animation is similar to 1* Juggernaut's green. 

    It looks like there's no cap for his match damage increase. I got to 420 before all of them got steamrolled.

    Yeah, I slow played it to 480%.
    That could pile up really fast against Polaris/Grocket teams.

    He was a huge tank in 4* land if I hadn’t brought a stunner I’d still be playing trying to KO him . Not bringing tile makers against him anymore.

    I took Kitty, Polaris, and Wolverine against him in the introducing event, I figured I could take him out quickly. While I won, Kitty died horribly to Magneto deleting TU from the board. Blob was annoying to play against so they achieved that goal anyways. I would have had an easier time if I had been able to bring Karnak and Chavez instead.

    I misread his yellow and I thought blob only reduces damage if jumps in front like odin. 
    The truth is that at level 5 he always reduces 90% of match damage. 
    He can be slow but he is a remarkably good character for 4* land and he is really tough to win just on match damage attacks.
    Kudos to the designing team!

    Blob is good, but for some reason I don't like him as much as I thought I would. Maybe it's my play style. On the plus side, he will save on health packs. I'm definitely going to champ him, but I might not use him much. I reserve the right to change my mind in the future, though.

    Blob, Carnage, and Apocalypse is insanely fun. I need a way to guarantee yellow at the start of the match. I wish they would take affiliations off the supports.

    Better than Hydra Stomper for sure.

    Ran through the roster a bit ago, and I think I might have found his best partner.
    Misty Night and any other strike tile generator.
    Misty can make 6 attack tiles in any row. 6 tiles turns out to be pretty good damage on him, at level 300 it's 1343 per tile for Misty's 6 blue ap with a chance to fortify the tiles. .


    What of 3star Storm?

    Storm can create 32 attack tiles with 9 ap, whereas it's only 6 for 6 with Misty. Put C4rol in and your attack tiles will be pretty crazy for the next 2-3 turns.

    Electro's yellow creates a strike tile at the bottom so I guess she could help him (and of course he counters her yellow as well)

    There is a rumor he feeds Mr. Sinister. Can anyone confirm?

    It’s pretty clear he is probably the best 4* tank and I don’t think it’s even close. Paired with the right 2 he’s going to snowball very quickly.

    I think 4* Juggs might disagree.

    Juggernaut is great in the hands of the player. On defense I often ignore him or exploit his AoE using BRB blue. Blob’s jump-to-the-front mechanic along with match damage reduction sets him apart on defense, even before eating SAP tiles. I’m not looking forward to meeting champed varieties in the wild.

    I saw that about him feeding Sinister. It should be true.

    It would seem the best counters to Blob at the moment are spiderverse teams (O'Hara, Miles, Gwen, even Silk to a degree) because web tiles can't be converted by him and can clutter the bottom rows. Karnak + Chavez I guess can work, but they don't have stuns you could use in a pinch.

    Maybe not that relevant, but Electro counters Jugg nicely (she negates his AOE damage passively with her yellow). Blob on the other hand counters Electro somewhat (she can't use the active portion of her yellow as that places a strike at the bottom row and you know Blob just eats those). She can still use her other skills of course but her yellow is pretty much negated by him.
    Just my 2 cents on the matter  :D

    That's a nice counter. If you're using Blob, chances are you'll be hunting Polaris + BRB/R4G.

    If I see Blob, I will use stun on him. Polaris + 4 blue ap will do the job, but it's expensive. +2 blue ap is fine. 

    Thinking defensively, I would put Blob with someone who can bring him out of stun mode quickly. Invisibility or Airborne mode will override his stunned mode. I'll throw someone in with cheap stuns as another deterrent. 

    My theoretical Blob's defensive team would be: Blob + "anti-stun" + stun/heal/ap gain/row destroyer

    Anti-stun: Invisible Woman, Throg, Heimdall, Agent Venom.

    Multi-Stun: Spider-Gwen, Mantis (potential) Gamora, Black Cat, Jubilee, Peggy Carter, Taskmaster

    AP gain: Medusa, Vulture, C4rol, Black Cat,

    Row destroyer: Hellcat
