      It's tiresome whenever people rehash this "joke".
      It's more tiresome whenever people feel the need to put down someone's comment (which may not have even been a joke, btw) rather than just move along.

      Use Shang-Chi with the sound on at least once. It is delightful.
      Don't people think you're weird when they hear loud martial arts noises coming out of the bathroom stall you're in?

      I will try to remember to try out that someday. 
      If I played my 2 mobile games with music and sound I would think I was playing 2 brand new games for sure.

      I threw in for a 10-pack because I had the HP for it, got all 2*s, feeling pretty good about my life choices right now lol.

      I pulled 2x40s and 1x10 and whatever 1x tokens I have earned.  

      Wheel eludes me still.  :(

      The odds of pulling a five-star in those stores are horrible.

      It seems you can go two distinct routes with BW. Either you pair him with a tank and someone to feed his points or you create a glass cannon. In the glass cannon you have a character like shang chi who's a hybrid damage and board shaker who you can also add in some sort of damage booster character like Chavez. 

      The other way to do this is a glass cannon with two characters focused solely on feeding BW. If you can produce 8-10 speed points a turn for a few turns it'll be an easy win. This doesn't even take into account if you have his accomplices providing some sort shielding or healing allowing you to even outlast stronger defensive teams.

      He's really good.  It's a lot easier to rack up speed points than I thought it would be, even without Shang-Chi doing his thing.  *With* Shang-Chi doing his thing, it's crazy.

      I'm not sure I'd swap him in for either guy in Spin Cycle, but there is a very strong team that's Shang-Chi/Big Wheel/... somebody.  I don't know who the somebody is yet!

      I got things going pretty fast with Valk. Once you make a red match, Shang and Big Wheel both start getting points quickly.
      I was less impressed by 5witch. Quake was okayish, but not dropping points on SC was not too easy.
      Sersi may have a spot here, but I do not have enough powers to even test it out.

      I think the intended third is Sersi though Onslaught and Sighclops should do well too. There are probably others.

      You know what. I logged into my Alt account to do pvp yesterday and saw I had enough CP for a LL pull. Just before I clicked it, I found out I had a few single pull tokens for big wheel handed out from a recently ended event.

      No word of a lie, pulled him on the first single token. I was dumbfounded by the good luck. That same account got 500 5star bonus shards off a LL lastweek and it's INSANE luck right now. 

      1:250 odds for Wheel.

      and IDK what the odds are of getting 500 5star bonus shards, but it must be less than 1%.  @megabee

      The Hulk ME could be a good option with SC and Big Wheel. I got the idea from someone but I can't remember.

      I actually do really like his "spin out" animation. He seems as if he will take a bit of practice to get the best out of him but he is definitely different.
      Also for some reason I now have the wish that we could have a Big Wheel/Wacky Races crossover.
      Obviously you weren't comparing, but it's hard to imagine a character that demands more practice than Shang-Chi.
      But as to BW, I agree -- a lot of practice, and I think there will be specialists using him in PvP. There are interesting synergies with Onslaught and Prof. $. But potentially scary outcomes facing 5witch with that kind of team...

      Oh, the puns. BW is just an overall good time. I like him, but I don't like his Green and Red as much as I thought I would. Nonetheless, he is good. That Blue when he hits 10 speed points is great.

      It got me thinking, though. How many players plan on running Okoye with him? She would make a great meat shield due to her healing. My Okoye is weak so I don't know how good her boost is for BW's powers.

      How many people have an okoye who can actually tank for big wheel? Okoye is not quite as devastating a character when she doesn't tank 4+ colors (hence the number of people who invested in getting her to 500+). Seems like Shang chi, who has modern match damage (pre boost), and synergizes well with big wheel, is a better choice for those who want a true healing tank for the wheel to hide behind.  (for those who have the option to do both).

      After recording and watching closely, BW always rotates 90 ° clockwise.
      On his green power, i.e, if there is this pattern:
      Blue  (x)  Green   Tu
      Red    (x) Yellow    Tu
      Black   (x) Green  Red
      It will change to:

      Black (x) Red  Blue
      Green (x) Yellow   Green
      Red  (x) Tu   Tu
      Where all previous files will become a column, and the opposite.
      His red power is a lot easier to figure it out and it works the same.
      And his blue passive rotates the board in the same way.

      I thought I would bring this up since because I was trying to figure out what was happening.

      I got Big Wheel up to a respectable level. But since he is boosted his match damage is outpacing SC in the first turn.

      Im running Valk/SC/BW in that order.

      If you place big wheel in front like in the 5* node your matches that proc Valks bounty hunter will go green.
      If you have SC in front and you make a red a purple match the match damage increase proc increases before Bounty Hunter giving you the red AP you want.

      If you run this team you will always want Big Wheel in the last position for Bounty Hunter.

      it is also awesome when you get a wheel spin proc at the beginning of your turn after Bounty Hunter resolves on the board and you blow it up right away, which can help to keep your SC streak going.

      This team is something special and one of the most fun I’ve had in a long time.

      I think what's happening is that as you make red or purple matches, SC's match damage increases. Since his match damage is updated immediately, this turned the team strongest colour to red. Since my BW is still at low level, you might want to test with your BW if this theory is right.

      This is correct. In the 5* node BW must be first in this event. So his match is resolved first giving you green.  the challenge node you can place him last and you can get red if you match purple or red first

      If you use BW you want him to resolve last
